After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down. L• presented no particular appearance, except that an expression of great serenity, almost amounting to a smile, reigned upon his features. (From a Correspondent). NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—WiIIiam Sa ville, the murderer of his wife and three children, was executed in front of our county hall, this morning. The crowd was so unprecedently great that fourteen persons were literally trampled to death, and upwards of forty others very severely injured. The brush-in front of the scaffold was most terrific. Another Correspondent says—" Fifteen persons were killed by being trampled on and smothered ! Sixteen more were taken to the infirmary, some of them not expected to recover. Amongst the lives lost was a woman with a child in her arms." DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR GRAVESEND. In consequence of the DESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSION off BRIGH TON, the Directors of the ROYAL POLYTECHIC INSTITUTION yield to the generally expressed wish that Dr. RYAN should adapt one of his Lectures to the subject of EXPLOSIVE COMPOUNDS. This Lecture,'illustrated by Interesting Experiments, so far as they can be shown with perfect safety, will be delivered daily at half-past Three o'clock, except on Mondays and Saturdays, and in the Evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, at a Quarter to Nine o'clock. On Mondays and Saturdays, at Four o'clock, Dr. POTT'S PNEUMA TIC MODE of forming SUBMARINE FOUNDATIONS in DEEP WATER, with various interesting Experiments.

Yesterday Mr. Frederick Parkyn, the proprietor of a shawl warehouse, No. 84, Quadrant, appeared before Mr. Maltby, to a summons, for having assaulted Miss Eliza beth Spurr, of 88, Dean- street, Soho, on Saturday last. Mr. Bryan, barrister, attended on the part of the de fendant. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after one o'clock, the town of Gravesend was again alarmed by the outbreak of a terrific fire at Lower Shorne, near Chalk, a few miles distant, which, we regret to add, terminated in the all but complete destruetion of that secluded village. The news of the fire was brought to Gravesend by a man on horseback, and on his arrival at the ToWn-hall, where the engines are kept, the police, under the direc tion of Mr. North, the superintendent, lost not a moment in getting them out and attaching four post-horses to each.. Before, however, they had left the town the ap pearance of the atmosphere in the direction of Lower Shorne too truly confirmed the information brought by the messenger, for though the day was brilliant in the ex treme, the fire was of so intense and fearful a character as to be seen from every part of the surrounding country, whilst the huge masses of smoke that arose from the flaming property completely darkened the horizon. On the engines gaining the village, Lower Shorne, comprising three extensive homesteads and. a'row of helves, was found to be enveloped in flames. OR inquiries being made of the inhabitants, it appeared that the fire origi nated in the house of a labouring family named White. This with six others formed a row on the left-hand side of the lower road, and immediately behind them stood a farm, the whole being the property of Mr. Thomas So lomons. It was caused by a foul chimney taking fire, and the sparks falling upon the thatched roof instantly set it in a blaze. Most of the occupants at the time were engaged in harvesting, but they hastened to the spot and endeavoured to check the fire. A vast number of persons came to their :assistance, and every effort was resorted to in order to prevent the flames extending. Unhappily at the dme the wind was blowing a strong gale from the south-west, which wafted the fire to the other houses, and ere half an hour had elapsed, the whole row was burning from top to bottom. Previously, however, whilst all were trying to preserve what pro perty they could, a sad accident occurred by the falling in of part of the roof of two houses. Three poor fellows were extricated sadly burnt, and it was much feared that one or more had fallen a sacrifice, but the state of the ruins prevented all march being made. It being apparent that none of the houses could be saved, attempts were made to save the farm immediately at the rear. The south wing was partly in flames, the fire was running along the roof, and the inhabitants had got on to it and were about to cut off the communication, when they were astounded by perceiving a body of smoke arising from another of Mr. Solomon's homesteads, called the Queen's Farm, si tuate about 200 yards further down the lane on the op posite side. These premises were of greater extent, the farm composing a square of at least an acre, and the buildings consisting of two spacious barns, granaries, stables, lofts, sheds, cart-houses, and rick-yards, and the farm-house adjoining. The alarm naturally increased, and on those assembled rushing to the spot, it was as certained that the burning embers scattered from the former fire had reached the homestead. The greiiter part of the two barns was soon in a blaze, and, how ever incredible it may appear, so terrific was the wort of devastation, that scarcely was there sufficient time to see whether the cattle were all out from the stables, before the whole had been destroy ed, the farm-house alone escaping, although not without very serious da mage. Great as the consternation was then, it can be easily conceived to what an extent it reached when it was seen that another homestead, the property of the same gentleman, called King's Farm, more valuable and