THIS WILL BE 'INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE. 4 4 distance to a capital shipping wharf is only seven miles, ' 4 4 but nine to the intended CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY.

THE CREW OF THE BRIG HANNAH, OF DUNDEE. —lnstructions have been received by the authorities at Quebec to liberate the crew of the brig Hannah, Captain Soutar (not Lowther, as formerly reported), of Dundee, who are imprisoned at Quebec on suspicion of having been guilty of piracy, and the murder of the commander, in the river St. Laurence, early in July last. Capt. Soutar is alive and well. It will be remembered that the crew urged him to take to the boats, there being nine feet of water in the hold at the time, and that he having peremptorily refused to leave the Hannah, they launched the two boats, which were all the ships possessed, and left the vessel, the cap tain being also left without any possible means of escape. Captain Soutar was subsequently, however, taken off his waterlogged vessel, by the brig Catherine, of Belfast, and safely landed at that port, whence he immediately proceeded to Dundee. The Hannah, although aban doned, did not become a wreck. She was fallen in with by another vessel, and towed up to Quebec, where she I arrived on the 26th of July, very little injured. ~` ~• No. 16 1 238, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING SU N 9 AUGUST 31, 1844.

He, however, said he would do his utmost to throw out Mr. Gisborne at the next election, be cause he voted against the Ten-hours' Factory Bill, saying he would rather a Tory should represent Not tingham, and also urged his followers to vote for Tories at the municipal elections.

COURT OF SEWERS. A special meeting of the. Court of Sewers for the C;iry Liuerty of %1' eStmlnSterr, and pan us LLse county of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the Sewers'-office, Greek-street, Soho-square, Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Esq., in the chair. The first business before the Court was " to receive and consider the report of the surveyors on the printed report of Messrs. Allason, Harrison and Cant well (three Commissioners), respecting the use of in verts, ventilating shafts, and other matters." The printed report was read by Mr. Hertslett, the clerk, and stated that, in obedience to the following resolu tion of the Court of Sewers of the Ist day of Alarch, 1844, viz.:— " That it be referred to Messrs. Allason, Harrison and Cantwell, to examine the bill for works done in St Martin's-lane and in the Strand by Northumberland House, in order to inquire into the relative cost of the ordinary brick invert and one with granite or Welsh stone; and their opinion be requested as to the expe diency of adopting a stone invert either in part or whole of the invert of principal lines of sewers ; also to in quire into, and report upon the desirableness and prac ticability of having vent gratings over the shaftsin the centre of streets. They had, in the first place, proceeded to examine and inquire into the cost attendant upon the stone invert of the sewers in St. Martin's-lane and the Strand, referred to in the above resolution, beyond the ordinary brick invert, and found that such cost was 4s. 10d. per lineal foot (these sewers being four feet six inches in width). They desired, however, to report that such increased cost must not be taken as the cost that would in future be incurred, should stone inverts be adopted to any considerable extent, as they found upon careful investigation and inquiry that, in large quantities, the stone might be obtained at a much cheaper rate, and the labour, from the stone being better prepared at the quarry, and other causes, done at con siderable less expense." They had also given the subject of stone inverts their best consideration, and they were decidedly of opinion that the entire invert and whole of the bot tom should be of granite. reference, also, to the desirableness and practicability of having vent gratings over the shafts in the principal s tr ee t s , th e y were decidedly of opinion that such a plan should be adopted, as they would prevent in a great measure the accumulation of gas, the explosion of which had so frequently injured the officers and men belong ing to that Court. They would, also, in a great de gree obviate the offensive smells from gully grates. The cost of the grating over each shaft was repre sented at 12s. Gd., and as there were about 2,000 shafts in the principal streets, the total expense would be about 1,2501. They recommended that the vent gratings should first be tried in the extent of Oxford street. Mr. Dowley, the surveyor's, and Mr. Hawkins, the assistant surveyor's, reports upon the above report were then read ; and they, while concurring in the use of ventilating gratings in principal thoroughfares, expressea an opinion tnat tne granitic bottoms, so strongly recommended by the three Com missioners, would be better if of 'Welsh stone, but they also thought that good bricks, as much less ex pensive, would be found superior. Mr. CANTWELL explained that himself and his brother Commissioners, who