Obvnilkc LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1845. every fitting occasion that has presented itself for some tie.►c past we have earnestly and honestly endeavoured to advocate the interests of her 31,t3EsTy's Navy. Considering thet arm as the most powerful which the national service ro‘,esses, we have ever felt the most anxious solicitude to watch over the course of all events which had a bearing on it w efficiency and healthful vigour. The anxiety under which, from time to time, we have endeavoured to press its pre eminent claims upon the public sympathy and protection b ,; been at once justified and rewarded by the flattering a , !!:nowledgments which have been addressed to us he parties long attached to the profession, and whose approbation we, of course, consider the more valuable hr resvoa of their great personal experience and technical knowledge of all the details into which it has been our duty to enter. But if we have endeavoured to strengthen the appeals preferred by, or on behalf of the neglected and meri torious officer, we have not forgotten we trust the perhaps yet, more important claims of the hardy seaman. In pointing out the veal considerations which gave a more than tem porary interest to the important complaints, and revelations of defective construction, and deteriorated sailing and hand ling of our ships, which were so usefully, albeit unceremo niously, produced before Parliament, by such uncornpro nlising professional critics as Sir Cri.tnr.us NANER, Lord 1 4:n.s . ritE, Capt. Rous, and Capt. BERKELEY, the main abject that it seemed to us our duty to insist upon was, the better treatrceot of our sailors. It was so self-evident that the majority of the defects, moral and material, which had been brought under the review, first of the Admiralty, and secondly of the Legislature, arose from that vice in our naval admPhistration, which neglected all established provi sion for maintaining the c rews o f our men-of-war in a condi lion of permanent efficiency, that we at once concluded the remedy of this error to be at the root of all practical reform the service. Retiring pensions, or half-pay, or some other when paid off fro m one ;palm +of maintaining able seamen, tip at one time, not only in a condition, but with a desire to the first expedient necessary to be adopted.. The mere equity and justice of the case demanded it, and every consideration of expediency and policy was in favour of a Ilan which could not fail to impart confidence and affection to thoss lant spirits whose interests it would be its especial purpose honourably to secure. Therefore we have, on all opportu nities, attempted to do justice to the long-delayed pretensions which, until the commencement of the present Parliament, have found so few supporters to persist in pressing them as topics for conciliatory adjustment, before some great political exigency should arise to convert them into imperious de mands of uncontrollable and almost hostile necessity. While there is yet time we trust that all the arrangements and con ditions necessary fi r the attainment of this great object will be completed promptly as well as liberally. We are led to offer this suggestion the more emphatically in consequence of an announcement we have recently copied from the Western Conservative, touching some very unfor tunate manifestations that have exhibited themselves on board her MAJESTY'S ship Albion. We have read this ac count with infinite pain, and we trust shall not be suspected of any lukewarmness of regard for the comforts or the feel ings of our tars in general in protesting that we consider the conduct of the parties concerned in these disturbances to have been of the most flagrant and offensive character. We will even go further. Doing all justice to the motives which may have actuated those gallant, humane, and distinguished officers, Commander CHAMBERS and Capt. LOCKYEAR, in the very forbearing spirit in which they exercised their authority in repressing the mutinous disposition of the malcontents in the Albion, we do think that that forbearance has been pushed to a point almost in compatible with the safety and honour of the service. Acts of more mutinous insubordination—excesses of more inso lent violence, short of personal outrage—mischievous and malignant destruction of the ship's equipment and stores, so far as they went—more utterly unworthy of the manly character of British seamen we do not remember to have read of. The generous moderation of the Commander (Crum- BEES), twice exemplied under circumstances of irritating disobedience of orders, seemed to produce no sort of effect upon the mutineers—for such we must call them. What the absti nenceof the commander failed to produce the more decided, though still very forbearing course adopted by the captain, did not accomplish. The affair ended—for the present, at least—by releasing thirty-three of the men who had been put in iron', and retaining seven others in durance, to await a more signal punishment. Our own impression of the circumstances re mains immovable, namely, that such culpaple criminality re quired a more extensive example, seeing how many were known to be engaged, and how many more, in the darkness of the night only presumed to be so, in these outrages. It is of the last consequence that it should not go forth to the crews of other of her MAJESTY'S ships, that such demo ralising examples may be sett to the most nume rous branch of the service with comparative im punity. If such a notion were for a moment permitted to acquire general credit, there is no estimating the injurious tendency it might produce by its influence upon some fo reign powers, which would seize with avidity upon any in dications of such an auxiliary to their hostile designs as in cipient disaffection in the British fleet. This is one of those cases, then, in which it behoves the authorities to institute a most searching investigation, with a view to visiting some marked, though not excessive punishment, for such acts of incipient mutiny. Those authorities must be prepared, how ever, while they visit penalties on others, to take theirjust share of public censure and displeasure as to themelves. Nothing, it may be, can sufficiently excuse these sailors of the .Albion for what they have done; but there may be much to account for and extenuate it. This very probable result ought not to deter them, in a matter of such vital interest to the nation, from instituting and carrying through such an inquiry. It Africa, by order of the Minister of War,- to be attached to the hospitals. Others have embarked at Marseilles. We 'are assured that diplomatic negotiations are about to be com menced with ABDERAIDIAN, and that a naval division, or perhaps the entire squadron commanded by Admiral PARSE VAL DESCHENES, will proceed to Tangiers to support the re clamations of our Consul. But to what purpose is it to ne gotiate again with the Emperor of Monocco? Has not this Sovereign always protested his friendship for France, even whilst his son and his generals at the head of an army of 40;000 men were attacking our army on the frontier. ?" We find little domestic intelligence from these papers of any interest. The