extensive than those before mentioned, and stand ing full five hundred yards from that called the Queen's, had also become fired by the falling of the flaming fragments. This property was one of the finest that adorned the county of Kent. It possessed every building necessary for agricultural pursuits. The barns granaries, lofts, and stables, were substantial erections, with a large rick-yard adjoining. At this stage the Gravesend engines arrived, and afterwards one from Chatham, but in searching for water a considerable tithe elapsed before they were of any assistance. The coast guard from the station at Shellhaven were in attendance, and at about two o'clock a strong muster of sailors arid marines belonging to the Russian frigate Aurora,moored off Gravesend, came up under the charge of their several officers. In conjunction with the firemen, coast-guard, and labourers, they made every possible effort in pre venting the adjacent crops of corn from igniting. This they eventually succeeded in, though not without the greatest difficulty and danger, as the hedges and trees on both sides were in a blaze. It is needless to observe, that the King's Farm, with its buildings, like the previous ones, was levelled to the ground. There was no further destruction of buildings feared, but alarm was entertained for the surrounding crops. Tents were in course of erection in the different meadows to shelter the unfortu nate creatures burnt out during the night. Thousands of persons from Gravesend had assembled. One insur ance office, the Norwich Union, was interested in the loss to the extent of several thousands. The total amount of the property destroyed could not be ascertained, owing to the confusion. The complainant, a very respectable young woman, stated that she was in the employment of Mrs. Nichols bonnet-maker and milliner, 72, Quadrant. On Saturday last, while she was out on business, she saw exposed at defendant's shop-door a shawl, ticketed at 14s. 9d. Thinking it a very good one for the price, she resolved upon having it, and went home to get the money to buy it with. She ret urne d t o th e s h op a b out t h ree o'clock in the afternoon, and saw the shawl still exposed. At that time the defendant was standing at the door, when she addressed him, saying she would purchase the shawl and at the same time lifted it from where it was hanging and tendered the money. The defendant took hold of the end of the shawl, and requested her to step into' the shop while the article was being put in paper. Complainant replied that she did not want paper, but defendant held fast to the shawl, and complainant went a few steps into the shop. A second person, named Atkins, a shopman, was there, and he snatched the ticket from her while defendant endeavoured to get the shawl out of her hands. Defendant then seized her by her arm, and twisted it so much that she was obliged to get medical advice. The two men at the same time used the most gross language, and Parkyn told her that if she did not leave the shop instantly he would kick her out, and added that if she had got money enough to pur chase the shawl, she most likely had obtained it by walking up and down. Regent-street. The language used by the defendant, and his shopman, was of the most indecent description. She then walked out of the shop. . _ _ GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

THE ALLEGED POISONING CASE - - AT STEPNEY. James Cockburn Belaney was brought up yesterday for final examination at the Thames Police-court, charged on suspicion of having caused the death of his wife, Rachel Belaney, by having administered to her a quan tity of prussic acid on the Bth of June last. The case, which has excited the deepest interest, was several times remanded, and in the interim a Coroner's jury returned a verdict of wilful murder, against 'the prisoner. The circumstances have been already so fully before the pub lic, that at present we need give no more than a brief summary of the leading facts. It appeared that the prisoner practised a few years ago as a surgeon, but without ,a ceetifieetc,,in the neighbourleood of ,the Com mercial-road, where he formed an acquaintance with Mr. Hobson, a bookseller in the road, and Capt. Clark, a master mariner, in King-street, Stepney, who, how ever, lost sight of him for some time. About the 3d or 4th of June he returned to London with a young, beau tiful, and accomplished wife, and took lodgings near his friend Captain Clark. During the three or four days which they were there, the prisoner and his wife, according to the testimony of Captain Clark and Mr. Hobson, who appeared to be their sole acquaint ance, lived on the most endearing and affectionate terms, and Mrs. Hippingstall, in whose house they lodged, gave testimony to the same effect. The de ceased lady, though of a most cheerful disposition, ap peared at times a little indisposed; but this was attri buted partly to the fatigue of a journey from Newcastle upon-Tyne, and partly to her pregnancy. Before break fast, on Saturday, the Bth of June, being the fourth or fifth day after their arrival in town, the prisoner was heard to call loudly for assistance, upon which the land lady ran up stairs, and found him supporting his wife, who appeared to be in the agonies of death, and who died in about ten or fifteen minutes afterwards. Dr. Garrett, a neighbouring surgeon, was called in, but his presence was of no avail, as life was quite extinct. A post mortem examination of the body was made, after which Belaney made a statement to the effect, that, being in the habit of taking prussic acid for an affection of the stomach, he was about to have some in the bed-room