The King of the French, the Duke de Nemours and the Prince de Joinville, accompanied by Generals Ay- Mard and Houdetot and some artillery officers left St. cloud on Saturday for Fontainebleau, where they re • mained fur the night and returned on Sunday afternoon at six o'clock. One of the Paris journals states that serious anxiety exists as to the fate of the Government steam•boat the Vedette. This ship, which sailed from Toulon for l'Orient on the 3d of October, had not since been heard Of. She is of 120 horsepower—a feeble force to resist the hurricanes prevalent in the Bay of Biscay. A man °/-war blig, which bore the same name, was lost there twn years since. th e Fra n k/ oat Gazette mentions that Lora Palmer ton and his family arrived at Mayenco on the 30th of %tuber.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS'S MARINE VILLA, AT KEMP TOWN. The splendid freehold residence at Kemp Town (vis- a. vis to the Duke of Devonshire), which was purchased last year, when in carcase only, by Mr. George Robins, is just completed, and, from the great taste and style that is conspicuous, both within and without, has become indeed a prominent feature to this distinguished auxiliary town to Brighton. We really find it difficult to do justice to the extraordinary tact that is conspicuous everywhere. The windows are all of large plate glass, which materially aids the illusion. The architect and the builder both seem to have contended strenuously for the ascendancy ; and Reynolds, the renowned builder of Kensington villas, at Bayswater, says he has won the prize; one thing is qaite certain, that it has left all the mansions of this scale in Kemp Town at a great distance—even the Duke of Devonshire's must now hide its diminished head. It has also the advantage over all others in the situation—that it commands a view almost interminable, extending to Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, with Worthing and Shoreham, and the vast Ocean in the intermediate space. It possesses also a very agreeable feature in having a westerly view ; it is in no way exposed to the east wind, and is entitled by the rules and regulations of a committee of management to free access, at all times and at all seasons, to the splendid grounds of Kemp Town, as well as unlimited right to parade the Terrace Walks to the sea, whenever it pleases the possessor. We have inquired, and we learn that Mr. Robins has no idea, as was generally reported, of occupying it himself. It is erected with the sole view to let it. There is abundant accommodation in the stable de partment for four or eight horses. Two double coach-houses ; and over each range are four rooms for the male portion of the establishment, by which they are kept aloof from inconveniencing the family. By the way, we were so struck with the ensemble, that we took the trouble to put down a little memorandum of its internal capabilities. It is by no means so large a mansion as it appears from its outward form ; but it has by far the most imposing exterior of any house in Brighton. The conservatory, opening on to the balcony, with its elegant and tasteful viranda, seems to leave all its contemporaries far away. The rent required seems unusually moderate-250 guineas a year, to include four stalls and double coach house. It is in perfect order to be imme diately furnished and occupied. There are magnifi cent chimney-pieces which adorn all the principal rooms, with stoves throughout, of a superior kind ; and a kitchen apparatus worths , of Monsieur Ude. It seems to have been completed . at the very nick of time, as there are no houses upon this scale to be had just now at any price. DESCRIPTIVE PARTICULARS BEFORE ALLUDED TO.

