PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those annoyances, without causing tie least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies for corns, its operation is such as •to render the cutting of corns altogether unnecessary: indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre quently attended with lamentable consequences, besides its liability to increase their grnwth. It adheres with the most gentle prey-ure, producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most in- Veterate corns and bunions. EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS. From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the Aldersgate School of Medicine. Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform him that his Every Man's Friend has entirely taken away his Corns, and he has recommended it to several of his friends and patients, and in no one Instance has it failed in eradicating both Corns and Bunions. From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer, at St. ' Bartholemew's Hospital. Dr. Ley r resents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform him that his Corn Plaster has taken away his Corns. _ _ Similar Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence.

THE CROPS IN IRELAND.—We have been informed by a person who recently travelled from Dublin, and passed, on his way to this city, through parts of the counties of Meath, Louth, Cavan, Fermanagh, and Tyrone, that every where the wheat promises to be an excellent crop. Barley also looks well, but the quantity sown is very limited. Early oats, particularly that on good ground, appears well headed, and will be more than an average crop. Late sown oats, however, appear short, but thick in the ground. The early sown flax, in general, looks well, but that of late growth is likely to prove a failure. The hay crop is both thin and short, and will, in all probability, not be half so abundant as that of last season. In the potato crop, in some places, par tial misses appear; but on the whole it appears promising, especially those planted at an early period of the season. The pasture grounds have lately improved considerably, yet it must be admitted that it has been a very bad season for rass.—Derry Sentinel. (From the Times.) When the John o'Gaunt came abreast the battery, being at a distance of about a mile and a-half from shore, a Union Jack, the signal agreed upon, was hoisted on the flagstaff, to intimate to Captain Warner that he was now to destroy the ship in the wake of the Sir William Wallace, on board of which he himself was, with his implements of destruction. A short delay took place, and the Uniou Jack on the steamer's mast, which it was arranged should be hauled down previous to the destruction of the pursuing ship, was re-hoisted half mast high, to indicate, as we understood, that some obstacle was in Captain Warner's way. We have been since informed that a cutter kept hovering in the John o'Gaunt's track, in a direction very dangerous to herself, and this prevented Captain Warner's immediate operation. At last the Union Jack was fairly lowered, the steamer's head was turned somewhat towards the shore, and the devoted John o'Claunt followed in her wake. We may say without exaggeration, that the suspense of all present was painful—the silence was deep and unbroken. A smoke seemed suddenly to envelope the John o'Gaunt, her mainmast shot up perpendicular from her deck, no noise save that of the rending of timbers was heard, and on the apparent smoke's clearing away, the smitten ship heeled over to port and sank We say appa rent smoke because we have since ascertained that what we, and a majority of those present, apprehended to be smoke, was in reality displaced water sent up in a huge column into the air. A similar phenomenon was reported to have been exhibited in an, experiment performed by Captain Warner before Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, Sir Henry Hardinge, and others, in the year 1842. When the John o'Gaunt heeled over on her larboard side, we saw through a powerful telescope, and Captain Dickeson stated to us that he saw the same, through the main hatchway, the sea on the starboard side—a plain proof that the ship's star board bilge was carried away. The decks, however, were not blown up, but remained entire when the ship sank—a clear proof that the force, whatever it was, and from what ever quarter it proceeded, was external, and not from within the cavity of the ship. We notice this as a fact from which important conclusions may be drawn ; but we will not imitate the example of many around us in this scene of excitement, and hazard conjectures of our own. To this fact we can bear testimony—the swift, and sudden, and complete destruction of the ship ; and we are authorised by Lord Ingestrie and Captains Dickeson and Henderson to give their decided opinion, founded upon an examination of the vessel and the facts displayed in the course of the experiment, that the cause of destruction was exterior, and not intrinsic. The applicability of this terrific power to purposes of actual warfare must be tested by the competent and constituted authorities, but of its existence in the possession of an individual there is now such evidence that an omission on the part of Government to