drew up the report, in obedience to the wishe s o f th e C our t, did not require the Court to adopt any or all of their suggestions. They might adopt or reject what they saw proper. He left the report entirely in the hands of the Court. Mr. LESLIE would wish to make a few remarks upon the reports they had just heard read; and, first, with respect to the statement of 4s. 10d. for stone inverts per lineal foot. He had made calculations from dimensions in stone-work, and the prices charged by Mr. Bennett, and he had compared those dimensions with the cost in brick-work. He found, as he had expected, a vast difference, and he thought Mr. Cant well must be wrong in his calculations when he stated that the stone inverts would be only 4s. 10d. per lineal foot. He would ask that gentleman how he obtained such a result ? Mr. CANTwiaLL—We had all the bills of costs be fore us. The CHAIRMAN did not see that any gentleman who had been kind enough to undertake the office, gratuitously, of returning such a report, should be so subjected to cross-questioning by any Hon. Com missioner. Mr. LESLIE submitted that the correctness of the calculations in the report should be ascertained. to presume that th a e ll c possession, were the Mr. LESLIE found th a n made a d d o e u bt The CHAIRMAN thought alcul a ti that on s tohfe these Court professionalright 4s. 10d. per lineal ose costfr from that e r e d gentlemen, T with mAN proper documents in their yard; and he would corre ct. avery considerable difference in l his a n e results reall arrived at by Air.

He certainly thought as professional men, were entitled to the credit of that Court, over an unprofessional, however great his industry might be. Mr. LESLIE did not, in that casigfentthleemr e, see that there was any necessity for calling on the Co consider the to consider the matter at all. The CHAIRMAN would suggest that the surveyors' reports be printed and laid on the table. After some conversation,the suggestion was em bodied into a resolution, and carried. Mr. JOAN Wurrs then brought forward his motion " that the Court do return to the consideration forms and materials of sewers Nos. 1 2,and dion as of the regulations in book, page 26, .with the view of per ft, sub stituting improved and more economical d orms. (The sections presented by Mr. White were 1 • al upon the Committee-room table.) The Hon. Commi ssioner explained, at considerable length,n. his theory that an oval form would be an improvement upon the a present, inasmuch as it would res ist in - greater degree a lateral pressure, while its power of resisting a perpendicular weig ht would be equal with - the present. He also introduced to the noti • ce of the 1 Court a particular combina tion of mate • l rut , superior to the present mortar as regarded its adhesive quali ties, and resistance to the action of water. After much discussion, pro and con, the matter was deferreJ, that the surveyors might report upon the same. Mr. GUTCH then brought forward his motion for " the sanction of the Court to permit sewers of a small size to be built for the drainage of summit levels, and also of certain - collateral branches," which was also, after some discussion, reserved for . future consideration. The next business before the Court, " to consider the forms of contracts, specifications, and bills of quantities, with the other steps necessary for obtain ing new contracts of works,' was introduced by the Chairman. Mr. SMITH (solicitor to the Court), in reply to a question, said that the present bond was made because, in the old contracts, several Commissioners had signed in behalf of the Court, which they had afterwards declined to do, as they thereby became personally liable. The CHAIRMAN had no doubt they would find re spectable men, contractors, who would come readily forward, and tender under this bond, and therefore the question he thought was, were they, the Court, satis fied with the protection it afforded them ? Mr. WILLOUGHBY—The present bond was quite sufficient. Mr. W. DONALDSON suggested that their solicitor t ells ~mod 4" ""inamli4 01,3•11”10 ILITILAVI th e enrma nP onn tract, and then state his and their opinions to the Court. The Ctraiumsx requested Mr. Doull to place upon the table of the Court the lists of numbers given to ' the tenderers at the period of the last contract. Mr. Doull did so. Mr. LESLIE thought the Court- was led into error in the course adopted heretofore. He was of opinion that a standing contractor was very disadvantageous, but, before discussing the question further, he wished to know the course intended to be pursued by the Court in this matter ? The CHAIRMAN explained. Mr. LESLIE—In the last contract Mr. Bennett re ceived it, under the suppositiotrtitat he had furnished the lowest tender, and he (Mr. Leslie) could affirm, without fear of contradiction, that it was not so. He calculated that the public had been losers to the amount of 1,5001. The CHAIRMAN thought it would be better , if the Hon. Commissioner would confine himself to the question, whether there should be a standing con tractor at all, and reserve the remarks he was about to have