A letter has been received at Lloyd's to-day from the Ad miralty, containing the official documents relating to the re• capture of the brigantine Hannah, of Sydney, of which the following is a copy " Government House, Auckland, New Zealand, " Nov. 14, 1843. " Sir,—l have to report the capture of the piratical brigan tine, the Hannah, by the harbour-master (Mr. Rough), aided by a detachment of the 80th Regiment, under the command of Ensign Wellman, under the following circum stances :—On the 31st ult. it was reported by the police ma gistrate that he had issued warrants for the capture of William Ellis, and eight seamen, upon a charge of piracy, preferred by Mr. Horton, whom Ellis had forced to act as mate of the Hannah, which had been seized by Ellis, whilst lying at the Chatham Islands, where Captain Bell had been put ashore, and the supercargo and a seaman who had been shot by Ellis, and were supposed to have been mortally wounded, had been landed at some place on the Southern Island. The schooner had then proceeded to New Zealand, and lastly to a small harbour in one of the Mercury Islands, where she was at the time lying, and in tended proceeding to Torres Straits, on a piratical voyage. I desired Mr. Rough to engage the Arid schooner, belonging to Messrs. Wright and Graham, who placed her at my dis posal, but she was lying with sails unbent and rigging un rove, without a crew. Notwithstanding, a crew were en gaged, the detachment shipped on board, with a month's provision', at midnight set sail, and at two P.m., next day, were alongside the Hannah, and captured her without re sistance. The prisoners have been committed for trial at the ' next sessions, and the schooner has been detained for sailing under false papers. (Signed). " WILLOUGHBY SHORTLAND." DISPENSARY FOR CONSUMPTION, DISEASES OF THE HEART. &c., 113, STRAND.—Among the many valuable cha rities of which this country can boast, there is none more entitled to support than one for the successful treatment of consumption. From the prospectus of the above Dispensary, it is proposed to give gratuitous advice and medicine, when necessary, to those who are provided with a letter of recom mendation from any donor to the Institution, and on certain days, which are appointed, to every poor person, without re ference to sex or country. Lord Bloomfield, and several other persons of distinction, have become patrons to this Institu tion, which, from its central situation (the populous neigh bourhood of the Strand),„cannot fail to be felt as a blessing to the numerous distressed poor with which this locality abounds. Dr. Cronin, whose new theory, and successful treatment of consumption, has already attracted so much attension, is the managing director and physician, while seve ral other distinguished medical gentlemen have given their support, by becoming members of the committee.

A Cologne journal observes, that in consequence of the im proved service of the steam-packets, letters are now only thirty-six hours on their way from London to Cologne. The steamers Orenoque and Cuvier are undergoing arrang ments at Toulon to receive on board a detachment of cavalry fur Algeria. We learn from Auch that Mme.

The Droit states that Edouard Donon Cadot, who was ac gutted a few days ago on the charge of having been an accom plice in the murder of his father, has returned to Pontoise. It is said that he will enter the office of one of the notaries of that town as a clerk. A great part of the village of Vilaines, in the Nievre, was destroyed a few days ago by fire.