on the morning of his wife's death, when the neck of the phial broke, and the acid began to spill. He poured the contents into a tumbler, and went to procure another phial. Whilst there his attention was attracted by some thing which delayed him a few minutes; but he was sud denly alarmed by a scream from the bedroom, and on rushing in, he found hie wife, whom he had left on the bed, standing with a tumbler in her band. She ex claimed, " Oh! I drank that hot drink: give me some thing cold." He called at once for assistance; but, over whelmed with grief, shocked, mortified, and ashamed, as a medical man, to own his most culpable want of cau tion, he never mentioned the prussic acid. H e s upp ose d that his wife, having taken salts that morning, must have got of bed fora drink, and, not perceiving the acid, poured some water into the glass, and drank off the contents. His withhholding this statement until after the post mortem inquiry excited suspicions against the prisoner, who was taken into custody. On further in quiry it was found, that Belaney, with his friend, Capt. Clark, went two hours after Mrs. Belaney'sseleath, and before the post mortem inquiry, to engage a brick grave in the Tower Hamlets' Cemetery ; hut finding the con struction of such a one would require a considerable time, they proceeded to arrange for a common one. After the case obtained publicity through the public press, several communications were made to the clerks of the Court and the police-officers, stating that Mrs. Be laney's mother, who lived at the time of her death with the prisoner and her daughter, had also died suddenly, and was buried with an almost indecent haste under circumstances peculiarly suspicious. In consequence of these circumstances, it was deemed advisable to send an active and intelligent officer down to the north to insti tute inquiries, and Inspector Haynes, of the detective force, was dispatched on that mission. Amongst other documents which the Inspector produced, was one dated the Bth, the day of Mrs. Belaney's death, in which the prisoner, writing to a gentleman, stated that his wife re -pained dangerously ill, symptons of premature labour having come on a few days previously. It was further proved, at the inquiries before the magistrate and the Coroner, that the prisoner had not resorted to any of the usual means which any medical man of the slightest knowledge would have adopted to counteract the effects of the poison, and which according to the evidence of Dr. Letheby, would, whilst a spark of life remained, or even for some time after every semblance of death had been assumed, have proved effective in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred.

In answer to Mr. Bryan, complainant stated that she was in the employ of Mrs. Nichols, and not of Mr. Nichols. Mr. Nichols keeps a shawl shop in the Quad rant, not far from defendant's. The money with which she intended to purchase the shawl she obtained from home, and not from Mrs. Nichols. She was not aware of any disputes between defendant and Mr. Nichols. She had mentioned the fact of the shawl being ticketed at so low a figure, and expressed a wish to have it to Mrs. Nichols, who said that if she (complainant) could get a better shawl at a cheaper rate else where than she could be supplied with at their own establishment, there would be no objection on her part and she should not feel offended. Complainant examined the shawl in the presence of the defendant, and while he was standing at the door, on saying to him that she would purchase the shawl, he replied " very well," and went on with it to put it in paper, while complainant held one end. Upon her oath she went there for no other purpose than to purchase a shawl. Mrs. Nichols had nothing to do with it, and had never seen it. Complain ant did not serve in the shawl trade at Mr. Nichols's. She did not understand the trade. Defendant asked complainant if she came from Mr. Nichols ; but she re plied no, the shawl was for herself. He did not tell her that if she were a stranger she should have the shawl. She could not remember every word that was said ; but the abusive language was too unprecedented to forget. The language of Atkins was as bad as that of defendant, and she had applied for summonses against them both, but only obtained the one for Parkyn. Complainant was not requested to leave the shop, except in abusive terms. by defendant, who said to her " If you don't go out, I'll kick you out, you d—d b—h." There was a struggle for the possession of the shawl, which defendant at length gained. It was endeavoured to be shown, as an answer to this statement, that the complainant had been sent by a rival shopkeeper to purchase a shawl which was, for the pur pose of trade, ticketed at a price much less than its value. Mr. Mavrny said, that as nothing had been shown to prove that complainant went to defendant's shop in fur therance of any instructions from Nichols, it must be considered as a bona fide purchase. He would not say that she had a right to claim the property. She took the shawl down and was told it should be put in paper, which induced her to believe that she was to hare it. Instead, however, the ticket was first snatched off, and the shawl was afterwards taken from her, and she ordered out of the shop with threats. It was his (Mr. Maltby's) opi nion, that the assault arose from the fact of the shawl having been ticketed at a price at which it was not in tended to be sold. Upon the whole case he was satisfied an assault had been committed, accompanied by threa tening language, and he should therefore fine the de fendant 41. and costs.—The fine was instantly paid.

