The tariff came into operation on the 29th of August. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF WATCHES.—A few days since, in consequence of Information which had been received, two of the officen of the revenue were despatched to one of the large towns in the west of England, intimation having been given to them that a person had a large number of watches in his possession, which had been imported into this country from the continent without payment of the prosper duties thereon, and of which the revenue had consequently been defrauded. We understand that the officers have returned to town, and have succeeded in making a seizure of the contraband watches, which considerably exceeded 100 in number. No further particulars have transpired as to the names of the persons, or as to any proceedings likely to be insti. tatcd against them. This Is the third or fourth extensive seizure of this valuable article of merchandise made by the Custom' officers within the short space of a few months. If we be corre:Aly informed, the came °tracers have a seizure of a much larger quantity of the same valuable description of goods in view, If they have not already captured them. It is a matter of surprise how so large a number of such valuable articles could possibly be imported, although their ultimate seiros must be on equal source of gratification to the officers and the trade generally, which must necessarily be seri ously injured by the success of such malpractices. LINCOLN AND NOTTINGHAM RAILWAY At a meeting held at the Midland station at Derby, on Tuesday last, the Directors of the Midland Railway accepted the tender of Messrs. Smith and Holland, contractors, Leicester, for making the Lincoln en d N o ttingham Railway, which Is, according to the corditions of their contract, to be open for the public on the Ist of June next. DREADFUL ACT OF SELF-DESTRUCTION.—Thurs day afternoon the utmost excitement prevailed in the neigh. bonrhood of Messrs. Elliot's brewery at Pimlico, in consequence of a report, unfortunately too well founded, that an individual bad shot himself through the head in the parlour of the Stag, in Castle. lane, adjoin the brewery. The facts upon inquiry appear to be as follow :—Mr. Richards, a gun.stock maker, living In Castle.lane, and having another residence at Fulham, went to the Stag about live o'clock, and having gone to the back door looked at his watch, o hen he went into the front parlour and called for a pint of porter, which Mrs. Church, the landlady, took to him. At this time he was mending up and looking out of the window, but there was no. thing in his manner to excite the slightest suspicion in her mind of the tragical act that was to follow, and Richards was perfectly sober at the time. She had scarcely left the room when she was alarmed at the report of a pistol in the parlour, and upon some persons going into the room the unfortunate man was found lying in a pool of blood on the floor, and a pistol by his side. Ile was immediately taken up stairs in an insensible state, and surgeons sent for, when Mr. Rendall, of York-street, quickly attended. It was then disco. vered he had shot himself under the right ear, and the bullet had most probably passed into the brain. Not tke slightest hope is held of his recovery, and his existence cannot be prolonged above a few hours. No cause can possibly be assigned for the act, as Mr. Ri chards was in good circumstances. FRIGHTFUL COACH ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last the London and Newmarket mail, which leaves Norwich at five o'clock, met with a very serious acc•dent at Cringleford-gate. Coming rapidly down the hill, at the bottom of which is the turn pike-gate (a good:pate being required to mount the opposite de. clivity), by some mistake the gate was flung back thi wrong way, and catching the forewbeel shattered it to pieces, every spoke being removed, and the coach body separated from the axletree. The coachman (Newman), a most steady driver, continued to hold the reins, and was much injured by being dragged and bruised. We regret to say a lady, who was passenger, had her arm broken, and three other passengers were so much hurt that they were com pelled to return to Norwich. A gentleman, a London traveller, was very much cut and contused about the face and head, but came on by another coach, for which a messenger was sent to Norwich, and which continued the journey, arriving at the Suffolk Hotel, in this town, two hours later than usual. Every attention was paid to the sufferers that humanity could suggest, and the gentleman who arrived at the Suffolk was going on well when our informant la . st inquired.— Bury Herald_ A "'MONSTER" POLICEMAN.— On Tuesday evening the inhabitants of Brixton, Walworth, and Peckham, were conside rably amused by the aerial gambles of a " monster" policeman, who was seen floating about the air for some time, and who at length fell upon the roof of a house in Minerveplace, Old Kent.road. It appears that Mr. Bass, a gentleman of fortune residing in Kent terraoe, Lyndhurst-road, Brixton, has been in the habit of letting off small balloons from his pleasure-grounds, for the amusement of his friends. Lately he has caused the construction of a figure of 12 feet in height in glazed paper, with head, neck, arms, and legs, and painted in colours to represent a perfect Jac simile of a "peeler," with truncheon in hand; and on Tuesday night he (Mr. Bass) had caused this figure to be attached to a pilot balloon, and so arranged it that it should drop from its companion upon the former attaining a certain altitude. The experiment was very sue.. eessful, and, upon ascending, the figure of the " peeler" had an ex ceedingly ludicrous appearance, and seemed as if in the act of being Lung. On attaining a certain altitude the figure dropped from the balloon, when its appearance became much more comic and laughable. It had been so constructed as to maintain an erect position, and its various evolutions in the air were truly ludicrous. it gradually descended, until at length it fell on the top of one of the houses in Minerva-place, Old Kent-road, and was secured by police-constable 146 P, who on Wednesday restored it to Mr. Bass. It was fortunate it had not fallen on the ground, for had it done so, no exertions of the police would hare prevented the public from seriously damaging the representative of the law. A MtN LITERALLY DISSOLVED.