sift this matter thoroughly would be culpable in a high degree. We understand that since the accession of Sir Robert Peel to power various negotiations have been instituted between Captain Warner and the Government, all which have gone off or been suspended, on the ground that his experiments are too costly. We are always advocates of economy of the public money, but parsimony is sometimes the worst af economy, and whatever affects the maritime supremacy of Great Britain is of such stupendous importance, that no pecuniary consideration of an ordinary amount ought to stand in the way of a proper investigation of any matters affecting that supremacy. When Captain Warner a few years ago announced that he could send a line• of-battle ship or a whole fleet to perdition in a moment, annihilate a castle, a fort, or a town, with equal fulminis opera cunt," s a id th ey, b ut rea ll y l e o as ng e i a ao n w d . exp , el n it r io n n, the public thought h e was d raw i ng t h e this is too great a demand upon our credulity. Thereupon Captain Warner was compelled to make a demonstration of the destructive power of hie " invisible shell," or bottled lightning, but his experiments being conducted before few witnesses, and though successful, somewh a t i nvo l ve d i n mystery, found the public mind to a great extent inacces sible to conviction. Sir R. Peel,indeed, having witnessed the tearing to pieces of a ,strong boat filled up with timber, at Wanstead, in the spring of 1842, went so far as to say that Captain Warner certainly did possess a fearful p owe r o f the easy and practical applicability of whi c h h e required fur ther proof. It will be recollected, that shortly after the present Premier came into office, a commission was ap- Wpointed to investigate and report upon the mer it o f C ap t a i n Warner's discovery. That commission consisted origin ally of Admiral Sir Byam Martin and Admiral Sir Edward Oweii ; bat the latter being ordered to the Mediter• ranean, Sir H. Douglas was appointed in his stead. Some contrariety of opinion led to the retirement of both these commissioners, and they were succeeded by Colonel Chalmer and Captain Caffin. Meantime Captain Warner had urges' upon the Government the purchase of his secret, and offered to exhibit its effects on a large scale, if the GOvernnient would defray the expense. He was then requested to send in an estimate of the expense, which he did, but the Go vernment offered no more than one-fourth of the required sum, and the intended, demonstration was th ere f ore no t made. No more was heard of the matter, and people put the " itiVisibie shell'' as beings hea.otid Ft doubt, in sseploded affair, until the fact was reported that a London shipowner had presented Captain Warner with a large vessel with a polite request that he would do him the favour to blow her to atoms if he could. John o'Gaunt was the the name of the devoted ship She was a barque of 900 tons burden, three-masted, tall, full. bowed, strong, and seaworthy. She had recently returners from the Levant, whither she had been with Government stores, and was, it was said, to have gone out again on a similar errand. By direction of Mr. Somes, the donor, she was given up to Captain Warner in the early part of the present mouth, and on the 10th instant sailed from the Thames, but on her arrival at Gravesend, the crew having learned her destination, most of them deserted, under an ap prehension that they might share her fate. After some delay, other men were procured, and she was piloted for Brighton, where, as will be recollected, it was announced that she was to be blown up on Saturday, the 13th instant, and several noblemen, officers and gentlemen proceeded thither on that, day only to be disappointed, an adYerse wind having Compelled het to anchor In the Downs. This eir , cumstance revived. public distrust to a certain extent, atid many persons who had come from London returned with a lurking suspicion that they had been hoaxed, and that such was the only way in which the "invisible shell" would ever go off. On WOdnesclay last, hoWeter, the John oidatint was towed by a steamer to Shoreham-roads, off Brightoti, and moored there, the knowledge of which fact, and the renewed assurances of Captain Warner that he would fulfil his pro mise, excited the public curiosity afresh, and on Saturday, be at Brighton. The beach, th e c liff s , the houses fitting the the day appointedf or th e explosions all the world seemed to sea, the chain pier, the steine, in tact the *hole range of the coast from Shoreham to the upper 'extremity of Brighton, soon after noon presented a truly gay and animated appear ance, being lined with crowds of persons, who were flanked by a row of carriages and other vehicles. There was an at tractive attendance of ladies, whose generally fashionable attire, as they were seated at the windows and in the coaches, coupled with the elegant equipages interspersed, greatly en livened the scene ; an d the weather was extremely fine. Among other disting u i s h ed persons present were, Earl Man. vers, Lord Brougham, Lord Comberwere, Viscount Ingestre, P. ; Lord s R owf a pi eor Marquis of Douro, Lord J. Beresf or d, at Ord Southampton, Marquis of Exeter, Lorne, Lord Alf or d, M.P. ; L or d H unger f or d, t3hie.