EXECUTION OF A MURDERER. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY MOANING, AUGUST 7.-- The awful sentence of the law upon William Saville, aged 29, for the murder of his wife and three children at Colwick, received this morning its fearful consumma tion at the drop erected in front of the County-hall. The crowd on the occasion was unprecedentedly large, and, in consequence, a most shocking accident occurred. The place where the execution took place is in a street called High Pavement, between 20 and 30 feet wide, and at the distance of about 100 yards is an avenue, called Garner's-hill, a very steep descent, with five or six steps at the top. As soon as the drop fell, the crowd rushed violently along High Pavement, and hurled a number of persons down the steps. Eight were taken up dead from suffocation, four have died since, and a large num ber of others are seriously injured. The offence for which the prisoner has suffered the dreadful penalty was one of unexampled horror and atrocity. The full particulars having already appeared in The Sun, it will not be necessary again to detail the circumstances of the case ; but it will suffice merely to state, that the prisoner having attempted to form an adulterous connexion with another young woman, was dismissed by her as soon as she knew that he had already a wife and family ; and that, in order to rid himself of the obstacle to the successful prosecution of his suit, he decoyed his unfortunate victims into a wood at Colwick, and cut their throats, placing the bloody razor in his wife's hand, to induce the belief that she had slain her offspring and then committed suicide. This device, however, proved unsuccessful ; and, suspicion having alighted upon Saville, be was apprehended, tried, convicted, and condemned to be hanged for the crime. The prisoner's conduct during the whole affair has been characterised by a total want of feeling, and by an appearance of indifference which he maintained with a wonderful uniformity. It is said, that after leaving the dock he observed a number of persons on the way to his cell, to whom he telegraphed his fate by pointing to his neck, and by giving an expressive shrug. Since then he has attempted to feign madness, but, as little attention was paid to him, he soon left it off, and evinced a better frame of mind in a serious appli cation to the religious instructions of the chaplain, the Rev. W. Butler, who has been unremitting in his atten tion to the prisoner. On Sunday he expressed a wish to speak with a magistrate, and was accordingly visited by Mr. T. Nixon, of Nuthall, to whom he stated that he first intended to tie his wife and children together and drown them in the Trent at Colwick Weir, but that he relin quished his purpose, because he feared he should be seen by persons fishing in the neighbourhood ; that when he entered Colwick Wood, he had no settled plan, and that while there he quarrelled with his wife by telling her that he believed she was pregnant in consequence of in tercourse with another man ; that he left her in a great passion, but that before he had gone many yards he heard her call two of the children, one after the other, to her, and the third say, " Don't do me so, mother." He im ' mediately suspected something was amiss, and ran up to the spot where he found the babes with their throats cut. He then cried out, "D—n you, you b—, I'll serve you the same," and murdered her. He also said that he took the razor with which he committed the bloody deed and cleaned it, and that the instrument found in his wife's hand was an old one, which she kept to cut her corns with. Long before the prisoner was placed in the dock the Court was crowded, and among those present were se veral well-dressed women. At one o'clock Belaney was placed at the bar, looking much better than on any previous occasion. Mr. ileyno!ds, one of the joint solicitors to the Trea sury, was present on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys requested a short delay on the part of the Court, as he momentarily expected Mr. Clarkson, who had an pplieation to make on the part of the pri soner._ Mr. Reynolds did not see the necessity of further delay, as he considered there was already sufficient evidence for the prisoner's committal to Newgate. Mr. Broderip—Am I to understand, then, that you propose to call no further evidence, and now apply for the prisoner's committal ? Mr. Clarkson, who just then entered, had some pri vate conversation with the Bench,which was joined in by Mr. Reynolds, and Mr. Symonds, the chief clerk. The Learned Gentleman then, speaking aloud, said, I have no objection that the public should know the nature of m y application. I think, when the Crown has con sented, there can be no objection to the course, and I never knew such an application to be refused. What I ask on the part of the prisoner is, that he be recommitted to Clerkenwell gaol u nt il the day