He was opposed by a creditor in person, on the ground that he had fraudulently removed his property. The insolvent, in his examination, stat d that his furniture was only worth 151., and his stock in trade only 91. 155., and that the whole of it was still on the premises to which he had removed. He admitted that it was requisite for a van to be employed twice for the removal, and laughed at the opposing creditor asserting that more had been removed than could be found. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was very inconvenient to hear a case twice over; proof should be adduced at the present time. The opposing creditor said that he was not prepared, but on insolvent coming up again the carman should attend. Adjourned till the 20th October. SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELEC TION. WARWICK, SUNDAY.--AirTholton King has addressed the electors of the southern division of this county, and commenced his canvass with considerable success. He is now, it is said, to be opposed by Lord Brook, who is on the continent, and for whom his friends have undertaken to issue an address. Yesterday morning, his agents pro ceeded to obtain signatures to the following requisi tion :—" To the Lord Brook—We, the undersigned free hole ers and other electors of the southern division of the county of Warwick, requert you to allow yourself to be proposed as a candidate to fill the vacancy in the repre sentation of this division, occasioned by the death of Sir John Mordaunt. We entertain so high an opinion of your Lordship's constitutional, honourable, and inde pendent principles, and of your zeal and anxiety for the prosperity of the agricultural interest, that we feel con fident the high and important trust we are anxious to repose in you cannot be placed in safer hands. Oct. 4, 1845." In the course .of the day, however, Mr. Bolton King arrived in the town, and, it was said, commenced canvassing the electors, when it was deemed advisable by Lord Brook's supporters nut to wait the result of an answer to the above requisition, and they forthwith issued the follow ing address : "TO THE ELECTORS OF TILE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF The Euryd"ce, 26, Captain G. Elliot, and the Per sian, 16, Commander Coryton, were at Vera Cruz on the Ist ult. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Commodore Jone s , and the Star, 6, Commander Dunlop, were at Ascension on the 12th of August. Lieutenant William Mattley, of the Wasp,-17, died at Ascension on the 13th of July of fever on board the Pcnelope, whilst on his passage to rejoin the Wasp, after having taken to Sierra Leone a slave brig captured by her. The gallant officer had once before been attacked by the coast fever. He was a brave young officer, aged twenty-seven, and highly re spected in the service. His loss is deeply regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, by his brother officers especially. His remains were interred at the Island of Ascension with full honours, naval and military. The gallant deceased was the son of Mr. George Henry Alattley, .of Portsmouth, editor of the liampshire Telegraph newspaper.

The weather during last summer occasioned great anxiety to the inhabitants of this district—wind and rain prevailed throughout. The fishermen could only at rare times get to the fishing ground, and remain long enough to have any chance of success. The quantity of fish caught has, therefore, been very deficient. Several of the small six -oared, or haff boats employed in the ling or deep sea-fishing, were overtaken with the gales, and totally lost with all their crews. It is d e pl ora bl e t o think of the great loss of life occurring every year among these adventurous fishermen, without the least effort or assistance being afforded .by Government to guard against such calamities, by sending one or two small war vessels to sail along the coast during the fish ing season, and afford protection and assistance to the fishing boats when in danger. The French, Dutch, Belgians, &c., protect and guard their fishermen ; but a British vessel of war is never seen on the Zetland shores. Yet, when Government want men for the navy, they are not slow to seek a supply from among our hardy but neglected islanders. .Amidst all the unsettled weat h er , our crops a tt a i ne d considerable growth, and some fine days during the first part of the present month have had the happiest effect on them. The bear crop is fertile, and has been nearly all cut down in good condition. The potatoes are an excellent crop, but the oats are still exposed to the gusts of wind which too often prevail about this period of the season, and not being fully ready for the sickl We have had a visit from some Free Church ministers. Their voyages have perhaps been mane with the intent to raise money for making up to our islanders any defi ciency in their crops. They are surely too benevoli nt to attempt . to carry off any funds out of so poor a district, and too clear-sighted not to perceive ,that there is no need of a Free Church here, where the people are well supplied with religious light, because, besides the Esta blished Church, we have Independent, Methodist, and Seceder chapels ; the pastors and congregations gene rally are both zealous and exemplary. Although we have not been favoured with a sight of any of our British men-of-war, we have had the friendly and agreeable visits of those of other countries. First, a pretty little Dutch gun-brig spent some days twice at Lerwick ; and next, an elegant French corvette " Pre voyante," commanded by that highly esteemed officer, Captain Robin de Pare, with three French cutters, paid us a ten days' visit. The urbanity and elegant hospi tality of the commanders and ctlicers of these vessels, and the peaceable demeanour of their crews, are worthy of all praise.