The battery, which is' about the centre of the steine, was the grand position ; there most of the elite of the nobles, pro fessionals, and fashionables took up their position ; and it was curious to observe them leaning across the long guns, with their telescopes pointed towards Shoreham roads, where the devoted barque was lying, and whither two steamers, the Sir William Wallace (on board of which was Captain Warner) and the Tees had gone. It was expected that the explosion would take place at three o'clock,but it didnot until three hours after that time, and the delay produced considerable dissatisfac tion, and doubts were audibly expressed that, after all, there would be no explosion but of popular fury. More than an hour was passed in the removing from the ship cordage and other stores which were not necessary for the experiment, and in raising and detaching the anchor and cables. This was a slow process, and unintelligible to the majority of the s p e ctators, who resolutely held up th e i r g l asses, which gleamed in the sunshine like files of musket ry , unt il t h ey fatigued, a nd impatiently wond ered what in the world and his people co u ld b e about. Lerd expressed his suspi c i on t h at t h e affair would end in nothing but smoke, and the re wou ld b e Brougham became Captain I v undiscuisaY no explosion. "You never intended to do it," said he to one of Captain Warners friends. "is it not extraordinary," he asked, " that with a fair wind and two steam-boats, they cannot bring the ship up that short distance?" But every one is not so rapid in his movements as the Noble and Learned was only giving u tt erance to the general who, ere it must be admitted, 1 feeling. But the fact was that th ere were no t bands enough employed to do the work quickly. Lord 14 Brougham said he should g o, and he would have gone, but just then Lord Ingestre called out th at the ship was in mo tion. This was about fiv e o'clock ; but the tow-line had not gen yet been attached, and the vessel swung round and was movement afterwards, however, her retrograde was observed drifting away with the tide towards Shoreham. Shortly to receive a check, and the immediate appearance of a rope reaching from her bow to t h e S i r William Wallace, which was ahead, indicated that a t last her tardiness in going to the place of execution would be overcome. Meanwhile some of the few men who had been left in charge of her descended into a boat and rowed off, as if for their lives, to the Tees, which followed astern for the purpose of keeping off any persons who might be influe nced b y their curiosity to come within range of danger. The tide, as is o b v i ous from what was said before of her drifting, was against her, and the distance she was to be brought betw een four and five miles, so that it was nearly six o'clock before she was fairly towed to the position she was to occupy, about a mile and a ill n u a r r g i e e d he e r e h t e e l f m b , e o r r , a d n o d a n w y e t e h t m e g ff e i l n s e a t h b a e t e tmwi with quarter from the battery.

The Sir William Wallace having let go the tow line returned abreast of the John o' Gaunt for a few moments, but for what purpose we could not 3iseover ;" she than took up her position about a quartei of a mile ahead of the ship, while the Tees went rather fur ther astern. Captain Warner's signal had been flying some time before it was anwered &eta the battery, and then arose another delay in consequence of some adventurous persons in a small cutter, in spite of the presence of the Tees, and of two armed revenue cutters besides, to keep off intruders, going close alongside the ship. Captain Warner hauled the Union Jack half-way down only until the cutter and its fool hardy occupants were out of danger. The Union Jack was then hauled down entirely. Every one now felt that the grand crisis had arrived. Every eye was directed towards the scene otoperations, and in less than five minutes after wards the explosion took place. The instrument of destruc tion, whatever It was, seemed to strike the vessel midships, for, from that point a huge column of water, in which was intermingled some of the shingle of which her ballast was composed, shot up perpendicularly into the air higher than her highest topmast; her miaen went by the board, her main mast, a new one, was shot clean out of her like a rocket ; she heeled over to port to an angle of 45 degrees, and her main hatchway Wog open, daylight was visible through her bot tom timbers on her starboard side, and probably her loarboard also, having been blown away, and she seemed to part asun der as she went down, leaving nothing perceptible but the top oilier foremast. The time which passed from her being struck and her sinking could not have exceeded two mi nutes and a half. some few of the more enthusiastic spec tators, chiefly professional men, raised a cheer, but with the mass all was mute astonishment. The eyes were rivetted on the last observable fragment of the large object that but the moment before floated gallantly on the waters ",like a thing of life." The expression on the countenances of the multitude generally seemed td ssty--What was it? An illusion? A dream ? A magical trick ? A work of destruction so sudden, so frightful, so stupendous, aopeaftd inipossible for a moment even to the thousand and tens of thousands that witnessed it. It was like an awful mystery. There were none of the ordi nary circumstances which accompany similar catastrophes. There was no smoke, there was no fire, there was no noise, save the low groan of the rending timbers, and the sucig'.9d ing hush of the waters as they rolled over the instantaneous wreck, and then arose a melancholy feeling, for it was im possible to prevent the imagination depicting the terrific effects of such an explosion on a peopled ship, thus silently and suddenly perishing. To convey the effect in words is difficult—extremely difficult. Language is inadequate for the description ; it cannot flow fast enough, and a single sen tence is too long to tell the tale. It was like a dissolving view. At one instant you see the tall ship riding proudly on the waves ; at the next she is enveloped in the