accounts of the harvest and the state of the grain in the southern provinces were favourable. According to accounts from Dre:den of the 20th inst., the address of the Lower Chamber was adopted without amend ment-by a majority of 55 to 12. During the discussion several Members protested against the claim of the Govern ment to alter the religious oath without the consent of Par liament. The Minister of the Interior skilfully turned aside the question raised, declaring, for the satisfaction of his op ponents, that the Government would never forget that Saxony was the cradle of Protestantism. The reformation commenced by RONGE, was still spreading, and the feelings against the Church of Rome were generally and loudly ex pressed. The following declaration made by the German Catholics of Pforzhem, in Wirtemberg, we give as a specimen : " We cast from us the chains of Rome, we desire that the German priests should recover the right which every man pus_ ceases to choose a wife for himself. We demand that auricular confession should no longer be abused—that prayers may be said in our mother language, and that the priests should no longer anathematise the Christian Protestants, which but tends to destroy concord and peace in families and in the communes, and excites in the breasts of the people hatred one against the other." " On the 21st the Emperor and Empress of Russia embarked at Genoa, accompanied by their suite, for Palermo, on board several Russian frigates which were waiting to receive them. The King, Charles Albert, repaired to the frigate which had the Czar and family on board, to bid them adieu. The artillery of the town and forts kept up an incessant fire during the whole time of leave taking, which lasted more than half an hour."

Again, we repeat, that they cannot justify nor ex cuse the enormous delinquency of which the culprits have been guilty, in sullying the prestige of British naval loyalty. But their being clearly ascertained to have formed the ele ments of a past catastrophe, may be, we trust in Gon, the certain means of obviating their recurrence in future. The one thing needful that remains to do is—that which ought long since to have been done—justice to our seamen. It is evident that the monopolists are now perfectly re signed to their fate, and that Sir ROBERT PEEL may, when he pleases, carry a measure for the repeal of the corn-laws through Parliament with quite as little difficulty as he car ried his measure fur the imposition of the Property tax. We last week alluded to Lord ASHLEY'S most remarkable letter on this subject, and the publication of that letter has given rise to a still more remarkable speech from a gentleman of still higher Tory principles than Lord ASHLEY-a gentleman who is generally considered as one of the Duke of BucKrsotrAat's Members—we mean Mr. BILK"- HAM Escort'. Thus does he speak of Lord ASHLEY'S letter : Lord Ashley is an able man, sees truly what is coming; but then Lord Ashley is tainted with that which is the feeling of so many coun'y Members, or, if not their feeling, it is the mode in which they speak and write. He writes of the corn-law as given up, but then he describes its loss as a blow, and a blow, in another place, destructive of the prosperity of his constituents. Why, surely, if the Noble Lord thinks this, then the House of Commons is the place where he and others who think the same should ward off the blow, Lord Ashley is quite right in saying the corn.law is given up ; but how can he be right in submitting quietly to allow his constituents to suffer heavy blows I , Gen tlemen, the truth is—and it had better be spoken plainly— it is the conduct of the special representative of what they call agricultural opinions which has precipitated the fall of this corn-law. Why, I have sat in the House of Com mons and heard a gentleman, a worthy friend of my own—pur its character, high in fortune and station—harangue the repre sentatives of the people by the hour on the low price of beef, mute ton, veal, and lamb—and do this avowedly for the purpose of supporting agriculture and pro,ping up protection; in other words, arraying the supposed interests of agriculture against the real in. 'crests of the people, whereas I always thought that the only way to maintain any system of protection was to show, if you can, that the interests of the community required it." Mr. Bicturam Escorr is quite right. The only way to maintain any system is to show that the interests of the community require its continuance ; and it is because the most clever advocates of monopoly in bye-gone times (in cluding among them Mr. BICKILVM Escorr himself) have failed to show that the interests of the community required protection, while, on the other hand, the most subtle oppo nents of free trade have been compelled, even while they opposed it, to admit that its doctrines are the doctrines of common sense, that the doom of monopoly is sealed, and the avatar of free trade is at hand. Now Lord ASHLEY considers this will be a heavy blow to the agricultural interest ; Mr. BrciurAm Escorr, on the contrary, although he feels with Lord ASHLEY that " the game is up," dreads no blow. lie thinks the change inevitable, but he does not despond for the result. Nor is there the least reason for desponding. On the con trary, the farmer will be greatly benefited by the change, for ho will have attained a sure and certain basis on which to form his calculations for the future, and will be no longer the victim of those who have sought to make him believe that legislation could do for him that which •very man of common sense was perfectly aware it was out of the power of legislation to accomplish, viz., fix a minimum price for his produce; and have under this false pretence induced him:to promise to pay a rent higher than they were in justice entitled to demand, or than he was in in prudence justified in giving. Mr. BICKILM Escorr thus proceeds— " Lora Ashley is, indeed, right on one point ; when the leading men of all parties are agreed to support common seism, it roust be very uncommon nonsense that can prevail against them." We hope, therefore, that there will be no factious opposi tion to the change which is now inevitable, but that the less enlightened Members of the monopolist body will "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the words of certainly one of the most talented and courageous of their champions, and keep their " uncommon nonsense" to themselves. Madrid papers of the 20tiTinst. have been received. Ac counts from Barcelona state that slight disturbances had taken place at Gerona, St. Andres de Polamar, and some other small towns in Catalonia, but, not as had been reported, on account of the new tax. They appear to have been caused chiefly by the despotic conduct of General BRETON and a rigid enforcement of the recruiting system. At Gerona an officer of the civic guard bad been killed, and two of the recruits said to be implicated were to be shot. BRETON, in consequence of these events, had set out for Gerona on the 15th, accompanied by a strong detachment of troops. A letter, dated Santander, October 17th, says :—" The day before yesterday Sir Jostru.t. WALMESLET, accompanied by the celebrated