—Lerwick, Sept. 20. We are happy to add, in accordance with the above, that the corvette and two of the French cutters, Passe par Tout, and Eperlan, visited Leith Roads during last week, and the officers expressed themselves highly delighted with this city and its elegant buildings, and in particular with the Castle and Holvrood Palace. The officers also afforded muc h p l easure to a few friends in Edinburgh, w h om t h ey h onoure d with their company during their s t ay h ere. —C ouran t. private WASTE LANDS AND THEIR RECOVERY. The draining of swamps has been the means of re covering many thousands of acres, which were, for cen turies, indeed as long back as any record could be ob tained, perfectly useless; and it is almost the first cry of a superficial observer, when ground lies under water, "Drain it." All this is very easily said; and if you ask the parties so ready with their advice, how the water is to be got rid of, se e i ng t h at a ll th e ditches, and even rivers, in the neighbourhood, are as high as the ground to be drained, they w ou ld b e ra th e r puzzled to carry their advice further. But even this must not discourage us, when we observe what has been done in some cases. It is possible that a large part of land lying always under water, and that water considerably below the bed of the river that runs through it, may be so effec tively drained as to be v. orth cultivating and paying a smart rent for. Let us presume that ten thousand acres of ground, not worth a shilling an acre—not worth anything in fact, because alwa) s under water—be nevertheless in a good situation for farming, if it could be drained. It is clear that, if any means could be contrived to make it workable, it would yield a rent, which we will suppose to be only ten shillings an acre. Any moans that would cost annually five shillings an acre would have a profit of five shillings an acre. atake preparation, therefore, for working a steam engine at the lowest part, .to force up the water to the bed of the river, and keg) it always going, if necessary. Now, drain the land as you would if the water run off, bringing all the drains so as to con vey the water to the dyke cleared by the engine; and the effect is as complete as if it actually run away, in stead of requiring to be forced away by extra power employed on purpose. In this manner have the fens of Lincolnshire been converted (rem endless sheets of water to excellent wheat lands, yielding, under ordinary cul ture, four quarters to the acre ; so that ther e really is not any ground, in any situation worth claiming, th at might not be claimed by the application of some of the numerous means employed. A windmill h as been found equal to the draini n g o f a large swamp, where there were no means of running the water off, t h e near est and best watercourse lying more than six feet above the level of the great part of the swamp. There was an excavation made at the part nearest the outlet, and thi s was pumped out by means of a very economical • windmill, raised sufficiently to catch th e wind and though there were times when the want of wind gave ' the water a little lenity, it was for the most part well kept under, and proved a valuable addition to the farm. The draining was of coupe performed. so as t o gu id e t h e water to the excavation, where it was expelled to the neares t w atercourse by the mill. It is not th e a pp arent land im worth difficulty that should deter us_ from ove attem tin ments. In the Linc oln fens'i mprovement, nothing i w as made worth a consid erable sum and if it cost half the annual r ent to kee p t drained by means of st e a m - e ngines, the ot her half would be profit, and there fore worth the effort.—Horticultural Magazine.

An offer was made to the men that, if they would drive thirty piles in one day, they should have a good supper provided for them, and, on Saturday last, they set to work in good earnest, and completed the number in the given time; these piles were from eighteen to twenty-four inches square, and, consequently, a frontage of about fifty feet was piled in the day : the men were substantially regaled in the evening. —Mining Journal LATE MELANCHOLY OCCUR RENCE AT HOUNSLOW BARRACKS. On Saturday Sergeant Jecks, T 20, the officer by whern the warrant issued against Lieutenant Martin Francis Kerwan on Tuesday last was executed, left the George Inn, Hounslow, with a carriage - and post-horses, for the purpos e of fetching that gentleman from Tothill fields Bridewell, arrangements having been privately made that an application should be made to the bench of magistrates by Mr. Clarkson the barrister, fur the ad mission of Lieutenant Kerwan to bail. At twelve o'clock the following 'magistrates took their seats .—Mr. G. Baillie (of Hanwell) chairman, Rev. Dr. Walinsley (Hanwell), Rev. H. S Trimmer (Heston), Mr. B. J. Armstrong (Southall), Mr. T. Twining (Twicken ham), -and Mr. J. Frere (Chiswick). In the room we also noticed Lieutenant -Colonel Daly, commanding officer of the 4th Light Dragoons, Captain C umm i ng , Captain Megan, Carain Lucas, and Lieutenant Langton, of the same regiment, and several other military officers. Lieut. Kerwan then entered the room, accompanied by Sergeant Jecks, and took his station at the bar before the magistrates' tabl e where he was afterwards accom modated With a chair. Ile appeared to be rather above the middle stature, fair complexion, mild and pleasing features, and was attired in private clothes. Mr. Clarkson said Lieutenant Kerwan was an officer of the 4th Light Dragoons, now stationed at Hounslow Barracks. Ile had been charged with an offence, amounting to a felony, against the person of Qnarter master Thomas Tarleton, of the same regiment. He would not enter into the causes which led to that much to-be-r4gretted occurrence; but he would observe, on the circumstances that preceded the injury, that there was no proof of deliberation, and nothing like malice could be inferred from the facts. He did not require to bo told that the law makes no difference in the offence; but he was also aware that, under the recent Acts of Parlia ment passed on the question, it was exclusively in the hands of the magistrates to grant him that which he applied for ; and before he concluded he should show them there were not then and never were any dangerous symptoms in the wounded man to prevent them from doing so. He would now call the medical gentlemen who had been in attendance on the wounded man, and show his present condition. Mr. Edward Smith Graham deposed that he was sur geon in the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons. He bad in c, nsequence of the infliction of the injury been at tending Quartermaster T. Tarleton and last saw him that morning at eleven o'clock. The wound in the abdo men had been inflicted with a sharp instrument. Wit ness considered him progressing very favourably, consi dering the nature of the wound he had received, and he entertained hopes of his ultimate recovery. He did not consider there was any danger at present. He should ray now he was out of danger, and that the wound was heal ing fast. Mr. John Mum deposed that he was assistant-surgeon in the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons. He n)w con sidered the patient was quite out of danger. Some of the magistrates said they thought the wit ness's evidence was too indefinite. He ought to go more fully into his reasons for saying so. Mr. Clarkson asked if he meant that the unfavourable symptoms which had presented themselves had yielded to the measures adopted by the medical men, and the patient was now out of danger. The witness said that