CHELMSFORD.—The sudden disappearance of a newly-born male infant, of which Mary Charlotte Field Lorkin, a married female, but who has for some years quitted the roof of her husband, is the re puted mother, has within the last few days caused a considerable degree of excitement in this town, and, as is usual on such occasions, various rumours respecting it are in circulation. From the active inquiries of Superintendent Anderson, the following facts have been elicited :—On the 29th ult. in formation was conveyed to that officer, that the female in question, the wife of a butcher, residing in this town, but living apart from each other, had a few days previously been delivered of a child at lodgings, which she had taken in Springfield, and that within three days after her confinement she left the house, taking the child with her. A few days after wards the child disappeared. Upon receiving this information, Superintendent Anderson called at the house of a relative of Mrs. Lorkin, in Baddow-lane, where it was understood she was staying at that time; he found her there, and in consequence of the reports he had heard, asked her whether she had not been lately confined with a male child. She was understood by Mr. Anderson to say that, on the 9th or 10th of October, she was delivered, and that Mr. Cremer had attended her in her confinement. She then proceeded to state that she had received a letter from the fa ther of the child, who she alleged to be Mr. Welton, of the Spread Eagle Inn, Ingatestone, in which he expressed a wish to meet her, at six o'clock on Sunday, the 13th ult., on the Iron-bridge, in the New London-road; that she went with the child at the time appointed, and waited fur two hours, until Mr. Welton came, when, as she alleged, he directed her to take the child to the Red Lion-lane, where he promised to meet her ; that she did so, and having wrapped up the infant in a large cloth cape, delivered it to him upon his representation that he intended to send it to a woman at Woolwich. She added that she saw Mr. Welton again on the follow ing Friday, when, in answer to her inquiries re specting the child, he told her it was alive and well at Woolwich ; she asked if she could go and . see it, to which he replied that she could not do so until after Christmas, owing to the expense. Some time before her confinement she called upon Mr. W. at his house, when, as she alleged, he offered her some medicine, with which he wished her to destroy the child. Having received the above particulars from Mrs. Lorkin, Superin tendent Anderson proceeded to Ingatestone, and re ported to Mr. Welton the statemeat she had made re specting him. Mr. W. declared it to be entirely false, and asserted that he had not seen her since her con finement. He added, that Mrs. Lorkin had repre sented to him that she was pregnant by him, and he had given her money in consequence. The same evening, about nine o'clock, Mr. Welton called upon the superintendent at the police-station, and informed him that he had forgotten to state when he was at Ingatestone that on the day on which Mrs. Lorkins had alleged the appointment was made to meet him on the bridge (the 13th), he dined with Mr. Rolph, at Billericay, and did not leave there till nine o'clock in the evening. Upon the above facts, a suspicion, it appears, has been grounded, that the child in question has been improperly dis posed of, if not destroyed. Mrs. Lorkin has been apprehended by warrant, and was on Wednesday re tnanded by J. Boggis, Esq., to afford,opportunity for the further investigation of this mysterious affair. A number of persons were yesterday engaged in drag ing the river between the two bridges, in expectation of finding the body of the child, but we have not neard that it has been found, or any additional facts have transpired.—Chelmsford Chronicle. CORONERS' INQUESTS. MYSTERIOUS CasE.—Last night Mr. Payne, the City coroner, went into a long and protracted inquiry relative to the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Yates, aged 41, the wife of a commercial agent, residing in New street. The deceased was in exceedingly good health and spirits on Tuesday evening., and accompanied her husband to the theatre, but was taken suddenly ill on Wednesday morning, and expired in a few hours. Mr. F. Pullen, surgeon, stated that he was called in on Wednesday morning last about eleven o'clock to see the deceased lady, who was evidently dying. He at first thought deceased had taken poison, but soon ascertained that was not the case—the pulse was deep and heavy, and there was every evidence of con cussion of the brain ; the pupil of the eye also evinced compression of the brain. There was a bruise over the left eye, and a livid mark across the nose. The deceased was bled twice, but died in the course of the afternoon. On making a post mortem examination, he found external marks of violence on the head. On cixamining the brain at the back part of the head he discovered a large quantity- of diffused blood, which occupied the space of a crown piece, and was the immediate cause of death. The rupture must have arisen from very considerable external violence ; there was a probability it might have been occasioned by natural causes, such as excitement; but this was exceedingly difficult to ascertain. , The CORONER called upon Mr. Yates, the husband, who was present with his solicitor to watch the case, but that gentleman stated, under the unfortunate circumstances of his wife's death, his