elements of her perdition ; another moment only, and her shattered limbs are engulfed in the deep I Many a one loitered on the shore pondering over; a sight more wonderful than any they had beheld before, however strange. It was the only topic of conversation with high and low, gentle and rude. Several persons went off in boats, to have a closer inspection of the grave of the luckless vessel. The boatmen picked up fragments of the debris, which they hawked about the town, and sold as relics to the curious. During the night the greater portion of the wreck was car ried away, and on the following morning nothing could be seen but the foremast standing a little above the water, the only monument of the lost ship. The depth of the water where she sunk was about 35 feet. So far then as the destruction of the vessel is concerned, the experiment was completely successful. The object of Capt. Warner was to show that, if chased by another ship, he had it in his power at any time he chose to annihilate his enemy, suddenly, at once, and without any warning. But the question was asked, and will be asked oft every hand, " How was it done ?" A very natural question, but not alto gether a very just one, for if Capt. Warner disclose his secret h ewill go profitless. But still the question to a certain ex tent might be answered. • Of course the nature of the compo sition is not expected to be revealed without a competent reward ; but is it necessary that no one should see the ex ternal form of this "infernal machine," nor the mode of put ting it into operation ? Where there is much mystery there is generally_ a proportionate degree of mistrust ; and this feel- in 1 has already operated to the prejudice of Capt. Warner. The answer, however, which he gives to all such questions is, "That is part of my secret, and therefore I . cannot tell you anything at all about it." No doubt he has confided his secret to some of those friends who so zealously encourage and assist him ; if so, that is a fact in his favour. But after the surprise produced by his experiment of Saturday last has subsided there will be many suspicions and conjectures afloat. Even on the same day and on the spot they were pretty rife. Some persons wished to go on board the John o'Gaunt previous to her destruction to inspect her, in order to satisfy themselves and others that there was no magazine concealed in her. They .were not permitted ; the answer was, that if one were permitted ten would desire the same favour; and if ten, a thousand ; that would be most inconvenient. Again, It was said, " Were you to go, you might come away as wise as you Went; •for, Wattle agent of destruction 'Zile hidden in the ship, it might be finder the ballast, or in M.fty places, of which• you and a hundred other persons would never dream." But the experiment itself is esteemed by the Captain's friends as thebest answer, for say they, the agent of destruction was palpablyNiplied.e4ternally ; had there been a magazine on board or within her, the effects would have been very different, and het deck Would have been blown up, which was not the case ; her deck did not burst until she was sinking, and then in the usual manner when ships are suddenly aubmerifed. * Some persons conjectured that the instrument of adstruc _ tion was conveyed from the steamer to the ship by means of a rope. We used a strong telescope, but saw no rope but the tow .line, which 1 4 /hen let go hung loosely over her lar board bow. Others thought that the agent being attached to a line was suffered to float with the tide against the ship, and that then the line being pulled let off a trigger and pro duced the explosion. More scientific individuals imagine an electrical battery to have been used ; others, an air-gun ; others, that d substance is put to float without any guide on the water ; others, that a submarine shell is sent in the direction of the ship's bottom. But though every body was watching, - and watching narrowly, with all the aid that optical instruments could afford them, the mode of operation is, we believe, still as profound a secret to the world as before this public experiment. We believe Captain Caflin . was in one of the reyenue cutters, yet he was unsatisfied. Captain Warner was asked to permit a few gentlemen to be-with him on board the steam-boat ; but, for the reason before stated, he declined. Even the crew of the steamer were all sent below before he began to operate, and kept there until the explosion took place. It is useless, therefore, to attempt to tell what we do not kttot, nue thing is clear—Captain Warner is in pos session of a marvellous efigin of destruction ; and though it may be regarded by some persons it! a horrible invention, if it become known it may be taken as a harbinger of uni versal peace. • A war carried on. with such agency would be intiged a war. of extermination—a war of extermination to both parties, and therefore useless. Of necessity, then, men would appeal to reason and not to violence. • Captain Warner received the congratulations, personally, on Saturday evening of Lord Brougham, gild the other no blemen and officers who remained in Brighton ; and Mr. &titles, who says he fully expected that Captain Warner vrtrtild destroy his ship when he gave it to him, has ex pressed his willingness to give him another for the further proof of the Captain's powes, if the Government are not now satisfied, or will not provide one to satisfy themselves. ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.-WINDSOR, SUN.' DAY.