In the Rolls Court an application was made to direct the Master to find how much money had been received by Alder man Gibbs from a certain property in the parish of St. Ste phen's, Walbrook, which was bequeathed for charitable pur poses, to take an account of all that had been laid out by him for the benefit of the parish, and to make out what was due from or to Alderman Gibbs; also to make all due and just allowances. There was a motion tendering for a receiver, which it was proposed may be postponed fill the account be made out by the Master. After a brief statement from coun sel, Lord Langdale said it would be myre satisfactory to all parties that the accounts should be 'taken, and granted the order. In the Court of Exchequer, Mr. Taylor, an architect and surveyor, in Parliament-street, brought an action against the Southwark-bridge Company, to recover damages fur injuries sustained in a fall, occasioned by the alleged negligence of the defendants. On the 21st of November last, the plaintiff was waiting the steamer at the Southwark-bridge steam pier, when he fell against the combing of an open hatchway, and fell with his side upon the opposite ledge. He was lifted from the opening in an almost senseless condition by two gentlemen, the only persons present, and who had been alarmed at hearing a heavy groan. By the next boat he was removed to his father's at Westminster. Here he was attended four days, during which time he suffered from col lapse, fever, and various pains. The surgeon's bill amounted to 151. 1 ls. 6d. Verdict for plaintiff, damages, 401. A summons was heard at Bow-street before Mr. Jardine against Mr. Henry Smith, landlord of the White Hart, Catherine-street, Strand, charging him with having kept his house open for the sale of beer, &c., at other hours than by law allowed, to wit, at fourteen minutes past twelve, on the morning of Sunday the 30th of June. After the policeman, F 39, had told his tale, Mr. John Collin, an independent gentleman, of Brighton, who was lodging at Mr. Smith's; Mr. Joseph Woodward, solicitor, of No. 43, Gower-place ; and John Jenkins, the waiter, who had the care of the door, who all swore that no liquor was drawn after twelve o'clock, when the house was scrupulously cleared. Mr. Jardine, on such respectable evidence, could not hesitate on deciding against the policeman's testimony, and dismiss the summons. At Guildhall, George Hubble, one of the toll-takers at the Southwark-bridge, was summoned for assaulting Charles F. King, and detaining his hat, on Friday night. The com plainat stated that he was a table-decker, and had been em ployed at Warrener's Tavern, at Erith, on Friday. He re turned, in charge of some valuable property, at night, to the Southwark-bridge pier, and it was placed in a truck. He thought he was entitled to go over the bridge in the truck free of expense, as the man who drew the truck paid a penny for himself, and twopence was paid for the truck. On coming within four yards of the gate this money was paid, but the tollman demanded another penny from the complainant. He refused to pay it, and alighted from the truck. This, how ever, did not satisfy the tollman , who seized his hat by way of distraint for the toll. Mr. Alderman Hooper said the Act allowed the toll to be taken for " passing over" the bridge, and payment could not be enforced from a person who came up to the check for foot passengers, and then declined going over. He, therefore, ordered the tollman to restero the hat and pay the costs. _ COUNIT-rAssincomusiszE,..

The crew of the Camperdown is to be turned over to the Queen, and the ship will be out of com mission. The St. Vincent has left Portsmouth, and it is un derstood will cruize in the chops of the channel. On Tuesday the half-yearly meeting of the Royal Humane Society was held in the office, Trafalgar-square, Admiral Sir Edward Codrington in the chair. The meeting was thinly attended. The minutes of previous meetings having been read and confirmed, it was announced that his Impe rial Majesty the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony had been elected honorary members of the Society. His Im perial Majesty, it appeared, was mainly instrumental in sav ing the life of an individual last season, who had well nigh been drowned in the Vilna. Of cases which had occurred since December last there had been 42, of these 39 had been successful through the assistance of the Society's exer tions—three unhappily were beyond recovery. Several medals were awarded, and the meeting separated. Two new churches are about to be built in Pimlico, one in the Belgrave-read, near Warwick-square, and the other near the Orange Tavern. A Correspondent of the Dublin Pilot says, the Government has spies in every Catholic chapel in the country. The police, it appears—the Catholic police—have been ordered to report everything said by the priests about repeal. Several of the police have been dismissed for refusing to become spies and informers. The annual festival of the Metropolitan Free Hospital took place last evening at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, under the most favourable auspices. The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor took the chair. The Honorary Secre tary, Mr. E. F. Chance, read the report, from which it appeared that the object contemplated by the benevolent founders of the hospital was to afford daily medical and sur gical relief gratuitously to the helpless, friendless, and afflicted poor, without requiring from them a governor'sletter of recommendation; and, should the funds increase, to receive into the hospital all cases of emergency and severity. Nearly 10,000 persons were relieved during the past year, and the committee had resolved from henceforth to open the institu tion for the reception of in-door patients, in firm reliance on the increased liberality of the public.