legal adviser recommended him not to make any statement, and acting under this advice he must decline to be examined. The CORONER and jury remarked that the case was involved in great mystery, and it would be a great satisfaction to the Court if this was cleared up. Mr. Hunt, who resides in the same house with Mr. Yates and his late wife, stated that there had been a squabble on the preceding Saturday, but Mr. and Mrs. Yates lived on kind and affectionate terms. On the Wednesday morning Mr. Yates himself sent for medical assistance when his wife was taken ill. Mr. and Mrs. Yates went to see the Royal procession on Monday, and they both went to the theatre on Tuesday, accompanied by a friend, who returned home in a cab with them, but did not stay to supper. Mrs. Yates was sober, as well as her husband. On the morning after her death, Mr. Yates applied to the surgeon for a certificate, but that gentleman stated that it was one of those: cases where he could mot grant a certificate, as he thought it was requisite to have the body opened, as well as an inquest, to which Mr. Yates replied, that he had not the slightest ob jection to such a proceeding, and stated his wish to have the fullest investigation into the case. The surgeon, in answer to several questions from the Coroner, stated that the bruises on the head and eye must have been inflicted about twelve hours before death. The CORONER remarked on the great mystery and suspicion by which the case was surrounded, and the only person who could have thrown any light on the subject was the husband, who, acting under profes sional advice, had refused to make any statement, and he had a right to do so, no person being bound to criminate himself. One thing was certain—the deceased had received considerable violence, which was the occasion of her death ; the mystery was, by whom was this violence inflicted. The jury would consider whether any good would result from an ad journment, or whether they would return an open verdict. The room was then cleared, and after a long con sultation the jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased died from a rupture of the brain, but there is not sufficient evidence to determine by whati means it was caused." The inquiry lasted upwards of three hours, and caused considerable excitement. SUICIDE BY SULPIINTE or COPPER.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, at the Royal Oali, Granby-street, Waterloo-road, as to the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson, aged forty-six. It appeared that the deceased resided with her hus band, at 22, Harrington-street. On Wednesday week, when he went home to his dinner, he found her very ill and vomiting, but she would not say what she hail taken ; his son, however, told him she had broken up a piece of blue-stone (sulphate of copper), and taken it in a cup. Mr. O'Shea, a medical man, was sent for and ad ministered antidotes, but she persisted in refusing to acknowledge that she had taken the poison. She gradually sunk until last Monday, when she expired. The jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased died from the effects of sulphate of copper, which she took when in a state of temporary insanq." FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE C HATH AM SIEGE OPE RATIONS.—Yesterday a Coroner's inquest was held on the body of James Sullivan, a private of the East India Company's miners, who unfortunately lost his life the day before in one of the mines. An application was made to the Coroner to put off the inquiry until to-day, on account of the absence of Sir Frederick Smith, who is in London on special business. The CORONER observed, that in case he should find it necessary, in the course of the evidence, he would do so. Captain 'Williams and Lieut. Andrew Clark, of the Royal Engineers, gave an account of the affair similar to that which has already appeared. The for mer stated that he had had considerable experience in similar operations in Prussia, and believed them es sentially necessary for the good of the service. Both agreed that every care had been taken. Lieut. John Moggeridge, Royal Engineers, said, I relieved yesterday Lieut. Clark of duty about one o'clock. I went into the mine with Lieut. Clark to receive his instructions, and found no difficulty in breathing, and I considered the place perfectly safe. I then went out of the mine to bring in four miners to put up some frames which had been forced in by the explosion, and I helped the men to put those frames up. I then sent two of the men onwards, one named John Harris and the deceased James Sullivan, to see how much of the gallery remained undamaged. Both men carried a lighted candle. Seeing their candle go out, I called to the two miners imme diately to come back, as the air was bad, and that I would go and see that the air pipes were brought in. The two miners who stood behind me went out before me, and I supposed as I went out that the de ceased and Harris followed me. On my arrival at th e mouth of the gallery I put up the air-pipes, and had proceeded about half way between the entrance and where it is supposed the accident took place, when I heard the cry that one of the men was gone. I di rectly called for assistance, and went without delay to the spot whence the cry proceeded, and there found burning, a o ne man lying on the grou nd insensi b l e , and the other man holding his head. I cau g ht hold of the legs of with me, pulled w an b d icbiN,as him out. I n