George Byng was erroneously affixed to the recommendation of the Jockey Club in the Crenoline affair, instead of that of the Hon. George Anson, Colonel Byng having retired from the Stewardship of the J. C. in July last. ALLEGED IMPROPER REMOVAL OF A HOSPITAL PATlENT.—Yesterday, Mr. Wakley held an inquest on the body of a man on whom amputation bad been per formed in St. George's Hospital. The stump did not, however, heal, and his health going back, Mr. Cutler. the surgeon, suggested that deceased should be removed from the Fitzwilliam-ward to another ward in which there were not so many beds, and where he would have more air, but the deceased preferred being taken home to his own lodgings at Notting-hill, where he said he should have plenty of air, and he was conveyed thither by his wife in a cab on Saturday, the 26th ult. On the Monday . following he was there visited by Mr. Cutler, and during the remaining days of his life also by other medical officers of the hospital ; but be continued to sink, and died on Thursday last. His wife admitted that it was at his request that she had removed him from the hospital, and that he had made no complaint whatever of the treatment he had received there. Dr. Barnes, of Notting-hill, who bad, by order of the Co roner, made a post mortem examination of the body, de posed to the death having been the effect of the accident, and the Coroner and jury declaring that there was no cause whatever for the allegations that had been made as to the improper removal from the hospital, a verdict of " Accidental death " was returned. Mr. Barry, the master of the decased, who, the widow said, had allowed her 12s. per week for six weeks of the time her husband was in the hospital, promised before the jury to give her 51., and to assist her otherwise as much as lay in his power, which the Coroner and jury said was most handsome conduct on his part. WELSH CATTLE Fem.—Since our last report, there have been three fairs severally at Newcastle Emlyn, at Narberth, and Abergwilly, at all of which a large quantity of cattle was offered, but the buyers were far from being as numerous as they generally are at this time of the year. Notwithstanding, however, a great many two-years-old cattle were sold, but at very low prices. One of the buyers for the English fairs (Mr. Thomas Jones, of Tanner's Hall, Landovery) turned out a splendid lot of three and four-years-old oxen from the different fairs, at unusually low rates. Yearling cattle were not much sought for, as our farmers are, one and all, so badly off for winter fodder. Good horses were in demand, both for saddle and for drawing, at fair prices. Colts and inferior horses were not, neglected. Pigs have advanced in price, from 10 to 12 per cent. since the early part of September last. Yu sheep, no alteration can be quoted; prime ones, fit f or immediate slaughtering being in good demand, at from 425. to 48s. per cwt., to sink the offal. Very few butchers from Swansea and Llanelly have attended our last fairs, consequently the best fat beasts were mostly driven home unsold.— Washman. FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—On Sunday night a workman had been drinking with some acquaint ances until 12 o'clock, when, finding himself much in toxicated and incapable of proceeding home, he went to his employer's residence in Short's-gardens and re quested permission to lie down in the workshop& until morning, which was granted. Next morning one of the apprentices discovered the unfortunate man lyir‘g at the foot of the stairs quite dead, from a dislocation of the neck, he having fallen from the second flight of steps to the bottom. He has left a widow and family to dc - .lore thitinelailuholy 'sweat. Our readers, no doubt, recollect an anecdote which went the round of the papers, some few weeks since, of a gentleman who advertised for a respectable widow as a housekeeper, and who directed personal application to be made at his residence on a certain day and at a certain hour. When the hour arrived the street was crowded with widows of all ages and descriptions, struggling to gain his door. The tho roughfare was impassable. It was in vain that the unhappy gentleman addressed the sable throng from the window, and told them he was engaged, and at length the police was sent for to clear the street vi et armis. This anecdote has been the foundation of an exceedingly clever and amusing original (and we print the word in italics as something re markable) dramatic sketch, which was produced at this theatre last evening with the most complete success. Frank Mathews represented the unfortunate advertiser. Mr. Pimony Codlums, an old bachelor, who having tried boarding-houses and lodging-houses, and been victimized in all of them, has taken a house, started an establishment, and, finding himself plundered by his aerrants, advertises for a widow as housekeeper. His agony at the consequences of his advertisement was exceedingly amusing—the street, to use the words of his servant, was " like the enclosure in Lei cester-square, full of weeds," and cabs were conti nually setting down fresh shoals of widows round the corner, when the unfortunate Codlums, after having in vain attempted to make a speech from the window, is rescued from his dilemma by his nephew, who in troduces to him a widow as his future housekeeper, and disperses the throng by telling them that his uncle is engaged. The lady thus introduced is the nephew's wife, whom he has mar ried clandestinely, who so winds herself around the old bachelor's heart, that he forgives them, and takes them to live with him, warning others not to follow their example, which warning he gives as his advice To Persons about to Marry. Frank Mathews was exceedingly humorous as the old bachelor, and Miss Arden, as the niece, looked quite fascinating in her widow's cap, and acted very gracefully. The dia logue is cleverly written, and abounds in excellent hits. Altogether, this is a very agreeable trifle. It was received throughout with shouts of laughter, and at the conclusion the applause was loud and long-con tinued. The house was crowded. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVE:NtING NOVEMBER 5 184 k. COL RT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen will hold a .Privy Council on Friday next, at Windsor Castle. The Council is appointed at half-past two o'clock, P.M. This morning her Majesty, attended by Lady Port man, promenaded in the pleasure-grounds and the Home Park for some time. In the afternoon her Majesty and Prince Albert took equestrian exercise in the Riding-school, attended by Colonel Arbuthnot and Colonel Wylde. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of Bedford, the Earl of Lincoln, Colonel Wylde, and Mr. Anson, left the Castle, soon after half-past nine o'clock, to shoot in the royal preserves at Bagshot. His Royal Highness sent his commands to invite Col. Chaloner and Mr. Ward to join the party at that place. Soon after the return of the royal party the Earl of Lincoln took his departure from the Castle. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alice were taken out on their ponies this morning. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was taken for walking exercise. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred was also taken an airing to-day. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon and Sir Henry Wheatley arrived at the Castle to-day, on a visit to her Majesty. The Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell and Captain Francis Seymour, Scots Fusilier Guards, had the honour of joing the royal circle at the Castle at dinner. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards was in at tendance during dinner; her Majesty's private band attended in the evening. Regiments and Grps I st Life-Guards 2d do .......

