FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 13.—A fair average business has been done in foreign wools this week, and prices continue very firm. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 13.—We have no material alteration in the prices of wool this week, the sales being much as usual. LEEDS.—There has been rather less business done in heavy winter goods this week, but shawls and fancy cloakings in good patterns have been in brisk demand. Heavy tweeds have also been much inquired for; on the whole the market may be rated at a fair average for the season. Prices are about the same, and the stocks in the Halls are very low. In the warehouses there has not been quite so much business done as for the last few weeks, but it is expected that sales will be more lively towards the end of the present month. BRADFORD MARKET, TRURSRAT.—The home mer chants have been active to-day, the foreign merchants not so, but upon the whole we think there has been a fair business done, but not equal to some former years at this season. We cannot learn that there is any alte ration either in demand or prices of yarn since our last week's repOrt. The dullness complained of in wool for several weeks past still continues, nor can we learn that the stock in the market is on the decrease. Prices are tolerably firm, which is occasioned by the fact that no new stock can be had from the growing districts on more favourable terms than those on which they are now held. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EYNNING.—Things have been rather drooping in our cloth market this week, and that for moat descriptions ; and as the commercial news has not transpired by the delivery of letters, little can be hazarded for the future as to the goods adapted for those markets till the contents are known. Our home trade is most satisfactory, so far as demand can make it so ; and our printers and dyers were never more busy. The opinion is becoming general that wages throughout the cotton district will be advanced. Yarns are without de cided change, but, an immense business is doing.—Leeds Mercury. THE LATE FATAL COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL. With reference to the loss of the brig Parana, which was run down by the steamer Iron Duke on Tuesday morning, an account of which has been published in The Sun, the Dublin Evening Mail publishes the fol lowing : " We subjoin a particular account of the accident. The letter is addressed to Mr. Howell, the Secretary of the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, by the agent in Liverpool. " Liverpool, Sept. 10. " Dear Sir,—lt is with sincere regret I have to in form you the Iron Duke came in contact this morning, about 10 minutes past 12, when off Puffin Island, with a brig, the Parana, Wilson, for Montreal, and run her down ; six hands, including the captain, perished. I understand there was a boy belonging to Dublin, of the name of Crawford, on board of her. " The Duke appears to have struck her right stem on, and must have cut her nearly in two. Th• brig went down immediately, a few minutes only intervening from the time she was first seen to the time she was struck and sunk. " The Duke appears to have sustained comparatively little damage ; her bowsprit is gone, a plate on her lar board bow stove in, which caused the force compartment to fill with water ; her cutwater bent, and her engine damaged. " ' 1 cannot learn that any further damage has been sustained all seems as tight and . firm as the first day she started. _ _ _ " The bulkhead shows the value of adopting such precautions, for it is very probable that had she not had them she would have gone down. " The Duke was put en the gridiron to see whether all was right, but as it will be more convenient to hare her in the graving dock, she will go in to-morrow, no time being lost to repair the damage with all possible dispatch. " I hare had all the crew who could say anything about the accident, with Mr. North, for him to take their depositions. All concur in stating the brig had no light up, the only light on board being that in the cabin. " One cause, and, perhaps, the chief one, assigned on board the Duke for not being able to see the brig is, that the vessel was going right before the wind, with the smoke thick before them, and it was only when she came within five or six lengths of herself that the brig was seen. Our look-out man, a most in telligent fellow, passed the word immediately " Sail right a-head," when the second mate, whose watch it was, cried out to the man at the helm " Fort, port — hard a-port," a seaman running aft to assist at the same time. The mate, almost in the same breath, called out to the engineer "Stop her, reverse," and while the engines were being reversed she struck her. The first mate came up instantly, and when he saw the brig was sicking fast he called out " Stop her, go on-a-head," by which they providentially saved one or two men. Captain Williams, too, was immediately on deck, and all appears to have been done which could be done under the unfortunate circumstances, as to putting the boats out to look after the crew of the sunken ship, and rowing about the place for nearly an hour.—Yours truly, " J. K. ROUNTH WAITE. " To P. Howell, Esq.' " WOOLWICH, FRIDAY. RETURN OF THE BLACK EAGLE STEAM-VESSEL.+ It will be recollected that, in the description of the royal progress, the Black Eagle steam-vessel, under the command of Captain the Earl of Hardwicke, was stated to be several miles astern of the royal yacht on reaching the Nore. On proceeding to sea, Cap tain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence made signals for the Black Eagle to advance, and delayed the progress of the royal steam yacht until both were opposite each other. His Lordship then made signals to start both at the same time, to ascertain which of the vessels would first reach Dundee. The Black Eagle soon showed her superiority over the royal yacht as a sea-going steamer, having gained three miles in six hours against her fast opponent. The Black Eagle continued a-head at the same rate throughout the voyage, and consequently was the first to reach the Frith of Tay and Dundee. The Black Eagle re turned to Woolwich shortly before ten o'clock this forenoon, under the command of Captain the Earl of Hardwicke. MILITARY FLOGGlNG.—Yesterday morning, at a quarter to seven o'clock, the troops were mustered on the garrison parade to hear the proceedings of a general court-martial read against -two gunners of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, named Smith and , the crimes alleged against them being, that of striking a non-commissioned officer of the same regiment whilst in the' execution of his duty; also, desertion, selling, beir regimental necessaries, and rubbing a comrade. The prisoners were found guilty of the charges preferred against them, and were sen tenced to receive one hundred and fifty lashes each, the finding of which sentence her Majesty finally ap proved of. The troops were then marched off to the rear of the Royal Artillery barracks, where the un fortunate men were ordered to strip, and were then tied up to the triangles, and the horrors of the scene commenced. The unfortunate culprits received the number awarded them without imploring mercy, though their sufferings were truly awful to behold. The men were then conveyed to the Ordnance Medi cal Hospital to be cured. A number of other gun ners of the Royal Artillery, who had been tried by court-martial for offences, were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment in the Penitentiary, and were marched off under escort for that destination. ENGLISH AND FOREIGN RAILWITS.