—A young man, named Joseph Brammey, residing at Hadfield, In Glossop, Derby shire, and employed at the Hinting Vale Printworks, belonging to 31r. Potter, was lately found in a pan containing 300 gallons of caustic lye, which was found at a boiling heat. Mow he came in is nut known ; but it is supposed that he went to the top of the pan to see if the lye was boiling, and, standing on the edge, must have fallen into the horrible grave. The deceased had not been seen about the premises after twenty minutes past ten o'clock. At a quarter-past erne Robert Stubes went to stir up the liquor in the pan, when, to his ccat alarm, he discovered same of the deceased's clothes, the body being quite eaten away by the liquor. Assistance was immediately procured, and search made for the remains of the deceased. The liquor in the pan wag thrown away, and at the bottom of it nothing bet a few hones could be found, and these looking as if they had been in the ground a hundred years. The leather and soles of his clogs were eaten away; a portion of his clothes that were made of cotton, had sustained little injury, and the irons and nails that had been In his clogs were found. The deceased's teeth were discovered all se parate. Strange to say, the deceased's heart was found by itself, quite sound. All that was collected of the body did not weigh 71be., uni if these parts had remained in the liquor three hours longer, not a particle would have been left. The deceased was 17 years of age. This dreadful circumstance has caused the utmost regret to the pro prietor of the print-works, who is well known for his benevolent die position.—Derby Mercury. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—We understand that the sailing match for the Grand Challenge Cup and Ladies' Purse, with 50 guineas, came off yesterday, when the Victoria (an Irish yacht) belonging to Daniel Connor, Esq., of the R.C.Y.C., came in first, and the Edith, belonging to J. C. Ewart, Esq., came in second. —Liverpool Mercury of yesterday. NEW BRIGHTON REGATTA.—This affair came off yesterday. Tire purse of flve sovereigns for four-oared ship gigs, to be rowed by boatmen, was won by the Midge, beating the Elizabeth, tho Thomas, and the Gipsy. The purse of three sovereigns for two tiered gigs was won by the Seagull, beating the Gipsy, the Elizabeth, the Ertteette, and the Fame. The sculling match for two sovereigns WOll by the Qu)k, beating the Dwarf and the George. A great number of persons ere present, anti the usual attendants upon fairs, vra'me, Fee., were o the ground. Everything was conducted in the n. se enterly manner.—Liverpool Mercury of yesterday. A contract has been concluded between the Go vernment and the Pacific Steam Navigation Company for the convey anze of mails on the western coast of South America, between Val paraiso and Panama. This is an important arrangement, as the mails being taken across the Isthmus to Chagrea can be regularly Mc:light by the vessels of the West India Royal Mail Company to this country, instead of performing the long circuitous route by Cape ----- THE SWFILL Mon AT THE FIGHT.---The fight be- ' tween Bendigo and Count proved a profitable affair to the railway companies, not so to many individuals. The train which reached Rugby from the 'Midland Counties line at three o'clock in the after noon of Monday last, brought in the third-class carriages upwards er bnfl persons—characters of the lowest grade; the train having to stay at Rugby station an hour, afforded them an opportunity of ming their vocation, which they did in many instances on persons hi the vicinity of tale station. They then adjourned to the Railway Inn, kept by Mr. J. T)alley, and literally crammed it ; and while the landlord and others were engaged In supplying creature comforts to their guests, some of the party went up stairs, broke open the cash box, and stole the contents, amounting to nearly 41., together with several articles of wearing apparel, and safely retreated. The train carried upwards of 1,000 persons to the soene of the fight.—Banbury Ma raja n. REDUCTION OF THE PRICE OF BREAD.—The con tinuation of the favourable harvest weather has at length had the gratifying effect of producing a general reduction in the price of bread, of from a penny to three halfpence per loaf of 41bs. There are, However, some exceptions, &slit the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell - little or no alteration has yet been made. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday the new street called Endell-street, formerly Hanover and Belton-strect, leading from Long-acre to Broad-street, Bloomsbury, together with the continuous line of tho roug hf are, now named Bloomsbury-street, previously Plumtree and Charlotte -streets, were thrown open for the pssen;e of vehicles, thus giving the long-desired direct line of com munication between the northern and southern parts of the Metro. polls, it being now nearly a straight road, cia Waterloo-bridge, from the Elephant and Castle to Hampstead. The Duke of Richmond laid the foundation-stone Richmond Gordon of the new free schools at Fochabers, the vie'nity of castle, on Wednesday se'nnight, when th e Duchess of the L at adles Le ceremony. nnox, and a large party from th e ducal castle were pre t the AIRS. FROST. —The paragraph which has appeared Stating that " Mrs. Frost, the wife of the Newport convict, is gone out as matron on board a convict ship to New South Wales," is en tirely without foundation. Mrs. Frost, we learn, is by birth, educa tion, and fortune, a highly-respectable lady, enjoying the respect of all who knew her, and is at the present time residing at No. 14, Montpellier, Bristol.