After the usual letter from the Noble Chancellor, nominating the Warden of Wadham College, had been read, the Rev.

BANKRUPTS. _ T iIE MURDER AT CAMBERWELL. On Friday afternoon an inquiry of some hours duration took place at the Swan Inn, Park-road, Camberwell, before William Carter, Esq., coroner for Surrey, on view of the body of Benja min Booth, aged 45 years, a plasterer, whose death had been oc casioned oy a brutul attack made upon him, whilst in a defenceless state, by a man named John Welsh, a fellow.lodger, who has since absconded. John Jarvis, carpenter, deposed that he lodged with Mr. Ma. thews, No. 1, Malpas-street, Peckham New Town, Camberwell. Deceased and a man named Welsh also lived there. Welsh had been away for about a month, until Sunday last, when he returnef. They (deceased and Welsh) used to occupy the same bed, and with witness all slept in the same room. On Sunday night they went to bed as usual. Nothing then passed between them of an angry nature. On the following morning - Welch got up first (about half.. past five o'clock), and after he had dressed himself, he said to de ceased," Why don't you get up, Booth, and not lie there and lose your time ?" Deceased replied, " You be -, I don't want you to be troubling me at all You had no business here. The last time you slept wiih me my money fell out of my pocket, and you (Welsh) gathered it up and kept Is. 6d. or 2s. out of it." Welsh upon this became much exasperated, and angry words passed be. tween them. Welsh then left the room for a minute, and on his return said to deceased, "Do you still persist that I had your money ?" Deceased replied, " Yes ;'' upon which Welsh retorted, " I'll pay it out of you," and instantly left the room. In less than a minute he returned with a tailor's sleeve.board in his hand, and, rushing at deceased, struck him several blows on the head with it whilst he was in a half sitting position in bed. Deceased cried out, " Oh, Welch, don't hit me any more." Welch appeared to strike as hard as he could. Witness imme diately jumped out of bed and endeavoured to get hold of Welch, but before he could accomplish it he had struck deceased two slighter blows on the back. A man named Luney then came into the room, and who wrenched the sleeve-board from him. Witness afterwards went to work, and Welch accompanied him a short &stance on the road, when they parted, he saying he should go to New cross Railway station to seek employment. Witness had not seen him since. On their way, Welch said he was sorry for what he had done. Job Elliott, smith, Beer-lane, City, to surrender Oct. 18.

W INDSOK ELECTION. The adiress of Colonel Reid, of the 2d Life Guards, now quartered at Windsor, who is the second candidate in the field for the representation of the borough, in consequence of Mr. Ramsbottom's decease, was issued on Thursday morning. It is openly stated that the colonel comes forward under the auspices of the Government, and with the support of what is termed " the Castle interest." Lord Francis Egerton intends to commence the rebuilding of Bridgwater.house, which was some time since razed to the ground, early in the ensuing year. The original designs for the new mansion are by the Hon. Thomas Liddell, son of Lord Ravens wor th. ISLE Of WIGHT RAILWAY.—On the 29th Ult. a surveyor and assistants entered on the land of Mr. G. H. Ward, near Cowes, for the purpose of taking levels, kc.„ and were immediately warned off. Another attempt was made in the afternoon, when the party were met by Mr. Ward's land steward and six men, prepared to dispute the right. The surveyor again retired, and afterwards waited on Mr. Ward, hoping to induce that gentleman to allow him to take the levels, tc., as he had been stated not to be opposed to a railway through BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS. (FROM It CORRESPONDENT.) It will be recollected that in April last the cases of Thomas La kin and Ann Ward, were brought by petition before both Houses of Parliament. It appeared that having been unable to pay a poor's rate, and having no sufficient goods and chattels. they were impri soned in Leicester county gaol till the rate should be paid. It was paid by a charitable gentleman. They were then sent to the House of Correction for one month to hard labour, for inability to pay the costs, and having, as before, nothing on which a distress could be levied. " his lands, and the first five miles must be through them; but he was again unsuccessful. Mr. W. declared it to be his opinion that a railway was not required in the island, there could be no traffic, and it was opposed by almost the entire of the landed proprietors of the island. They had reckoned on Mr. W. not opposing the project, but he now declared be would to the utmost of his power, •••• • ••••••• Thomas Lakin has now heen subjected to another levy, which he is again unable to pay. A distress warrant is issued with the same result as before. He is summoned before the Bench of Magistrates, and committed to the county gaol, as before, for an indefinite pe riod, till the rate, amounting to 55. 