—III the evi dente before the Select Committee of last session, Mr. Laing, of the Board of Trade, stated that the average railway charges in Belgium, for 100 miles, are for the first, second, and third-classes respectively, 10s., 7s. 6d., and 4s. Bd. ; in Germany, 125., Bs. 6d., and ss. 6d. ; in France, 155., 10s., and Bs. 6d. ; and in England, 255.. 175., and 10s. As one cause of the comparatively high rate in Englund, he states that the average cost of rail ways in this country is three or four times that of the German lines ; double that of the Belgian, and greater by one-half than the cost of the French. Mr. Laing is of opinion that the advantage is in favour of the Eng lish in regard to speed ; but that in point of accommo dation the second and third-class passengers in Belgium, and on the Continent generally, have the decided advan tage over those of the same classes in England.—Railway Record. PREVENTION OF INFECTION FROM TYPHUS FEVER. —Dr. J. C. Smith obtained 5,0001. from Parliament for the following receipt :—Take six drachms of powdered nitre (saltpetre) and six drachms of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol), mix them in a teacup. By adding one drachm of the oil at a time, a copious discharge of nitrous acid gas will take place. The cup to be placed, during the preparation, on a list hearth, or plate of heated iron, and the mixture stirred with a tobacco pipe. The quantity of gas may be regulated by lessening or increasing the quantity of ingredients. The above is for a moderate sized room ; half the quantity would be sufficient fur a small room. Avoid as much as possible breathing the gas when it first rises from the vessel. No injury to the lungs will happen when the air is impregnated with the gas, which is called nitrous acid gas, and it cannot be too widely known that it posseses the property of pre venting its !Tread. AWFUL THUNDER•STORIL—On Thursday, the sth instant, St. Austell and its surrounding neighbourhood were visited by a severe thunder-storm, which came on about noon ;, but there was an appearance of thunder at a distance for some hours before. The thunder was loud, the lightning vivid, and the storm, which appeared to come from the south-east, continued until about four o'clock, when it passed away in the opposite direction. The electric fluid struck a dwelling-house at Tregonissey, about a mile distant from St. Austell, occupied by a man named Richard Rowett, and in its course went through the roof, destroyed the wood work of a bed, and then passed to the ground floor, where it destroyed the clock, set fire to a rush mat at the bottom of the stairs, and so severe was the shock, that it threw down and smashed all the earthenware that stood on the dressers. It then made its way through the window, destroying all the glass, except two squares, which remained unhurt, struck the pig -sty, and killed the pig, which was worth about forty shillings. Rowett, who has a wife and two children, was at his work, his wife and the oldest child were in the garden, a little distance from the house, and the youngest child was in a cradle in the kitchen. They all escaped unhurt ; but a man who was looking out of the doorway of an adjoining barn was thrown to the'ground on his face, and stunned, but received no further in jury. Some kind friend has drawn up a brief for the poor man, which he is now taking round among a few persons, to help him to restore his loss, which is esti mated to be about 124 West Briton.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 12:—The dinner to Mr. O'Con nell and his late fellow-prisoners, is to take place at the Music-hall, Abbey-street, on Thursday, the 19th instant. William Smith O'Brien, M.P., is to preside. The entertainment will be upon A splendid scale. Already several hundred tickets have been issued, many of them to gentlemen residing in distant parts of the country. Most of the mayors and leading members of the Irish corporations are to attend. The Roman Catholic prelates have been invited, and it is stated that invitations will also be forwarded to the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Miltown, Lords Stourton and Ffrench, Mr. T. Duncombe M.P., Mr. Serle (brother-in-law t o th e E ar l o f Shrewsbury), and Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham. POPULAR REJOICINGS. The provincial papers received this morning con tain additional accounts of public rejoicings for the release of Mr. O'Connell. No public event ever pro duced more general joy. In the remotest districts the people regard the reversal of the judgment as a great triumph for themselves, and they rejoice ac cordingly. LORVFORTESCITE.—At Somerville, in this county, the house of this nobleman was illuminated on Friday night, awl the noble Lord himself caused a large bonfire to be lighted ! This is another sign of the times.— Waterford Chronicle. THE ARMY FORTIFICATIONS. LIMERICK, N VDNESDAY.—Major-General Lord Downes will embark to-morrow, in the Flamer, Com mander Postle, to inspect the fortifications in the river, and to visit the Cyclops steam-ship, Captain Lapidge, at Tarbert. Captain Gierson's company of the 15th Regiment left this yesterday for Caher Castle, with Lieutenant Wilkinson and Ensign Walmsley, to be there stationed, in relief of Captain Clarke's company, 77th, which returns to Clonmel. Four companies of the 15th Regiment in this garri son are held in readiness for country detachment, it is supposed to replace an equal force of the 30th. FRIGHTFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. The Castlebar Telegraph contains the following melancholy statement :—About three months ago a boy named Michael Colerare, aged twelve years , and son to a tenant of George Moon, Esq., Moore went out to herd some sheep that were grazing in his father's field at Millerhill, near the abbey of Ballin tubber. On getting into the field, the boy perceived a large dog attacking a sheep ; he went to drive it off, but the dog, which was raging mad, flew at, and bit him in the hand. The boy immediately ran home and told his mother of the occurrence. She being under the impression that sea-bathing would prevent any evil consequences, brought him without• delay to the salt water, and besides making him bathe, caused him to drink of it plentifully. At length, the wound on his hand being healed, both the boy and his mother returned home. There were no symptoms of any bad