—Cheltenham Chronicle. _ CELEBRATION OF HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PERTH, —The third anniversary of this event was celebrated by the Society of High Constables, in the Star Inn here, on Friday evening last ; Mr. David Ross, merchattt, moderator of the Society, in the chair, supported by Bellies Gray and Kcay ; Mr. Alexander ScOtt, writer, croupier. The evening passed most harmoniously, with appropriate toasts and songs, to which the landlord of the Star's good cheer not a little contributed.—Perthshire Courier, Sept. 11. OFFENCES IN THE PARKS. — Yesterday the usual monthly statement of offenders detected and convicted for offences committed in St. James's, Hyde, and the Green Parks, Wklzi exhibited at the various entrances into the Parks, according to an order of the Coaunissioners of Woods and Forests. From this document it appears that, during August, there Were rive offenders—sne for cutting the- seats, tined five shillings ; four for indecency, three of whom were sentenced by the magistrates each to three months' confinement and hard labour ; the other one for a similar offence, but of a more aggra vated description, for which he was tried at the last Middlesex ries- IdOnS, and ientenced to six mouths' imprisonment And UN labour. r~ COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

Sia,—A report having appeared in your paper of the 11th inst. re specting the trial and conviction of a Mrs. Bland (an actress), at the Middlesex Sessions on a charge of picking pockets in the streets of London, and it having been reported (somewhat gratuitously) that the husband of that person was an actor in the Dublin Theatre, I beg you will I6se no time in doing me an act of justice by publishing this letter, which is particularly called for, inasmuch as I have had the honour of being a member of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, under the management of J. W. Calcraft, Esq., for the period of three years, during which time my wife has never left Dublin, and is at the present moment residing in that city. I also beg to say that I am the only performer of the name of Bland connected with the Theatre Royal, Dublin, although there are two or three minor theatres in the city to which performers of the same name may possibly bo attached. As it is sufficiently evident that the report in question is calculated to injure myself and wife, I trust you will comply with the request of, Sir, your obedient servant, HARCOURT BLAND, of the Theatre Royal, Dublin. Theatre Royal, Bristol, Sept. 12, 1845. The FIGHT for the CHAMPIONSHIP. The following " Remarks" on the Fight for the Championship, between Caunt and Bendigo, which took place on Tuesday last, aro extracted from The Sporfraun's Magazine and Life in London, a spi rited and admirably-conducted weekly publication "REMARKS. " The style of both the men may be best judged from the particu lars of the rounds ; Count seemed ever eager, and occasionally lost his temper, by which he threw away a chance which moderation, steadiness, and coolness might have given to him. His physical ad vantages—height, weight, length, and strength—were too great to allow of that deviation on his side which was accorded on the other; for it was impossible to repress a feeling for the boldness, dexterity, and quickness of the lesser man, whose escape from utter annihilation seemed little short of a miracle. Hence much of the imputed unfair ness. Yet we must here record our deliberate conviction that, although Bendigo was often sailing too near the verge of unfairness to be alto gether pleasant or proper, yet this only occurred in the earlier rounds, and that it must be viewed as a set-off for natural qualifications which the lesser man supplied by activity and skill. To have stood up and exchanged blow for blow in half-arm rallies with an overwhelming giant like his opponent must have quickly terminated the contest without a hope on the part of the lesser man. Indeed, it would have been the very hammering game at which a thorough staunch man like Cauut, with unmatched strength, must annihilate an adversary : he was, therefore, expected to shift and get down ; and it argues little for Caunt's skill or gift of hitting, that a man of twelve stone should fight for two hours and eight minutes, and leave off with a few slight contusions. Bendigo, however, declared, pre vious to entering the ring, that, win or lose, he would not fight again, a resolution we sincerely commend. He is thirty-three years of age, a time at which professed pugilists, especially of the heavier weights, should retire. He may well repose beneath the shade of the laurels he has won, although we doubt not that there aro many wits would fain pluck the leaves from his brow. Both sides cannot be satisfied ; the London division, and the most expe rienced members of the corps pugilistigue, have large odds in favour of Count, whose science,; it was declared, was so much improved that Bendigo would be served ala Nick Ward ; the result proved their error. Bendigo is a bolder man than Ward—ready, cool, and courageous ; the first fight with Ward, which Nick won, was but 11 or 12 minutes ; the second, which he lost, 47 minutes of manoeuvring, while Bendigo, on the first occasion, fought Count 22 rounds and 47 minutes; and on the second, after 75 rounds, occupying 1 hour and 20 minutes, he lost by getting down too quickly ; this third time ho contended for 128 minutes, a pretty convincing proof of the difference between Caunt's two competitors. Count will, of course, challenge the championship, and in the present dearth of big men we do not know of any one who could contest the claim. Independent of ill-health, wo cannot think the Tipton Slasher, slow and navigatorish, could have the ghost of a chance with so resolute and two-handed a fighter as the mighty Ben—mighty, although for the present, fallen. That the losers. will grumble and