The distance rowed was from off the St. Kathatine's Dock entrance and round a vessel moored below New Crane stairs, twice each heat. The fourth, or grand heat for the new skiff, lay between Joseph Church, Hermitage-stairs (yellow), and Richard Jackson, Wapping Nem- stai rs (green), Church being the favourite. At starting Church took the lead and kept it a considerable distance, Jackson being close behind, both men displaying excellent science. When half the distance bad been rowed, Jackson headed Church, and won by nearly four lengths. Mr. Thompson, the manager conducted the proceedings in an impartial and satisfaCtory manner. ..ng.

The object of the promoters of: this indetiz ficent assembly has been fully gained. We stated, at a rough guess, yesterday, that there was between 1,200 and 1,300 persons of rank and distinction at the ball ; we can now assert, on authority, that no less than 1,438 tickets were actually entered, so that upwards of 1,0001. will pass into the exche quer of the Committee. _ _ In an early stage of the arrangements, the ladies patronesses were unanimous in their desireto limit the issue of vouchers, but owing to the extensive demand it was judged almost a necessity to increase the original number named by 500. On Monday afternoon vouchers could not be procured for either lore or money. It was shortly after nine when the carriages began to set down company at both entrances to the room, and there was an uninterrupted succession of arrivals until after one. The arrangements for the reception of the company were beyond all praise. The splendid rooms are well known to our aris tocracy to possess all the conveniences requisite for a monstre ball, certainly not to be approached by any other establish ment. On this occasion it was necessary, however, to in crease the ordinary accommodation, in order that the per sonal comfort of all present should be insured. The supper room on the ground-floor was appropriated for dancing, and the staircase leading from that room to the ball-room above was suitably decorated with exotics, &c., and access was gained with the greatest facility to both rooms. The grand ball-room had rows of raised seats arranged at the east end, covered with crimson, exclusively for the use of the ladies patronesses, and those beauties of our nobility who were to take part in the fancy quadrilles. The five costly chan deliers, and the girandoles, from which the room was illumi nated by hundreds of wax lights, were tastefully orna mented with roses and camellias. In the supper-room an extended table was supplied with the choicest refresh ments, and two rooms up stairs were set apart for refections of a lighter description. Several of the rooms, as well as the staircases, were abundantly embellished by flowering plants and exotica. The ladies patronesses were in early attendance, and were conducted to what is termed at Almack's the " Card Room," although at those assemblies such instruments of gaming are never allowed. The tea room, invariably used as the salon of meeting for those dominant personages, was on Monday the locale for the congregation of the ladies and gentlemen taking characters in the Waverley quadrille (the Marchioness of Londonderry's), so that not the slightest confusion arose. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived from Gloucester House precisely at ten o'clock, the leading ladies patronesses advancing to meet that illustrious and ami able member of our Royal Family. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Major Stephens, came shortly after his royal sister. The Royal Duke wore the uniform of Colonel of the Coldstream Guards, and the riband of the order of the Garter. It was nearly eleven when the Hereditary Grand Duke of Meeklenburgh_Strelitz arrived. By half-past ten the ball-room was crammed to excess, and it was feared that from the intense anxiety manifested by the company . to witness the procession of the Waverley quadrille, great inconvenience would be experienced in the necessary endeavour to obtain sufficient space for the forma tion of the quadrille. As a prelude to the commencement of the ball, Tolbecque's powerful orchestra played the national anthem, at the con clusion of which the folding doors of the tea-room were thrown open. All eyes were directed to that apartment, and a signal having been conveyed to M. Tolbecque, the band struck up the march of the " English Volunteers," at which the procession began its progress along the left centre of the salon de danse, to the raised benches where the Royal Family and ladies patronesses were seated, advancing in the follow ing order, the annexed programme setting forth the names and assumed characters of the Marchioness of Londonderry's monstre quadrille : COUNT ROBERT OF PARIS.

We are enabled to say that "the measure" was gone through most successfully. It is due to the Marchioness of Londonderry to remark, at this stage of our notice, that all those persons of fashion who participated, not only in her quadrille, but in the pleasures of the night, are greatly in debted to her ladyship for the great attraction and rare en tertainment she undertook to complete.

THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, JULY B.—The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. At one o'clock Mr. Smith O'Brien entered, and moved Edmund Burke Roche, Esq., M.P. for the county Cork, to the chair. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at considerable length. He congratulated the Association on the proud posi tion which it occupied at the present moment, and recom mended firmness and determination ; but, above all, concilia tion, as the means by which they would be sure to achieve 'their object. He considered it injudicious to press the repeal test on those Liberal members who had not as yet identified themselves with the movement, but recommended the adop tion of a repeal registration, which would enable the people of Ireland to return at the next general election men who would not be ashamed to serve their country. Circumstances, he had no doubt, would shortly arise, which would prove to every well-wisher of his country that there was no hope for Ireland but in the restoration of her domestic Legislature. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN said he had the pleasure of com mencing business by handing in a large number of contri butions from various parts of the country. Among the sums handed in were 40/. from Monaghan; from Suncroft, county Kildare, 3 4 2/. ; Bandon, 481. 14s. ; Dromore, 23/. ; Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 71. 2s. 6d.. The Hon. Gentleman announced that he had received upwards of 500/. by post that morning. Mr. Fogarty, of Cabra Castle, handed in 341.105. from two parishes in the county Tipperary. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in several subscriptions, amongst them a sum of money from the Irish labourers in Rotherhithe. He had the pleasure of addressing a meeting of these men the other evening, which was composed of at least 2,000 of as, fine and able-bodied men as ever he saw collected. They were such as would delight the eyes of a recruiting sergeant.—(Cheers.) He then gave notice that on the next day of meeting he would move the thanks of the Association to the repealers of London. Mr. W. J. O'CoNNEEE spoke to the merits of the repealers of London, and addressed the meeting in a humorous speech. Dr. NAGLE read a declaration from the person that was re fused admission into the Meath Hospital, in consequence of his exhibiting a repeal button, stating the facts of the case, which went to inculpate the authorities of that establishment. Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, jun., read an address to his father from the directors and professors of the institution of Bitche (Moselle), France, and regretted that the position in which his father was placed precluded the possibility of his return ing a suitable reply. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN handed in a large number of remit tances from the north and other parts of the country. Mr. JonN A. O'NEILL, of Bunowen Castle, then rose and moved the adoption of the following resolution :—" That we recommend Irishmen of all classes to meet in their respective parishes throughout Ireland on the 30th day of each suc ceeding May, being the anniversary of the imprisonment of the most successful champion of civil and religious liberty throughout the world, O'CONNELL ; the same day being also the anniversary of the incarceration of his patriotic asso ciates, John O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Richard Barrett. John Gray, Charles G. Duffy, and Thomas Mathew Rat', Esqrs., all of whom were unconstitutionally charged with a con spiracy against the peace andwelfare of their fellow-subjects, but who gloried in the true accusation, that they had sti mulated the people of Ireland to dethand their rights, and to achieve, peacefully, the legislative independance of their na tive land." The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to describe the merits of the several State prisoners, and their claims on the gratitude of the Irish people. Ills object in bringing for ward this motion was to perpetuate patriotic, not vindictive, feelings.