--The Hon. Charles Augustus Murray, the Master of the Household, having on the part of the Crown, in order to prevent a lengthened imprisonment of the accused before trial, consented to the prisoner charged with stealing a solid silver scroll (part of a table which was presented to William 111. by the corporation of the City of London) taking her trial at the Borough Quarter Sessions, the prisoner, Elizabeth Blandy, whose examination appeared in our paper of Saturday, was yesterday tried for the offence before the Honourable John C. Talbot, the Recorder of the - Borough. It will be recol lected it was stated in our report of the examination of the prisoner hefore the Windsor Magistrates, that Mr. Ironies, the. Crown solicitor, prayed that the prisoner might be re manded over the sessions, in order that the person who tied up the property stolen in the paper parcel, and affixed it to theleg of the table to which it belonged, might be ascer tained and produced. The evidence to fix the offence upon the prisoner was of a precisely similar character to that which was adduced before the Magistrates upon her committal for trial, and which we gave on Saturday. Upon the conclusion of the evidence a powerful address was made to the jury on behalf of the prisoner by her counsel, dwelling principally on the fact of her previous good character, and that no evi dence had been produced to prove that the paper parcel which was affixed to the silver table in the stores at the time the prisoner was engaged in March last in scouring out the room contained the identical piece of silver found in the prisoner's possession, and which she still maintained she had found in the streets of Windsor. Mr. Williams, after alluding to the circumstance that while she was employed in scrub bing the room, from which the piece of silver had been ab stracted, several persons were in and out, concluded by earnestly praying the jury to give his client the benefit of any doubt -which might remain upon their minds as to her guilt or innocence ; for, notwithstanding there might appear to be a clear case of strong suspicion, yet there was not a tittle of evidence to show that she ha d become guiltily pos sessed of the p.roperty. The Recorder, who summed up at great length, dwelt particularly upon the absence of any evi dence to prove that the parcel which was affixed to the silver table in the stores in March last (at the time the prisoner was employed in scouring out the room) contained the same piece of silver named in the indictment. If, said the Learned Recorder, the , person who tied up the piece of silver in the paper could be produced, to prove that it was the same piece the prisoner N charged with stealing, and also prove that it was safe in the room on the day the prisoner was employed at the stores, then it would clearly contradict the statement made by the accused that she had found it in Thames-street as long since as December or January last. The jury, after having consulted together for several minutes, returned a verdict of Acquittal, and the prisoner was discharged. The Court was extremely crowded during the trial. The Hon. Mr. Murray sat on the bench on the right of the Recorder. SINGULAR DETECTION OF A DESERTER.—On Friday morning, a deserter from the Ist Dragoon Guards, quartered in Canterbury, was brought before the magistrates at Rochester, by Sergeant Johnson, of the 94th Foot, stationed on the look out service, between Chatham and Gravesend, by whom he was apprehended in the following singular manner :—The sergeant met the prisoner at Shorne, about four miles from Chatham this morning, dressed in plain clothes, but suspected from his walk that he was a soldier. Johnson stopped him, but he denied he was a soldier, and submitted to be searched. Nothing was found upon him to strengthen the impression, when the sergeant caught sight of his boots, and in examin ing them closely, found that they had recently had new heels on, but a hole where a spur had been worn was partially open. Johnson then took the prisoner into custody, who confessed that he was a deserter from the Ist Dragoon Guards. He was in trouble for some offence, and broke out of the barracks at two o'clock on the morning of Wednesday; he had cut off the heels of his military boots, but not quite high enough, and having got fresh ones put on at Ashford, was making the best of his way to London. The prisoner was committed to Maidstone gaol until claimed by his regiment. BERLIN, JULY 17. —Intelligence has been received here from Kissingen, that his Serene Highness Prince Albert, who has gone there for the benefit of the waters, has been suddenly taken ' 1, and some appre h en s ions were felt that the disorder wou ',r,,oye to be an inflammatory fever. Th are eCentlomamaviosusrtiv:,4 of Metropolitan Improve meatsis said, to effect arrangements with the proprietors of the ri - - er frontage between Vauxhall and Battersea bridges, for the construction of an embankment and roadway which shall connect the two, and afford the public an uninterrupted road by the river side of about two miles in extent. Yesterday the annual meeting of the Proprietors of this theatre was held in the saloon. A large number of Proprietors were present, and the. Earl of Glengall was voted to the Chair. The Noble Earl was supported by Major Naylor, Captain Spencer, Captain Grover, Mr. Ramsbottom, M.P. ; Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Mr. Gregory, Mr. George Robins, Mr. Grenfell, and other gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN, after some introductory remarks, called on the Secretary, Mr. Dunn, to read the report. It was as follows : " After the failure of the last lesseeship, and the heavy loises which thereby immediately fell, not only on Mr. Macready, as stated by himself, but through him also on the Company of Proprietors during the two years when the theatre was managed by that gentleman (a failure which necessarily deprived the Committee of the means of meeting engagements which they would will ingly have kept with the various parties connected with this property), it is cheering to turn to the success which has attended the efforts of the present management during the past season. "'The Committee have, therefore, the satisfaction to announce to the assembly, that almost all. the difficultie's under which the property laboured last year have dis appeared, and that the debts owing at that period, if not altogether discharged, are, at least, placed in such a train of liquidation, as that no doubt is entertained by the Committee of their being shortly extinguished, as far, at least, as the annual current expenses are coticerned. " It has, however, been no ordinary task to bring about this favourable result under the present state of Public taste, and at a period when every species of D ie ,..rical property and enterprise have declined