After that inimitable comedy, the School for Scandal, which seems to afford new pleasure each time it is acted, to those who have seen it played over and over again, was concludei, a new piece, entitled Sam Patch, said to be founded on fact, was intro duced. There is little plot in the piece, and no no velty in that little. Colonel Bradville (Mr. Briadal) bears away a fair prize from Mr. Bates (Mr. Gough), revenge takes possession of the breast of the latter, and he lies in wait for his successful rival, whose wife he murders. The husband escapes, and leaves an infant child behind him, who is not known to be his daughter. She grows up, and in the pro ,ecution of his schemes Mr. Bates, by means of , a rigged document, effects the marriage of the supposed orphan and a person named Somerville (Mr. Caulfield) By this he becomes possessed, in consequence of a will to that effect, of the property of which he was before only steward ; but the appearance of Colonel Bradville, and the frequent intervention of Sam Patch (Mr. B. Marble) frustrate all his schemes. In despair he attempts the life of the Colonel, but meets with his own death. At first the piece told with effect upon the audience, and repeated bursts of laughter were elicited by the Jonathanisms of Mr. Marble. Shortly, however, there were a few indications of discontent, which, as the piece progressed, became louder and more general. Indeed, there was little in the piece itself to recom mend it, and it was anything but well acted. Mr. Patch was as familiar and smart as it was possible for any New World man 'to be—he was "as busy as a cow's tail in fly time ;" but there was too much of it. It was overdone. Perpetual motion, and odd modes of expression, uttered with intent," soon became Hat and unprofitable. There was a constant run of this to sustain American mint; but phrases there m b u e s a t r bearing thesomething of interest in a drama— _ _ extra the than " If there be nothing else between, Men doubt because they stand so thick i' the sky, If those be stars that paint the galaxy." It is but just, however, to remark, that Mr. B. Marble was very wretchedly supported by the other actors, with the single exception of Miss Carre, who played the part of Bridget, a servant maid, and ultimately became Mrs. Patch. There was an evident desire on the part of the audience to receive the piece well, and to make all reasonable allowances. There was even approbation to the termination of the piece, but the lissentients were gaining in number every moment, and we very much doubt, if it had been a piece in two acts instead of one, whether it would have ever come to a natural end. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of one and two, a very destructive fire was discovered by Police-constable 162 C, raging upon the premises used as a stable, in the occupancy of Mr. Thomas Biggs, livery-stable-keeper, situate in Brick street, Park-lane, Piccadilly, immediately behind the Two Brewers Tavern. Such was the inflammable nature of the stock, consisting principally of straw, that in less than ten minutes the flames had gained the complete possession of the building, and bad also extended to the adjoining tavern. The inmates of the contiguous pre mises having been aroused, messengers were dispatched for the engines. With all speed six or seven of the Lon don Establishment engines were at the scene of confla gration, together with that of the County office, and those of the parish, and West of England Company. By the time, however, that they reached the spot the flames had broken through the roof, and were mounting into the air a considerable distance, causing the most lively apprehensions for the safety of the numerous contiguous premises. The Bremen being assisted with a good supply of water, three engines were set to work, and by direct ing the branches of the same against the Two Brewers, the fire was happily arrested in its progrev, and by half past three it was entirely extinguished. The damage done is very considerable ; the wh o l e o f t h e stabling belonging to Mr. Biggs is consumed, and the roof of the tavern and back rooms, together with the contents, are also much burned. The origin of the fire is not with certainty known. Fortunately the occupi er i s i nsure d i n the Sun Fire-office ; and Mr. Rendall, the proprietor of the Two Brewera, is equally protected by an insurance in the Licensed Victuallers' office. MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE BY A GlRL.