—(Hear, hear.) Mr.P., seconded the motion in an emphatic Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN brought forward the report of the Par- E speech. IHENRYY GAITAN' Par liamentary Committee on the subject of the different Bills affecting Irish interests at present under the consideration of the Legislature. The Committee regretted that they felt themselves constrained to recommend resistance to every Bill, having reference to this country, that wag before the House. Mr. M. O'CoNNEEL handed in 31/. from Liverpool, 10/. from Bradford, and 681. from America ; and then proceeded at considerable length to oppose the renewal of the Party Processions Bill. Mr. D.O'ContELL, jun., said, he had his usual weekly account from the prison. His father and brother were in the best health and spirits. His father was delighted with the peace able state of the country, and he was convinced that any apprehensions had entirely vanished ; and his only advice wa s "persevere, persevere, persevere." He thought it right to say there was a system of arbitration, disconnected with the Association, under the consideration of the committee, and as soon as it was ready they would submit it to his f a ther.—(Hear, hear.) QUARTER PAST FlVE. — Amount of the rent for the week, at this moment, 2,100/. Yesterday must have been a day particularly grate ful to Mr. Alderman Adam, and one he will not easily for get. He arrived yesterday from Paris, and about one o'clock the whole of the officers of the National Guard, headed by Colonel Sansot, their commander, waited in a body on Mr. Adam, to congratulate him on the successful termination of his labours in the cause of the town, by the adoption of a railway to Boulogne from Amiens by the Chamber of Deputies ; 'as also to return him, in the name of the town, their grate ful thanks for his services and unceasing exertions to bring it to so happy a conclusion. We understand that the Mayor was deeply affected by this unexpected honour, and the ad dress made to him by Mr. Sansot, in the name of all present ; s o much so that he could at first scarcely reply, but when and, as tru e merit always does, begged that he had a little recovered himself, h e re pl ie d w ith his u sua l happy would not pyfelieity consider the important victory just gained as due to his exertions solely, but to many others, to each and all of whom he paid a just tribute of praise. When the de putation left him they visited Mr. Fontaine, whom they also thanked for his exertions.—Boulogne Gazette. BURNING OF THE MADRA S TRANSPORT -SHIP, OFF DEPTFORD DOC K YARD. — Yesterday morning, shortly after midnight, a most alarming fire was discovered raging ou board the Madras transport-ship, whilst lying in the River, off Deptford Dockyard. She is the property of Mr. Somes, the extensive shipowner at Ratcliffe, and has recently been chartered by Government for the conveyance of stores and ammunition to Hong-Kong. Immediately on the dockyard authorities being made aware of the outbreak, Sir John Hill, the captain-superintendent, directed the large floating en gine to be taken alongside the burning vessel, manned by fifty of the Royal Marines, and fifty policemen and labourers. It was speedily got to work, and threw a vast body of water into the hold, but the flames were so overpowering that it was deemed prudent to haul her into the middle of the river, so as to scuttle her. In doing this she unfortunately broke away, and drifted athwart the General Steam Navigation Com pany's steamers at Deptford, and a host of Dutch galliots. The confusion and alarm then became double, and several poor Dutch seamen fell overboard and were nearly drowned, as was the case with a few of the Marines, by falling from the engine. At length all were got clear, and at four o'clock the Madras was securely scuttled in shallow water. The loss is very considerable, and the owner is understood not to be insured. The sunken vessel will be raised in a few days, by means of chain lighters. F R IGHTFUL STEAM-BOAT COLLIS ION .—A f r i g h t f u l steam-boat collision, providentially unattended with loss of left and Chandler's, to the wooden life,ali o g c h eu t iron rre boat d yesterday was eN he way ellir evening gin Lambeth reac h.