so much in value ah 2 public estimation. Nevertheless the lessee has, throughout e season, so m a nage d, as e ff ectua ll y to meet the supposed alteZAtion in the theatrical taste of the times. " Mr. Bunn has, therefore, of neeea ity directed his main efforts so as to render music and native talent, as far as possible, subservient to the purpose of s,3euring the applause of the public. This he has ultiMatei7 achieved, but in order fully to accomplish his object be has been also obliged to resort to the costly assistance of some celebrated artistes which the Continent could supply. " The Committee have to state that the conditions sti pulated to be performed by the lessee under the agree ment with the Committee have been strictly fulfilled, and the reports from the several departments throughout the theatre represent the value of the stock as having been kept up to a corresponding amount with the period at which Mr. Bunn commenced his undertaking. An in ventory of the furniture, fixtures, and scenery, of the theatre has been made by Mr. Beazley, the architect ; the advantage of which is so obvious, and the doc umen t on reference to it will, upon that point, speak for itself. At the same time, the larger sum of money which was allowed Mr. Macready from the funds of the proprietory during the last lesseeship, in addition to his own outlay upon his stage management, ought, the Committee thinks, to have left the theatre in a much better working condition than it was found to be by Mr. Bunn, when he entered upon the theatre at the close of Mr. Macready's management. " The Committee have now to call the attention of the assembly to the annual statement of the accounts, which have been regularly audited by Major Naylor. The favourable result of the last season has induced the Committee to conclude an' agreement for a fur ther term of three years with Mr. Bunn, determinable, at the option of either party, at the end of the first; and they trust that, with the renewed exertions of the les see, a still more favourable season may be anticipated in that which is to come." The--financial statement appended to the report gives the gross amount of the receipts of the year at 4,960/. 4s. ; the expenditure less by 596/. It was further stated that the Proprietors had paid the Renters' trus tees the sum of 1,2851 at the rate of 51 per night (243 nights) in conformity with the agreement made in 1841. _ report having been confirmed, Mr. GEORGE ROBINS moved a ibte - bf. thanks t w o the' Sub-Committee of the last year., .To their c'xertions were the Proprietors iiidekted thittlfe house kid! been opened ltt,Jll. Who . they saw 'that Covent-garden Theatre c - o'fild not gr4t a tenant at any price, and re flected that Drury-lane had been fortunate in obtaining a tenant who had paid every penny of his rent, he (Mr. Robins) thought the thanks of the Proprietory were eminently due to the gentlemen of the Sub-Committee. Mr. Bunn had been secured for a term of three years longer—a circumstance which added to the obligations already incurred on the part of the Proprietors to the Sub-Committee. So bright a prospect had not presented itself for many years.—(Hear, hear.) Captain GROVER had much pleasure in seconding the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. The Earl of GLENGALL, in returning thanks, was desirous of making one or two remarks on the present position of affairs. The report had doubtless been in a very high degree satisfactory to the Proprietary, and he thought Mr. Bunn deserved all the eulogiuui that could be passed on him.—(Cheers.) It would be remem bered that last year they were in a most perilous position. The theatre had been given up to them in a most un expected manner, and had placed the Proprietors in a most serious predicament. The arrangements made with the late lessee rendered the fulfilment of it on his part a matter of honour. All the facts, however, connected with the sudden termination of his connexion with the theatre had been placed before the public, who would judge of the merits of the case in a fair and impartial manner. When that circumstance occurred, London had to be searched from one end to the other for a tenant, and, after the lapse of some time, Mr. Bunn undertook the lesseeship. At that time not an actor was engaged, nor had one single ar rangement been made for the commencement of the season. Difficulties were, eventually, surmounted, and the public at once showed their appreciation of Mr. Bunn's management, for, during the last season, a larger number of persons had visited the theatre than during any season since the palmy days of Kean.—(Cheers.) Considerable sums of money had, consequently, been re ceived by the lessee) but as his arrangements at the outset had to be rapidly formed, his expenses had been greater than in all probability they would be during the next year. With all his success, therefore, only the minimum amount of rent agreed upon had been paid. The Noble Earl, in conclusion, expressed a hope that the Proprietors and Renters would be placed on a more equit able footing. Under the present arrangement, a great disproportion existed, but it was to be hoped that, by the exertions of Mr. Robins and other gentlemen, some other arrangement might be effected.—(Hear, hear.) On this subject a long discussion took place, after which Mr. SAMUEL WELLS, the Common Councilman, re quested permission to propose a resolution. They had met that day under somewhat more joyous circum stances than usual, attributable, he believed, to Mr. Bunn's admirable management of the theatre. With the permission of the assembly he (Mr. Wells) would move the following resolution :—" That the cordial thanks of the Proprietors be given to Alfred Bunn, Esq., `for the great judgment, unwearied perseverance, and disinte rested zeal he has displayed i n the management of the theatre." Mr. RiummoTTom, M.P., fully concurred in the ob servations which had fallen from Mr. Wells, and in the resolution he had proposed. He would second it heartily. A Sub-Committee having been -- Oosen, thanks were voted to the Noble Chairman, who'briefly acknowledged the compliment. Thanks were also voted to Major Naylor for auditing the accounts. The name of the Duke of Leinster was added to the general Committee, and the meeting then dispersed. HORRIBLE CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.