—Last night Mr. Higgs held an inquest on the body of Rosamond Clarke, aged 15 years, whose brother stated that he last saw his sister alive on Friday evening at tea time. She refused to have any tea, but seemed in her usual health and spirits. She, however, left home suddenly without her bonnet and shawl, and never returned alive. Her body was found the next morning on a barge at Mr. Hubert's wharf ; her clothes were partly up, as if she had walked into the water. There appeared no marks of violence on the body. Previous to her leaving home, she had had a few words with her mother. She was not of weak mind, nor had she ever threatened to commit suicide, but was of a remarkably lively disposition. It was im possible she could have fallen into the water by accident. tier mother was in general very kind to her. The Co roner and jury remarked, that it was extraordinary that no motive could be assigned for the deceased committing so rash an act, and said that they should like to have some more evidence. A witness of the name of Emma Reeves was sent for, who saw the deceased on Friday morning in Peter-street ; her face was greatly swollen ou the right side, and she said her mother had struck her. Deceased remarked at the. time that she had no other friend in the world but her mother, and if she ever struck her again she was determined to make away with herself. The jury said there was little doubt she bad committed suicide, but the evidence was not sufficient to go that length, and returned a verdict of " Found drowned." We are officially authorised to state that the re ports recently circulated, to the effect that a jeweller at Dresden had sold false jewels to the King of Saxony, are entirely without foundation ; and we may further state, in corroboration of the above contradiction, that the jew eller alluded to has offered a reward of 300 dollars far the discovery of the author of the libel. , DEATM OF LORD WESTERN. (From the Essex Herald of Monday.) We regret to have to announce the death of Lord Western, which took place at Felix Hall, about nine o'clock on Sunday morning. His Lordship, who ,was the son of Charles Western, Esq., of Riven-hall, by the daughter and heiress of William Holland, Esq., of London, was born in 1767 ; and after bei ng e i ucat ed at Eton and Cambridge, entered Parliament fur the borough of Maldon, in 1790. He attached himself to the'old Whig party. He continued to sit fur Malden till 1812, when he obtained a seat fur the county, and remained in the House of Commons till 1832. During this lokg period of forty-two years he often took an active part in the business of the House, particularly on the'corh-laws and the currency question. If not the author, he vV:as one of the leading promoters of the Corn Bill of 1815'; and he ever remained a staunch advocate for proteetion, - opposing as strenuously the pro posed fixed duty of the Whigs as he did the doctrines of the League ; and only last year, on the formation of the Protection Society, heliberally contributed to its funds. With respect to the currency, he was opposed to the principles which have of late years been adopted. He attributed much of the embarrassment and distress which have prevailed at different periods to this cause ; and he endeavoured most laboriously, both by his speeches and his pamphlets, to enforce his own views on this subject. His Lordship steadily supported the Liberal party in their long struggle for retorm ; and he contributed to the ultimo . ° triumph in 1831 ; but the passing of the Reform 13,11 cost him his seat for Essex. On the divi sion of the county under the provisions of that measure, he became a candidate for the northern division, but was defeated by Sir Juhn 'Pyrell and Mr. Baring—a circum stance which it was understood induced Lord Melbourne, as a reward for his long and consistent services, to call him to the Upper House immediately, by the title of Baron Western, of Riven-hall ; and his political friends in the county also testified their esteem for him by pre senting him, at a public dinner at the Shire-hall, at tended by 400 gentlemen, with a splendid piece of plate. Since that period his Lordship had lived in compara tive retirement, seldom taking part in the debates of the House of Lords. A great portion of his time was sedu lously devoted to practical improvements in farming. Lord Western was never married. He had no brother, and the title is extinct. THE QUARTER SESSIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-4 perceive by the .Almanac that the quarter sessions, in the several counties of England and Wales, will be held this year in the last week in December, con sequently there will be five sessions in one year. This is certainly very irregular, and at the same time a most inconvenient arrangement, as it will oblige per sons to leave their families in the middle of the Christ mas holiday?. It is very desirable that this law should be altered, and that the time of holding the quarter sessions should be brciught back to the period which, for a series of years, they were accustomed t , ) be held, viz., the first week after the Epiphany (6th January). I am; yours, &c., s J. B. Nov. 4, 1844. THE QUEEN'S 13UCKHOUNDS.--THE FIRST PUBLIC MEET THIS SEASON.—WINDSOR, MONDAY.