d had l thethen man on the w a candleplaced it on the ground. I still called out for assis tance, when on a su dden I became stupifi e d ; an d I am satisfied every precauti gal lery lying down. on was d t when I recovered I found myself outside of the taken to prevent say acci occurring. The evidence was confirmed by Captain and Adju tant George St. Vinc ent Whitmore, R.E., and by a corporal of the Royal Miners. Dr. Chisholm, of t he Ordnance, said t h e man had died from the effects of foul air. The jury unanimously agreed to a verdict—" That the deceased James Sullivan was accidentally killed by coming in contact w ith foul air in t he field - works on Chatham lines; and t he j ur y are of opinion that no blame or want of caution attaches to those in com mand of the siege." REFUSAL O F A CERTIFICATE FOR BIRTH AND BURlAL.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Carter, the Co roner for Surrey, held an inquest at the Hope public house, Bird-street, Kennington, on the body of a new-born female infant, who died within four hours after its birth, which was premature. The death had taken place as far back as last Monday week, and the body of the infant remained unburied, in consequence of the surgeon, who attended at the labour, having refused to give a certificate for burial unless he wal paid 15s. The Coroner said it was really shameful that the county should be put to the expense of an inquest, because the mother could not get a certificate, and a jury of sixteen gentlemen called out of their business, when there was no necessity for an inquiry, and hoped that the medical gentleman, Mr. Crich dale, of Lambeth- walk, could give some explanation as to a jury having been caused to assemble. Mr. Crichdale said, that the child had been neglected by the mother, and observed that the reason he refused a certificate was, that he was asked to give one for a still-born child. The Coroner re marked, that was a very serious charge which the surgeon had brought forward against the mo ther, and - I n!glat affect either • her liberty " er IM, and it was his duty, and the duty of the jury, to as, certain that there were just and sufficient groWs for so serious an imputation. Two females who were present, and assisted at the birth, were then examined at great length, who stated that the birth was quite unexpected, and that every proper atten tion was paid which the interests of the life of the child required. The infant only lived two hours, and that after its death the doctor (Mr. Crichiale) posi tively refused the certificate, unless he was paid 15s. for his trouble. The aunt of the child informed the jury, that the doctor had only brought forward the charge of alleged neglect because he did not get his money. They were poor people. The jury said they were satisfied that there was no imputation against the mother, and remarked that the surgeon ought not to have withheld the certificate, and re turned a verdict of " Natural Death." The Coroner, with marked emphasis, said to the relatives, " I will now give you a certificate, which you ought to have had before." The Coroner then added, " You have been called, gentlemen, unneces sarily together, and the county put to a useless ex pense ; it is nut for me to say with whom the blame rests." PROGRESS OF RAILWAY ENTER PRISE IN BENGAL. NOTIFICATION. FORT WILLIAM, AUG. 24, 1844. The Deputy-Governor of Bengal deeming the establishment of railroads throughout the Presidency of Fort William an object of great public import ance, is pleased to publish the following correspond ence for general information : " TO FREDERICK JAMES 'HALLIDAY, ESQ., &C. " 5, Wellesley-place, Calcutta, July 15, 1844. " Sir,—l have the honour to address you upon a subject to which your earliest convenient considera tion is especially requested. " 2. The project of establishing railroads in this country has not been entirely disregarded, notwith standing the impression on the part of many who, not being aware of the circumstances which constitute the practical recommendations or objections to them, entertain an idea that their introduction into India, at present, would be premature. " 3. The consideration of the practicability of lay ing down a line of railway, of the advantages which would attend it to the Government equally with the public, and the particular lines which would yield the greatest returns, and would in other respects be the most eligible, have for some time past engaged the attention of several parties, both in this country and in England ; and it is to the result of this inquiry I would beg to direct your attention. 4. That the subject is one of paramount import ance to the best interests of the country, and calcu lated in a military as well as a commercial point of view to be productive of the most beneficial results, it will, I apprehend, be unnecessary for me to demon strate. The advantages which have attended their introduction throughout Europe and in the United States will be admitted as sufficiently conclusive on this point. " 5. Without trespassing unnecessarily upon your time, I shall briefly state the object of my present ap plication, which is, to ascertain to what extent the co-operation and support of the Government will be granted, in the event of one or more lines of railway being undertaken by private capitalists. " 6. To prevent misunderstanding in regard to the nature of the assistance which is expected of the Go vernment, I beg to observe that no pecuniary aid is required. ‘• 7. I have only to request the favour of your stating, whether the Government will, in the event of a company being formed for this purpose, grant the following concessions : " 1. The ground required for the railway, which can be conceded under the powers vested in the Government, for the purpose of making and improving roads, &c.