— Considerable excitement has prevailed in Stockport (and particularly amongst the congregation worshipping at St. I'eter's church) during the last week, in consequence of a report being currently , circulated that the Rev. R. H. Cres well, incumbent of St. Peter's church, had been guilty of a most horrible and unnatural offence. This report, we are sorry to say, is not without foundation, the rev. delinquent having been apprehended on the charge under a warrant issued by the sitting magistrates on Wednesday last. Cir cumstances attendin ,, the charge having previously come to the knowledge of Mr. Sadler, superintendent of police, he instituted inquiries into the circumstances from a youth named James Booth, about fifteen years of age, a servant of Mr. Cresswell's, from the clerk of the church, and other per sons, who corroborated the statement made by Booth, and left no doubt in the superintendent's mind of the truth of the ewarrant. r r in a n t. report. He accordingly represented the circumstances to the town clerk, who made them known to the magistrates on Wednesday, who the hisfor appearance however, thereupon granted a warrant for Mr. Cress well's w el l' s app re hen si on. company Mr. Cresswell being ill in bed, and Mr. Downs , his surgeon, certifying that he was labouring under an affection of the brain, and not in a fit state to be removed , police - officer Wal ters was left in the house to take charge of him. Subse quently,na t S h t . Pl Peter's iceO ffin church,cether Walters, went to the parsonage house same and afternoon executed M t r. h. Sadler, on Wednesday next. Mr. Cresswell , we understand, -has a wife and seven children, who reside with him at the parson age.—Times. to bail answerto the amount charge of l a , to oO t h / wa s accep t ed Court -house age.—Times. It appears from a local paper, that Mr. Locke and Mr. Chaplin " are al this moment engaged in examining into the facilities and requirements of the line of country, with a view to the extension of the Basingstoke and Salisbury branch to Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Y eov il , &c , embracing the county of Dorset to Dorchester an d the .coast. We are (adds our contemporary) , moreover, auth or i se d t o state that a line will be immediately carried out from Bishopstoke to Chichester, via Portsmouth, by which means a'continuous communication will be established with Brighton and the south-eastern parts ofEngland." INCENBIARISIII.—[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]-1 saw some remarks in The Sun of Saturday on the subject of incendiarism amongst the farmers' property. There is one practice carried on upon every farm which cannot be too stile-bod i ed carried single g m en mer s fr h o a m ve t w long en be t e o n fi hi ft y the per e habit t. o l f e as much deprecated, and so l ong as i t i s pers i sted i n, f i res, as the only means of revenge w ithi n t h e labourers ' power, will be payingthan they s pay married men with families for the same labour. This is net done by stealth ; the farmers defend the practice in public, while the hungry, strong fellows of eighteen to twenty or three-and-twenty, have both sense and fading to see the injustice, and both they and their companions are filled with burning indignation. FLAG I'EOMOTION IN TILE ROYAL NAvy.—On a casual re ference to the navy lists of 1841 and 1844, we find that there is exactly the same number of flag-officers in the list as there was in 1841, previous to the November promotion in /honour of the birth of the Prince of Wales. The numbers "stand thus September, 1841. July, 1844. Admirals .28 I Admirals. 37 Vice-Admirals Rear• Admirals 94 • 175 J 175 Thus it will be seen that a number, amounting to that of the whole of the Captains promoted in 1841 (40) have died since that time. • The Admiral of the Fleet was a Post Cap tem in 1780, and the junior flag-officer on the list attained the rank of Captain in 1807—the former 64 years, and the latter nearly 37 years since. In Harbour—Excellent, Victory, Camperdown, Fearleis, Echo, and Rodney. In Dock—Victoria and Albert, Prince Regent, Queen, Wanderer, &C. At Spithead--Collingvrood. D Evom .ouT, JULY 19.—The flag of Admiral Sir David Commander-in-Chief; was shifted on Satur day from the Sylph to the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowl 7 , until the return of the Caledonia, when the St. Vincent will return to Portsmouth, and equip for flag service in the Medi terranean. The Firefly steam-vessel, Captain W. F. Beechy, arrived from Woolwich on Monday : she received two months' ad - vance wages, and sailed on Tuesday for surveying service on the coast of Ireland. The Superb, 80, was docked on Tuesday, to have her copper examined, prior to going into ordinary. Captain Brandreth, ILE., paid an official visit to this yard this week, and consequently the works of the new steam basin will shortly be commenced. In Harb - our—San Josef and Confiance. In Dock—Kent, Ranger, and Actteon. In the Sound—St. Vincent. SHEERNESS, JULY 19.—The Monarch, 84, and Herald, 26, are to be brought forward for commissien forthwith. • The Ocean, 80, Captain Peter Fisher, flag-ship, pro tem., of Vice-Admiral Sir J. C. White, Commander-in• Chief, was paid six months' advance on Thursday. The Amazon, 44, only wants her masts aboard to be ready fur the pendant. . _ The Speedwell, tender to the Blazer, is in dock having her bottom cleaned and coppered, the marine glue with which she was sized about four months since having proved a failure as a substitute for copper in keeping clean and free from animal and vegetable excrescences the bottoms of the vessels to which it has been applied. Captain Superintendent Peter Fisher went on survey on Wednesday. The Vernon, 50, is repairing in dock. In Harbour—Ocean and Africain. In the Basin—Amazon, Vulture, and Crocodile. In Dock—Vernon, Monartb, Herald, and Cameleon. At the Nore—Apollo. APPOINTMENTS. Captain—John Bowker (1811) to Greenwich Hospital, vice root,' deceased. Lieutenanta-4. G.