engineer, GEORGE STEPHENSON, arrived in this town, for the purpose of examining the road between this place and the canal of Castile to Valladolid, with the view to establish a communication by railroad. Sir J. WALmEsi.Er was received by the provincial deputation, and the illustrious travellers are to be attended by a special com mittee during their stay." No business was done on the Madrid Bourse in the Five or Three per Cents.. but Coupons not to be capitalised were quoted at 24 for cash. The Paris papers contain no further intelligence relative to the battle between a division under General LAmoniciEnE and the Arab troops, of which Ann-EL-KADER was said to be an eye-witness. "We expected," says the Journal des Debuts, " to find in the Afessager the close of the telegraphic dispatch from PERPIGNAN which had been interrupted by the night. Our evening Contemporarv, however, contains no thing on the subject, and the fog which has prevailed all day no doubt is the cause." Some of the French journals specu late on the means to be adopted by Marshal BUGEAUD to put down AnD• EL-KADER. One of them states that the campaign which is about to commence cannot be of long duration, in consequence of the rainy season, but in the spring a complete expedition will be organized to pursue the restless chief to his last re treat. A letter in another, dated Toulon the 20th, says :—" It is believed that the Governor-General will penetrate into Morocco at the head of a column of 15,000 men of all arms, after having pacified the province of Oran, and driven Ann-EL-RADER into the territory of the empire. Everything announces that the military operations will, on this occasion, be conducted on a grand scale.

BRICKLEY AND ANOTHER V. BARDELL. This was an action to recover the sum of 154 193. Id., the amount of an attorney's bill. The dt feniant pleaded that he never was indebted. Mr. THOMAS appeared for the plaintiff; Henry Edwards, formerly clerk to the plaintiffs. In March,lB43, a Mr. Earle cailed at their offices and introduced a person as Mr. Bardell, an omnibus pro. prietor. Witness did not know him then personally nor since. Instructions were given to issue a writ against a person named Wall, and proceedings were carried on and brought into thi. Court. The action was not tried as the matter was settled on the day of trial. He could not speak to the whole of the business being done except through having since been in the employ of Mr. Dickenson, the solicitor to the defendant In that suit, from which he knew it. Cross-examined—The instructions were given by Earle and the other person ; the only doubt he had was, whether it was Bardell who was with him. Mr. KENT, the defendant's attorney, submitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury. The UNDER- SHERIFF said if it was admitted that the work had been done, there was sufficient to go to the jury. —• Earle, cab-proprietor, Pancras.road, Tottenham-court road, examined—Had called two or three times on plaintiffs, Messrs. Brickley and Tweedale, and gave instructions for a letter to be written to Wall for three guineas due to him, witness. They were only to write a letter to frighten Wall, and he never gave any instructions for a writ to be issued. Bardell did not go with him. Not a soul went with him. Cross-examined—There was an action between Bardell and Wall. Witness was called as a witness, but Bardell and Wall settled the matter, each paying costs, fur Bardell knew nothing about it. Barden never bad anything to do with it. Wall examined—Knew nothing of Bardell, nor ever had any thing to do with him. On the el?) , of the previous trial Bardell was sent for. Witness did not know him. Bardell knew nothing about the action, but after some talk witness compromised with Earle, who was the party to whom he was indebted. Mr. THOMAS, in reply, urged that there could be no doubt that Bardell was aware of the action being brought, and that he was in some way or other interested in the suit, or he would not have settled the matter. The UNDER.-SHERIFF said it did not matter whether the debt was due to Bardell, or Wall, or neither; the question was who gave the instructions ? The jury instantly gave a verdict for the plaintiff's. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT: 1 5 / 2% 3% (Before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL.) Henry Tarling, a labourer, 22 years of age. was indicted for having burglariously entered the house of William Andrews, hair dresser, Newington, and stealing therefrom four live pigeons, a towel, and a candlestick. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor had, as he thought, safely locked up his premises at nine o'clock on the night of the 21st of October, and on his return at eleven he found that his house had been entered, and the above articles gone. Suspicion attached to the prisoner, his lodgings were searched on the following morning, and the pigeons and candle stick were found in his house. MINES. The defence set up was, that these things had been left by some person unknown in the prisoner's room on the night of the robbery. He could not ace the young man, as there was no light in the room. Real del Monte Unregd. The Recorder summed up, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. S:ntenced to imprisonment and hard labour for one year. Ann emit, a very respectably dressed girl, was placed at the bar charged with having robbed her master, the Rev. Mr. Reeve, of Mortlake. Mr. Bodkin was for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. Mr. BODKIN opened the case, and afterwards called Frederick John Reeve, incumbent of ➢Mortlake, who stated that the prisoner had been in his service, in the capacity of cook, for about a year. The family on the 20th August left for Brighton, the prisoner having left on the previous day to prepare the real. deuce for them. The servants had been ordered some days before to take only such things of their own as were absolutely necessary, and to leave the others behind them. The prisoner had her things put up in two boxes, one a large and the ether a smaller one. The latter box was sent to Mrs. Neeve, the wife of a labourer, and the former was sent to Brighton. In consequence of some information given to Mrs. Reeve at Brighton, the latter taxed the prisoner severely, and she left her situation, and resided some days in the Lord Nelson public.house. Witness came up to Mortlake, and saw the box which was left at Mrs. Nesve's. He took it down with him to Brighton, called in the prisoner, and re. quested her to open the box before he paid her wages. The pri soner after seine hesitation took off the canvass with which it was covered, and he saw that the box belonged to himself. The pri. soner admitted that it was his. The box was then opened, and he found many articles belonging to himself. They were principally sheets, towels, napkins, portions of carpeting, &c. He then re turned to Mortlake for the box which had been left at home, and took it also to Brighton, where it was broken open in presence of the prisoner. He found therein two books, one a school book and the other an odd volume of the " Heiress of Bruges," and other articles not mentioned in the indictment. JOINT STOCK BANKS.