4d.,. is Nid, with the prospect of another month of hard labour for the costs. This is a poor man of excellent character, as attested in writing by hi s employers and others. His wages fur the last eleven we e ks (taken from the pay master's weekly tickets) average 95. Bd. pe r wee k. The rent of the cottage (the little furniture of which b e l ongs to his landlord), is Is. 6d., leaving about Bs. to support himself, his wife, and four children, the eldest eleven years old an d bli n d , a nd the youngest barely twelve months I By going to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch bench, as summoned a week or two a go , h e i ncur red a loss of four shillings, and the fees then charged an d or d ere d by t h e magistrates were five shillings for the magistr a t e ' s c l er k, an d one shilling and sixpence for the constable ; so that, d ou b t l ess w hen the hand of charity releases him from his fi rs t an d i ndef i n i te i m prisonment. he will, as before, be charged some t wenty or thi r ty shillings costs, and sent for a month among felons at the treadmill for inability to pay that amount. On the former occasion, in April last, he was released three days before the expi ra ti on o f the month by the in. tervention of her Majesty, both Sir James Graham, in the House of Commons, and the Lord Chancellor, in the House of Lords, ad mitting fully the illegality and inhumanity of the course pursued by the magistrates. The committing magistrates on that occasion were R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and W. Wootton Abney, E'q. In this instance they are R. G. Cresswell, Esq , and the Rev. Sir Nigel Gresley. The commitment is dated from Ashby. de .la-Zouch, Oct. 4. 1845. Thomas Lakin is an inhabitant of the village of Whitwick, six miles from Ashby, and works in the Whitwick coal.pits. it be,ng uncalled for. This week 45 men have arrived from Man chester, and are posted on the different roads to note down the traffic of the island by day and night—not a keg of foreign spirits even is to be allowed to pass unreported. - George lincisou, Esq., has purchased Newby Park, one of the beautiful seats of the Earl De Grey. It is bounded by the romantic river Swale, and adjoins the splen did estate of Baldersby, in the North Riding, which Mr. Hudson soma time ago purchased of the Duke of Devonshire. As there is no family mansion on the Baldersby estate, this purchase will form a most desirable appanage.—Yorkshire Gazette. Hungerford Suspension-bridge was sold on Thurs day by the proprietors for 226,0001., thus yielding 621. 10s. for each share of 251. A deposit of 20,000/. is to be paid by the purchaser next week. . . . - Tun ANDOVER UNION. The inquiry into the misconduct of M'llougall, the late master of this union, and his dismissal by the Poor-law Commissioners, will not, ap paren:ly, have much practical effect, fur ie person ap pointed in his place is a man named Price, who was sent from the Oxford union. M'Dougal himself continues in the town, and it is said pays frequent visits to the workhouse, where he continues to interfere, though nominally and disgracefully discharged. MERCHANT SEAMEN.—IMPORTANT ORDER.—An order was issued a short time since by the Commissionus of the Customs, in pursuance of directions to that effect from the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, di. recting that vessels required to carry medicines by the Act of 7 and 8 Victoria, chap. 112, be occasionally boarded by the officers of the Customs, fur the purpose of ascer taining the quantities of medicines shipped for the use of the crew. The folowing is a copy of the scale of medi cines ordered to be adopted by the Lords Commissioners of . . _ _ THE ECLAIR STEAM-SLOOP. It is with feelings of great regret that we announce the death of Mr. Sidney Bernard, the assistant surgeon, who volunteered his services on board the Eclair steam-sloop at Madeira, and up to the 6th, with Mr. Charles Coffey, the assistant-surgeon of the Growler, was in unceasing attendance on the unfortunate sufferers of this 111-fated vessel. Mr. Bernard died on board the Eclair, at Stand. gate Creek, on Thursday morning at half-put six, after three days illness. It would appear that both that noble philanthropist and Mr. Coffey kept up very well whilst the sick depended on them alone, and they Pad the excitement of responsibility , and it was only when other assistance was a t han d that they yielded to that fate to which broken res t, assiduous watchings, and constant weariness had predisposed their human f rames, in spite of their indomitable spirit. The body of Mr. Bernard was examined previously to inte rment, and presented the usual light yell appearances which are r e markable in cases of death from the fever in the West Indies. Four medical officers h ave e has favourably vou twora bl passed the seamen died on board the Eclair. Surg eons, Mr. Macono chy, of the Eclair, and Dr. M'Clure, late of the Actaeon ; and assietant.sur geons, Mr. Hurtman, of the Ec lair, and Mr. Bernard. Th e l atter was an assistant -surgeon of 1838, and belonged to th e Caledonia' 120, at Devonport at the comm. ticement of the year. Mr. Coffey we are gratified to hear , i s doin g well, and Lieut. Isa acson i s pro. y greasing very favourably towards recovery. The pilot who was taken on board at Portsm outh, Mr. Saunders, who had also been are doing well.