seek to re vise the decision, we doubt not, but it is a duty which the press owes, without fear, favour, partiality, or affection, to support ri gorously the decision of the appointed judge, when acting, as Mr. o—n unquestionably did, with perfect bond fries. If this is not done, a most dangerous and destructive precedent is introduced, which can involve no lesser consequence than the utter ruin of the ring. No one can impeach the uprightness of the judge, and the absurd rumours about the in tention to retain the stakes, divide them, or to adjourn the affair to another day and another trial, are as foolish as they are mischievous. If those who have always supported this authority are the first to renounce, deny, and Invalidate it, what can be said ? That they are the worst enemies of tile system they profess to uphold. In con clusion, we may observe that the result of the battle was known in London before eight,-by means of pigeons and the telegraph. Many clever people, however, knew it for certain.long before it took place. The lateness of the hour, half-past six—it was dark a little after seven—precluded the possibility of the second contest, that between Maley and Merriman, from being proceeded with. Indeed, as those worthies have proved rather long-winded in their former battles, it would be as well to give them a long day.' " STATE OF TRADE.—The demand still continues fair and steady. Wools remain firm. Lamb's wool yarns have again advanced Id. per lb., and are still scarce. There is a greatly diminished supply of wrought country hose, arising from the circum stance of most of the hands being employed hi the harvest. The present demand may be fairly expected to continue for two or three monis at least.—Leicestershire Mercury. CAUTION TO PRINTERS.—We ndvise printers to be on their guard against a tramp named M`Donald, an Irishman, who last week had a few days' work at our office. Ho had been kindly treated by the men, although without a card ; notwithstanding which, the fellow decamped with a couple of composing-sticks from the office (one marked "W. T. G., Swansea)." lie offered the sticks for sale to some of the printers in the town, at the same time present ing a plausibly-written begging letter, to which he had affixed Mr. D. Rees's name as a contributor for 4s. Gd. He effected his retreat before the loss of the sticks was discovered, otherwise he would, ere this, have taken up his quarters in the Rouge of Correction. He is a seedy-looking fellow, about sft. 3in. high, and wears a broad brimmed hat.—Cambrian. • LORD PANNIURE.—We regret to learn that this patriotic Nobleman was seized with serious indisposition last week, while at his shooting quarters, Millden, nigh the Grampians. Dr. Guthrie, of Brechin, the most eminent medical man in the district, has since been in daily attendance on his Lordship, who, it is to be earnestly hoped, will be enabled to rally from this attack.—Caleck nian Mercury. REBECCA AGAIN.—In carrying out the provisions of the late Act of Parliament relating to the Turnpike Trusts in South Wales some of the gates in the neighbourhood of Brecon have already been removed, the tolls reduced, and the distances between other gates are about being equalised. Among the latter the turn pike-gate near the ninth mile-stone on the Merthyr road, is to be re moved and a new toll-house erected this side of the Story's Arms. This building was last week in course of erection, and in a few days expected to be finished ; but lo ! on Monday morning last, upon the workmen going to their work, the new toll-house had disappeared, and the men were struck with astonishment at the industry displayed by the parks who had in so short a period levelled their work.— Hereford Journal. METROPOLITAN FAIRS.—The fairs hitely held and are now holding in various suburban districts of the metropolis, in the place of those held by ancient usage, which were suppressed a few years since by magisterial influence, are the speculation of a single individual, long connected with the show trade, who rents the land, and then sub-lets it. In several instances this has proved a profitable speculation. _ _ The koyal Devon and Cornwall Horticultural So ciety held its third and last meeting for the season on Thursday, in the assembly-room of the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. The display of flowers was large and beautiful, anti comprised some very choice specimens of those now in season. There was an excellent display of fruit and vegetables also, especially of the former, which were the more abundantly tbrnished, probably, from the circumstance that the fruit was to tbrm the principal attraction: at a grand dejefini, which was to be held at roar o'clock. The company was a brilliant and fashionable one, comprising most of the county families; of South Devon and East Cornwall. q he ddefine was presided over by the Earl of Morley, who was supported by 31alerGeneral the lion. H. Murray, Admiral Pym, Thomas Gill, Req., M.P., and a number of other gen tlemen. There was also a large attendance of ladies present, headed by the Countess of Mbriey, &c. The Noble Chairman presided with considerable ability, and the usual loyal toasts were drttnk bn the occasion. About 200 sat down, and Um pleasures of the day were closed in the evening by a dance. The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe will receive a large party at Fleurs Castle at the close of this month, when the Royal Caledonian Iltmt meeting is to take place at Kelso, the Noble Duke being President this year. The Dowager Duchess Is prolong ing her residence at Brighton. _ _ CHIMNEY ox FIRE.—In consequence of the great increase and prevalence of tire, from foul chimneys in the 'vicinity of Spitalfrelds, the churchwardens of Christchurch have published and distributed bills drawing the attention of the inhabitants to the sub ject. They quote the Act of 14th George 111., cap. 78, sec. 78, by which all lodgers, tenants, renters, or holders of apartments, are liable to the expenses incurred in case of any alarm of fire, trout such a cause, which may be recovered by the churchwardens by distraint upon the goods or chattels, if the amount be hot paid within fourteen days, and expressing their Intention to carry the provisions of the Act strictly into operation. A GENTLEMAN BITTEN BY A RABID Doe..