Gentleman at great length, and,amid shouts 01 laughter which the Court endeavoured in vain to repress, he showed that the articles, which were evidently of great antiquity, had been valued ridiculously high, although the prosecutor had taken credit to himself for the reluctance with which he pressed the charge, and the low figure which he had placed on each article. (The care was proceeding when our report left.) NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Edward Johnson was charged with burglary and theft. Mary Anne Bayn lives in St. Pancras. On the 17th Sept. she was roused at midnight by a sound in one of her rooms as of keys falling. She went up the kitchen stairs, and thinking one of her lodgers might have risen, asked aloud whet was wanted. But her attention was now attracted by a light in the backparlour ; she en tered the room and saw the prisoner standing at the table. lie, how.. ever, immediately made off by the window, leaped on the top of the wash.house, :and slipped down from the walls into a neighbour ing street. At this point, when witness was about to lose sight of the prisoner, she screamed out "thieves and robbers." She found on the table at which the prisoner had Leen standing, silver sugar. tongs, a gold ring, silver medal, ac., articles which she had ►ef locked up in a box the evening before. Beneath the table was a bunch of keys, the falling of which had awakened her. These, among ether keys, had been left on the dresser in the kitchen. Folice.constable 107 2G, was on duty, and heard the cry of "thieves and robbers," just at the moment that he saw a person throw down his boots from the top of the wall and slip down after them; he gave the prisoner chase. Police constable 25 G saw the prisoner coming up, and heard a sound as if of a piece of iron drop from him on the way. lie caught the prisoner, and asked him were his shoes were. Prisoner said he had lost them running after a man wl:o had just jumped from the top of a wall.—(The prisoner here smiled at his own fabri. cation.) Some lucifer matches and 2s. lid. were found on him at the station house, and the iron chisel produced in Court was picked up at the spot whence the sound heard seemed to come. The con. stable went to prisoner's lodgings and found a black si►k handker. chief and a knife up the chimney. Mrs. Bayne here identified the handkerchief as one she had worn the Sunday previous. The prisoner had not been home after the affair on the night in question. 2 3 / 5'4 2% The COSJJION.SEWGRANT said the evidence did not prove bur glary. The window might have been left open, or might have been opened by another, which, though but an inch open, would free the prisoner. The prisoner was found guilty of theft, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. His sister in the gallery, on hearing the sentence, burst into loud shrieks, and had to be removed. Joseph Nicholls, alias:John Blackburn, was charged with stealing a coat, trousers, waistcoat, and ten half• crowns, the property of the Rev. John Foyster Grantham. The Rev. J. F. Grantham saw a parcel made up containing the above artieles,:and sent it away by his groom to the carriers. The parcel was made up in brown paper, and addressed to Mr. Moir, 72, Oxford-street. The prisoner (who had no counsel)—Vat coin was in it? Wit. ness—Half-crowns and shillings. Prisoner—Vat was their date ? Witness did not know. Prisoner—Was it seared up? Witness not sure. Prisoner—How was the parcel made up inside? Witness—ln four separate parcels. Thomas Wilder, carrier, got the parcel from his mistress, and in London gave it to Jackson, the stable-boy, to deliver it. Prisoner—Did you; not give it to Bloomfield? Witne?s—No, to Jackson. Prisoner—You may stand down. Jackson said he had been out the two previous nights, and was tired, and therefore gave the parcel to Nicholls, promising him 3d., half the porterage, for delivering it. Nicholls gave Jackson's wife the ad.. This was on Saturday. On Wednesday Jackson asked whether prisoner had delivered the parcel. Nicholls said.he had. On Thursday, having seen the carrier, he understood the parcel had not been delivered, and in consequence went in search of Nicholls, whom he found in a public-house in St. Giles's. The prisoner said before the policeman the money was all spent. Prisoner—Ven did you give me the parcel ? Witness—On Saturday, between twelve and two o'clock. Prisoner—Vat did I say ? Witness—That yeu were going to Broad-street, and would take it for me. Prisoner—That'l do.l The prisoner (who had been charged with :felony in August, 1844, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, under the name of John Blackburn) was found Guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation.