—whereby all disputes with the proprietors of the land along the lines will be avoided, and the expense of litigation prevented. " 2. A Charter or Act of Incorporation under the usual provisions and conditions. " 3. That the Government will appoint a propor tion of the Directors, in order to secure the due performance of conditions in which the Govern ment is interested. " 8. The line upon which it is intended to com mence operations has not been definitively determined, as it is dependent upon the amount of capital which can be raised at once in London for the purpose. As however, it cannot signify to the Government (who must derive considerab!e benefit from the measure under any circumstances), which line may be first com pleted, it will probably be unnecessary to do more than to state, that upon receiving your reply to the foregoing requisition, namely, whether the Government, in the event of a company being formed in London, or elsewhere, of unexceptionable re spectability, and with sufficient capital to accomplish their objects, will give their support to the extent specified, arrangements will be immediately made for active operations; and in the course of a few months I shall be prepared to submit for the approval of the Government the complete details of the undertaking, which only requires the intimation of their general approval, and promise of encouragement to enable those parties who have already made considerable progress in the matter, by the collection of statistical data, and otherwise, to complete their arrangements, and bring the subject before the public. " 0. The necessity for previously ascertaining the disposition and wishes of the Government, and of re ceiving a promise of support under the conditions re ferred to, will be apparent upon reference to the fai lure, from whatever cause, of so many of the under takings which have been placed under the exclusive management of a Calcutta Board of Directors, and without which support the parties whom I represent would be unwilling to recommend the undertaking, or to take any part in it themselves. "10. With the conditional assurance which alone is required, they entertain little doubt of being enabled to carry through what they will then he prepared to undertake, to the full and entire satisfaction of the Government, as well as to the great advantage and extension of the commerce and trade of the country. "I have,&c., " R. MACDONALD STEPHENSON." " TO FREDERICK JAMES HALLIDAY, ESQ., &C. "5, Wellesley-place, Calcutta, July 20, 1844. " Sir,—With reference to my former communica tion of the 15th inst., upon the subject of laying down one or more lines of railway, in India, I beg leave to qualify the paragraph, No. 7, which specifies the nature and extent of encouragement required by the Government, and in lieu of soliciting that the grounds for the railway be given to the company by the Go vernment, I have to request that a Charter or Act of Incorporation may be granted, with powers to pur chase the land required by the company, for public objects, under the regulation in force for that purpose, (No. I of 1824.)" " 2. I beg further to state, that in requesting the Government to nominate a proportion of the Direc tors, the object in view would be equally accom plished, whether the Government adopt this course, or by their appointment of a superintending Com mittee, to approve and sanction, on behalf of the Go vernment, the proceedings of the Board of Directors, the Committee being invested with such powers as the legal advisers of the Government may suggest. " I have, &c., " It. MACDONALD STEPHENSON." (No. 652.) " TO B. M. STEPHENSON, ESQ. " Sir,--I am directed by the Hon. the Deputy- Governor of Bengal, to acknowledge the receipt of your letters, dated the 15th and 20th ultimo, and in reply to inform you, that, in the present state of the law, it would not be in his power to authorise a railroad company to treat for the purchase of land, as for a public object, under Regulation I. of 1824 ; but he would have no objection, in the event of the formation of a company, with sufficient capital to ac complish this object in view, to apply to the Legis lature, to make the provisions of that enactment ap plicable to such purchases. " 2. In regard to a Charter, or Act of Incorpora tion, his Honour would likewise feel no hesitation in recommending, in favour of a well-constituted com pany, that the same should be granted under the usual provisions and conditions; and, in respect to the appointment of a superintending committee, Government will, of course, make arrangements, through the medium of its own officers, both for the furtherance of the undertaking, as far as may be con sistent with a due regard for the rights and interests of the different parties concerned, and fbr the safety of the community at large. " 3. The Deputy-Governor desires me to add, that he is deeply sensible of the advantages to be gained by the construction of railroad! along the principal lines of co:nmunication throughout the country, and is anxious to afford to any well-considered project for that purpose, his utmost support : 7 e h B a E ve AD & o c.