-- Yesterday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, it scrams ac cident occurred to Mr. Thomas Yandervelde, a law student, residing in University-street, Tottenham-court-road. It appears that the young gentleman had been fondling a pQ,t clog of the tenier bitis), when the animal suddenly made a spring, and bit hfin lit tht hand. He did not, however, at the moment pay any partietilftr attention to the circumstance, attributing it to mere plat , . A few hours after wards, the arm becoming painful and inticaneil, he was induced, at the suggestion of his friends, to send for Inedical assistance, when it was feand necessary both t o excise, and afterwards cAnteriat, the injured parts. As the symPtincs have since ahattd, strong hopes are entertained of Mr. Yalerervelde's recovery. The dog, haVing Silichent unequivocal sign Of hydrophobia, was destroyed Witheet its" of time. INORDINATESIS DRINKING bk lititAleDY BY FIVE YOUTHS.—Last night at eight o`elbek, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the City Anna, Millwaih Miler, on the body of Henry Stroode, aged seventeen years, sail apprentice on board the ship Tigress, now lying in the West Ihiila export dock. It appeared by the evidence, that but Thurwloy evening, about eight o'clock, the deceased, with three other suttths, were invited on board the William Glllits by 11 ,, Wenno Cott, an apprentice of the latter ship, to partake of tome brandy. They remained on board about an hours (Wring Width brief space of time they drank between them threre Wilts of strong brandy. They drank the liquor out of a thinbler. Deceased, when he quitted the ship, appeared to bti kather Intoxicated, but he contrived to regain his own Ship, where he was shortly afterwards seen by John Suther land, the night watchman in the dock, in the act of taking off his boots, near the cat-head of the vessel. In the morn ing following, at about six o'clock, on one of the seamen of the Tigress going on deck, he found the deceased lying at the head of the ship quite dead and cold. Mr. Smith, surgeon, deposed that he was called to deceased. He found that he had been vomiting. He was quite dead.

LARGE THISTLE.—There is now to be seen in the Post-office garden, Wick, a scotch thistle, which has reached the great height of seven feet six inches ! It Was lately in full bloom, but the late storm was rather injurious to its Rather growth. There are still, however, about 150 blossoms upon it. This is one of the finest specimens of the real " Nemo me impune lacessit,"- which has yet been produced in the far north. It appenno to have reached its full height,--Nin evat hurnak CASE OF LIEUT. HOLLIS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - _ Sut,—ln my letter of the 30th ult., addressed " to Viscount Jocelyn, M.P., Secretary to the Right Hon. the Board of Control," (which, together with my petition to Parliament, you did me the favour to insert in your paper of the 3d inst.), the following words are attributed to his Lordship as forming part of his statement in the House of Commons relative to my case :—lt was " found necessary to put Lieut. Hollis under arrest while out on his voyage to India. Lieut. Hollis broke that arrest—a very grave offence, and used harsh lan guage to his superior officer."—Morning Herald, Aug. 6. Yesterday, however, I had the honour to receive a letter from his Lordship, informing me that "the sentence which it is your intention to allude to, as having fallen from me in the course of my reply to Mr. Escott, was (to the best of my recollection), that Capt. Mignan considered himself justified in placing Lieut. Hollis under arrest on the outward passage to Bombay, which arrest was broken by Lieut. Hollis (a very grave military offence), who, at the same time made use of language which one gentleman would not be justified in making use of to another, much less a subordinate to a supe rior officer. These I believe to be nearly the words I made use of in the debate, and not the sentence you attribute to me." Making every allowance for the difference—if there be any —between these two statements, they clearly lead to one and the same conclusion, viz., " that there were just grounds for the arrest; that it resulted from some misconduct—some breach of discipline;" of which I complained in my letter as being contrary to the facts, and "most prejudicial to the merits of the case." How can it be said " that Captain Mignan considered himself justified in placing Lieutenant Hollis under arrest," when he never preferred the slightest charge in its justificaticn—wben he acted throughout maid fee—malo anima P'—and when his whole conduct has been condemned—not by the Noble Secretary to the Board of Control, but by the Commander-in-Chief at Bombay—as "most irritating," "highly objectionable and censurable," and "neither called for nor suitable from a commanding officer 2" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient and obliged servant, WM. HOLLIS, Late Lieutenant Madras Army. Camberwell, Sept. 9, 1845. * " The Court think it their duty, before closing the pro ceedings, to advert to the lor.g end irritating correspondence entered into by Captain Align= with Lieutenant Hollis, and continued after that officer had been placed in arrest; and further to record their opinion, that the many frivolous com plaints preferred by Captain I .l.lignan against that officer, and particularly the galling, and, as it appears to the Court, un warrantable taunt, marked 13 in page 25 of the Correspond ence, in a great measure led to those acts on the part of Lieutenant Hollis which have been made matter for their in • vestigation."— Opinirm of the Court of Inquiry.