James Linnett, of " No. 10, Argyle.place, Regent's-street, gen tleman," was charged with being drunk and unable to take care of a horse and chaise he was driving, and running over and endanger ing the lives of Mr. Joseph Taylor and his wife. The police-constable who took the prisoner into custody handed to Mr. Hardwick the following certificate:— " I hereby certify that I am attending Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, of No. 32, John-street, Cambridge-heath, Hackney, and consider them unable, from the injuries they have received, of leaving home for the present. " H. B. LANGLEY, Surgeon, Gwynne's place, Hackney-road." Mr. John Wilson, a gentleman residing in Westbourn-road, Paddington, stated that about six o'clock last evening, as he was passing along Regent-street he saw the prisoner in a gig, driving a very spirited horse, at the rate, he should think, of ten miles an hour. He turned sharply the corner into Argyll-place, and witness then heard an exclamation of terror, and saw something under the horse's feet, which at first ap peared to be a bundle of clothes, but presently perceived it was a female —be assisted in removing her into a milliner's shop opposite, and in a few minutes afterwards Mr. Taylor, the husband of the female, was brought in bleeding, and apparently very dreadfully injured. The prisoner was afterwards brought back in custody into the shop. He was evidently intoxicated, but expressed great sorrow"for what he had done. The police then tool , charge of him, and he was conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Haanwrcit—Did the wheels pass over the female? Wit. ness—l should think so; but I cannot speak positively—the horse severely trampled on her. It was further stated that the prisoner, after the accident had occurred, drove recklessly on, and was stopped by a gentleman seizing the bridle. The prisoner very feelingly expressed his sorrow for what had occurred—he certainly had taken too much wine. Mr. HARDWICK, after consulting with Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, ordered tke prisoner to enter int olecognizances to ap pear on next Friday week. .~..... THE LATE FIRE AT GRAVESEND. The recent calamitous tire at this place has caused the deepest sensation in the neighbourhood, and during yesterday hundreds of persons visited the spot, while several men were employed in shoring up the buildings adjoining the houses which were burnt, and in searching the ruins for the body of Thomas Mee, who is supposed to have perished in the flumes. From inquiries amongst the parties who were sleeping at the Black Horse pnblic-home on Saturday night, the following facts have been gathered with reference to the outbreak of the fire : It appears that a man named Calcraft, who slept on the premises, perceiving a strong smell of fire, immediately got up, and he then found that the lower part of the house was in flames. He directly shouted " Fire," and in another moment he heard some of the par ties stirring in the rooms overhead. Mrs. King, the wife of the oc cupier of th 3 house, instantly threw up the sash of her bedroom win dow and jumped into the street. The poor creature was considerably injured by her fall, but she was conveyed immediately to the Five Bells Inn, where every attention was paid to her, and we are glad to state that she has sustained no serious injury. A man, named James Ford, also a lodger. at the Black Horse, was so alarmed that he jumped out of the third floor window, and was taken to the workhouse apparently in a dying state, but yesterday tie poor fellow was able to give an account of the occurreice. He states that he was awakened by Thomas Mee's calling out " For God's sake get up, as the house is on fire, and I can't tell how we are to get out, as the flames arc coining up stairs." Ford jumped out of bed, and upon opening the door and looking down the staircase saw the flames mounting wi h the most frightful rapidity. Thinking it would be bettor if he could get into the floor below, be and Thomas Mee attempted to descend the stairs, but this they could not effect, the flames being too powerful for them, so he begged Mee to follow him into the bedroom again and jump after him into the street, as there appeared no other chance of escape. Ford having jumped out saw no more of Mee, nor has be since beer seen or heard of. A servant girl was saved by being taken through a side window into an adjoining house. Several other persons escaped over the roof. Cleveland, one of the Graves end fire police, states that when he arrived at the scene the lower part ofthe premises were alight, and the screams of tke people in the house were heartrending. He obtained the engine ladders, mid climbing into the first floor of the Catherine Wheel public-house for the purpose of rendering any assistance he could to the sufferers, got upon the landing just in time to rescue the servant of Mr. King, who was standing at a window. He then went on to the gutter of th✓z Catherine Wheel, and after having the hose hauled up to hint the heat became so intense that it melted the lead, which ran in a stream at his feet and compelled him to quit the spot. At this moment a man named Aldridge came to his assistance, and succeeded in saving another woman In a similar manner. They then ran along the parapet, and Aldridge saved himself by sliding down a piece of iron used as a stay to the stack of chimneys, by which he was badly burned. and he now lies at the Five Bells very ill. The engines were worked most effectively, and the police arrangements, under Super intendent North and Inspector Oxley, were well carried out. There were present at the fire about 20 of the 10th Regiment of footfrom Tilbury-fort. The engines would have been earlier in their arrival but for the fact that two of them, under Superintendent Aitkin, of the Gravesend fire-police, were at the fire at Mr. Smith's farm, at Northtleet-green. There were four other engines, from Chatham, Dartford, and Northfleet, all of which were worked till a late hour on Monday, in the afternoon ; notwithstanding which, the fire was not extinguished until seven houses were destroyed, and others ma terially injured. Search was made for the body of the unfortunate watchman Mee during the whole of Monday, but up to five o'clock only a small bone of an arm was found. It is said that an Italian, who was lodging at the Black Horse at the time of the outbreak, is also missing. At tile meeting of magistrates yesterday (Monday), George Simmons, son of a blockinaker, was tined 31. for assaulting a cor poral of the 10th Regiment in the execution of his duty ; and John Davis was imprisoned for a month, for picking the pocket of Mr. Oakes, a magistrate, at the fire. The following is a copy of the official report of the damage caused by this disastrous event, as far as can at present be ascertained : " Sunday, Oct. 26, half-past 5 A.M.