The decision of such referees or umpire to be final, but shoul I smili dispute happen to involve any question of racing law, the referees or umpire shall refer that ques tion only to the Stewards of the Jockey Club, with a request that they will determine the same, and whose opinion thereon the said referees or umpire shall adopt, confining their own judgment to the facts of the case. Any member refusing or neglecting to refer such dis puted bet, or to comply with the decision upon such reference, within one calendar month after notice of such decision from the book-keeper, either personally or by letter, to be addressed to the last known place of residence of such member, shall, upon complaint to the Committee, be deemed and treated by them as a defaulter according . to the third rule.

A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of Middlesex, was held yes terday at the Court-house, Greek-street, Soho square, J. L. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair. The Court was occupied during the greater portion of the day in revising the regulations imperative upon parties constructing sewers. The details are, however, uninteresting to general readers. A communication was received from the Holborn and Finsbury Commissioners, relative to the further deepening of the sewerage in the new line of streets from Long•acre and northwards. They declined incurring any expense for the increased digging, and stated that as the sewer now in progress would answer every present purpose, they would defer any further consideration of the subject at that time. The CHAIRMAN suggested that certain of the Com. missioners should confer with the members of the Mercers' Company, with a view to get that body to eGnsider the necessity of an improved drainage on their estate in and about Long-acre. The Chairman, Mr. White, and Mr. Willoughby, were deputed by tl-..e Court for that purpose. After receiving sundry reforts of surveyors, and ordering the payment of certain accounts, the Court adjourned till next Friday. THE NErsox DISPATCIINS AND LETT E RS.—We understand that a very large number of copies of the first volume of this truly national work were ordered from the different Book Clubs and Reading Societies on the Ifaga!ine day. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH.—The Fair Rosamond, 3, arrived here on Thursday from the West Indies. She is to be paid off, and remain at Spithead waiting for orders. The Cornwallis, 72, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, is daily expected from the East Indies. It is supposed that she is in the chops of the channel, and wind bound. The Lords of the Admiralty have issued directions, that should the present easterly winds continue, vessels are to be dispatched from Portsmouth and Plymouth to cruize in the chops of the channel, for the purpose of supplying provisions and water to such homeward-bound ships as may stand in need of them. THE PENELOPE, 22, STEAM FRIGATE, COMMO DORE JONES.—This noble, but much abused ship has been the means of saving the inhabitants of the island of Ascension from great suffering during the late scarcity of water. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer on board the Tortoise at Ascen tion, which will show how admirably the Penelope behaved, and how much her detractors are in the wrong :—" Being much in want of water, we started for St. Helena in tow of the Penelope, and in a fine style she towed us a distance of upwards of 700 miles in seven days, against a strong south east trade wind, a head sea and current, without straining her in the least. The papers may lend themselves to party feeling to abuse her as much as they please, but I will maintain that she is the most powerful and effective ship in the service, and has done what steamer never did before. Indeed, it appears a godsend her being at the island at such a time, for, without her assistance the goo d people of this island stood a chance of being subjected to much suffering from the want of water." A new steam tender, for the use of her Majesty, is bei b n e g l b 3 u o iltby Mss feet long n s d D 2 i o tch fe b e u t r i n n e b a r nd eadAtlha,re. and Sishenoist to to draw more than six feet water. Her engines are to be constructed by Messrs. Penn, and will he of 160 horse power. THE ALERT, 10, COMMANDER BOSANQUET.