effects from the bite until last Sunday week, when the boy, while attending mass at the Abbey of Ballintubber, suddenly felt a thrilling sensation run from his hand to the shoulder, as if he had struck his elbow against the wall. The painful thrill continued to extend until it had soon spread itself over his entire frame. The boy became conscious himself that he was in fected by hydrophobia ; yet he was at intervals col lected in his intellect, during which time he received from the Rev. E. O'Malley the sacrament of confes sion. He told the clergyman that he could not en dure the appearance of any liquid, that his chest was internally burning with a fierce heat ; but that if a wheaten straw were got, and one end of it immersed in a vessel of water concealed from his view, he might contrive to drink it through the tube of the straw. This was accordingly prepared; but each drop of the liquid he imbibed was received (judging by the heavy agitation of his chest) as if it had been burning lead. Excepting the convulsed horror he evinced on the appearance or idea of any liquid, he continued sen sible for a long time, and told his mother that he was aware he would soon die ; that he would get violent, and to tie him, lest he should do any injury, but not to bleed him to death, as had been done in the village about twelve months previously to another person affected with hydrophobia. At length the madness reached its crisis, black froth and curdled blood foamed from his mouth, and he died in an awful paroxysm of violence and excitement." TUE - FRENCH IN ALGERIA. ORA N, Auo. 20. —The expeditionary column of the French army is still at Ouehda, the frontier town of Morocco on the north-east ; Marshal Bugeaud, who commands this column, is still there. No events of im portance have transpired since I last wrote to you. The total force of the Marshal's column is 501 officers, 19,490 men, 3,824 horses, and 1,365 mules. This includes the whole of the two regiments of cavalry which have been so long arriving. I think these two regiments were six weeks getting from Port Vendres to gran. With this force it is quite impossible the Marshal can march to Fez ; and if no reinforcements arrive, the Marshal will with great difficulty be able to maintain his present posi tion, with his sick daily and hourly increasing. There are, however, besides, the camps of Sebdon, Lalla Maghrania, and Gemmia-el-Ghazaouat, which alto gether could muster perhaps 25,000 or 26,000 men ; but troops cannot be drawn from those places without leaving the country exposed and defenceless. A proof of which is, that a few days ago the poor Arabs who had been razziaed near Sebdon, like so many famished wolves, came down and fell upon - SO French soldiers who were pasturing sheep and bullocks, killed 15, wounded the rest, and carried off the booty. None can deny the justice of this retribution. It was not the rob bers robbed, but the spoilers spoiled righteously. Not withstanding the small number of the expeditionary co lumn, it is confidently reported " that the Marshal will proceed to Fez in October," but of course with the ne cessary reinforcements. ,First of all, however, Marshal Bugeaud will return to Algiers to attend to the civil af fairs of the colony. The new Directeur de t Interieur arrived — here yesterday, on his way to visit, or meet, the Marshal. Some important measures are about to be taken for the improvement of the civil affairs of the co lony, which are now, and always have been, in a very bad state. The health of the civil population of this place is sa tisfactory enough ; but Algiers is in a very precarious state. Without great caution, people are suddenly seized with fevers—they know not why nor wherefore. It is a remarkable fact, however, that before the arrival of the French, dise ase , exce pt the ordinary casualties of life, was almost unknown. It is certainly a well-ascer tained fact, that there is no such thing as periodic mala dies (as now in Algeria) in the neighbouring country of Morocco. In the moment of closing my letter I learnt that the Marshal has suspended hostilities on the frontier, and that something like a truce had been agreed upon be tween the son of the Emperor, Sidi Mohammed, and Marshal Bugeaud. This news was brought by the Co lonel of the Spahis and some Arabs. • The Marshal will embark immediately at Gemmaa-el- Ghazaouat for Oran, and may be expected here to• morrow or next day. We may imagine that the late defeat of the Moors, and the critical position of the Marshal at this season, have equally lead to this result of suspending hostilities. All the merchant-ships here are put in request for the carriage of provisions to the camp, via Gemmita-el- Gha zaouat. A good number of the cavalry is to be quar tered near this place until the new operations, expected to commence again in October. Can the Arabs understand a truce ? Will it not be soon broken ? SEPTEMBER 3. Marshal Bugeaud arrived early this morning from Gemmaa-el-Ghazaouat. He leaves this evening for Algiers. Ouchda has been evacuated. The camp of Lalla Dfaghrania, which is well fortified, is now the head quarters of the French on the frontiers of Morocco. This camp, it must not be forgotten, is, however, on the disputed territory. General Bedeau commands here with a few thousand men, perhaps 6,000. Marshal Bugeaud, who has really retreated from the frontier, has formed a camp of 8,000 men at Geramia-el-Ghazaouat, and has given the command to General de Lamoriciare. The camp is situate on the sea shore, and it is intended that the men shall endeavour to recruit their health and spirits here by bathing, &c., waiting the result of nego tiations. It appears, however, that the enemy has dis appeared from their frontier, so that it were almost mad ness to stay there and kill off the men, the Marshal not having sufficient force to march into the interior of Mo rocco. The Spahis of Oran are to be reinforced by those of Algiers ; but beyond this we hear nothing of reinforce ment—nothing of the arrival of fresh troops from France. We may now, then, conclude the campaign on the frontiers of Morocco to be ended until October, when, if things are not arranged, we may suppose the Marshal intends returning, and making another demonstration on the Moorish territory, or of marching upon Fez. In the meanwhile, we cannot say that the French will not be again attacked. I have, nevertheless, in a letter written to you, via Gibraltar, stated that the French were the real and bona ft 'de aggressors in this campaign. They went upon the disputed territory and excited the Moors, and I have no doubt when the passions of the people of Europe are sufficiently calmed down, I shall be able to convince them _. • - of this statement. I wish you would also have the Christian charity to remind the apologists of the Gaizot Ministry that there is equally a war party in Morocco, and that, like Louis Philippe, who cannot, it would seem, control this fierce element, Muley Abderrabman is obliged to get up a wa r to please and gratify his pugnacious