DUBLIN, JULY 20.—The following communication has been, received by the Lord Mayor from Mr. Pennefather, the chief clerk in the Secretary's office : " Dublin Castle, July 19, 1844. "My Lord,—l have the honour, by command of the Lords Justices, to transmit to your Lordship a copy of a communi; cation which I have this day received from Col. Bowles,' Comptroller of the Household to Lord Heytesbury, and to • acquaint your Lordship that early intimation of his Lord ship's arrival at Kingstown shall be forwarded to you, and also at the hour at which his Lordship may be expected to. arrive in the city of Dublin, on the 26th inst.—l have the ho-,- nour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient humble servant, "RICHARD PENNEFATHER. "Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The letter of Col. Bowles is subjoined : "Castle, Dublin, July 19, 1844. " Sir —I have the honour to acquaint you, that I have this' morning received from Lord Heytesbury an intimation of hiss intention to embark at Liverpool on Thursday evening, the -- 25th inst., and he may therefore be expected to reach Dublin: early on the 26th inst.—l have, &c., "The Under-Secretary : " " G. BOWLES. THE MUNICIPAL DECLARATION. A second supplementary list has been signed, containing considerably more than one hundred names of members of . various corporations. The original declaration—that truly important demonstration of public opinion, resulting from • the State trials and the incarceration of Mr. O'Connell—is now signed by upwards of four hundred and fifty elected re presentatives of the people in the cities and towns of Ireland. , The following startling interrogatories appear in the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon :—" Is it possible, after the Corporation desiring a copy of the report of the Commis sioners on the subject, for the information of the citizens at large, that a contract for thirteen years, to commence two years hence, has been entered into for lighting th e c ity o f Dublin, with the old Company, and at the old and enormous rate of charge? Is it, we repeat, possible that the Govern ment can have perpetrated so monstrous a job, in favour of an English Company, leaving the citizens of Dublin, who are to pay for it, utterly ignorant of their proceedings? W. trust that Lord Eliot will at once be questioned on this sub ject in the House of Commons." MURDER OF LORD NORBURY. . _ Peter Dolan, labourer, aged 35, charged with the murder of Lord .Norbury, was put upon his trial on Thursday. There . were eleven Protestants and one Quaker on the jury. The, chief witnesses were an approver named Day, and his wife, but the testimony of the former on the table differed r materially from the informations which he swore before- Captain Vignoles. On the table he swore that he saw Dolan; and knew him immediately the shot was fired, whilst in the - first instance he deposed that he never saw him until he was attracted by the shot. The approver's wife was brought forward to prove the conspiracy. Amongst the witnesses for the defence was Peter Day, a brother ,pf the approver, who impugned his charActer, and stated tliat he himself had subscribed towards defraying the expenses of Dolan's defence. At a quarter to twelve his Lordship' (Judge Crampton) charged the jury, who, after an absence of half an hour, re- I turned a verdict of Not Guilty. Lord and Lady Charleville cat upon the bench during the trial, and remained till the announcement of the verdict, which seemed to be received with surprise by the Noble Lord and some members of the squirearchy of the county. Dolan and Gill (the latter charged with the conspiracy) were then discharged ; the charge against both resting cattle same testimony. There was a large crowd of country people in the streets, even at that advanced hour, who hailed the result with sup pressed -' cheers. This trial has given great satisfaction to the - people, who, without a single exception, believed Dobn and • Gill to be perfectly innocent. This mysterious murder is as ' little likely to be brought to light now as ever. Rumours are afloat against an individual, whose wife is stated to have been on too intimate terms with the unfortunate deceased, but regarding whom it would not be fair to state further , than that he is not in the grade of the peasantry. Be the perpetrator who he may, the mystery in which the murder is shrouded, proves that but one person has been engaged in it. TRIAL OF OGLE. Ogle, the policeman ' charged with attempting to suborn a man named Thomas Johnson, to swear: that he had begn ' sworn in a Ribbonman, by a person named Dl'Laughlin, 1 lying at the time in Tullamore gaol, charged with having had Ribbon documents in his possession, was acquitted on Thursday at these (the King's County) assizes. 'There was 2 another indictment against him for instigating a woman named Bridget Mullany, to set fire to a house, and to swear against certain parties as the perpetrators. The Crown 1 withdrew this charge, although at the time the informations were sworn against Ogle, the evidence against him was ex ceedingly strong. How TO SERVE A POOR FRIEND.—If your friend is ;. in want, don't carry him to the tavern where you treat yourself as well as him, and entail upon him a thirst and an headache next morning. To treat a poor wretch with a s. bottle of burgundy, or fill his snuff-box, is like giving a pair of ruffles to a man• without a shirt to his back. Put some thing in his pocket.—Tom Brown.