was the fact. Mr. Twining wished to know how long those symp toms had subsided. Was it on the previous day ? The witness replied : Not long. He would admit the patient might relapse. He hail, however, not done so since the energetic measures to meet those symptoms had been adopted. There was no appearance of diarrhoea.. Mr. Ralph Allen Frogley deposed that he was a sur geon residing in the town of Hounslow. He also had seen Quartermaster Tarleton, at 11 o'clock that day, in consultation with the two last witnesses. He had also attended the patient from the time of the injury. He gave, as his opinion, that the patient had been out of risk for forty-eight hours. He could not, however, say, that inflammation might not yet arise. The bench then consulted together for a short time, and The Chairman said the magistrates had considered the evidence of the medical men, and also that the oc currence had been without any deliberation, and had come to the determination to admit the accused to bail, himself in the sum of 5001., and two sureties in 2501., for his appearance at that court on that day fortnight further to answer the charge. Mr. Clarkson then offered as bail Lieut.-Colonel Francis Di matt Daly, the commanding officer of the regiment, and Captain Alexander Gordon Cumming, of the same regiment, saying he thought it better to bring forward two officers of the regiment, in order to show the opinion the officers entertained on the subject. The requisite recognizances having been gone into, Lieut. lierwan bowed to the magistrates and left the court, accompanied by his brother officers and friends, and immediately quitted the place on their way to Hounslow Barracks. The following are copies of the depositions taken at Hounslow Barracks on Tuesday last, and on which the granting of the warrants fur the apprehension of Lieut. Kerwan was founded. Copies of them were on Thursday last forwarded to the Horse Guards, in consequence of an application to the military authorities:— "The information and complaint of Thomas Tarleton, Regimental_ Quartermaster of the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons, who, on his oath, saith as follows: " On Sunday night, about ten o'clock, the officers were in barracks, showing feats of strength amongst them selves, and, in consequence of Lieutenant Kerwan, in wrestling with Lieutenant Greville, of the 2tl Life Guards, getting thrown twice on the floor, Captain Fane stopped the exercise cf these officers, when LieutenantKerwan said Captain Fane had no right to interfere, as a superior offi cer was present. Captain F ane then left the room, and I lost sight of him. Presently afterward Lieutenant Kerwan also left the room, and immediately afterwards Major Parlby, of the 4th Light Dragoons (the superior officer alluded to), called me out of the room, and stated that Lieutenant Kerwan intended to go into Captain Fane's room ; and the said Major Parlby said to me then, You are a stout fellow, prevent him (meaning the said Lieutenant Kerwan) from going into his room.' When I went into the barrack -yard, I there saw the said Lieut. Kerwan and others, and went up to him, and seeing him excited, I endeavoured to soothe him. He (the said Lieut. Kerwan) replied, that he had been threatened with the guard-room, and to that he would go .' Th e said Lieut. Kerwan then went up stairs to his own room, and put on his cap. Then I said, 'I will not allow you to go out ;' and I shut the door, and placed my back against it. Two swords of the said Lieut. Kerwan were hanging close to the door on pegs, when the said Lieut. Kerwan immediately took one sword, and said he would go out. I replied that I would not let him. I said this, because he was in so excited a state. Lieutenant Kerwan then said, There is another sword—defend yourself.' At the moment he said this I was reaching forward, and towards the second sword, but never drew it from the scabbard. At this moment Lieutenant Kerwan attempted to get past me at the door, and there he made a thrust at me with a naked steel sword, which did not touch me, but passed under my left arm. I immediately afterwards felt the blow which occasioned the wound I have received. The wound was just below the navel, and was inflicted by the sword then in the hand of the said Lieutenant Kerwan when he struck me the second time. I said to him immediately, You have stabbed me,' and I went to the light of the fire, and found blood on my shirt, and I went down stairs and sent for the surgeon. Alletbis took place on Sunday night, the 28th day of September inst., at the barracks on Hounslow Heath, in the parish of Heston, and in the county of Middlesex. " I have always been on the best friendly terms wills Lieutenant Kerwan, and I feel sure that, except when he was in the excited state in which he then was, he would have been the last man to have injured me.

DISCOVERY OF ♦N INTERESTING HISTORICAL RELIC AT STAINES.—On Thursday, the 11th ult., a tradesman of this town (Windsor) observed on a market stall a small plate, on which was engraved a long but well executed in scription, which he purchased for twopence. On closer exa mination, the plate proved to be of solid silver, and the tenor of the Latin inscription was diligently inquired for. From one hand to another it passed, until it reached Dr. Beasley, who found that the plate had been attached to a chest formed from a pile driven by Cassivellanus to prevent the passage of Cesar and his army across the Thames, at the Coway, Wal ton, several of which have been found from time to time in the bed of the river. The circumstance of a silver plate being purchased for twopence at an old iron stall furnh , hed a subject for gossip, and the person who had sold the plate soon found the "cista," and brought it to the doetor, who lost no time in making the purchase. No doubt of identity was entertained, as the plate had been let carefully into the wood. It remains only that the plate be recovered to make the most interesting relic of olden time once more complete. Windsor Express. According to his annual custom, the respected and esteemed representative, W.

At the hour Appointed a vast number of the electors of the city were in attendance, and on the motion of Mr. Mayo the chair was taken by Mr. John Hands, who, on opening• the business cf the day, said his task on the present occasion was a very easy and straightforward one—it was simply to introduce to the electors present their justly-esteemed representative Mr. Wil liams, and to ask of them that they would hear calmly and patiently what that gentleman bad to say, and then, should any party have any question to ask, or observation to make, requiring explanation, Mr. Williams would be happy to afford the desired information.