An Inquest was held on Thursday afternoon at the Adam and Eve public-house, Eton, Bucks, before Mr. John Pacton, one of the de puty coroners for the county, on the body of a,man named William Archer, twenty-nine years of age, who had held the situation of under-gardener for the last four years in the service of Mr. Gran • Tulle Pans, of Stoke.park, near Slough, and who met his death by drowning under the singular circumstances detailed in the following evidence. Mr. Per.n and several of the most respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood were present during the inquiry. The first witness examined was Mr. Charles Stewart Voules, solicitor, of Windsor, who deposed as follows :—I was returning to Windsor from a party at Stough, accompanied by Mr. Legh, between 1 and 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning ; and on arriving at the turnpike-gate in the Slough road, I distinctly heard the screams of a female. On proceeding further I heard called out, in a woman's voice, " For God's sake, leave me alone, don't treat me so; let me get up : don't drag me!" On reaching Willowbrook, near Eton College, I saw a man (deceased) and woman standing together quietly in the shade. I asked the man what the disturbance had been about, when he replied, " Oh, nothing ; the woman who cried out has just gone on before, so you are mistaken." I said, " That can't be, for I can sce up to Fifteen Arch bridge, and no one is there." I went up to the woman, and asked her what the man had been doing to her. She was then sobbing, and made no answer. I again put the same question to her, and she replied, " Nothing." I then said, " Well, if you are satisfied, we cannot be otherwise." I told the man he must be a great brute to ill.treat a woman at such an hour and in such a place, when he replied, ' 6 I have not ill-treated her, and I'll make you prove your words." We then left, but had not gone more than a few yards when the man came after us, and after taking hold of Mr. Legh by the collar, and striking him &severe blow on the head, breaking his hat, he made several blows at me, and at last we closed. In the struggle which ensued he got me on to the bridge, and when close to the low parapet he exclaimed, "D- you, I'll throw you over." I tripped him up and threw him upon his back, having previously sent Mr. Legh for a constable. I let him get up on his promising to go quietly, and on his telling me his name and who he worked for. He was no sooner on his legs than he again attacked me, and I a second time got him down, and en kept him until Mr. Legh returned with one of the Eton police, to whom I gave him in charge. When we reached the Christophor Inn, at Eton, on our road to the station. house, I saw the man put his band into his pocket and take out something, I told the policeman to open his hand, when he found in it a gardener's knife. I said, " What do you mean by that, you rascal 7" The man turned to the policeman and said, " This per son knocked me down in the road, cut me with'this knife, and robbed me of my watch, and be has got it." When we reached Perkins's house, the inspector of the Eton police, I said to him, " Now, if the inspector knows you, you may go." He then ran off down. the road, the constable after him, and just as they got out of my sight I heard a splash in the water. (The water referred to is a mill-stream, running nearly parallel with the Thames, very deep in the centre, and about 25 feet in width.) The constable came back, and sai-1, " He is gone through the water." I then ran down to the stream, but as I could neither hear nor see anything of him, I thought he had escaped across to the osier bed. We then got a candle and lantern, and searched about for upwards of an hour without discovering any traces of him, and it was our opinion, from seeing some fresh wet weeds on the banks of the 'stream, that he had got out at that spot and escaped. I think the man was sober. Henry Carter, the const)ble who took the deceased into custody, stated that when the man started off towards the water he followed him and saw him go in, over a camp-shedding (or wharf). Wit ness afterwards saw him walking in the shallow water, close by the camp-shedding, a distance of 15 feet, and he then returned and gave the alarm that the man had got away. Witness was present during the search. Mr. Granville Penn rose, and stated to the deputy-coroner that he had attended the inquest, not only as being the master of the unfortunate deceased, but as one of the magistrates of the county ; end as the man had met with his death while in the custody of the police he begged to suggest, in ordcr that a correct conclusion might be arrived at, that the jury should view the place at which he had fallen into the water. This was assented to, and on the return of the coroner and jury, Samuel Perkins, inspector of the Eton police, was examined, and corroborated the evidence of Mr. Voules and Carter as to the search which was made to discover the man. This witness also deposed to the finding of the body at seven o'clock the same evening by means of drags, nearly in the centre of the stream, where the water was about 8 feet deep. Mr. William Lcgh, one of the magistrates of Windsor, who was with Mr. Voules at the time he was attacked by the deceased, was then examined. He stated that it was his impression, from what the policeman said, who had seen the man go into the water, that he had got out again and escaped across the gardens of the neighbouring houses. This being the whole of the evidence, and the deputy coroner having summed up, the room was cleared for the jury to consider their verdict. The jury, after having been in consultation for half an hour, returned a verdict of " Accidentially drowned while escaping from the custody of a police.constahle." The deceased received an excellent character from Mr. Penn, who stated that he had lived in his service for upwards of four years, and that during that time he had been a most quiet, peace able, and industrious man, supporting his widowed mother en. tirely out of his earnings, and was much respected by hie neigh bours and friends. A subscription was made in the room for the mother of the de. ceased, the jury and witnesses banding over the fees they were en titled to to a relative of the pcor woman for presentation. The mm's watch, money, and other prcperty found upon him, were given to the same party for the mother by the deputy coroner. RAILWAY RETURNS.