DREADFUL FIRE •AND LOSS OF LIFE, NORTHWICII, SUNDAY AFTRRNOON.—This morning, about half. past eleven, a fire broke out in the farm buildings of Mr. Furber, a farmer, at Shipbrooke, about three miles from this town, which ended, we regi et to say, in the deaths of three children, and the destruction of the whole of the barns, stabler, and other out buildings on one side of the premises, with hay, straw, and grain, the whole of the produce of the late harvest, and im. ;dements of husbandry. The fire had evidently been burning in the barn for some time before it was discovered, for on Mr. Furber going to the spot on the first alarm, he found the whole of the contents in a blase, and, melancholy to relate, he could hear his children within, but from the intensity of the heat and smoke was unable to reach them. It was some con. siderable time before search could be made for their bodies, rani theta nothing but charred remains were discovered. Mrs. Furber, the mother of the children, who has been for some months in a state of ill-health, has by this blow lost all her chil dren ; and it is feared that her own death will speedily follow. It seems that the children, having obtained some lucifer matches had gone to amuse themselves in the barn, where they set fire to the straw. The premises are about a mile froas the parish church (Davenham), the service in which was stopped on the alarm being given, and the neighbours hastened out to render assistance. Mr. Harper, of Davenham the owner of the premises, was first called out, and with the Rev. Mr. Bage, the curate, was very active in endeavouring to arrest the progress of the fire, but many per sons stood idly looking on, and when their assistance was requested excused themselves, "as they had got their best clothes on I" The buildings were insured, but we understand the stock and imple. ments were not. The engine from Northwich was sent for, but the lire had got too much head by the time it arrived for it to be of any service. -.A . 34.1 u;- 4 1 "- • a_ :4 0 'r. m os o ri 0111, 1 .„ • 7v.0 1 7, • 41 FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. BRISTOL, OCT. 27.—0 n Saturday night a fatal accident, which has tinfortunazely been attended by the sacrifice of live lives, occurred at the Upper Soundwell coal-pit at the Fishpond, about four miles 'rum Bristol. The report of the accident speedily spread through the neighbourhood, and caused the utmost consternation among the tinnille3 of those persons engaged in the pits, who ran franticly to the neighbourhood of the pit in order that they might learn the extent of the calamity. It appears that on Saturday afternoon the work men employed at the tipper Soundwell pit, the property of Air. Samuel Whittuck, were leaving their work, and live of their numbee had entered the basket, or " cart," as it is termed by the coal-miners. far the purpose of being drawn up to the mouth of the pit, when the rope suddenly broke when they were upwards of half way up, and they were precipitated to the bottom of the pit. In addition to the rive who had entered the cart, a sixth man was getting into it, and was also dragged down with it. Four of the unfortunate men were killed instantly, and the fifth expired, after lingering in great agony Ca' about three-quarters of an hour. The man who had not entered the basket was dreadfully mangled, his arm being fractured in so bad a manner as to require immediate amputation, which was skilfully performed, but the poor sufferer now lies in a very dangerous state, which almost precludes all hope of his recovery. The alarm having been given, a rope was procured as soon as possible from another pit, and the bodies were drawn up, presenting a frightful spectacle. The scene at this moment was truly heartrending, the mouth of the pit being surrounded by children calling for their fathers, and wives for their husbands. We have ascertained that the names of the five men killed arc William Harris, 60 years of age, leaving a wife and large tinnily, most of whom are, however, married ; Thomas Bird, aged 40, leaving a wile and five children ; William Bassett, aged between 60 and 70 ; Benjamin Wilshire, 33, leaving a wife and three children ; and John Porter, 30, leaving a wife and six children. The man who has been injured is named George Britten, and has also a wife and large fluidly. The inquest on the bodies will beheld on Wednesday. THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. OPENING OF THE SANDWICH PARLIAMENT. Tue following curious intelligence had been received from Mexico at New York, by the Petersburgh, a trading vessel : The Legislative Council of the Sandwich Islands, consisting of a House of Nobles and a House of Kepresentatives, convened on the 20th of May. The opening of the Council was conducted with all the formality of the opening of the British Parliament—Guns were gred from the forts, and the foreign vessels responded. The King's speech is In imitation of that of the kings of Europe. Peace is announced with all nations, and the attention of the Legislature is directed to all matters of local or public concerns. The following paragraphs conclude the King's speech : " We consider it the first of our duties to protect religion, and promote good morals and general education. It will, therefore, be your duty to consider by what means those blessings can be best promoted and extended among the people of these islands, and also among the foreigners resident in our dominions. We are well aware that the Word of God is the corner stone of our kingdom. Through its influence we have been introduced into the family of the independent nations of the earth. It shall therefore be our constant endeavour to govern our subjects in the fear of the Lord ; to temper justice with mercy in the punishment of crime; and to reward industry and virtue. " The Almighty Ruler of nations has dealt kindly with us in our troubles, in restoring our kingdom, togother with special gua. rantees for its existence as an independent nation. May He also aid you in your deliberations, and may he grant his special protec tion to us, to you, and to our people." The Sun, which furnishes us with this news, says that when the King's speech was concluded, one of