The screw-auxiliary vessel, Massachusetts, Captain White, arrived in the Mersey yesterday afternoon. She left New York on the 15th ult., and, from wharf to wharf, her passage may be put down at 17 days 11 hours. She had, the whole way, head winds and calms, and her run may therefore be considered excellent. She brought 10 passengers. She is, without doubt, the most extraordinary vessel, as a specimen of consummate engineering skill, that ever crossed the Atlantic, and will, we think, ex cite more attention and admiration than any craft that ever left the American shore. She is the first of a screw-auxiliary line to sail between this port and New York ; built at Boston, by Mr. Samuel Hall, for Messrs. B. Forbes and Co., f Boston; and has al ready made one voyage from that . port to New York. She is 800 tons burden, American measurement, 155 feet on deck, 173 feet from billet-head to taffrail, 33 feet beam, has engines of 280 horse power, and is shiprigged, with a few exceptions, the most striking being, that her topmasts are fidded abaft the mast. The lower masts are also unusually tall, and the funnel of unusual lowness, even in screw-steamers. Her cabins are capacious, well fitted up, and ventilated in a new, most ingenious, and strikingly effective manner; and she can accom modate forty passengers. Her screw is of a novel con struction ; it can be drawn completely out of the water at pleasure, by a most simple process, and placed in a perpendicular position against the stern; and, in such circumstances the " Massachusetts" is to all intents and purposes, a sail-vessel. The screw works most power fully, and ensures a speed, with sail, of twelve knots an hour. The sails and rigging abound in the most cu rious contrivances to ease the labour of reefing, short ening sail, &c.—perhaps the first instance in which modern machinery has been carried aloft. All sail has been repeatedly set in twenty-five minutes. She has four life-boats ; and, what will be found the most extraordinary proof of American inge nuity yet known in ships, every bench, seat, stool, &c., is a life-boat, made of iron, with air-tight compartments, and adapted to swim, even with the weight of a man. So many contrivances for safety were never yet brought together. Between quarter-deck and forecastle, both of which are raised to an unusual height, there are, frigate-fashion, between the deck itself and the top of the bulwarks, a kind of stages—found to be vast improvements on the plan in general use. For all these particulars we are indebted to the chief mate, Mr. J. R. Gordon ; but it would be an impossi bility to enumerate the various novelties and wonders to be found in the Massachusetts, and it is an inspection alone which can teach an appreciation. On the water she is a beautiful looking craft, with sharp bows, and an unexceptionable run fore and aft. She is consigned to Messrs. Hamden and Co., and goes into Waterloo Dock this morning.— Liverpool Journal of Saturday. The bridge which spans the turnpike-road, about the middle of the village of Clifton, on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, has given way, and will shortly be rebuilt in a more substantial manner. A MAGISTERIAL PEER.—A certain noble vis count, passing through a village in Wales the other day, was requested to sit as a magistrate of a petty sessions, in tended to be held at that village, (his lordship being in the commission of the peace for the county wherein the village is situated,) but, upon finding that a certain rev. magistrate was then and there present, ready to act with him, his lord ship abruptly refused, adding, " that no power could com pel him to act with one whose sentiments he disapproved of!" The consequence was that the local business of the neighbourhood could not be transacted that day, and the parties having business there were obliged to travel some 14 miles to Denbigh to deliver in th it jury lists, &c., on Fri day. IVe regret to state that that this is not the only case in which the public interest has been similarly neglected by the same party.—Carrvervan Herald. The number of bills of entry sold or subscribed for in Liverpool, from 1834 to 1844, averaged about 600 an nually, nearly 100 above the amount in London. The sums receiver for bills of entry in Liverpool, amounted last year to 3,0621. 14s.

It is rumoured by the Conservatives that the lion. Gentleman will not stand a contest, but retire, now that Lord Brook is fairly put forward. We do not believe he will retire, and if he does it will only be from a pru dent desire to avoid a contest which must, ere long, be resumed under far more exciting and important circum stances. The following is the address issued by Mr. icing : TO THE ELECTORS OF Ta IE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF WARWICK. " Gentlemen,—The greatly-to-be-lamented death of Sir John Mordaunt having caused a vacancy in the re presentation of this division of the county, I offer myself as a candidate for the honourable and important situa tion of representing you in Parliament. " If you should think fit to elect me, it will be my earnest endeavour honestly and independently to dis charge the great trust placed in my hands, and most especially to support the interests of the landowners, farmers, tradesmen, and labourers of this agricultural division of the county. Both in public and private life, it has been my constant aim to support these interests by advocating sufficient protection for agricultural produce, and by opposing ever• extravagant and unnecessary ex penditure of public money, as the only means of reduc ing those general and local taxes which press so heavily on the tradesman and occupier of land. " To the measures of the present head of the Govern ment I do not promise uniform support or constant oppo sition; they have been too contradictory and uncertain to enable me to form any opinion of what they will be for the future. But I will uphold all measures calculated to promote the public gcod, and oppose all such as would tend in any respect to injure our laws and constitution, or to lessen our civil and religious liberty.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient humble servant, " BOLTON KING. " Umberslade, October 3, 1845." HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER ECLAIR. A report, of which the following is an outline, was made to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council, on Friday, by Sir William Pym, Superintendent-General of quarantine, and Mr. Arnott, of the Middlesex Hospital. These gentlemen proceeded to Portsmouth on Tuesday last. The Eclair, it will be remembered, reached the Motherbank on Sunday evening. She had been imme diately reported to the Custom-house authorities, which are always the first informed of such matters, and the channel of communication with • the Privy Council, as baring on board a most malignant fever. That circum stance was, in due course, communicated to the Privy Council, and in consequetce of its order Sir Wm. Pym and Mr. Arnott proceeded on Tuesday morning to Portsmouth. They immediately repaired alongside the Eclair, accompanied by the quarantine otlicerq, and made the most minute inquiries into the con dition of the ship and the crew. From them it resulted that the crew had been suffering from a most malignant fever, with black vomit, since the 23d of July, when the steamer sailed from Sierra Leone. On leaving that place she proceeded both to Gambia and Goree; but the French authorities of the latter Pace would not even allow any communication to be had with her, and she left immediately for Buona Vista, one of the Cap de Verd islands. Here the whole ship's company was landed, all the stores taken out, as