before his trial, which, from what has already taken place, all his friends must have anticipated he has to undergo. Ido not expect for m y client more than would be granted to any other per son • but I never kn ew such an application to be refused. dr. Broderip (addressing Mr. Reynolds) asked if the Crown consented to the application ? Mr. Reynolds said, if the course was not unusual, the Crown would have no objection, but he would leave it to his Worship, who must be best acquainted with the practice. Mr. Broderip (again addressing Mr. Reynolds) said, is it your wish that th e pr i soner be sent back to Clerken well ; or, having no further evidence, do you pray he should be committed to Newgate ? Mr. Clarkson—The prisoner has many friends coming from the country who are anxious to see him, and with whom, at this critical juncture, it is important he should confer. Clerkenwell affords greater facilities for this purpose than Newgate prison, where the regulations are more restrictive. Mr. Broderip (again addressing Mr. Reynolds)—lt has been put to me whether it is the wish of the Crown that the prisoner be allowed to say where he has greater facility of seeing his friends, or that he should be finally committed to Newgate. Mr. Reynolds—l see nothing in the case which should induce a relaxation of the usual rules. The Crown would not oppose the application, if it were according to the usual practice ; but there is nothing in the present case to take it out of customary course. Mr. Broderip—The usual course, when a case has been closed, and the magistrate has made up his mind to com mit, is to send the prisoner to Newgate. Mr. Clarkson—There are private . papers in the hands of the officer which belong to the prisoner. If they re late to the case let him state so ; if not, they ought to be given up. This is an application with which I hope no one will interfere. Mr. Broderip--I do not know that I have the power to make an order ; but the general rule is, that all pro perty found on a prisoner, and not relating to the case, should be restored to him. Inspector Haynes—l have no papers. Mr. Clarkson—l have said, on a former occasion, that I was glad the case of my client was in the hands of In spector Haynes, as from him I shall expect nothing but strict justice. It having been ascertained that the papers alluded to were in the hands of the Treasury, Mr. Reynolds pro mised they should be given up. Mr. Broderip, then addressing the prisoner, who wit nessed the proceedings with the same grave composure which he evinced all through, said, that it had been prayed that he should be committed to Newgate in pre ference to another prison, and it was now his duty to commit him for the wilful murder of Rachel Belaney, The prisoner was then removed. The mere formal proceedings of yesterday have nearly renewed all the interest which originally attached to the ease ; and the excitement created in the neighbourhood was almost equal to that which was felt whilst the inquest was being held. THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. GRAY, R.N. The following dispatch, addressed by the Earl of Aberdeen to Count St. Aulaire, will explain the circum stances under which the late court-martial was ordered by her Majesty's Government : " THE EARL OF ABERDEEN TO COUNT ST.

Bellet. " In that note his Excellency, referring to the statements contained in the inclosures to his Excellency's communica tion, informs the undersigned that he is directed by his Go vernment to require—first, that her Majesty's Government will disavow the conduct of her Majesty's officers in searching the Luiz de Albuquerque without warrants; and secondly, that they will institute an inquiry into the irre gular proceedings with which her Majesty's officers and men are charged, in order to ensure their punishment, if punish ment should be due, and to prevent a recurrence of the irre gularity complained of. " With respect to the first point, the undersigned at once assures Count St. Aulaire that her Majesty's Government have no intention to uphold or defend the conduct of any officer in her Majesty's service who shall search a French vessel without a warrant from the French Government au thorising that step ; inasmuch as her Majesty's Govern• ment consider such a proceeding is not only not sanctioned by the treaties which exist between the two countries, but that it is in direct contravention of their spirit. " With respect to the second request contained in the note of Count St. Aulaire, the undersigned begs to inform his Ex cellency that orders have been given to institute, without delay, a strict investigation into the conduct of the persons charged with committing irregularities on board the Luiz de Albuquerque ; and that if misconduct should be proved on the part of any person in her Majesty's service, it will be visited with proper punishment ; and that measures will be taken to prevent its recurrence.