the nobles, Governor Young, offered resolutions of thanks to the Governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium, and the United States, for recognising the independence of the islands, which passed unanimously. On the next day, the 21st, both houses replied to the King's address, concluding with " God preserve the King." At the opining of the Legislative Council on the 20th May, the new national banner was unfurled, differing little however from the former. It is octo, parted per fess, first, fourth and seventh argent; second, fifth and sixth azure, for the eight Islands united under ono sovereign, indicated by crosses saltire of St. Andrew and St. Patrick quarterly, per saltire counter charged, argent and gules. A coat of arms has also been adopted which is, quarterly, first and fourth stripes of the national banner, second and third, or ball argtnt on a staff sable—in escutcheon Yea, triangular banner argent, leaning on a cross saltire. ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND DALKEITII RAILWAY.—About ten o'clock on Thursday evening, an accident of a serious description occurred on the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway. It appears that t carriage from Dalhousie Mains came into contact with one from Dalkeith, at a point near Sheriff-hall, where the lints meet, and so violent was the collision that both carriages were upset npon the rails. The greatest alarm prevailed for several minutes, and fears were entertained that the consequences were even more serious than they subsequently turned out to be. The driver of the carriage from Dalkeith, whose name is Duncan M`Donahl, had both his legs broken; and Mr. Scott, the manager of the railway, who was in one of the carriages, received a severe wound on the lid of the knee. With the exception of some slight contusions in one or two instances, the rest of the passengers escaped unhurt. We understand that the driver of the carriage from Dalkeith was more than once called on to pull up ; but lie either did not hear, or could not stop insufficient time An investigation has been ordered by the authorities.--Sculsetan. NEW V CHANCERY ORDERS.—The new Chancery orders, 128 in number, which were issued by the Lord Chancelor on the Bth of May last, take effect from this day. The extension of railway communication has, amongst msny other benefits, at length affected Chancery practice, and removed the delays ar sing from the difference in the times al:owed in procedure in town and country causes. 113 , the 16th of the present orders, the distinction in the periods allowed for process in t wn and country causes is wholly abolished. Tile orders are known to have been prepared with great care, and after much deliberation. They will remove many of the grounds of complaint made by suitors of the delay and expense in Chancery procCedings. Many of them relate to the technicalities in eidelit to equity pl , adings, which will hereby be muchsimplified and fiteilitated.—lierald. Till. CJIIRCH.—OXFORD, OCT. 25.—The Rey. C. 11. Collyns, M.A., Student of Christ Church, and late Curate 01' St. Mary Magdalen Church, in this city, has resigned his Student ship, and entered the Roman Catholic Church at Prior Park, Bath. The Rev. F. Oakelty, M.A., has resigned the Senior Fellowship of Balliol College, in consequence of the late decision of the Court of Arches, which precludes him from performing its duties. Mr. oakeley has, on similar grounds, resigned his stall in Lichfield Cathe dral. We regret to learn that Sir George Murray has been suffering lately from very delicate health. The Right lion. George Dawson and Captain R. P. Dawson have left Sir Robert Peel's, Drayton Manor, for Castle Dawson, Ireland. Mrs. Dawson is visiting her brother, Mr. Lawrence real, at Kemp-town, Brighton. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA IN NINE DAYS FROM HALIFAX. LIVERPOOL, TVESDAY EVENING. We have received this evening by the royal mail steamer Cambria, Captain Judkinm, New York papa. 3 to the 15th, Boston 16th, and Halifax the 18th instant. The Cambria has made an excellent voyage of eleven days from New York and nine from Halifax. She met there the Hibernia, which reached that port in thirteen days. The Great Britain had the misfortune to run short of coal after a very stormy pas sage of seventeen days from Liverpool to New York, and was obliged from want of coal to put into Holmes Hole, Nan tucket, where she was supplied by a schooner which hap pened, to be laying there. It was erroneously supposed, from her firing guns of distress, that she had gone on shore, but this was not correct, and she arrived, as before stated, at New York on the morning of the 17th. The number of pas sengers (about 100) by the Cambria was increased by two on the voyage—the lady of one of the passengers being safely delivered of twins on Sunday last. The intelligence in these papers is not important. All talk about a war with Mexico had ceased—indeed that devoted country is in such an unsettled state, that domestic rebellion cannot be kept down, much less a war be undertaken against Texas or the United States. The trials of the anti-renters in Delaware county had ter minated. Two of the men engaged in the shooting of the Sheriff Steele were sentenced to be executed on the 29th of November, and seventeen others to various terms of impri- sonment. The Mormon troubles had subsided, but not until an effec tual demonstration had been made by the local authorities, who were prepared to put them down by force, by; the strong arm of the law. Lynch law, according to the papers, had been put into requisitjon in the case of some Mormons near St. Louisville. Some of the New York papers are occupied with specula tions on the expected modifications of the tariff by the ensu ing Congress, and it seems to be generally conceded that Mr. Polk is in favour of returning to the Compromise Act, or an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. on all articles introduced. The American Post-office had advertised for tenders for carrying the mails to Liverpool, Cowes, Havre, Lisbon, and other places, by steam. Only Americans are eligible. CANADA.