made till the numbers upon the form came to be discussed. Mr. LESLIE thought that all great public works should be singly advertised, and for this rea son. There might be local builders who had the material in their places, and who had also labour unemployed, and they might be in duced to tender at a very low rate in consequence. For instance, if work were to be done at a distance, the standing contractor would require to convey his material there, which would necessarily increase the expense, and, therefore, he would require to consider such in his contract. Bennett's bill was, last year, 16,0001., and they might depend upon it, that the best labour in the market could be had for such an induce ment. At that late hour,' he would not enter upon any detailed argument, but simply content himself by requesting the Court to act as an individual would who, requiring to build, would wish to receive the tender of as many competitors as possible. He would therefore propose that the Court consider it expe dient, not to have a standing contractor for all the districts over which its jurisdiction extends, but that tender be received- for the formation and repairs of such sewers as may be advertised. Mr. R. GUNTER was prepared to second that reso lution. He recollected that some years ago, in the Bayswater district, a work of some importance was done by a tradesman to whom it was at the time ob jected that, his capital being limited, it was necessary that the Court should be cautious in receiving his tenders. The officers of the Court were now quite ready to admit that the work had been finished in an admirable manner. He would with great pleasure second the resolution proposed by the Honourable After a few words from Mr. JOHN WHITE, The CHAIRMAN said that there was a considerable degree of speciousness advanced in support of the motion before them. It might seem probable that in the chance-medley the public might gain some cer thin benefit. But it seemed to him extremely desir able, on the other hand, that they should have a con tractor for a specified time. They would find, that if they advertised for tenders of contract for every five or six hundred yards of sewer they might require, that a shoal of needy builders would come forward, supplied perhaps with sureties, and then such difficulties would arise, as could only lse understood by those who had experienced them in times past. And then let them consider the increased expense. The officers of the Court could not do more than they were able to do ; and the contractors he had described would require to have a constant clerk of the works overlooking every rod of work—not for a moment daring to turn his back —and they might imagine the expense which would be entailed upon them in consequence. It was said that the local builder would be enabled to do the works at a cheaper rate because of his advantages of position ; but this was altogether a fallacy, because the main material required in the operations being bricks, which were not upon his premises but upon the brick field, the expense would be the same, whether they would be laid down in Drury-lane, in Rochester-row, or in any other locality. Again, let them consider the digging. Why, particular materials—particular men—men train©d to the employment—were re quired; and such could only be supplied by an ex tensive contractor. And what were oftentimes the consequence of advertisements ? He remembered one work, where the lowest tender was higher than what their own contractor would have done it for, but he had not given in a tender, and the public were there fore losers by the system. Therefore he thought it was desirable that they should have, as a public con tractor, a man in whom the Court could trust. He would add that, even by their present bond, they were not obliged to give the contractor all their work. Mr. WILLOUGHBY would support Mr. Leslie so far, that he thought one year ought to be the maxi mum of time in any future contract, as the Court would thereby have a greater power than they had at present. He was averse to the employment of small builders, because the operations of all large public bodies imperatively demanded the greatest amount of skill and capital. He thought, therefore, that the lowest tender ought not to be always taken, without other considerations of equal moment being looked to. They must look to the character of the tenderer as well. Mr. LESLIE replied. He hoped that the Court would go with him for once. The contracts had been held in the same families for nearly a century, and it would be a guarantee to the public that the affairs of that Court were not conducted as some paroc hial affairs were, if they broke up this monopoly. Let them look at some of the items now paid by the Court. The article of oak planking, for which they now paid 4s. 6d. the cube foot, it was notoriously a drug in the market at is. 6d. The CHAIRMAN-Oh, no. Mr. LESLIE was assured of the fact by those who sold it in quantities, and he had no right to discredit the statement. He again called upon the Court to prove its desire to further the public interest, by joining himin the