The night before his execution he appeared to be in good spirits, and his hardihood seemed to be little re duced. Next morning he was called up, by his own de sire, at five o'clock, and listened with great earnestness to the advice of the chaplain until seven o'clock, when he was brought into the grand jury room to be pinioned. The usual prayers having been offered up by the chap lain, he was pinioned by the hangman and his assistants. The Rev. Mr. Butler then said to the persons present, " The prisoner acknowledges the justice of his sentence, and desires your prayers." Other devotions were then gone through, and at a few minutes before eight o'clock (the hour appointed for the execution) he inquired with great earnestness, " Is it time ?" Shortly after the governor of the gaol asked him if he was ready. The prisoner answered, "Yes," and rose with great alacrity to take his place in the mournful procession to the gallows. On reaching the drop he was greeted with the groans and execrations of the large mob assembled in front of the county gaol. The prisoner, however, stood quite firm, the rope was ad- DitURY-LANE.-A sumptuous dinner was given on Tuesday last, at the Trafalgar , a t Greenwich, by the Com mittee of Drury-lane Theatre to Mr. Bunn, their lessee, who returned from the Continent for the occasion, the chair being occupied by the Earl of Glengall.

The Sylvia being aground at the time of the accident, Mr. Richards, master-assistant, went out to her assist ance in another fishing smack, taking with him the pilot, a boat's crew and boat, but, I am sorry to state that, upon his arrival on the spot the vessel had sunk, and only six people saved out of twenty who were on board. I have since been out to see if it be possible to raise the vessel, but found she had knocked her bottom out, and drifted away. (Signed) " ED. E. TURNOUR, " Lieutenant Commanding."

THE LEARNED ELEPHANT..--- " That's a way knowin' hanimal of your's," said a Cockney gentleman to the keeper of an elephant. " Very," was the cool rejoinder. " He performs strange tricks and hantics, does he ?" in quired the Cockney, eyeing the animal through his glass. " Surprisin'," retorted the keeper, " we've learned him to put money , in that box you see up there. Try him with a dollar." The Cockney handed the elephant a dollar, and, sure enough, he took it in his trunk and paced it in a box, high out of reach. " Well, that is wery hextraordinary— hastonishing, truly!" said the green one, opening his eyes. " Now, let's see hun take it out , and 'and it back." "We never 'learns him that trick," retorted the keeper, with a roguish leer; and then turned away to stir up the monkeys, and punch the hyenas. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Directions for making the Guano Island of Ichaboe. The following is an extract of a Jotter received at Lloyd's, dated Ichaboe, May 22, 1844 : " Vessels bound to Ichaboe should, by all means, if possible, make the land to the southward of this place. I do not think it necessary to make Pedestal Point, fur they may be deceived looking for the pillar and cross, which I have been informed by several shipmasters lying here, who have made the point, that they do not exist. If vessels make the land to the southward it is quite suf ficient. Ichaboe lies in lat 26 deg. 19 min. S., and long. 15 deg. E. If unfortunately a vessel should be drawn to the north by strong gales from the southward, or other wise, I would recommend working along shore, going in as near as is prudent towards the evening, and stretch off a part of the night, so as to be near the land again an hour or two after sunrise ; by so doing they would take ad vantage of the land-breeze, which varies a few points at night from the land. The current is not always alike, neither does it always run with the same velocity. When about the latitude of between 26 deg. 15 min. and 26 deg-. 