subjects. W e might, however, abstain from observations of this sort, if Louis Philippe's people only damaged their own coun try and interests. But the feeding of the voracious appetite of the war party must inflict an injury upon all Europe. Now comes the most serious affair. We have given you the victories ; you must now have the drawbacks— ah, horrid drawbacks. And yet I know not what would become of mankind were it not for such drawbacks. They cure men of war. Yesterday 500 sick came from Gemmtla el-Ghazaouat. The poor fellows were dried up with the sun like Egyp tian mummies. The greater pat of these miserable beings must inevitably perish. They formed a dreadful train of sixty waggons. In a day or two 600 more sick are expected from Tlemcen. The hospital of Oran is the receiving hospital of all the province. Every camp of course has its hospital. Here, then, we have 1,100 sick all at once thrown in upon us ! The number of deaths during this Moorish campaign has been also ex ceedingly great. Thus, though the French may have lost only one sixth of killed and wounded in the battle of Isly which the Moors lost, they will lose now by sickness and disease six times the number which the Moors are re ported to have lost. And so it is in all the campaigns of .Africa. And this it is which renders the French war in Algeria really a dreadful war, and, if not without honour, at any rate without profit, and without any prospect of good to the human race in this part of the world.— Times. HOW to LIVE on NINE SHILLINGS A WEEK. Every man's income is limited more or less ; and he must limit his expenditure accordingly. Thus, he may be forced to content himself with a house of a rent not exceeding 2,0001. a year, with no greater number of servants than a dozen, with six horses and no more; with but two carriages ; with turtle, venison, champagne, and burgundy, only now and then ; with a middling box at the Opera, and so on. 9s. a week is a decidedly limited income. To live upon it a man must first cut down his expenditure to the fewest possible branches, and secondly, apply the closest shaving to each. They can hardly be reduced below three—food, clothes, and lodging ; but if anybody could do without one of these, the difficulty would be much simplified. As to lodging. The cheapest to be had must be chosen : the more unpleasant the situa tion the better, as the rent will then be more reason able. A roadside hovel, or a ruinous old house up a court, may be recommended. A single room, how ever small, must suffice for a whole family, however large. Chairs, tables, bedsteads, and other moveables, may be dispensed with ; the entire furniture should consist of a few blankets and some straw ; and the blankets ought to be begged. Coals and candles are too expensive; and it is extravagant to have any fire at all, except to cook a few potatoes, or to avoid being frozen to death. With regard to clothes. These must be obtained, if possible, through charity; there is another way of getting them, which it would be hardly right to hint at. By a proper economy they may be made to last till they fall to pieces, which they will not altogether do for years. If it is neces sary to buy clothes, they must be bought ; but th e purchase should only include indispensables. Shirts and stockings are superfluities; and the younger children may always, and the..whold family at times, manage to do without shoes. Food must be con fined, in general, to bread and potatoes; but perhaps, with managment, a little bacon may be indulged in now and then. It will be out of the question to think of any other drink than the plain water; and tea and sugar are luxuries not to be dreamt of. By following the above rules it is perhaps possible to live honestly on 9s. a week, with a wife and family. Medical attendance is out of the question. What are called comforts must be considered unattainable; for any man, even though starving and perishing, to help himself to a meal, a handful of wood, or anything of the kind, is highly immoral ; the law respects not persons but property, and severely visits such wicked ness.—Punch. PUNCH'S CHARGE TO JURIES. Gentlemen of the Jury,—You are sworn in all cases to decide according to the evidence; at the same time, if you have any doubt, you are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of it. Suppose you have to pronounce on the guilt or innocence of a gentle man accused of felony. You will naturally doubt whether any gentleman would commit such offences ; accordingly, however strong may be the testimony against him, you will, perhaps, acquit him. The evidence of your owe senses is, at least, as credible as that of the witnesses ; if, therefore, your eyesight convinces you that the prisoner is a well-dressed person, you have a right to presume his respectability; and it is for you to say whether a respectable person would be likely to be guilty of the crimes imputed to him. In like manner, when you see a shabby-look .ing fellow in the dock, charged, for example, with sheep-stealing, the decision rests with you; first, whether or not that individual is a ragamuffin ; and, secondly, how far it is probable that a man of that description would steal sheep. Of course, as has been before said, you will always be guided by the evi dence ; but then, whether the evidence is trustworthy or not is a matter for your private consideration. You may believe it if you choose, or you may dis believe it; and whether, gentlemen of the jury, you will believe it or disbelieve it, will depend on the con stitution of your minds. If your minds are so con stituted that you wish to find the prisoner guilty, perhaps you will believe it; if they happen to be so constituted that you desire to find him not guilty— why then, very likely, you will disbelieve it. You are to free your minds from all passion and prejudice, if you can, and, in that case, your judgment will be unbiassed; but if you cannot, you will return a verdict accordingly. It is not, strictly speaking, for you to consider what will be the effect of your verdict; but if such a consideration should occur to you, and you cannot help attending to it, that verdict will be influenced by it to a certain extent. You are probably aware, that when you retire, you will be locked up till you contrive to agree. You may arrive at unanimity by fair discussion, or by some of you starring out the others, or by tossing up ; and your conclusion, by whichever of these processes arrived at, will be more or less in accordance with your oaths. Your verdict may be right; it is to be hoped it will; it may be wrong; it is to be hoped it will not. At all events, gentlemen of the jury, you will come to some conclusion or other ; unless it should so happen that you separate without coming to any.—Punch. PILCHARD FISHERY. PORTLOE.—The drivers still continue to take some fish, and the seans have made some small catches. _ LOOT.-Since our last report, one Sean has brought in five hogsheads, and another twenty-six hogsheads. They were all sold at .ss. per flasket. The drift boats have done very little for the last several days. CRAniAsTows.