resolution he had proposed. The resolution was then put and lost by one. Mr. WILLOUGHBY moved, and Mr. LESLIE se conded, that the contract be for twelve months, and no longer, with an exception in cases of breach of contract on the part of the contractor. Carried unanimously. The further consideration of the forms of tender was postponed, and the Court then adjourned. GREAT CHARTIST GATHERING, ANNIVERSARY OF - THE' `" BATTLE OF MAPPERLEY-HILL." A great assembly of the Chartists of this nighbour hood took place on Monday, in celebration of the serio-comic farce enacted by the Tory magistrates and military in 1842. At eleven o'clock, the Chartists met in the Market-place, and proceeded to the railway station, where they met Feargus O'Connor. On his arrival, they walked in order up Carrington street, Lister-gate, Church-lane, Wheeler-gate, Market-place, Smithy-row, Clumber-street, Mans field-road, Red-lane, to the celebrated Mapperley Plains. The procession was accompanied by bands of music. On arriving on the Mapperley-hills, where a considerable number of booths had been pitched, an elevated position was chosen for the speakers, and Mr. Sweet was unanimously called upon to preside during the delivery of the speeches. Mr. Dorman, after a few remarks, proposed—" That we, thQ Chartists of Nottingh am and its vicinity, in public meeting assemb led, a r e of opinion that persecution ever has, and ever will, fail to stop the spread of democratic principles, and ws hereby PRICE OF SUGAR.

LEICESTER, Atm. 29.—A dreadful and somewhat singular accident occurred last evening on the Leicester and Swannington line, by which a fine young woman, in her 23d year, met with almost instantaneous death. The train which leaves Bayworth, a village about ten miles to the north-west of Leicester, at 6 P.M., arriving at Leicester at seven, consisted of twenty-six waggons loaded with coal, and two passenger carriages ; these last being placed in the centre of the train, thirteen coal waggons in front, and thirteen behind. This train stopped at Desford, about seven miles from Leicester, to take up two passengers, the deceased and an elderly woman named Daniel's, who was with her. They were in the first compartment of the last carriage. It is supposed that the sudden jerk caused by the stoppage, fractured one of the axletrees, for the train had not proceeded more than a mile and three quarters, w hen a waggon was perceived to have broken down. It was dragged on however, about a hundred yards, when several more of the ax.letrees having broken, one of them (probably the one which first gave way) was forced endways into the ground between the rails, nearly its whole length, and the wheel at its other end turning up in a slanting direc tion, caused a dead stoppage, the suddenness of which broke the coupling-chains attaching the engine, which proceeded a considerable di..stance by itself, and caused a tremendous crash. The waggons in front being at a dead lock, the two passenger carriages were forced up into the air by the resistless impetus of the thirteen waggons ofcoal which were behind. There were eleven passengers in the whole, and it appears nothing less than miraculous that the number killed should be limited to one only. Some jumped out ; parts of the carriage had closed together round the neck of one of the passengers, and he was in great danger of being strangled, but was timely rescued. Others were rescued by means of a ladder, and some idea may be formed of the height to which the devoted pas senger carriages were forced up, by the fact that a 12- round ladder which was at first obtained was found alto gether useless, and at length one about double its length being procured and placed as nearly as possible perpen dicular, two passengers, a man and a boy, were extri cated. from their perilous situation. But the worst re mains to be told. The elderly woman whom I have mentioned, whose husband, a tailor, lives at Leicester, es,. (ss ahn hprself exnressed it) at first a kind of jerk and then another, but more violent tnan tne nrsr,' and thought they probably were about to stop the train for something, but almost before she had time to think about the matter, she heard a great crashing nose, and felt that she and her companion were being reared up in the air. Then something pressed her down nearly double, and she could compare it to nothing but being ground down by a kind of mill. The pressure was awful. She expected every moment to be killed, but while iu this situation thought of her companion, and called to her, but received no answer. She felt for her while in this horrible condition, and could touch her clothes, and in two or three minutes (though it seemed an age to her) she was extricated, sadly bruised, but without hav ing any bones broken, The ill-fated girl was extricated in about ten minutes, but quite dead. They were riding with their faces to the engine, and while one escaped comparatively unhurt, the other was completely jammed in between the coal waggon at her back and the opposite seat on the front, which pressing across her chest, produced suffocation, and almost instant death. Her