25 min., and the land is made, mountains will be seen in land. Bring these to bear S.E. and steer directly for them, there will be no difficulty in making Ichaboe. The land is to the north of those mountains, and is composed of sand hills and decomposed granite. When the island is seen, steer for it until you come within t n•o or three miles ; then go between the south part of the island and the main. I recommend this passage as the best for many reasons. In the first place there is a passage within a quarter of a mile of the island above a mile wide; the wind is generally from the southward, and the current is seldom from asiy other quarter than miming to the northward. If you go by the north passage it is more shal• low and on account of the wind being southerly, and the the current, running northerly, it is next to impossible to beat iip to a good berth, as the ships lying so close together will not admit. There is a keep off the south end of the Island, and also one off the main land ; but there is a mile between them, with a good depth of water, so that a line-of-battle ship might beat between them without fear of any danger, and you can let go your anchor were you to .windward, and drop your vessel in any berth you please." By subsequent information it appears, that the pillar and cross do exist, but of so small dimensions as to be invisible except when very close in. THE LATE HURRICANE AT SEA. j — *lnformation was received on Monday at Lloyd's and the various maritime insurance offices in the City, of a dreadful hurricane having visited the different ports on Saturday and Sunday last, which was attended with a frightful sacrifice of human life, as well as great loss of property. At Teuby it commenced blowing fearfully from one o'clock in the morning from the south-east. About five o'clock the Richard, Captain Cooke, of Sunderland, from Cardiff, for the port of London, was, owing to the violence of the hurricane, driven from her anchors, whilst riding in the Caldy Roads. After beating about for some time, in a sinking state, she was driven upon the South Tenby Sand. The preventive men, as well as a great number of the inhabitants, rendered all the assist ance in their power, and were instrumental in saving three of the crew. The Captain, William Cooke, how ever, was drowned, and also three of the crew. Their names are—William Watts, mate ; Robert Clashier, cook ; and James Tayte, seaman. The vessel went to pieces soon after she struck, and it has become a com plete wreck. A fishing smack called the Four Brothers, during the gale, lost two hands. The Jane (another smack) was driven on shore on the Penduce Sands, and it is feared will become a wreck. The yacht Rose, be longing to Mr. Roper, of the same port, drifted ashore, and has become a wreck. Fortunately all onboard were saved. At Newport the storm commenced at about the same time, with heavy showers of rain, and continued with little intermission until eight o'clock; when it abated a little. The most disastrous intelligence is expected from this port ; as yet the only information received is, that about the time the wind moderated, a vessel was observed passing the bay with her mainsail rent, and apparently. making for Cardigan. At Torbay on Saturday and Sunday it blew so tre mendously, that the Brunswick steamer, Captain Rus sell, from Southampton for Plymouth, was obliged to land her passengers, she not being at Torquay, on ac count of the hurricane. The Perie, Captain Hodson, from Denmark, for New York, was obliged to resort to the same expedient. At Teignmouth the gale was equally severe. About ten o'clock on Saturday morning a steamer was observed standing in from sea ; her figure head was carried away, and so was her bowsprit ; whether or not she had re ceived any greater damage could not be learned. At Bristol the hurricane was tremendous, with heavy rain, thunder, and lightning. The shipping, however, escaped with trifling injury. At Llanelly, on Saturday morning, the Friends, a fine ♦essel, belonging to Ilfracombe:was totally lost on the Ceyfen Sands, in Carmarthen Bay. The captain, his wife, and the whole of the crew were drowned. The ship's papers were picked up at a subsequent hour near the harbour of Pembry. The body of a female, supposed to be that of the captain's wife, was,also picked up near the same place, as well as a great deal of the wreck. None of the other bodies have been found. The Briton steam-tug parted from her moorings, and sank near the harbour. DEAFNESS. TESTIMONIAL from John Sawyer, Esq., of Hay wood Lodge, Maidenhead, Berks, to Messrs. S. and B. Solo mons, 39, Albemarle -street, Piccadilly. Gentlemen, having been deaf for some time, I was induced. in the month of No vember, 1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductors, and, although at my advanced age, at that time past my 77th year, I had no hope of obtaining any relief, yet immediately I applied them I could hear the general conversation, and my hearing has become so much improved by their use, that I can DOW hear acutely without their aid. I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, J. Sawyer. 22d June, 1842.—1r0m the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen Waters, Herts, to Messrs, S. and B.