—Upwards of 400 well mounted red coats assembled this morning at Salt-hill, many having arrived by the early trains from j London, in the expectation that Prince Albert would have honoured the opening meet of the season with his presence. •In this, however, the public, who regularly attend the royal hunt, were disappointed, his Royal Highness having arranged to shoot this morning over the royal preserves in the Great Park. The Earl of Rosslyn, the Master ot the Royal Buckhounds, a great number of the neighbouring nobility and gentry, and nearly the whole of the officers of the two regiments in garrison at Windsor, and of the 17th Light Dragoons, stationed at Hounslow, were amongst those who were present, and went through the hunt. The splendid stag Rory O'More, upon being uncarted at Two Iliac Brook, after rounding the Mill-pond, went away in beautiful style for Burnham, Where it doubled to the right to Hitcham Church into the park, where it took soil. Upon 13Ang dislod4ed it made for Lady Grenville's, crossing the park, through the private gardens and plantations, and then broke away flir Taplow Common, on to Lord Orkney's, and crossed:the Thames, near the ferry to Cookham, followed by a small portion of the pack. Rory °Wore doubled back, and recrossed the river into Bucks, between Cliefden and Cookham, bearing away for Bone end, and was there taken in the Thames, after a good run of nearly two hours, " first and last," over a heavy line of country. Upwards of 250 were up at the take. Numerous spills took place during the run. Half-a dozen were unhorsed in taking the ditch at Dropmore, and several were in a -similar predicament on Taplow Common. A division of the pack took place in Drop more Park; five couple and a half of the hounds starting off in pursuit of a fox. During the after part of the day one of the hounds was' found on Taplow Common, and another at Burnham. The remaining three couple and a half will be searched after to-morrow. The royal pack will be hunted over the Harrow (grass) country on Wed nesday. The meet will probably take place at Mr. Cox's, at Hillingdon, hear Uxbridge. It is expected that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will be present. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PLYMOUTII.—EarIy on Sa turday morning an extensive fire was discovered, by two policemen, raging on the premises of Mr. Foster's steam sawing mills, and steam furniture manufactory, at Cox side. It was about a quarter to one o'clock when the alarm was first given, and shortly after the whole body of the Plymouth police; with their engine, were on the spot, followed by the 7th Fusiliers and the Royal Ma rines, with their engines. The engines of the County Life Assurance and the Great Western were also in attendance. Great exertions were made to prevent the fire spreading, but the property in which it originated suffered very materially, though, strange to say, the steam-engine of the sawing-machine, with the saw itself, were preserved, although the ravages of the fire extended to within a few inches of the teeth of the saw, which, had it been destroyed, would have added 1,000/. more to the loss sustained. We regret to learn that Williams, one of the policemen who first discovered the fire, re ceived several irjuries.., Owing to the darkness of the night, and the confusion that prevailed, he incautiously stepped upon a wall, which, being undermined, suddenly gave way. The property was partly insured ; not suffi ciently, however, to meet the cost of replacing the building, which, d ou b t l ess, w ill amou nt to between two and three thousand pounds. SINGULA R AND SHOCKING ACCIDENT. —Yesterday a plumber n ame d L aWrence, assisted by another man, was standing up on a wall about ten f ee t hi g h, at a house in Sloane-street, Ch e l sea, pull i ng u p by means of a rope a water-butt. A s t h e b utt was ascen di ng , h owever , th e rope snapped asunder,' and the impetus thus given to the unfortun a t e man's body precipitated him with great force upon a covere d water-butt, filled w i t h wa t er , i n th e yard of the n ex t premises. Th e c over was smashed to pieces, and the p oor f e l low ' s head an d b o dy b ecame im mersed in th e water. was speedily removed, and subsequently conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where he was attended by Mr. Cundy, the house-surgeon, who gives some slight hopds of his ultimate recovery. THE FAT AL A CCIDENT AT COOKE'S ClRCUS. —The inquest took pl ace l astpight (the part i cu l ars o f t h e ac cident have already been reported in The Sun). Ser geant Hawkes, N o . 6, N division, said he was present at the time of th e occurr e nce, and cons i dere d t h e tent or circus perfectly secure., The pole was placed in the centre of the tent, and was held by guide lines two inches thick, There was an iron hoop round the head of the pole in which eye-bolts were rivetted similar to the mast head of a ship. There"were a number of other guide lines which were driven into the ground to make the tent secure. The whole appeared to be done in a substantial manner. After th e excitement had su b s i de d w i tness Found that one of th e instru ment. The rope w as , a guide t he l requestin lines ad o e f the e either C oroner, been broken by* the force of th e w i nd or cut with some sharp duced. It was about 2+ inches in diameter, and upon being shown to the jury they were of opinion that it had been cut, but whether or not before the accident it was impossible to tell. Witness thought the rope might have been severed after the tent fell, in order to release the audience. Mr. Ceike, with his wife and other per formers, were in an adjoining tent ready to enter the circle. Witness considered that the occurrence was purely accidental, and no blame attributable to any per son. The Coroner thought it was remarkable that the rope should have broken so short as it did, but if it had been previously injured it would be accounted for. The wind on the night in question was exceedingly high. The evidence only went to show that the occurrence was purely accidental. There was no charge against Mr. Cooke, who appeared to have taken every precaution in erecting the circus. The jury after consulting returned a verdict of " Accidental death." PRESERVATION OF Two LIVES FROM FIRE.