—On Monday forenoon, all the scans shot, and caught from . ten to twenty maunds each of small fish, which were sold at 2s. 6d. per flasket. MouNT's BAY.—No pilchards have been taken this week by the scans, and very few by the drift boats. ST. IVES.—Several shoals of pilchards have been seen in the bay during the week, but in too deep water to be taken.— West Briton. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A report has pre vailed that the South-Western Company intended to carry on a branch from Salisbury to this city. We be lieve we have authority to state that the intention has been abandoned. Mr. Locke, the engineer has been sur veying the country west of Yeovil, during the past week, with a ♦iew of extending the South-Western line to Exeter. But he found the difficulties of the country so great, that the Directors will not, this year, attempt to carry their lino further than Yeovil.—Western Times. CREWKERNE.—PINNY POSTAGE.—Me have plea sure in stating that, through the exertions of two pro fessional gentlemen, a subscription amounting to nearly 71. has been raised in this town and neighbourhood, to wards the testimonial to Rowland Hill.—Somerset Caunty Gazette. ACCIDENT AT NEATIL—On Wednesday last, a singular accident took place in this neighbourhood, by which three Frenchmen were injured most severely. A French brig, lying at Giant's Grave, Briton Ferry, had just been loaded with coals from the collieries of Eagle's Bush, and the hold was shut up. Three of the crew then went down with a lighted candle, " to put the place to rights." The poor fellows were ignorant of the fact that " the damp lodges in large quantities is coal," and therefore took not the slightest precaution, but held the candle above their heads ; the consequence was that an explosion took place, and they were all extensively burnt. No hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery.— Monmouthshire Merlin. TAKING LONG CREDIT.—A short time ago, a person of this town (Chelmsford), more ingenious than scru pulous, paid a tradesman for some goods by a bill at two months ; but, on presenting it, at the expiration of that period, the holder found it was drawn payable two months after death, instead— of after date.—Essex Standard. An action for breach of promise of' marriage has, we understand, been brought against Earl Ferrara by a young lady of much amiability, residing near Tamworth. tilunnua.—A shocking murder was committed on Sunday evening last in the neighbourhood of Taliaria, in this county, on the body of a young woman, a servant to a farmer there. She went out in the evening to fetch the cows home for the purpose of being milked, and not re turning at the usual time, a person was sent in search of her, who found the body lying by the side of the hedge, in a field close to one of the lodges of Taliaris House. The body presented a dreadful appearance ; the throat was cut, and several other gashes inflicted about the re gion of the neck and throat. The knife with which it is supposed the cruel deed was effected, was found some small distance from the corpse. A Coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict returned of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."—Carmarthen Journal A REAL TRAVELLER.—A wonder has lately ar rived in India in the shape of a Norwegian runner, who is about to attempt the discovery of the source of the White Nile, on foot, and unattended. He expects to be absent from this only about four months, and ho is to go in a direct line, crossing deserts and swimming rivers. He runs a degree in twelve hours, and can go three days without food or water, by merely taking a dish or two of syrup of raspberries, of which he carries a small bottle; and when he does procure food, a very small quantity will su ffi ce ; but when it is plentiful he eats enough for three days. This wonderful man carries with him only a map, a compass, and a Norwegian axe. He has already made some wonderful journeys, having gone from Constantinople to Calcutta and back in 59 days, fur which the Sultan gave him 2,000 dollars ; and from Paris to St. Petersburgh in 13 days. He has certificates from the authorities at Cal cutta and St. Petersburgh verifying these very and slightlyeryextraor dinary facts. He i s about 45 y ears of age made.

A very important Act received the royal assent on Thursday, the sth instant, entitled " An Act for the Registration, Incorporation, and Regulation of Joint- Stock Companies," the object of which is to bring under the eye of Government all joint-stock companies, and to prevent the establishment of fraudulent concerns with high-sounding names and pretended patronage, whereby persons with the pro mise of a high rate of interest have been deprived of their money and reduced to great distress. There are 80 sections in the Act, with several schedules annexed. It has immediate operation from the sth instant, with respect to the officers to be appointed for the registration of companies, and the regulation of the office provided for that purpose, and all other pro visions as to the companies to which they have appli cation, on the Ist of November next. The preamble of the Act, on consideration of which the sections have been framed, declare's it to be expedient to make provision for the due registration of joint-stock companies during the formation and subsistence thereof, and also, after such complete registration, to invest such companies with the qualities and incidents of corporations, with some modifications, and subject to certain conditions and regulations, and also to pre vent the establishment of any companies which shall not be duly constituted and regulated according to the -provisions of this Act. It is provided, that be fore' any advertisement or other proceeding appears of an intended joint-stock company (which term has a very large signification), a provi.ional • registration shall take place at the "Registry-office,", giving cer tain particulars, in order to guard against mere ad. venturers obtaining money from the public, and in the event of non-registration as described, the pro moter to be liable to be fined 201. A complete regis. tration is to take place before a company can act other than provisionally, and full information afforded re specting the deed of the company, &c. Patrons and directors must in future hold shares in the company, under a penalty of 201., and the inspection of books is given to shareholders under certain by-laws, in order that the affairs of companies may be ascertained, and any director or officer who shall wrongfully "do or omit any act," with intent to defraud the company or any • shareholder therein, or falsify or fraudulently mutilate, or fraudulently make an y erasure i n t h e books of account or books of registry, or any docu ment belonging to the company, then such director or other officer shall be deemed to be guilty of a misdemeanour. The following provision bas been framed to prevent the fraudulent companies : Section 65, " And forasmuch as great injury has been inflicted upon the public by companies falsely pretending to be patronised or directed or managed by eminent or opulent persons; now, for the purpose of preventing such false pretences, be it enacted, with regard to every company or pretended company whatsoever, whether registered or not, and whether now existing or not, that if any person shall make any such false pretences, knowing the same to be false, in any advertisement or other paper, whether printed or written, and whether published in any newspaper, or hand-bill, or placard, or circular, then every such person shall forfeit for every such offence a sum not exceeding 101." By another provision it is enacted, that if a judgment in law or decree, &c., cannot be enforced against the person, property, and effects of a shareholder, who shall have his remedy against the company. Various penalties are pre scribed; and by another provision the registrar of joint .stock companies is to make an annual report to the Privy Council of Trade, setting forth the par ticulars mentioned in the 79th section of the present Act, which report is to lie laid before Parliament. FIELD SPORTS OF THE NORTTL—We hope Prince Albert, who is again to visit the land of brown heath, will step a little further north, among our hills and mountains, to try his rifle at the hardy deer which in habit our glens and corries. Scenes famous in story are numerous as the antlered herds of Inverness, Ross, and Sutherland shires, and should the Prince fancy some target practice, our northern meeting will show him some correct shooting. together with sundry athletic games, unknown in Windsor. On Friday last, Lord Lovat, accompanied by Lord Emlyn and Sir Pyers Mostyn, enjoyed a brilliant day's deer stalking in his Lordship's preserves of Glenstrathfarar Forest. With right and left shots, Lord Lovat brought do wn . a couple of deer, and with three other rifle discharges, a noble stag fell to each. Sir P. Mostyn also secured a very large well-headed stag. The party at Achnanault have had great success in deer stalking. During the last week, Mr. Chearnley killed two, of which one was the largest stag seen in Ross-shire for many year, a veteran, well known to the sportsmen of that county. Another of the party succeeded, on Thursday last, in stalking and securing two very good stags, with right and left shots. Their sport has, in other respects. been rather remark able. On Wednesday evening Mr. Chearnley killed in the river, with the rod, within one hour, four trout whose joint weight exceeded twenty-five pounds. On the Glenmoriston Hills, Edward Burn, Esq., of Aberdeen, and friend, got each a shot at deer, both of which they killed—Mr. Burn's shot being the only one he had at deer this season. At Achnaclarioch, Sir St. George Gore, Bart., had five successive days of superior grouse shooting in the last week of August, haying bagged 376 brace and four couple of hares, which gives an average of 76 brace a-day of birds very strong and wild. On the moors of Dunmaglass, Mr. Stephens and Mr. M`Naughton, in ten days shooting, had 400 brace of grouse. At Muirton, A. Mackenzie, Esq., and friend, killed, in one day lately, five roe-deer and several pairs of black game.—lncerness Courier. The Prince of Surat and suite visited the Royal Adelaide Gallery on Friday evening ; they were re ceived by Dr. Jones, who conducted them round tho Gallery, and explained to them many of the works of art and natural curiosities. They were highly delighted with the performances and curious mechanism of the Automaton Writer, which they minutely inspected. This Prince took a shock from the electrical eels, and ex= pressed himself gratified by the sensation. The Prince and suite took their leave after witnessing the perform.. ance of the far-famed band of the Gallery, with which they were delighted. A MAN OF WEIGHT IN THE COLlNTY.—Hitherto Mr. Bright, of Maldon, has stood without a rival in the annals of Essex in the way of fat and rotundity, but now one has sprung up in the goodly person of Mr. Mansfield, of Debden, who threatens to very nearly approach his throne. Mr. 11. Moss, of Thaxted, has Just completed a coat for him, of course of broad cloth, nearly one hun dred inches round, and in which six men were comfort ably buttoned up at once, and they not tailors either. Mr. M., we are told, is about to be exhibited in London, as a set off to General Tom Thumb, who could certainly find comfortable rest and shelter in one of his coat pockets. He weighed on Tuesday last exactly 335 t., 141 b. to the stone.—Ghelinsford Chronicle.

THE SWELL MOB IN DUBLIN.--Four individuals belonging to this extensive gang arrived in Dublin on Thursday night. Their persons are known to the detective force, and the manner by which they became so is rather singular—it is as follows:—A traveller be longing to Todd and Burns' establishment, having occa sion to leave London, took his seat in one of the rail way carriages for Liverpool. On entering the carriage he found himself in company with five other individuals, who were strangers to him, and who appeared mutu ally so to each other. One of them was a female of a lady-like appearance, and the other four were appa rently gentlemen, and looked as if accustomed to move in the first classes of society. The elder of them ap peared not to know any language save French, and the others seemed to be amused at his awkward attempts to speak English. After some time Mr. Wilson's (the name of the traveller) attention was attracted to a species of dumb language which appeared to be passing between utter strangers, and, feigning to sleep, he heard the person who appeared not to know English, conversing very fluently in it, a n d using several slang terms. Mr. Wilson immediately became alarmed, and the train stopping at a place of refreshment, Wolverton, he withdrew to a private place c h an ge his money frem one pocket to another, as he to 1 1 h a d observed his companions frequently point at the 4 pocket which contained it.

There the lady remained, pretend ing that she had to wait for a servant of hers whom she expected to arrive b y t h e next tra i n. Mr. W i lson, from her air, manner, and accent, believes that the lady was a man in disguise ; but whoever she was, she was evi dently a confederate of the other individuals. Mr. Wil son parted with their company in Liverpool, but on coming over iu the packet, he recognised them there again. Their persons are well known to the police, and consequently their chances of swindling the public are very limited indeed.—Dublin Monitor. POSTAGE STAMPS.—It may save somebody two pence to mention, that the envelope postage stamp will not serve the purpose of the common stamp if cut out of the original paper and affixed to a letter. The poet. office people disregard the substitute, and charge double postage, the same as if no stamp were affixed. THE GREAT WESTERN (IRELAND) RAILWAY..... The prospectus of a proposed railway, under this title, appears in our columns to-day.