On Wednesday evening her husband left her to attend to his duty. On his return to his cabin in about a quarter of an hour, he found her undressed and seated in a chair apparently quite dead ; upwards of a quart of blood had issued from her Instep. Her left stocking had jest before been removed from her foot. Mr. surgeon, stated that he was called to deceased. He found her quite dead. Upon examining her leg he found that the recent wound had broken out afresh, and that hastily removing her stock ing from her swelled leg had removed the scar from the wound, and the artery had recommenced bleeding. Witness attributed death to exhaustion caused by excessive haemorrhage—Verdict in accordance with the medial testimony. • HER MAJESTY ' S STEAM YACHTS AT TREPORT.— When the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, and her little tender the Fairy, were at Treport, the French Royal Family were much pleased with their appearance, but especially with that of the Fairy, built of iron, and propelled by the screw. The Prince de Joinville visited the Fairy frequently, and on one occasion with Prince Albert, when his Royal Highness introduced Mr. Penn, the constructor of the engines of the Fairy, who, by royal command, was on board that vessel during her Majesty's visit to the continent. Mr. Penn accompanied that gallant young Admiral the French Prince all over the little yacht, and into the engine-room, 3001 some portions of the ma chinery were taken to pieces at his desire. Prince de Joinville dis played an intimate acquaintance with the most minute details of the screw machinery, and expressed his firm belief that a very short ti:uramehwould elapse before every man-of-war should be fitted with the screw propeller. • NEW S COTTISH SHIRE.—When in the county of a few weeks pgo, we pet a farmer, who showed us a sheep dog which he said came from Scotland. On being asked what part of Scotland it belonged to, he said it came from Gaelicshire !—Scots man.

AURITIU s.This afternoon the market was better sup plied with all descriptions of Mauritius Sugar, ...the quantity offered at public sale amounting to 7,463 bar. The trade were desirous to purchase, and the whole sold at extreme rates. MoLasses.—Prices are firm for all descriptions of West India, and a large demand has been experienced, 1,000 puns having been disposed of at 17s to 24s per cwt for very low to fine quality. Bengal Treacle is wanted at 17 s to 18 s per cwt. East INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in ex cellent request, and 1,091 bags at auction were sold at stiff rates, good yellow not grainy fetched 52s 6d to 53s 6d, mid• dling 51s 6d, damp 51s to 545, washed 49s 6d to 545, middling sound brown 40s, damp and washed 39s 6d to 40s.

Of Afocha 108 bales were offered at auction and taken in at 60s for yellowish mixed with Peas and rather broken, being above the value : 6 barrels of Rio at 65s for middling coloury. Coeo.t.— For Foreign there has been much inquiry, and the rates paid privately have been fully equal to those previously quoted,. but the supply is still insuffieent for the demand. With West India the market has been better supplied; the quantity offered at auction having amounted to 2961 bags 156 bls. The trade were less inclined to purchase, but holders refused to sell but at former rates ; a part, however, was only disposed of. TZA.—The market has an improving appearance for nearly every description, holders manifest firmness, and still refrain from offering any at public sale. There has been no arrival since this day week, whereas a very large quantity has been delivered for home consumption. The stock of Black at this port is 2,487,4071bs less than it was last year at this time, but of Green it was 1,238,3301bs greater. The de liveries of all sorts differ little from those of last season, but the greater Congou has been im enin p e o x rt c a e t l i l o e n nt h re a q s u b es e t e , n a 26 nd i s 'Bs tiff 3 e l r bs rates are paid ; common sound selling at 10d, and good common 104 , 1 to lld per lb cash.

In all other sor:s of Tea rather more has been done at full pricer. Srsces.—This afternoon Nutmegs were in excellent request, and 10 boxes at auction sold with animation : fine bold brown Penang bright 5s to 5s 2d, good 4s 9d to 4s lid, being an ad vance on the rates of the last auction of 6d to 8d per lb.