name was Elizabeth Atkins. She was possessed of some personal attractions, and gained a respectable live lihood by dressmaking. She had been on a visit fur ten days previous at Hugglescote, an adjacent village, and was returning to her mother's, at Leicester, when the fatal occurrence took place. At the inquest held the next day before Mr. Gregory, coroner, at the Rasby wharf, after hearing the evidence from which the above facts are taken, the jury returned a verdict of" Acciden tal death," and a deodand of 50!. upon the passenger carriages. The jury expressed their disapprobation of those carriages being placed in the midst of a coal train, and strongly recommended that in future they be placed at the end of the train. The scene where the accident occurred defies descrip tion. The passenger carriages themselves were literally smashed to atoms, and each side of the line was strewed with springs, wheels, broken axletrees, broken glass, &c. The sight, I was informed by an eye-witness, was truly awful; those who escaped, expectinc , every mo ment, while scrambling away, to be crushed by the wag gons of coal, some of which were raised up to a great height in the air. It may be but justice to the management of this rail way (which was more exclusively projected for traffic) to state that during the twelve years it has been worked, not a single accident has occurred, except through the rashness or carelessness of the sufferers themselves. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—CIIANGE OF REGIMENTS.— The 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards marched from Windsor to Slough, en" route to St. John's-wood Barracks, this morning, at nine o'clock, under the com mand of Colonel Berkeley Drummond, and were relieved by the Ist battalion, who arrived from the Tower at noon, commanded by Colonel Moneriefr.

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN BONES.—Great surprise and considerable indignation were excited yesterday by a broker in Great Windmill-street, near Lincoln's Inn fields, exposing for sale, amidst his broken warns, several 11 11111411Skuus, anus, thigh bones, sad other relics, TAX DEFAULTER. A few months ago, Mr. Coode, who was surveyor of taxes over an extensive district, embracing Retford, Newark, Grantham, and their respective neighbour hoods, absconded; and on an investigation of his are fairs, it was found that he had received various aims of money for which he had not accounted to Mr. Chambers, of Stamford, the receiving inspector of the district. The matter being brought before the Board of Taxa., it was clatormiruad thnt aut Con4qlinfl stre money, and as tne various collectors bid no right to pay the money to him, that therefore the said collectors should pay the money over again. This, however, was thought a great hardship, and va rious memorials were presented to the board, praying that the order for repayment should not be enforced. At length it came under the re-consideration Atha board; and after investigating all the cirannstaiices attached to each individual case, the Commissi onem resolved that the collectors should not be held respoir sible, but that Coode's defalcations should be made up by Mr. Chambers. The following is an extract from the official letter conveying the important information : —" The board, however, on a review of the circum stances of this and similar cases, have resolved on re quiring the receiving inspector to make good the amounts for which the collectors can produce evidence of payment to the surveyor, who has absconded, on the ground that the money would not have been lost if the receiving inspector had observed the regulations of the board, framed for his guidance, and had not been in other respects negligent in the performance of his official duty." The defalcations in the neighbour hoods above mentioned amount to a very considerable sum, and we know the publication of this information will ease the mind of many an honest man, who, un knowingly, had been dealing with a deceitful and dishonest man. This will, no doubt, be a warning to receivers of taxes against allowing collectors, at re ceipts of taxes, leaving money in arrear which they ought to have collected and paid in. It ought also to be a warning to collectors. If collectors had been compelled to pay up, at the receipt days, the calls upon them, Coode could not have got hold of arrears from them afterwards.—Nottingham Review. Tian HAT HARVEST.—The hay harvest will this year, to all appearance, extend over a great part of four months, namely, June, July, August, and September ! In a considerable part of Yorkshire, the hay is still abroad in the fields ; in many places it is uncut ; a pd we hear in the northern parts that the farmers think post poning the getting in of their hay till after the corn har vest I The crops are generally very deficient, though, where the hay is cut very late, the quantity is increased, but of course at the expense of the after-grass.—Bury Farmers' Journal. FLOUR PROM ST. JOAN'S, NEW BRUNSWICX....