The passengers were thrown prostrate on the deck, the railing and seats of which were carried away. Several watermen immediately put off from either side, but fortunately there were no per sons overboard, and the Daylight, in her crippled state, made the pier at Lambeth, where she landed her passengers. Although many were severely bruised, the only serious in juries we could ascertain were the fracture of a child's leg and the dislocation of a lady's collar bone. It is evident that both boats must have been go i n g at great speed, but which cap tain was most to blame will, in all probability, be the subject of legal inquiry. THE WEATHER IN SHROPSHIRE.—At length we • have some hope that the corn and hay crops, especially the latter, may turn out not to be one-half so bad as the long dry season led people to suppose. On Thursday we had a steady rain during the day and night, and yesterday there were some refreshing showers. The holders of large stocks of hay will find themselves disappointed in obtaining the monstrous pricos anticipated, and the corn harvest will be of average quality and quantity, with the exception of straw being short.--41tropshire Conservative.. CURIOUS LOCALITY FOR A NEST.—A small steamer, the Clarence, lies at Annan Waterfoot, and plies between it and Port Carlisle, in the way of tugging vessels. A pair of swallows built their nest last year under the sponsors of one of the paddle-wheels, not more than three feet above the water, and succeeded in bringing forth their young There THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. Yesterday a meeting of the Roman Catholics of Lon don was held at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford square, for the purpose of adopting an address of sym pathy to Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners, and also to adopt such measures, in case of the House of Lords recognising the validity of the verdict of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, as would enable the English Catholics to manifest their appreciation of Mr. O'Connell's efforts in the cause of civil and religious freedom, by subscribing towards a fund for paying the excessive fines - which were inflicted upon him and the other traversers. J. R.Cocke, 11 , q., having taken the chair, the Secretary proceeded to read the address to Mr.O'Connell, which was couched in terms of the strongest affection and respect towards the Iron. and Learned Gentleman, and which expressed the conviction of the meeting that the verdict was obtained by the total perversion of justice, equity, and truth. The CHAIRMAN , in addressing the meeting, said that the Catholics of London: were bound by every principle of gratitude and sympathy, during his incarceration, towards him through whose medium their fetters had been struck off. He cautioned the meeting that it was not a repeal meeting, and trusted that no speaker would discuss this subject, as he thought it would be much more flattering to Mr. O'Connell to receive the unani mous address of 200,000 English Catholics, irrespective of the varied views which they might entertain upon that question. H. BARNWELL, Esq. proposed the first resolution, to the effect that the late proceedings against Mr. O'Con nell and the other prisoners was most unjust and op pressive, and that the proceedings had been carried out in a party and sectarian spirit. The Rev. R. CHAP3IAN seconded the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. JOHN BLOOMFIELD, Esq., proposed the next resolu tion, which assured Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-tra versers of the sympathy of the English Roman Catholics towards them in their captivity, and of their lasting gratitude to Mr. O'Connell fur his past services to the cause of Catholicity in general, and pledging the meeting that it would join with the Irish nation in the glorious privilege of purchasing the freedom of Mr. O'Connell and his brother sufferers, by subscribing to the amount so unjustly imposed upon them as the price of their political ransom. Dr. O'CoNNoR seconded the resolution, which was passed with acclamation. Mr. Wm. AMHERST proposed the next resolution, which determined that a deputation should be appointed, who would wait upon Mr. O'Connell in prison, and pre sent him with the address. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, which separated after a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Upon the platform we observed several of the most eminent clergymen and influential gentlemen belonging to the Roman Catholic persuasion in London. DREADFUL MURDER AND AT TEMPTED SUICIDE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY MORNING.—On Sunday night last the inhabitants of Salford were thrown into a state of great alarm by the discovery of a most brutal and cold blooded murder which had been perpetrated by a man of the name of Thomas Stew, who afterwards attempted the de struction of his own life. It appears that the perpetrator of this deed was a labourer, and of rather indifferent character. He kept company with the unfortunate victim of his cruelty, and appeared to be passionately fond of her. Her name was Alice Nolan. She was a factory girl, about 28 years of age. On Saturday night last they met at the house of a friend, where they passed some time together. In the course of the evening Stew told the deceased that he had bought the ring, and by her consent ordered the banns to be published, and requested her to get ready to be married in three weeks. Deceased was angry, and told him that as he had done so without consulting her she would not be married then. Some words of an unpleasant nature were exchanged on the sub ject, but nothing to attract the attention of the parties in whose house they were. It appeared, however, that the deceased was alarmed at something which he had said to her, as she went home in a state of considerable excitement. On Sunday