POPULAR FEELING IN ENGLAND..--We have before us extracts from the press of England, Metropolitan and Provincial, commenting en the release of O'Connell and the martyrs. The tone of them all is in favour of the liberated, and of British justice, as exemplified in their persons. Even many Tory prints display a spirit of this ruling passion—the fiat justitia rust ctrlum—though they write on Irish conspirators and Irish disaffection.-- Cork Examiner, STRAND THEATRE. Last night, after the entertainments at this theatre had concluded, a silver cup of choice workmanship and elegant device, was presented by the performers to the manager, whose spirited interposition at the moment of extreme embarrassment, we have been in formed, saved this popular place of resort from being closed altogether. A select party of friends who were invited were regaled in very handsome style upon the stage to witness the presentation. The performers, headed by Mr. H. Hall, the stage manager, ap proached Mr. H. B. Roberts, the lessee, to testify their grateful sense of his liberality and enterprise in rescuing them from the lot of even larger theatres, which had unfortunately been compelled to close but too prematurely for the interest of the performers. Taking the cup in his hand, Mr. Hall said— " My dear sir, or rather my dear Mr. Roberts, I having been associated with you in the management of this theatre can best bear testimony to the gene rous enthusiasm which led you to aid the company, when others fell from them. " It has been said of our unfortunate profession that gratitude is not amid our virtues. " It has been said, but what is the fact ? Here are the ladies and gentlemen of the Strand Theatre anxious to show that, as you have not been wanting to them, they will not be wanting to you. " This, Henry Ball Roberts (for I wont mister or esquire you), is an humble, but sincere, tribute to your genuine worth—there is not an individual here but appreciates you as an actor, and as a man—not one but feels that this theatre must have sunk had you not (at a great risk) stepped forward to save it. " Were you absent I could say much more, but, present, respect for your feelings enjoins silence. Ac cept this cup, and believe that those who present it to you thank you for your past exertions, anticipate your future triumphs, and in all sincerity wish health and prosperity to you and yours, and to all that are near and dear to you." The speech was received with great applause. The inscription on the cup was highly appropriate : " When the ship's all a wreck, he who steps forth to lead her safe to harbour should be her captain." On the cup was also inscribed the following testi monial :—" Presented to Henry Ball Roberts, Esq., by the ladies and gentlemen of the Strand Theatre, as a slight tribute of respect for the manner in which, under disastrous circumstances, he aided his brethren." s ILLUMINATION IX GLASGOW FOX THE LIBERATOR. —On Friday evening, about nine o'clock, a number of repealers, in Bridgegate-street and neighbourhood, com menced lighting up their windows, in honour of Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers, on the occasion of the reversal of their illegal sentence, by the House of Lords, and by ten o'clock the illumination in that part of the city became general. In Cowthiddens, also, the news of the decision had the same inspiriting effect, and hearty rejoicing in and out of doors where everywhere mani fested. A great part of St. Enoch's Wynd, particularly the properties of Peter M'Cabe, Esq., were brilliantly illuminated, there being, in one land, no fewer than 300 candles burning. NOTHING so CERTAIN.—[From our Paris ' Cor respondent.]—We are informed by a remarkably fine officer in the National Guards---(the gentleman, by-the by, is also a remarkably small dealer in coke and char coal)—that, in the event of a war, it is intended to pla card the Paris fortifications with " lists of impositions upon English visitors," under the ebnyiction that, if they could not keep the British out of Paris, nothing else would.—Punch. .E B AE u ATTEMPT Rsi.— A A T d M e s r R i r D t E i o R n ooNf GeorgeTH E EESTATE I c o k r , to the police at Bow-street, those' parties having lately a S l i i nT as FH Head, and George Head, was last ni g h t forwarded shot at, and wounded, Stephen Whitlock, woodman to Sir F.

The removal of Fort Clarence Military Lunatic Asy lum from Fort Clarence, near Rochester, commenced on Thursday. On Friday the first division, consisting of twenty military insane officers, were taken away in con veyances en route for the: establishment which has re cently been fitted up at Shorn Cliff, near Dover, as a temporary asylum for the accommodation of the military lunatic patients. To-day (Saturday) the second division, comprising forty-five insane soldiers, with six insane women, proceed by the same route. It is supposed that the establishment will remain at Shorn Cliff for about three years, at which period it is expected the new asylum, about to be built near the Bluebell-hill, on the Maidstone road, about three miles from Rochester, will be completed. The performers at the Strand Theatre have presented Mr. Roberts, the lessee, with a silver cup, for his able and gentlemanly conduct as manager. The circular of Messrs. John Railton and Son, share brokers, Manchester states that the thirty-one Railway Acts passed in Parliament this session will require a capital of 11,761,7171. A mural monument has just been erected in Banton Church, Westmorland, to the memory of the Rev. John Bowstead, 8.D., formerly of St. John's College, Cam bridge. By direction of Government a sum of nearly 6,000/, remaining over and unclaimed from the slave compensa; tion fund, is to be employed in educating the rising gene ration of the African race in that colony. An American Episcopal minister, the Rev. C. T. Tor rey, is in the felons' gaol at Baltimore, awaiting his trial, on a charge of having assisted two slaves to escape— one from Maryland, and the other from Virginia. Scarcely a day passes without the arrival of a quan tity of foreigh fruit, by the steamers, from the Conti nent, which is the cause of the great profusion, and con sequent cheapness of all descriptions of the article at the present time in the markets.