—• It is already known, that by the treaty conclud e d by Lord Ashburton with the United States, on the boundary question, a considerable portion of territory, which was regarded as British, and upon which, in fast, British settlements had been established, was conceded by this country. We believe some peculiar privileges were given in the arrangement to this tract, as to import duties and the admission of its produce into thiscountry; and a correspondent has forwarded us a specimen of flour imported from that district duty free, in barrels, and sold here, while the flour from Canada is paying a duty of 3s. This is certainly an extraordinary state of things—a little bye.blow at the corn-laws; made ma by t ,„ _ nna we.shall bg, curious to learn the whole extent of this tra c t olland and its capabilities of production, that we may judge of the effect it may have hereafter upon the British farmei.—.• Chelmcford Chronicle. RULES FOR NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS.—Sup posing you wish to contribute to a public charity, send your money to the editor of a newspaper. Re must acknowledge the receipt of it, and so you get your name and benevolence advertised in the best part of the paper for nothing. 2. Another good method, if you are fund of appearing before the public, is to request the editor to state that " the Richard Jones who, in our police report of yesterday, was sentenced to Bridewell for shoplifhling, is not the Mr. Richard Jones, the respected chiroptedist, of Sackville-street." 3. If you are writing to a political newspaper, never mind about writing on the two siale2 of the paper, as, depend upon it, it will be a recommenda tion in your favour if the editor sees you can write well on both sides. 4. You need not be particula4 about writing legibly, as it stands to reason, if the editor ow l . not read your letter, that you will be spared the mortifi cation of reading in the next day's notices to correspon dents, that " Philo Justitife is an ass." 5. It is usual in sending a statement, which impugns the character, of another person, to send your name and address witli it ; bat, as in matters of libel, this is a very troublesome, as well as a very expensive plan, it is better to send any body else's card rather than your own. By this means you avoid publicity, and have the double gratification of annoying two persons at once. 6. Inserting your death one day, and contradicting it the next, is another very cheap plan of advertising in a newspaper. Besides you have the advantage of learning in your lifetime what your friends think of you after your death. This ,plan, however, will only answer once. 7. It is better, perhaps, not to send any poetry to a newspaper. We never re collect as instance of the Times inserting " A Sonnet to a Sew," or " Lines to my Mary." F. Be careful of quotations, especially in a foreign language. If an editor knows his own language well, it is as much as you have a right to expect of him. 9. Never send anything to a newspaper " to be continued," unless it is a legacy or a dozen of port. 10. Never trouble yourself in call ing to see the editor of a newspaper. It is a strange circumstance, but you might call a hundred times and always find him " out."—Punch. TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—On Thursday, at one o'clock, the Speaker's house, with several other apart ments connected with the House of Commons adjoining St. Stephen's cloister, were disposed of by auction by Mr. Horne, in order to be taken down for the forma a of the entrance-hall to the centre hall of the Westminster Palace, the sale took place in the smoking-room, and there was a numerous attendance of purchasers of build ing materials. Besides the Speaker's house (which was but slightly injured at the conflagration of the Mouses of Parliament) to be sold, there were two refreshment rooms, the kitchens, and the smoking and coffee rooms, which had been built since the fire for the convenience of Members of Parliament. The whole were divided into 46 lots, and en of the conditions of the purchase was that the entire building should be removed within eighteen days. Some parts of the premises wore erected, in the Gothic style, and the floorings of some of Il e a rooms were laid with oak, and were in good condition. The several lots went for about 4371. Tho brickwork which was put up at 261., was knocked down for. 1491.

POWDER. MILL EXPLOSION.—On Wednesday morn ing. between four and five o'clock, one of the powder mills on Ewell Marsh, belonging to Sir Henry Bridges. Bart., exploded, and the building was utterly destroyed,. The report was heard at a distance of two miles. , For tunately no person was injured. There seems to be a singular fatality about these mills—this being the third or fourth explosion within a twelvemonth, and all are unaccounted for. It is rumoured to-day that our Government is in clined to make a formal and positive recognition of the right of France to retain its Algerine =quests, on con dition of receiving a very important concession in return, and which is neither more nor less than that of assuming the Protectorate of Egypt, under arrangements to which Mehemet Ali is reported to be a willing party,, Chelmsford Chr OiCte • i ■