morning they again met at, the same house, where they spent the day together. They appeared perfectly friendly, and in the afternoon went out together and stayed away for nearly two hours. About five o'clock the deceased returned by herself, and was shortly followed by Stew. He was then labwring under great excitement. Shortly afterwards he went out to a neighbour's house and borrowed a razor and brush, as he said, to shave himself. The parties had tea together and appeared quite friendly. Between nine and ten o'clock they left the house of their friend with a view of going home. The villain appears to have taken the unfortunate female down a back street and walked her to a vacant plot of ground, known as "Shaw's-brow," where they got into conversation, and whilst talking to her he drew the razor from his pocket and cut her throat from ear to car. There were numbers of people within sight of the spot where the murder was committed, but none of them observed them standing together. The poor creature staggered about 40 yards and then fell upon the flags, with her head against the wall of a cottage. She was first seen by a girl about 16 years of age, named Bury, who flew to her assistance and screamed out " Murder." A working man, named Thomas Barber, came up at the same time and put his handkerchief round her throat; but in less than five minutes she expired. The murderer having effected his purpose ran off, and on reaching the house of their friend, where they had spent the day, he came down the yard singing very loud, and making, a great noise ; he placed his finger upon the latch of the door, and attempted to open it, but could not. He was then heard to say, "Here goes," and in another instant the door flew open and he fell flat upon the floor, bleeding profusely. On being taken up and examined, it was found that he had in flicted a deep wound upon his throat, from which the blood was flowing in all directions. The woman of the house put her arms round his neck, and held the wound together, until a surgeon arrived, when it was sewed up. The un fortunate man never spoke during the whole of the operation. He was immediately conveyed to the Manchester Infirmary, where he now lies without the least prospect of recovery. Last night an inquest was held on view of the body, before Mr. Rutter, when some of the above facts were given in evi dence; but the inquiry being considered incomplete, the inquest was adjourned till Thursday afternoon, at five o'clock. THE LATE W. H. STUCKEY, C. E. Died last Thursday, W. H. Stuckey, C. E., the author of the system of Filtering large bo . dies of water, that goes by his name. He was also the inventor of many important discoveries, especially one for a New Motive Power by a pneumatic process, which has obtained patents in Eng land, France, Holland, Belgium, and Austria ; and another for a Process of Tanning, which, like his Filtra tion, economised space, time, and money. The de ceased's system for filtering water was recommended in both houses of Parliament, and Lords Brougham and Radnor especially called the attention of Government and the Commissioners on the Health of Large Towns to its great utility. In France it is about being applied to all the fountains of Paris, and here to the intended fountains in Trafalgar-square. Mr. Stuckey was born at Cherson, on the banks of the Dnieper, where Howard, the philanthropist, died. He was afterwards a civil engineer and merchant in St. Petersburgh, where, having obtained the Governor's (Count Essen's) approbation for his plan for supplying that city with pure water, he was doomed to endure the consequences of arbitary power. The son of a member of the Government finding the intended plan to be a profitable one, solicited the con tract, and obtained it. Stuckey was ordered to take down his works and sacrifice his capital. He asked the reason. The reply was characteristic—" It is your duty to obey, and not put impertinent questions." Descended from English parents, and with English feelings, he re fused. The works were pulled down in the dead of night by 200 men of the fire-brigade. He petitioned seventeen times without obtaining a single answer. His anxiety at seeing himself so treated where his brother had been ennobled for kis public services by the late Emperor Alexander, and his father acknowledged to he the best builder of the Russian navy, laid the foundation of the disease of which he died. Ile refused to state his wrongs during the recent visit of the Emperor Nicholas, as he considered that the Emperor knew nothing personally about the conduct of his Ministry, though the letter of the Marquis of Northampton, as the President of the Royal Society, stating that the Emperor ought to be well received in this country, from the patronage afforded to English men of science by the Russian Government, could in his own case and a hundred others be flatly Idenied. He died a martyr to science—a victim to arbi trary power. NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES, OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &c —Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary advantage derived from this invention is that vision becomes preserved and strengthened and very aged per: sons are enabled to employ their sight either by day or candle light at the most minute occupation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the frequent changes to further helps as the Spectacles now in common use.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold atParis is 124 uer mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOiti. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 464 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 472, it follows that gold is 0.04 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10411. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 84, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London.

(YESTERDAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Dillon, a young and beautiful girl, wearing a profusion of jewellery, was placed at the bar on the following charge:— Police-constable John Cox, No. 63 of the C division, stated that between two and three o'clock this morning, as he was proceeding on duty along Piccadilly, he found the defendant sitting at the step of a door near to St. James's Church. her head was leaning on her knees, and at first he concluded that she was sleeping, but on a closer inspection he found she was in a state of complete stupor. lle therefore conveyed her to the station-house, where, by the direction of Inspector Frowd of the C division, she was attended by Dr. Tothill, of Charles-street, St. James's-square, the divisional surgeon of the force ; but two hours elapsed before she was restored to a state of consciousness. She afterwards intimated by signs to the Inspector that she was deaf and dumb, and ultimately wrote her name and her address, at Fulham, on a slate— but she declined giving any further information respect ing herself. Dr. Tothill was of opinion that she was suffering from the effects of some intoxicating fluid, which, of course, might hava been designedly administered to her. Inspector Frowd said, he had no doubt of the defea dnt actually being dumb. Mr. MALTBY—Dear one ; is that the fact—does any one know her ? Sergeant Burnett, No. 20 of the C division, said, that ' a twelvemonth ago she was living in a style of great splendour in Piccadilly, under the protection of a nobleman. Inspector Frowd said a very valuable gold watch was found in her posession, but no money. It also appeared that about twelve months ago she was finind insensible in the street, and was locked up in a station-house for the night, on the supposition that Alt was drunk, and from that time she became deaf and dumb. Mr. MALTBY humanely directed Sergeant Burnett to see her home to her friends. HISTORIC FANCIES.—BY THE HON. GRORGR SYDNEY SMYTIIE, M.P.—This volume is calculated to at tract a considerable share of public attention, not merely because it exhibits great talent, and indicates a greater promise, but because it represents, in its various pages, a picture of that youthful and stirring mind which has re cently so much engaged the observation, and, in a great degree, the sympathy of the public. The charm of the . book is full of freshness and vigorous fancy. The writer has surveyed the past and present, disembarrassed of those conventionalities that are crumbling around us, and has arrived at results, which may be, in some in stances, crude, but which are always genuine. He de livers himself of his strong convictions in a style pas sionate, yet chaste and precise ; and whether he blazons the achievements of the great aristocracy of France, or celebrates the superhuman energies of the .Jacobins of Paris—whether he charge the Roundhead with the Ca tholic Cavalier, or canonize Armand Carrel in a lyric of almost unrivalled grace, we find everywhere the real feeling and language always sustaining the sentiment, as prompt, as passionate, and picturesque. The finest thing in this volume is— " The merchants of Old England, the seigneurs of the • seas.", It is really a great national strain.— Times. THE WEATHER AND CROl"S.—Easterly winds still prevail, and being accompanied, as usually happens, with a low temperature, vegetation has not for several days made much progress. The atmosphere, however, is dry, which is favourable for the wheat ; and the laud still containing a good supply of mois ture, everything wears the aspect of health. Potatoes look rather poorly, being both thin in the drills and weakly in the stem. The thinning of tur nips is, in this neighbourhood, well advanced. A good deal of hay is now in the rick, and having been put ap under favourable circumstances, will hoof excellent qua lity. The cut, however, is far from heavy ; but the second crop presents an appearance of great luxuriance, and will no doubt go far to compensate the deficiency of the main crop.—Scotsman of Saturday. EXTRA-ORDINARY FREAK OF NATURR.—ID the month of May last Mr. Rolls, under-keeper to Lord Digby, discovered, in Whitfield Wood, a p'easant's nest containing twelve eggs; about three weeks since, on examining the nest again, he found that the bird had left three of the eggs behind, and feeling a curiosity to know the reason why the eggs had not been hatched, he broke the shells, and in each egg found a young pheasant, perfect and billed, but, singular to relate, each bird had four legs and four feet. Mr. Rolls cut oil the legs, and has since preserved them. He called at our office on Saturday, when we had an opportunity of per sonally inspecting this singular natural curiosity.—Sherburne I Journal, . TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNE DAY_ EVE_NiNG, JULY 10, 1844.