—A serious fire broke out at Montreal on the 4th inst. It originated in a building in Queen-street, occupied as a coffee manufactory and coppersmith's shop, where it could have been confined had there been decision and power to demolish a few small wooden buildings in the vicinity. The Ere spread rapidly from building to building, over nearly the entire block, from Queen-street, on the north, to Prince -street, on the south, from Wellington-street oast to Gabriel-street west; one house at . the corner of Queen and Gabriel streets, and part of a building at the corner of Queen and Wel- lington streets, were saved in a damaged condition ; the part of the one at the corner of Wellington and Queen streets, was cut in two, and the burning end severed from the other, The fire crossed Prince-street, consumed the next block _ _ through to Nazareth-street, and crossed Nazareth-street, burning one or more buildings on the south side of that street; two or three were blown up to arrest the fire. The buildings consumed were many of them of a rather ordinary kind, occupied by families in the humb:er walks of life; the distress and privation, therefore, caused by this fire are great. - - COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The following is the latest commercial news:-- Nan , YORK, OCT. 15. In money matters all is easy. The banks have a moderate and steady business demand for discounts. Fancy stocks are stationary. because, much of the capit a l usually afloat and applicable to n short has been abso r b e d i n the first- rate bonds d r lhthe fire ins urance companies have been ailoansagperhaps, n w stocks,ic obliged to part with in order to pay the losses thrown on them by the great fire in July. All apprehension, and Indeed all rumours, of war with Mexico are now at an end, and as the stated time for the assembling of Congress is now approaching, there will probably be no new Execu. tive dcmonstrations in Texas or elsewhere. There has been a slight Improvement h the quotations for some of the State securities. Indiana bodds have advanced several per cent. within the past two months, without any visible cause. The market value of the stocks of the delinquent states generally does not vary much, as speculations in them have nearly ceased. There are great fluctuations in the market prices of our good dividend•paying railroad stocks, although the operations are limited, and they are not controlled particularly by brokers. There are so many new schemes proposed, and the mania to engage in new lines has taken such hold upon ceraln classes, that the stock of the old companies is sacrificed to make investments in new, having wider margins for an improvement. We have no change to report in the condition of our state treasuries. The public works of this state have been unusually productive; the receipts exceed those of any previous season. It is estimated that the revenue of the New York state' canals for 1845 will not fall far short of 3 ,000,000 dollars. The revenue of the year from customs will fall very con siderably short of that of last year, while the expenditures will be swelled by several additional millions on account of the mill. tary and naval display in Texas and in the Bay of Mexico. What influence this may have on the projected assault in the next Congress upon the tariff we leave to conjecture. It is, how. ever, certain, we apprehend, an attempt under the auspices of the President will be made to modify very essentially existing duties. A recommendation to abolish the minimum principle in ad valorem duties, and generally in favour of reducing all duties to a mere revenue standard, will, it seems to be understood, be made in the President's Message on the opening of Congress. The Secretary of the Treasury's report will fortify this recommendation by statistics prepared ad hoc. Whether Louisiana which needs protection for its sugar, and Pennsylvania which needs protection for its coal and iron, and Virginia and New York which needs pro. tection, the first for coal and salt, the latter f or salt, and all the various manufacturing interests of the country, which n eeds more ors on e interest protection—will than tof the u eletre powerful in their influence upon commendation backed by the plant ingand the delusive theories of a p ar ti al free c l teeg theexecutiveso h b trade—remains to be seen. We think not. Exchange on England has undergone a slight decline, bills being dull of sale at 91. On France, the current rates are sf. 25c, Cotton—The market is quiet, as both buyers and sellers are hourly expecting the arrival of the Great Britain, with later advices from Europe. Flour—The demand has been moderate today. Holders, however, are firm at 4 doll. 81 cents. to 4 doll. 94 cents. for Genesee, and 4 doll. 78 cents.. to 4 doll. 81 cents, for Michigan and Ohio. 1,000 barrels of Michigan sold at 4 doll. 78 cents. New Southern flour is sold at 4 doll. 87 cents. to 5 doll. Rye flour, 3 doll. 50 cents. Sales of corn meal have been made at 2 doll. 81 cents. The receipts of flour, via the North River, during the last two days amount to 24,583 barres. 1,600 bushels rye sold at 70 cents.; 3,000 bushels of bailey at 59 cents.; 1,500 do. and •,,000 bushels of wheat, on private terms. North River oats sell freely at 40 to 41 cents.; 3,000 bushels southern white corn brought 61 cents, weight. Ashes—Pots are in fair demand, and sales are made at 3 doll. 94 cents. to 4 doll. Pearls are in moderate request at 4 doll. 12i cents. per 100 pounds. Tallow sells freely at 1 to 74 cents. A JOKE SPOILED.—An unfortunate misprint in the report of the proceedings at the Manchester Athenamm soiree has completely spoiled an excellent joke of Sam Lover's, lie is re presented as saying that he was nearly in the same predicament as Mr. Dickens (who was unable to attend en account of the delicate state of his wife's health), as he had been detained at Beddicombe. Now Mr. Lover had been making a professional tour in Devonshire, and what he said was, that he had been detained at Babhicombe. The five-pound notes of the Dudley and West Bromwich Bank have the words " Five Pounds" printed upon each of them no fewer than one thousand nine hundred and live times, and the whole is clear and distinct, and may be read with the naked eye, FRENCH PLAYS—ST.