On Wednesday one of the quarantine men was reported to have caught the fever. The quarantine restr i ct ions . are now somewhat relaxed, and the surgeon, Dr. Stewart,. is allowed to go from one ship to the other without the quarantine b oat; but i t is ordered that his boat shall show the y ellow Sag with a black ball in the centre. It is but justice to the medical profession generally to state th a t many gentlemen, other tha n those belonging to the R oya l Navy , have volunteered their services; .at the same t i me w e must state also that the most absurd propositions have been made with respect to the steam-sloop and the unfortunate crew, to get rid of the fever, and to cure both effectually. the Admiralty, under . the piovisions of the 18th section of the said Merchant Seamen's Act :—Medicines :.quantities for 10 men.—Castor oil, 11b. ; Epsom salts, 41b. ; powder of jalap, 4oz. ; powder .of rhubarb, 4oz. ; powder of ginger, 20a. ; carbonate of soda, Boz. ; tartaric acid, Boz. ; senna leaves, 6oz. ; sulphur, Bez ; cream of tartar, 8oz.; nitre, 11b. ; laudanum, 4oz. ; tincture of rhubarb, Boz. ; balsam capivi.

LOSS of the Sta-100NER "PACKET," OF GREAT YARMOUTH. The following is an extract of a letter received`at Lloyd's from their agent at Vigo : " We forward to you a copy of the letter written to the British Consul at Vigo, by the chief mate of tee English vessel Packet, of Yarmouth, which vessel it must be sup posed sunk at sea, in order that Macdonald's gallant behaviour may be known of the Committee, as well as the humane proceedings of J ose M. Puente, master of the Spanish vessel Sabina. "Brig Sabina, lying in Vigo, Sept. 20, 1845. "British Consul, Vigo. " Sir,—My being a British subject emboldens me to trouble you with this, to acquaint you with the loss of the British schooner Packet, of Great Yarmouth. The Packet, under the command of H. Barker, sailed from Port-au-Prince on the 29th of July, with a full cargo of coffee, cotton, and logwood, having six men on board, besides H. Barker's wife. On the 7th of August, the said H. Barker expired. On the 17th of August Mrs. Barker requested to be put on board of the barque Catherine, Jenkins, from Cuba to Swansea, which was complied with. On August 19 the packet was dismasted in a most dreadful hurricane; on the 22d of August spoke the barque Rapid, from Swansea to London, and remained by us all night; the crew seeing the rudder slack, the wood-lock gone, stancheons and stern post started.. would work no more, but went on board of the said Rapid. Since the 7th of August I took charge of the Packet, being then chief-mate, and seeing that the vessel's bottom was tight, I remained on board myself; leaving two try-sails, &c., small sails, in hopes of falling in with ii vessel that could spare some hands to assist me in getting the Packet into a safe place. I saw vessels, and. made signals of distress, but to my loss and misfortune took no notice of me, and in a most dreadful situation I was for twelve long days and nights, pumping and steering, trying to keep in the tract of vessels. At last, so much salt water going over me, and the sun so powerful , drying me at the helm, affected my whole frame. My legs swelled and broke into dreadful sores, my strength failing, the pumps gaining, at ten, p.m., Sept. 3, I was taken on board the brig Sabina, from the Havanaah to Vigo, where I was kindly received, and my wounds checked, the sea then very high, the captain being then in formed there was only one person oa board, Le ventured her boat, into which I got without a jacket, a shoe, or a stocking, the ship's papers and log-book fast round my body, leaving the Packet with three feet water in her hold in lat. 39, long. 45. All other particulars will be seen in the log-book.—Your obedient, ‘' EWEN MACDONALD." MARKET NE WS.-(SATU RDA Y.) covnrar-mattuzAr.