The Royal Yacht Squadron cutter Ware, Marquis of Blandford, has had a new false keel put to her, by Mr. Ratsey, and on Monday was launched afloat. The cutter Lufra, belonging to Lord John Scott, has since been hauled up on the patent-slip in the same yard, for the purpose of having a thorough overhaul and refit. Mr. Ratsey built this beautiful yacht about twelve years ago, and notwithstanding her age, she has been found, after a general survey, to be quite sound, her copper has been taken off, and she is to be newly coppered and a re gular refit. There is a new yacht, of about 50 tons, building in the same yard for Mr. Gray, of Liverpool, and from all ap pearance bids fair to be a clipper ; sh• is in a very for ward state, and will be launched next month. The cutter Flower of Yarrow, belonging to the Mar quis of Conyngham, will, it is said, proceed shortly to Harwich with her noble owner. Yesterday her mizen mast was stepped, having been converted from a cutter into a yawl. A She will be ready for sea in the early part of next week. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. The Marchioness of Anglesey, from Cowes Castle for Uxbridge House ; the Marchioness of Wellesley, front Rose-mount for Knightsbridge ' • the Marquis of Bland• ford, from Marine Parade ; the Duke of Montrose, from Mrs. Goodwin's house, for Belgravo-square ; the Earl of Cadogan, from the Pavilion for Piccadilly ; Lord Clon brock, from the Parsonage-house for Clonbrock Ahascra, Ireland ; Ward, Esq., from No. 4, Bath-buildings ; Thomas Hallifax, Esq., from Egypt House for Lombard street ; Mrs. Armstrong, from South-parade ; Mr. Ham mond, from ditto. The numerous departures have thinned the town of much of its fashionable company, but as this is the beet season for bathing, and as the rents are always much re duced this month, numbers generally arrive. Sir Edward Paget and family are expected at the Castle on Monday. Oak-hill House and Rose-mount Cottage have been both taken to-day. CHEAP TRAVELLING.--1,104 availed themselves of the liberal offer given by the South-Western Company on Monday last; the price from Southampton to London and back was Bs., or los. from the Isle of Wight, for the trip. Many went who never went before, and the number of letters to their friends, announcing their safe arrival, and the wonders they had seen, seriously annoyed the postmen.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, — It is stated in your observations on the conviction of Mr. Bradshaw, at Gravesend, for fol lowing , his ordinary occupation on the Lord's-day, that the puritanical justice fined the defendant ss. and costs. In awarding costs it appears to me that his Worship exceeded his authority. The Act of 29th a ar st . I t l u . ;e c o ap f .the 18th Geo. 111., cap. 19, autho rising under which I presume the con viction took place, does no t g i ve p ower t o l evy cos t a ; and the rising magistrates to a war d cos t s un d er summar y conv ictions, does not appl y t o t hi s case, as under that be Act the costs are direct e d t o paid to the " party injured," and I think it w ou ld p uzz l e even th e w i se Mr. Oakes to point out th e party, who was injured C in Mr. Bradshaw's case. In all future convictions under the statute of Charles, I would recommend the defendants to pay the penalty, and leave the magis trate and informer to recover their costs as they can. When these officious gentry discover that they can no longer indulge in their hypocritical and silly cru sade, except at their own expense, they will perhaps be somewhat less o ffi cious i n i nterfering with the pursuits of their neighbours. AN ENEMY TO CANT AND HUMBUG. Holt, Norfolk, Sept. 13, 1844. SurrosaD SUlClDE.—Yesterday Mr. Wm. Payne concluded an inquest, adjourned from the previous even- Ogle Robinson, aged even in, on a l lo y mm of er M cia r l c j le o r s k ep o h f most respectable con nections, residing with his family at No. 4, Newcastle court, College-hill, Thames-street, where the inquest was held. It appeared that latterly deceased had been a in bad health and spir its, the result probably of former intemperance. O n Wedne sday morning, about six o'clock, expired before the a r ri va l of Messrs. Edward a nd Q uick, surgeons, who had been called in. A phial tha t had contained acet a t e of mo r phia was found in his bed roo m , and likewise another phial containing a quarter of an ounce of prussic aeid, which struggling be was iol e n tfloyu d d i n h b e e d gaspi ng f or b reat h, an d , n and on Sunday' last he had secretly subtract e d f rom th e s h o p of Mr. Quick, with whom he was on visiting terms. The above is the substance of the evidence adduced at • and, notwithstanding the first inqu - sy , . the suspicion it suggested, the jury wished to return a verdict of Found dead." The Coroner overruled such decision, and ordered a post mortem examination to be made by Mr. Edwards. That gentleman having made it, stated yesterday that he found most extensive organic disease of the heart and lungs, which - might have produced death. To be more certain he examined the stomach, and detected the smell of hydrocyanic acid, as did also the other medical gentlemen who were with him. If de ceased did not die of the organic disease found to exist, the smallest dose of hydrocyanic acid taken even medi cinally, would, in conjunction with the effects of the dis ease he laboured under, cause prompt dissolution. The jury, who throughout exhibited strong symptoms of anxiety to shield the memory of deceased, expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the medical testimony, and returned instanter a verdict of'" Natural death." Lady Emily Hardinge, accompanied by her two daughters, left Whitehall-place, at three this afternoon, for Dover. To-morrow she intends embarking on board the General Steam Navigation Company's elegant and faA steam-ship, Magician, for Boulogne,. en route to lacks. ) i *" f ~~z [AIL 3 ,s ndi e Seidl toi ie bo 111 sur NN ° .„1 :n u 4. tif Pe liCg. ,thor f 1 6 m • 6 4 tc' fro, in' P er Li t° 00 ; CO ,OtA' ~-- rif,,i 4 ft i ' I i 6 ~~ r ~- f , , 4.', 4 .:,' 4