well as the water tanks, and the ship was thoroughly cleansed, fumigated, and whitewashed. But 31 of the officers and crew having died on shore in less than three weeks, it was determined, after an investigation by the medical officers of the Eclair and the Growler, which was at Buena ,Vista, that she should proceed imme diately to England. Before leaving Buona Vista, Mr. M'Clure, a surgeon of the navy, who was passenger on board the Growler, with seven seamen of that vessel, nobly volunteered their services on board the Eclair ; and Mr. M'Clure, it is to be regretted, fell a victim to his devotion to the public service. After leaving Buona Vista the fever did not abate, as might have been expected, when the vessel approached a more temperate climate. On the contrary, before she reached Madeira, Captain Estcourt and Mr. M'Clure both died, and one of the seamen who had volunteered from the Growler was attacked with the disease. At Madeira the authorities would allow of no communica tion from the Eclair, though they permitted Mr. Ber nard, a naval surgeon, and two seamen, who volunteered their services, to embark on b oar d of her. Mr. Bernard and the assistant-surgeon of the Eclair, Mr. Coffy, still remain on board the vessel at Stangate Creek. After leaving Madeira the disease continued as bad as ever. From the time of her leaving Buona Vista till she ar rived in England, she lost at the rate of almost one man per day. Two deaths occurred after her arrival at the Motherbank within the space of thirty-six hours, which elapsed before she was visited by the medical gentlemen mentioned above, and one fresh ase of fever appeared on the 20th. Considering these ci umstances, and par ticularly the fact that the fever still r retailed on board, it was thought necessary that the ship should be kept in quarantine, but that every means should be taken to provide for the wants and recovery of the men. She was accordingly immediately ordered to Stangate Creek, the usual quarantine station, and two hulks were placed at the service of her crew. Into one of them there who bad not had the fever were removed, and on board the other those who had been attacked and had recovered were placed. Fresh bedding and fresh provi sions, and everything which it was supposed could con tribute to the recovery or the comfort of the crew, were immediately supplied. Indeed, everything of that kind which was needed was sent to them at Portsmouth. Be- tween the 30th ult., when she was visited at Portsmouth, ant Friday, the date of the report, three more deaths had taken place ; but as no fresh case of fever had oc curred subsequent to the 29th, and there were only two patients confined,: to their hammocks, it was hoped that the progress of the disease was arrested. Besides these two, there were eleven of the crew convalescent, the remainder having either wholly escaped the fever, or had the disease and recovered. It is singular that of the forty-three Kroomen, taken on board at different pericds, and still on board the Eclair, not one was ever affected by the disease. NAVAL 11\ TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. s.—The Superb, 80, Captain Corry, will leave the harbour to•morrow; she would have left yesterday, but it blew too hard for her. The Amazone, I'russian corvette of 12 guns, Captain Baron Derchinck Holmfeldt, remains in the harbour, but will sail to-morrow for Dantsic. Yesterday the Baron gave a superb dejeiiner on board to a most bril liant and distinguished circle, comprising his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Prussia ; his Excel lency Count Schaffgot, Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Tuscany : Chevalier B. Hebeler, Prussian Consul• General ; Baron Thile, Secretary to the Prus sian Legation ; Count Arnim, Attacl4 ; M. Van den Bergh, Prussian Vice-Consul at Portsmouth, &c. Ad miral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, was invited, but did not attend. On the distinguished visitors going on board the yards were manned iu most excel lent style, and hearty cheers given, which ceremony was repeated on their leaving the vessel, when her noble captain received the congratulations of his visiters upon the order and efficiency of his ship, and the splendour of his entertainment. In corequence of this vessel having been brought into harbour on her arrival with her powder on board, all the pilots at this port have been since supplied by the Commissioners of .Pilotage with the printed instructions upon the subject, cautioning them of the consequences of a violation of those regulations. The Fairy Royal yacht tender, Master-Commander Roberts, went out of harbour yesterday morning round the Spit buoy and down the Solent for some short dis tance, to try a new description of screw, which, we are informed, was found to answer admirably. The Harlequin, 16, was undocked after the Superb was finished, to complete her refit for the pendant. The Carysfoot, 26, has received her masts, and is ready for commission. The Osprey, 12, Commander Patten, since she has been on the Ch;na station, has had trials of sailing with the flag• ship Agincourt, 72, the Vestal, 26, the Dredalus, 20, the 'Wolf, 18, the ,Cruiser, 16, and the Wolverine, 16 ; all of whom she beat. The Osprey was one of the experimental brigs built in this dockyard on the de s ign of Mr. Blake, the late master shipwright. The Albin steam troop-ship, Lieutenant-Commander Lowe, arrived at Pill, Bristol, on Wednesday, from Cork, for volunteers. _ _ _ The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, sailed on Tuesday from Cork with the 73d Regiment, for the Cape of Good Hope. 'The Formidable, 84, Captain Rich, sailed yesterday morning at daybreak for Chatham, to be paid off. The Racehorse, 16, Commander Hay, sailed from Si mon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, for New South Wales, on the 11th of July. 845, COURT CIRCULAR. wirmson, SUNDAY.—Yesterday morning the Queen Walked accompanying the Prince in the garden chair to Frogmore Muse, to pay an early visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The Royal Family weie taken their accustomed airings yesterday within the precincts of the Castle. Their Imperial Highnesses the Prince and Princess Peter of Oldenbourg arrived at the Castle yesterday. His Ex cellency the Baron de Emmy and the Earl of Aberdeen also arrived yesterday. The Princess, after partaking of luncheon with her Ma jesty, left the Castle on her return to town, attended by Mademoiselle Barteinuft, Dame d'Honncur. Her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent came to the Castle to visit the Queen, and joined the royal party at luncheon. His Imperial Highness remained to dinner, as also his aide-de-camp, Captain Muchanoff. Prince Peter of Oldenbourg visited the royal stables, and, after viewing the establishment, returned to the Castle. His Imperial Highness was attended by Colonels Bowles and Bouverie, and his aide-de-camp. The royal dinner party yesterday included Mr. George Edward and the Hon. Mrs. Anson. The band of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards was in at tendatce during dinner. Her Majesty's private band after wards attended at the Castle and performed the remainder of the evening. This morning the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Prince of Oldenbourg, went in a pony carriage to the royal gardens at Frogmore before church. The Royal Family were all taken their usual airings to-day. The Queen, Prince Albert, and the Prince of Oldenbourg, attended Divine service this morning in the private chapel of the Castle. The Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic household, also attended the service. The Hon. and Rev. C.