The Sultana has returned with her outward cargo, entry to Buenos Ayres having been refused In consequence of her having touched at Monte Video for a pilot. No letters have been received, but the fact now mentioned is viewed as indicating a more unsatisfactory state of affairs than was expected from the tone of the letters last received, and appears entirely to contradict the reported success of the mediation.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN UNION.-IPSWICH AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S. lesvercn, FRIDAY.—The first ordinary meeting of this Company was held at their offices, Brook-street, Ipswich, this day, at one o'clock, for the disposal of the general business of the Company; after which, the meeting was made special, for the purpose of in creasing the number of Directors named in the Act of Incorpora. tion to fifteen, and also to apply to Parliament next session fcr powers to make a line to Norwich, diverging near Stowmarket, and for another to join the Northern and Eastern line near Cambridge. Mr. John Chevalier Cobbold, Chairman of the Board of Di rectors, having taken the chair, The Sac RETARY (Mr. Saunders) read the report, which stated, amongst other matters, that they had much pleasure in announcing that Parliament has sanctioned so much of the undertaking, to which they had subscribed, as lies between Ipswich ar.d Bury St. Edmund's ; the residue was postponed until next session. That it was a source of great congratulation to them, that in announcing the success of thus much of a railroad into Suf folk, the Directors could fairly treat of it as the commence ment only of a much more comprehensive scheme. Knowing the sentiments entertained by the proprietary, the Directors are pro ceeding to acquire the further necessary powers for extending the line to Norwich from Stowmarket, as originally intended. The pe. cuniary resources are already secured. With the deposit already paid, the Directors would be enabled to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, without a further call for that purpose. Of the large balance on hand, the Directors had invested at interest 34,5001. That the Directors had given their best attention to the proposals of another Company which would make a line from Ipswich to Yarmouth nearer to the coast ; but they could not be lieve it would remunerate its projectors, and declined to be engaged in supporting it. " The last scheme of extension to which your Directors beg your attention is the connecting link between Bury St. Edmund's and Cambridge. It is deemed by them of great importance to the interests of the county, and likely to be productive both of trading advantages to the towns it em. braces, and of a large increase of revenue to the lines of this company, reaching as they do the ports of England most favourably situated for continental intercourse. Already lines are projected, with every prospect of being successfully carried for ward, from Cambridge to Oxford, and from Cambridge to Worces. ter, in direct extension of communication with yourprojected Cam bridge line." The receipts and expenditure were next read, by which it ap peared that the funds of the company were in a very prosperous state, and left a balance of 39,G00/. on hand. The Custamax then congratulated the shareholders upon the fact that they had received no opposition wh.tever from the land. owners along the line, although it proposed to pass through the beautiful estates of Sir William Mydleton, Mr. William Gurden, Sir P. Brook, Lord Ashburton, &c. ; and he was also glad Ito say that they had got a site for their station at Ipswich, free of ex. pense, frcm the Corporation. Resolutions founded on the report were also agreed to. GOOLE, DONCASTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MANCHESTER. Yesterday, the first general meeting of the Proprietors was held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Mr. W. G. Thompson in the chair. There was a numerous attendance of Proprietors. The report of the Directors, read by the Company's solicitor, after alluding to the various features of the line, as proposed in the last session, and to the recommendation of the Commons' Com mittee, that it be postponed until next session, concluded as fol. lows:—" There were 17,324 original shares issued, and that, after defraying all expenses attending the proceedings, there will remain a sum of about 8,0001. in hand; and as the capital, as originally estimated for the line, was 635,0001., the Committee propose to raise that amount on 31,750 shares of 20/. each, instead of 25,400 shares of 251. each., and they recommend the following arrangement : That upon the 17,324 original shares issued, a further sum of It. 10s. be paid by the holders of the scrip, and that such holder be entitled to one new share for every four old ones held by him, upon the payment of 21. 2s. each upon such new share, which will produce 64,2801. 10s., a sum ample to meet the standing orders of Parlia. went, and will leave about 10,000 shares for landowners and others interested." The CHAIRMAN said, so satisfied were the Committee of the Commons of the traffic case shown by the Goole and Doncaster line, that the evidence of the first witnesses was enough to suffice; the Chairman remarking that, however good their case might be, the Committee could not come to a decision until the lines in group X were adjudged. This the Directors looked upon as unjust. They had been opposed in Parliament by none so vigorously as the river Don Navigation. It was only natural for such a great mono. poly to oppose them, seeing that the Goole and Doncaster would interfere with their enormous profits, which might be radii,' esti. mated, when he told them that they divided 1201. on every 1001.. share, besides leaving a surplus, and being in the receipt of 34,0001. per annum. Their shares, which were worth 3,0001. when the Doncaster and Goole line started, were now worth 2,4001. Over tures had been made from other Companies to the Goole and Don. caster, and they would be able, he believed, to make their own terms in a fortnight. The traffic returns, which they had taken between Goole and Doncaster, showed a revenue of 53,3731. per annum. The line could be made for 160,0001., and the re. turn upon outlay showed 25 per cent., without extending to Man. chester. it was proposed by Mr. Wargen, seconded by Mr. Mocatta, and carried, that the Directors be empowered to re-apply to Parlia ment to make the line, to extend it, and make deviations, with a branch from Thorne to join the Great Grimsby line at Brigg. The following gentlemen were then confirmed in their office as Provisional Committee, on the motion of Mr. Laing, and seconded by Mr. Thornton :—Hon. F. H. Berkeley, M.P., Major Adair, Messrs. Downes, Wheat, Bird, Drain, Johnson, Heath, Dalmume, Wilson, Thompson, Hall, and Burge. After some discussion a resolution was passed, permitting any shareholder to retire on the payment of such amount as the Com mittee might find him entitled to, on account of discharge of de posit money. A SPECIAL num.—Mr. T. Cook, Secretary of the Leicester Temperance Society, arranged with the Midland Company for a special train on Wednesday, to Derby, at the low rate of Is. for adults, and 6d. for children, there and back. It was primarily in tended for Sunday-schools, but open to the public ; and so nume rous were the applications for tickets, that it was found necessary on Tuesday to arrange for another train yesterday. Though Wednesday was the first day of the races, no fewer than 4,300 (of whcm 1,700 were adults) presented themselves at the station. The train was divided into three parts, and the party returned safely, delighted with their excursion. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