—Pri vate letters have been received from this ship which give a perfect refutation to the statement that shipta was s been boarded publi and searchedshedbyan b American an skipperan who officer and boat's crew of the Alert, It appears that the vessel in (loca tion was F,',lpposed, and not without reasoil to I,)e P" gaged in the slave trade, 941(1 that the seD34, was .. con ducted throughout in the most Is. coming and proper spirit, and with the utmost forbearance, notwith standing the obstructions offered by the skirper of the . . supposed slaver. It has become the fashion, however, now to misrepresent the conduct of British officers engaged in the arduous and harassing duties whit they are necssarily called upon to fulfil in the stir pression of the slave -trade, when they board suspect( d vessels. The performance of this act of duty is, in the present day, a subject of complaint against the officer vi ho does it, and in nine cases out of ten the parties who most loudly complain are those who are most actively engaged in this nefarious trade. THE ROYAL ACADEMY AND THE KING OF THE FRENCH. The following address from the Royal Academy of Arts to the King of the French, was presented to his Majesty by Sir Robert Peel, during his residence in this country :-- "To his Majesty Louis Philippe, Kit g of the French. " We, the President., Council, and Members of the Royal Aeademy of Arts, beg leave most humbly to approach your Majesty for the purpose of joining in the general manifestation of sincere respect 'and cordial welcome which your Majesty has experienced from the British community on the auspicious occa sion of your Majesty's visit to our most gracious and beloved Sovereign. " As artists, we are most anxious that the voice of the arts of our country should be heard in the loud chorus of congratulation which greets your Majesty's safe arrival among a people who justly appreciate your virtues, and highly estimate the character of the great nation which you so • worthily represent. But most especially we are desirous, in the name of those en nobling pursuits to which we are devoted, to offer to your Majesty the tribute of our grateful acknowledg ments for the generous favour and protection which have been invariably extended to them under your enlightened sway. " To expatiate to your Majesty on the importance of the fine arts would be as ill-timed as unnecessary —their eulogium is indelibly stamped on the records of time, and their powers universally recognised in the ameliorated character of man. Your Majesty has effectually proved your sense of their value by the efforts you have made to promote them. You have zealously sought to procure for your country - the benefit of their humanizing influence, and to unite in her history, with the splendour of her renown, the unstained glories of those great agents of civilization and refinement. You have succeeded, Sire, in the objects of your patriotic ambition, and while von have raised the arts to that high station to which they are justly entitled among the dearest interest society, the grateful genius of your country h nobly re sponded to your call. You have created a school of art which takes a proud and honourable place among those civilized communities who desire to combine the triumphs of peace with the trophii.s of war. You have /produced great artists and great works, and while with the candour which must ever inspire the true artist, we applaud their excellence and acknow ledge their celebrity, we zealously desire, in a spirit of amicable rivalry, to emulate their merits and their fame. " We are, Sire, so fortunate as to enjoy the pa tronage and protection of a gracious Queen, who ge nerously encourages our efforts and cheers us forward in the career of honourable competition ; who, like you, Sire, desires to secure for her people the bless ings that flow from order, freedom, and peace, and who participates with your Majesty in all those ex alted qualities which prompt you to cherish with affectionate solicitude those interesting pursuits which are the measure of refinement in all civilized States, which soften the heart, elevate the feelings, and sub• due the turbulent passions of man. "In conclusion, Sire, we sincerely pray that your Majesty may long live to witness the happy results of your enlightened labours, and to receive your most gratifying rewards in the peace, prosperity, and contentment of a loyal, generous, and grateful people.