His Royal Highness Prince George arrived at his residence in St. James's Palace on Saturday evening, from a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at Whitley Court, Worcos t ersh ire. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial -office 'tom the Governor of Sierra Leone. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 4.—Considerable disappointment is ex pressed in the political circles in Ireland at the total ab sence of all allusion either to the new Colleges Bill or to the national system of education in the recent charge of the Archbishop of Armagh. Belfast will be selected for the site of the new Ulster College. O'Connor, the inspector of detective police in Dublin, whose outrageous conduct has been frequently the sub ject of comment, has been dismissed from Lis situation. MURDER.—On Tuesday evening, the 30th ult., between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, four fellows, all of whom were armed with bludgeons, enured tho house of a man named Sheedy of Garranbeg, about seven miles from Nenagh. .11i.hael—Ilitk—si, e — r i o with others, was sitting round the fire at the time. On the party entering they threw something on the fire which completely darkened the house ; they then com menced belabouring unfortunate Hill till they left him, as they conceived, dead. On the first blow being given, the persons who were sittini , round the fire ra n awa y. The deceased was afterwa r d s removed to his own house, which is next door to the oxe in which he had been beaten, and where he expired the following morning. The cause assigned for this daring act is that the de ceased refused to allow his brother to marry a young woman with whom an intimacy had existed. On Thursday an inquest was held on the body by James Carroll, Esq., Coroner. Joseph Tabuteau, Esq , S.M. ; Captain Pollock, R.M. ; and John Lewis, Esq, 5.1., were present. There was but one witness examined, who deposed to nothing more than what is narrated in the preceding paragraph. Edward Kitson, of Nenagh, EEq., M.D., made a pelt mortem examination of the body of deceased, and found the left side of the head completely smashed in, and the left arm very much contused, and which must have caused almost instantaneous death. ___ The jury returned a verdict of •' Wilful Murder against some persons at present unknown." Four fellows were taken up on suspicion. On the same day the steward of the Rev. Mr. Butsen was shot at Ballinaske, and a poor car driver was mur dered in the county of Monaghan by three villains with whom he had remonstrated for insulting a female. This was also on Tue:day. FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE TRiii.- SURY.—This morning about seven o'clock a most fearful oc currence took place at the works now going on at the Trea sury and the other Government offices. The men were just about to commence their work at the top of the building, which is sixty or seventy feet from the ground, when one of the masons, named George Wildey, living at 51, St. George's road, Southwark, by some means slipped from the roof, and fell with dreadful violence the whole height, being in his fall struck with great force against the stupendous scaffold ing which is erected all round the offices. He was picked up and conveyed on a shutter to the Westminster Hospital, where it was found he bad expired as he was being taken. Nearly all his ribs were broken, his left arm and leg, and there appears to be considerable injury on the head. This is the first accident of a serious character that has occurred at these works. Yoax, SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 4.—The rain has been falling in torrents for three days, with but little in termission. There has been another slip on the Scarborough line ; fortunately it happened with a ballast train. Last night's train could not get nearer to Scarborough than Mel ton. An engine that had been sent from Scarborough to bring it forward got off the line, in consequence of some re pairs that were taking place, the men not being made aware that an engine might be expected; consequently, the nine o'clock train could not leave Scarborough this morning. There was an immense number of passengers, and a great deal of grumbling, in the station. One lady insisted that she must go, for she had spent all her money in. Scarborough except what would merely pay her fare. One of the officials administered consolation by telling her that it would be better for her to starve a while than get her neck broken. A gentleman insisted on their going because his gig was waiting for him at York. Another lady said that she had been so long awayfrom her babies, that they must take her to York. The powers, however, were immoveable—the train could not start till twelve, and perhaps not even then. Among the disappointed was Mr. l ilson, the vocalist, who, having to sing in Harrogate this evening, immediately took a post chaise and left Scarborough. The train started at half-past twelve, and took many passengers away; but the line is sadly damaged by the rain, and the embankment, in many places, washed away to such an extent as is anything but pleasant for passengers to look upon. The country is all under water from the excess of rain that has fallen. There is a great deal of corn out yet, many fields of which are floating in water. They are tardy in this quarter i n th e i r h arvest operations. A few days ago I saw a field of wheat dead ripe, with two men and a boy only to re a p it ! Th e scene at Melton last night was harassing in the extreme. The pas sengers had to sit in the carriage for two hours, the train not being able to move, and at last they wended their way, as well as they could, to Mahon, where accommodation was anxiously sought after for the night. Everything that could be done for the comfort of the passengers under the circum stances was zealously performed by the clerks and other offi cials at Melton station. Such accidents, however, should not happen.—From a Correspondent. Te Quarterly Accounts of the Revenue will again be before the public on Saturday next, the 11th inst. Of course the precise amounts cannot be known until the returns are finally made up ; but we feel that we may fairly anticipate a very large deficiency under the bead of Cus toms as compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year, owing to the extensive reduction in the sugar duties, and the other alterations in the tariff. In addition to these causes of a deficiency in the quarterly customs receipts, it should be borne in mind that in 1844 duties were paid on a very large quantity of foreign corn, amounting to about 450,000 quarters, while the quantity in 1845 is under 80,000 quarters. We shall be much surprised, however, if the Excise returns do not exhibit a far different result, for information derived from various sources assures us that this branch of the public revenue is steadily ad • vancing, notwithstanding the abolition of the glass and auction duties, which together produced about 1,000,000/. per annum. Should our information prove correct, as we have little doubt it will, what gratifying evidence it will afford of the improving condition of the country, of the in creased employment, prosperity, and comf or t s o f t h e peop l e; for on this point the consumption of excisable articles has ever been deemed perhaps the surest test. On all the other items of the public revenue we may safely anticipate a gene ral, though not very extensive improvement. —Observer. LASCAR SEAMEN.