This forenoon, at 11 o'clock, Mr. William Payne opened an in quiry at the Crown Tavern, Westminster-road, relative to the death of Mrs. Sarah Field, otherwise known as Madame Hengler. The jury having viewed the body, which lay in an adjoining room, and was frightfully scorched, the following evidence was adduced : Zactrtriah Tucker, a firework maker, of Ely-place, Lamheth, stated that on Tuesday evening last, about a quarter or twenty minutes to seven o'clock, he was a work in the back parlour of Mrs. Field's house, which is composed of six rooms, with two small rooms in the 3 ard, accessible from the back parlour. A young lad was at work with him, capping and tying up some penny serpents in dozens, when suddenly he saw a light arise from an oil lamp which hung against the wall over the work bench ; fear ing it was the boy touching the lamp, he called out to him, not to touch the lamp. He (witness) had no sooner said se, then a spark fell from the lamp amongst the squibs on the work beach, which exploded before he could get them away, and set fire to the other fire-works. Witness and the boy immedialely rushed from the room into the front garden, and called to the other per sons who were u p sta i rs ( includ i ng the d ecease d , w h o was in a feeble state and scar ce l y a b le to walk azross the reora t o esca pe, and I helped to assist th e whole of them, w i t h th e excep ti o n of the deceased, from th e w i ndow. Severa l persons t r i e d t o get the deceased, who w as stan di ng i n f ron t o f th e window Out, but her g reat corpulency prevente d i t, an d h e was pre sent when th e b ody o f t h e d ecease d was f oun d lyin g on the floor of th e front upper-roam, qu i te d ea d , an d d rea dfully scorched. Ther e was never mote th a n 251bs. of gunpowder upon the premises, and at that time there was not more than 101bs. in the house. Other witnesses corroborated the foregoing statement. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death." NEW GAMING ACT. IMPORTANT TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—SeveraI licensed victuallers appeared before Mr. Hardwick on Friday at Marl borough-street, to apply for licenses to keep billiard tables, under the impression that the new Gaming Act came into operation that day, and that they were required to take out a special license if they intended to allow billiards or baga telle to be played in their houses. The applicants were informed that they were under a mis take in supposing that, the new Act, which came into partial operatioa yesterday, extended to Middlesex and Surrey. These two counties were not to be subjected to the new regu lations until the sth of next April: Mr. Hardwick further informed one of the applicants, that upon looking into the provisions of the new Act he was of opinion that it was not necessary for a licensed victualler to take out a license for billiards or bagatelle, for that under their publican's license they were entitled to have billiard and bagatelle tables, if they chose. The applicant wished to know what new restrictions were placed on the publican who kept a billiard-table under the new Act. Mr. Hardwick said the Act itself, in some of its clauses, was not very clear; in fact it appeared that one of the ob jects of Legislature—the prevention of tippling in billiard rooms—so far fom being likely to be attained by the Act, would be entirely defeated, if his constructien of the particu lar clause was correct. Licensed victuallers were empowered to keep open their houses for billiards during all those hours at which they might legally keep open for the sale of excise able liquors. Now a licensed victualler, under the existing law, might keep open all night if lie chose, and might sell exciseabla liquors without being liable far a breach of any Act of Parliament. Consequently, licensed victuallers, under the new Gaming Act, may keep open all night for bil liards, and may allow exciseabie liquors to be consumed all night in their billiard-rooms. The only t estriction upon this absolute freedom was on Saturday nights, when they were required to close their billiard-rooms before twelve o'clock. The applicant thanked the magistrate f_.r the information he had-obtained, and remarked that it would be new to most publicans, and of importance to the trade that their exact position under the new law should be ascertained. WOODSTOCK ELECTION. —An addre ss from Lord --- Alfred Spencer Churchill, on e of the sons or the Duke of Marl borough, to the electors of Woodstock, solicitin g their suffrages, appeared In Woodstock yesterday (Wednesday). It is brief. His Lordship dates his address from Hounslow Barracks, and says, "My political principles and rule of action are identical wi t h his (Lord Lottus's), therefore, as you well know them, and deemed them worthy of your unanimous support, further demonstration on my part appears uncalled for." , A rich, very rich , address to the electors, from Elliott, the dr ke's head gamekeeper, has appeared. He oilers himself on the duke's interest as a candidate for the re presentation of the borough. It is a splendid election squib.—Ban bury Guardian. Fx T THE li EGIAI RATION AT .

This line will diverge from the line of the Great' Eastern and Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North Wales. The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Groat Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh hotiaimod. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leo:ninater, Bromyard, awl Worcester, which latter town has always been 12te natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as compared . with other lines, by upwards of 30 m No I iterest at 4!. per cent. -aver will be applied for to allow t tattled, and payments, as well as to persco will be liable for more than his de i p le o s sit till the act is fat. vi the time of their respective on all calls trot. limit the liabilit) - nexed form, to be made to the ,r s - ,Landon, of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.s C e ham street a al Son, sharebrokers, Tokeuhouce-yard ; or Messrs.