To the above adegss 'the loyal Academy was ho noured with the OobloWing gracious answer, trans mitted to them br4ii= - Robert Peel : " Windsor Castle, Oct. 13, 1844. " My dear &VII beg leave, in compliance with the wish expresseQ by his Majesty the King of the French, to transmit to you the copy of an autograph letter which I have had the honour of receiving from his Majesty, in reply to that with which I accompa nied the address of the Royal Academy.—l have the honour to be, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, (Signed) "ROBERT PEEL. " The President of the Royal Academy." " Windsor Castle, Oct. 12, 1844. " Sir,—lf anything could add to the satisfaction with which 1 receive the address from the Royal Academy, it is that it should have been transmitted by you. I hope you will permit me likewise to re• quest your kind interference for conveying to the President, Council, and members of that distinguished body the expression of the high value 1 set upon their suffrage, and the deep sense with which 1 am im pressed by the flattering manifestation of their senti ments for my country. and myself.—l am, Sir, with the most sincere regard, your affectionate (Signed)` "Louis PninirrE," LIGHT GOLD. The fact that a_great quantity of li g ht go ld h as found its way to New York is mentioned in the New York Republican. Gold coin was, it seems, imported in large quantities from England in the year 1843, while there has been no material export since 1841 ; and the consequence is, that the vaults of the New York banks are well stocked with English gold, the expense of removing it to Philadelphia to be coined being too great to render such an operation profit . able. This gold coin having been chiefly sent before the appearance of the proclamation by which light sovereigns were withdrawn from circulation, it is generally found to be below the standard value. The coin has mostly been made in the reigns of the Georges. Mention is made of a counterfeit sovereign being made in this country according to a low standard of gold, for the express purpose of circulation in the United States. The fact that such coin has been manufactured is, we believe, unquestionable, as two or three sovereigns below the proper standard are said to have been received by the Bank of England, where the imitation was declared so perfect, that no other establishment but that or the Mint could, have detected the fraud. These counterfeit F.bvereigns may possibly have some connexion with the abun ciaiice of light gold in the American bonds ; but there is this circumstance against the supposition—that the light gold is described as belonging to the period of the Georges, while the counterfeit seems to be an imitation of the sovereign of her present Majesty, Victoria. At all events, however, it does not seem impossible that an attempt has been made to pass off among the Americans a coin the real value of which is not equal to that which it nominally bears. Sovereigns are not merely treated as bullion in New York, but pass from hand to hand at their nominal value, and hence an inducement for getting rid of I light coin obviously exists. SCOTTISH SYSTEM of BANKING. STIRLING COUNTY MEETING. A meeting of the county, on the subject of Scot tish banking, took place at Stirling, on Friday, and it was extremely gratifying to see the complete Una nimity which prevailed. Not a dissentient voice, and the subject about which they met appeared so plain and self-evident, that no one thought of making any speech of importance, or of explaining that which needed, as they were aware, no explanation. Neither did they think it necessary to arouse any one to op ' pose the nonsensical and altogether uncalled-for inter ference of the Government with the currency of Scot land. They wisely considered, that as Scotland her. self was satisfied with the currency, nobody else had any interest in the matter, and, therefore, it would be highly impolitic in the Legislature to attempt to de prive Scotland of a currency which she values above gold. The following resolutions, moved by J. L. K. Lennox, Esq., of Woodhead, Convener of the county, and seconded by Colonel Dundas, of Carronhall, were unanimously adopted, viz.:— << 1. That this meeting, in common with the rest of the people of Scotland, is satisfied by experience, that great benefits have arisen, and do arise, from the spe cies of banking now established in this part of the United Kingdom. c). That any change in that system is to be depre cated, but more especially that any alteration, by which the issue of One Pound Notes would be abo.. lished, or the circulation restricted, is to be resisted to the utmost. ,‘ 3. That should a measure, making such altera tion, be proposed to Parliament, this meeting trusts es opposition representatives to i t; the Members for the County and Burghs will unit e , o a f nd Sc til ll C n o ci nv i e n ner th is e most with strenuous n n oth u r hereby instructed, in that event, to call a meeting of the County to consider how the • • opposition may be best supported."—Stirling Observer. BRIDGWATER.—We have to record the loss of the schooner John and Mary, of this port, on her passage to this place on Thursday last, with a cargo of coals. This vessel left Newport the day before ? an.'a to all appearance was then in perfect condition, out we understand she sprung a leak in the (! I "..annel, and shortly after went clown in two:l:Ay c.. - ,et of water. On discovering the leak the Du cps were used, but the water rapidly increased in the hold, and the crew finding their:efforts of no avail immediately took to the ship's boat, and were shortly after picked up by a passing vessel. The cargo and vessel belonged to Captain Hercules Fowels, of this port, and was supposed to be worth about 600/. or 7001. % Somerset County Herald.