—The Merchant Seamen's Act passed last session, which obliges captains or owners of yes. sels trading to and from the East Indies—who may take a number of the natives or Lascars on board to navigate the vessel, or assist in doing so, in room of the regular seamen who may have become diseased, sick, or dead, in places abroad, in consequence of the heat or unhealthiness of the climate—to keep them after their arrival in the British port, both in food and clothing, and also provide them with room in the same or another vessel, in order to enable them to return to their native country, is beginning to manifest itself, and the merits of the provisions made for the benefit of the poor foreigners, who were formerly in many instances dis charged after their arrival, or as soon as their services could be dispensed with, to wander about the streets in a state of extreme destitution and suffering, and become a burden and disgrace to the country, are already very apparent. Notwith standing the very great number of vessels which have arrived in this port from the East Indies and other hot climates, where it is necessary for captains to avail themselves of the services of these poor natives, within the last few days not a single Lascar is to be seen in the streets, wandering about in search of food and other necessaries, as used so often to be the case, and which was so much to be deplored. The men are in every instance retained on board and victualled according to the usual ship's rations and customs of their native country. So striking a proof of the usefulness of the Act alluded to and its beneficial results, now that it is sully in operation, cannot be too much appreciated by every cha ritable and honourably disposed person. AIaRYLEBONE VESTRY. Last Saturday, Mr. Flood, the vestry clerk, read the report of the auditors ap pointed to examine the income and expenditure of the work - house, which was extremely satisfactory, and stated that in every department of the workhouse the utmost attention was paid to the comforts, health, and happiness of the in mates, who themselves acknowledged with gratitude their treatment. Mr. Flood then road a communication from the directors and guardians of the poor, containing their reply to the Poor-law Commissioners, who expressed . a determination to unite Marylebone with other parishes 311 the erection of district asylums. The directors azn guar dians stated that the extent of the parish and populationi t t h s ie discretionary proposed of 140,000, entitled it to an exemption from the union, and that the Commissioners possesstetd of power to exclude it, and that even the A implied that aijlebone, and all other parishes possessing means to provide for theesd destitute and houseless, should be excluded from a union lother parishes. They then . de nounced district asylums wit imsasso many inducements for bad characters and lazy vagabonds to . migrate . from agricultu ra l districts to cities and towns ; and in conclusion, stated that the oath which they had taken as directors and gua r di ans of the poor to maintain the local government of the parish prevented them submitting to the proposed union ; b ut drat if the Poorl-aw Commissioners insisted upon asylums for the destitute being erected, independent of the work house, that they wood build them in their own parish. Messrs. Gomm, Michie, Wilson, Hodgkinson, and Calder, spoke in the highest terms of this " able and unan swerable document," and also in the most unqualified manner condemned the proposed plan of district asylums. The answerief the directors and guardians of the poor was received and adopted, and entered upon the minutes of the vestry. LOuis Philippe drove into Paris from St. Cloud on Friday, and granted audiences to several persons. His Ma jesty appeared to enjoy excellent begitti.- EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF FORGERY. Two foreigners, the one named Kitta 8011, aged 29, and the other Peter Sehntiul, aged 38, were brought be fore the Lord Mayor, on Saturday, in the custody of John and Daniel Forrester, the officers, charged by Mr. Kearsey, of the house of lluges, Kearsey, and Morti mer, solicitors of the Norwegian Consul, with having committed a most serious offence--viz., being in posses sion of papers containing forgeries of the bank-notes of Norway. Mr. Kearsey, in detailing the circumstances, stated that it was impossible to conjecture what extent of mis chief would have been perpetrated if the prisoners had not been detected in making the necessary preparations fur carrying their iniquitous scheme into execution. Mr. F. J. Wightman, of No. 9, Little Queen street, Holborn, engraver, stated that [Cnut 801 l called at his office on the 27th of September, and brought a packet which he said contained paints, and in it appeared some article of ornamental workmanship. 801 l expressed a wish to have an exact fac-simile of the ornamental work engraved on copper-plate, and gave particular instructions that every fine line should be precisely the same as the original produced. Witness worked the order, and 801 l called on the Tuesday evening and received the plate, and wished for an impression on paper. As the printer was gone, witness told him that he should have an impression next day. On Thursday morning 801 l called again, got an impression, and took the plate, for which he paid a guinea. In the afternoon of the same day, 13011 called again, and said the lion's nose in the embellishments was too sharp, the paper was too dark, and the impression too strong. He wished some corrections to be made. Witness made the re quired alterations, and 801 l was to call on Friday morn ing. 801 l at that interview gave witne>s an order for three brass stamps with projecting letters, and deposited 1/. with him, desiring him to be very particular. The price witness was to have was 41., and 801 l said he should have several other things for witness to do, and he hoped witness would do them well. When witness saw " Norges Bank " on some of the pieces of paper which 801 l had given him to copy, and that money was con cerned, be suspected that something was wrong, and he communicreed with the Norwegian Consul on the sub ject. lie amended the plate according to the order he received, and 801 l was satisfied with the performance. Witness next saw him that Saturday morning, when he called for the plate, and was takes into custody. Wit ness believed he had seen the two prisoners together, but could not swear to Schmidt. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that he, in com pany with his brother, went that morning to Mr. Wight man's house, and looked through the window in the par. lour into the shop. when 801 l was there. Witness then f came by a private door into the street, leaving his brother in the parlour, and saw the prisoner Schmidt in Little Queen-street. When Bull came out of the shop he was joined by Schmidt, and they crossed the street and went into Great Queen-street, leading to Lincoln's Inn. 801 l appeared to take some thing from his side-pocket, and when witness approached closer to them he observed a brown paper parcel in Bell's hand. In that brown paper was a plate, and witness immediately took bold of the plate, and as 801 l strongly resisted, witness's hand was cut with the edge of the plate. Subsequently witness found in Boll's pocketbook four pieces of paper, which are imitations of certain portions of an original Norwegian bank -note. 801 l said he lived at No. 34, Gloucester-street, Queen-square, wrote down that address, and Schmklt wrote down ditto, ditto. Wit ness afterwards went to the address, and was shown the room in which the prisoners slept, and in which there were two beds. He there found a bunch of keys, one of which opened a shaving-case, in part of which he put his hand upon a piece of a Norwegian bank-note, and a little bit of paper. Mr. Kearsey said the morsel of paper produced by the officer would be found, in the future investigation, to be of great importance. WM. Thomas Newell stated that he was in the employ ment of Mr. T. H. Saunders, Cloak-lane, stationer and paper-manufacturer. He had seen both prisoners be fore ; he first saw 801 l on the 10th of September. 801 l called with a female, who said that she came to interpret for him, as he did not understand th e l anguage. 8 0 1 l produced patterns or specimens of an article, and asked whether witness could imitate them. He replied that he could. The patterns were in white paper, and appended to them was a piece of pink paper, the colour of ordinary blotting paper, in which colour 801 l said thefac-similes were to be done. Witness told him the order would require time, and he was to call next day to know the expense. He did call on the 11th. Witness gave him the plate, and he agreed to pay 41. 10s. for the moulds, and sixty shillings a ream for five reams, or 2.400 sheets. [lt appeared that each of the sheets would constitute a spurious note fur 100 dollars, or about 251. in English money.] Witness pro ceeded—Boll gave him 5Z on account. The whole were to be ready in fourteen days. 801 l called on the 27th of Sep tember, but was informed the paper was not ready. On the following Tuesday he called again, and stated to the witness that there was an error in the water mark, which must be corrected. He then ordered the 0 in the water-mark to be altered into a C, and marked the paper as he wished this alteration to be made. Witness told him the paper was useless at that rate, and must be paid for and he admitted it and consented. 801 l called again on the ensuing Thursday to know if the mould was ready, and said witness must proceed immediately with 1,300, and he expressed a desire for another alteration, and pointed out an extremely minute one, stating at the same time .that the colour of the paper was not exact, and that the paper itself was too stout. 8011, upon that occasion handed to witness a small bit of paper as a sample, which he told witness must be taken particular care ot, and be returned. 801 l then paid 10/, on account, wrote down the name of 8011, and gave witness an order for 1,300 sheets, to be ready by the next Thursday. Daniel Forrester here stated that he told 8011, upon taking him into custody, that he must account to the Norwegian Consul why ho got the plate engraved, anti 801 l replied that he had met a Mr. Santag of flamburgh at a cart% who had given him the order to get the engraving done. He did not know where Mr. Santag lived. Mr. William Sot tu, of No. 2, Crosby- square,Vice- Consul for Norway stated that he had been resident in Norway and in Sweden. He was in the habit of having in his pos session Norwegian notes. The currency money was principally in paper. The notes of different amounts were printed or engraved on differently coloured paper. The four dollar note was upon white piper, and was simple looking. The ten dollar note was upon yellow paper. The fifty dollar note was upon green paper, and the 100 dollar note was upon pink paper, resembling blotting-paper in colour. These notes necessarily changed colour by passing through a variety of hands. Witness could speak as to the authenticity of an original Norwegian note. From his official position he was acquainted with the royal arms of Norway. They consisted of a shield sur mounted by a crown, upon which was alien rampant,:with a crown on his head and a battle-axe in his paws, in the act of striking. [Here the witness identified the arms of Nor way on a genuine note of that country.] From his know lege of the laws of Norway, he could state that the pos session of an imitation of the genuine note was an offence punishable by its laws.—(The witness here produced the code of Norwegian laws, from which he stated it was evident the offence was most heavily punished.) Mr. Kearsey then requested that the Lord Mayor would remand the prisoners for some days. They both expressed a hope that the remand wuld not be for any length of time, as they were both very anxious to be at liamburgh next week.—Remanded. THE HEALTH OF HER MAJESTY.—There is every probability of an addition to the Royal Family of England in the course of the ensuing spring. This important national event is expected to take place about the month of March or April next. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY IN THE SERPENTINE. — On Saturday forenoon a protracted inquiry was held before Mr. Bedford, the co r o ner , an d a hi g hl y respec t a ble jury, at the Malpas Arms Tavern, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, touching touching the death of a female apparentlye about years under o t fh the following awhoseiving body circumstances:l-as found i The h j Serpentine b i o i v al.in 4 be River. en sworn, proceeded with . the m c e o u ro n n t- e s r tr t e o et t , he te d u :id: ew ho t u h s e e g o bed f George's workhouse, in which was that of a fine made young woman, and d resse d ac Goiee,•- «'hito ,„, rwiinct, trimmed with pink an d white ribbon, a drab shawl with red figured border, coloured gown, her linen was marked " 141.

CIIUR C II RATES IN LEA MINGTON.—The deter mined resistance offered by some of our fellow-townsmen to the payment of church-rates, has, we -regret to state, compelled the parochial authorities to sein_the goods of the resisting individuals.