DESTRUCTION OF BLAMPHATNE HOUSE.—Letters were on Tuesday received announcing the outbreak of a destructive fire at Colyton, a few miles from Exeter, and which totally burnt down one of the most antique struc tures in that part of the country, called Blamphayne House, the seat of Sir Edward Marwood Etton, b u t which was tenanted at the time of its loss by a gentle man named Parry. Its ancient construction and pic turesque situation formed a very great attraction in the c ounty, it having been erected in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by Mr. Thomas Marwood, one of Sir Edward's ancestors. The mansion was of considerable extent. The fire, it appears, broke out last Wedne s d ay , at a b out tw o'clock in the afternoon , and it was supposed that fr om age, ' p a the brickwork of the roof had in some way parted, tid formed a cavity under the rafters, where the soot collected, fire, and the flue of one of the chimney s taking soon communicated to the mass, for the upper part of the building was in flames before the alarm was given, and the domestics encountered some difficulty in preserving themselves. Every endeavour was made to tocheck the edifice, entire demolition of thi s i nteresting but all was of no avail, and withi n an hour after e the discovery the building, with all its ancient relics, was reduced to ruins. The loss is very considerable, and it is understood that the seat was not insured. CURIOUS ARTICLE OF EXPORT.—The steam-ship Acadia, which d eparte d yesterday for Boston, had on board a magnificent white satin gown and train, three yards long, recently worn by her Majesty the Queen," which is intended to be introduced into some public ex hibition in America.

This theatre closed last night, after an unusually pro tracted season, the result of which, we are happy to perceive, has been very favourable to the interests of the management, while it must have been no less so to the numerous establishment which the tact and enterprise of Mr. Webster keeps so well and so constantly em ployed. The performances were the Taming of the Shrew, the Trumpefer's ,Daughter, and the Milliner's Holiday. The incident of the evening was of course the farewell address of the manager, which is far more buoyant and cheerful in its tone than very many theatrical and managerial farewells we have had occasion to listen to. We sin cerely congratulate Mr. Webster on the success of his exertions, and the extent of the support be has received, both which, as appears by the following he gracefully alludes to : _ _ Ladies and Gentlemen,—ln times when it is supposed that the drama is in the last stage of decline, it is with more than ordinary feelings of pride thatl have to thank you for the patronage which enables me to close a most profit able season of upwards of 400 nights, not having had oc casion to mulct the performers of one night's salary, even for a rehearsal ; and I should confidently proceed with out the slightest interval but for the necessary repairs and cleansing, consequent upon the length of a season unparalleled in the annals of legitimate theatres. The offer of a prize of 500/., with large contingent advantages, for a comedy illustrative of modern English manners, waa made from no ostentatious display, but from a sincere wish to rouse up the dormant energies of writers (fur I will not believe that dramatic talent is dead amongst us), and to endeavour to bring new blood into the vein of wit and humour that was wont to make these walls to ring again with mirth and laughter. From the tried hands of dramatic authorship during the last three years, I could not obtain the shadow of comedy, either for love or money. The result has not been commensurate with my hopes, but still, while honoured with such liberal and constant supporters, I do not despair of .yet producing something worthy of your encouragement, and the high character of the British drama. The revivals of the works of past dramatists have met with distinguished approbation, and the highly successful production of Shakspearsis Taming of the Shrew, unmutilated and unaided by scenic effects, gratifyingly proves that the public mind is still alive to fine writing and a well wrought play. With feelings of the deepest gratitude, and on the part of my brother and sister actors, until the 30th of September next, I most respectfully bid you farewell. 2- COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—The following bulletin of the Queen's health was issued this morning : " Windsor Castle, Aug. 7, 1844, 9 A..m. " The Queen has passed an excellent night.

THE YOUNG QUEEN OF SPAIN. Our letters from Madrid say, that rumours are again afloat as to negotiations and diplomatic meetings to settle the question of the Queens marriage ; but the letter of our Barcelona correspondent says :—The health of the young Queen is not such as to afford satisfac tion for the last five or six days. During that period, indeed, she has not stirred out. In fact, she can scarcely take exercise even in her own apartments, as she is quite lame. It is said she sprained her foot dancing with her sister in her apartment ; but it is be lieved that her difficulty of moving is owing to her being swollen in an extraordinary manner, particularly in her legs. Her appearance is that of one in a confirmed dropsy. Some weeks after her arrival hero she had improved considerably ; but she has again retrograded. Her sister is also ill, and confined to her apartment. Tho news from Madrid, Saragossa, Logrono, &c., together with the illness of the Queen and her sister, have cast a gloom over affairs here.—Chronicle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES.-YESTERDAY.