—On Saturday morning, about half-past six o'clock, an alarm ing fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Collier and Son, bookbinders, 72, Hatton-garden. It appears to have been occasioned by a large accumulation of paper shavings which the workmen were clearing out from the upper part of the house, accidentally igniting upon the stairs. In One moment the whole was in a blaze, which, communicating with the staircase, on which was also large quantities of shavings in readiness to be removed from bele*. The flames gained such an ascendancy as completely to cut off all escape for two of the workmen, one on the third floor, and the other on the second. Most extraordinarily, these two were deaf and dumb, consequently unable to act with the same judgment as persons in-the full use of their faculties. It was most lamentable to see the poor fellows, especially the one at the third-floor window, who had got out, and was clinging to the window sill almost exhausted ; the spectators, unable to assist him were momentarily ex pecting him to fall, when the fire-escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire was brought to the spot, and by the efforts of its con ductor both were rescued from their danger. The speed with which the escape was brought after the first alarm elicited the greatest praise, and to its instrumentality may be attributed the, saving of the lives of the two men. The engines were in immediate attendance, and under the good management of the brigade the flames were speedily got under, with but little damage to the premises. - We regret to state, that on Tuesday afternoon, as the Rev. Fleetwood Parkhurst, M.A., of Ripple hall, in this county, was walking in the lligh-street, opposite the Brunswick Hotel, Cheltenham, he suddenly fell on the pavement. He was placed in a chair, and conveyed to the Fleece Hotel, where he was attended by Mr. Eves and Mr. Wight, who tried remedial measures without effect. The patient died in about an hour. An inquest was held in the evening, when a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God" was returned. Mr. Parkhurst had riddea over to _Cheltenham, intending to return home that evening. He was 72 years .of age, held the living of Epsom, and was descended of the celebrated Bisho - p ParkhUrst, author of the 9re4 and liebrew lezievw.— Worcester Herald. NAVAL STATIONS.

MELANCHOLY SurcrDE.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at Paddington on the body of a beot and shoemaker, once in an extensive way of business, who committed suicide under truly distressing circumstances. Deceased's son said he last saw his father on Friday J evening, when he left him, having been at his house all day. Ile had latterly become much reduced. He had a lodging, and little place where he worked, at the corner of South Moulton-lane, Davies -street, which he rented of a broker named Skinner, living in the Whitechapel road. On Thursday last, in consequence of his being a little in arrear for rent, Skinner came, and not only took what small amount of goods he had, but actually tore his apron off him, took his tools, and even the job he was at work upon out of his hands, and his spectacles from his face. This broker also took away his coat, but subse quently returned it on the deceased consenting to give him up the key. During the whole of the period the deceased was with him on the Friday he did nothing but speak of the harsh and cruel treatment to which he had been subjected, and appeared dreadfully distressed in mind in consequence ; and it was only through wit ness promising that himself and brother would see him righted that he was pacified. When he left he said he was going home, and witness gave him a few halfpence, as he had no money. lie went home, and was accommo dated by a lodger, but it was supposed he got up in the night, and walked to the spot where he hanged himself. It was his opinion that the harsh treatment of the broker caused him to commit the act. The coroner and jury expressed their indignation and abhorrence of the harsh and inhuman as well as illegal conduct of the broker, and Mr. Wakley advised the son to take immediately legal proceedings against him. The jury ultimately re turned a verdict—" That deceased destroyed himself, but what his state of mind was at the time there was no evidence to show.", 7 INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The half-yearly meet ing of the supporters of the above asylum, founded for the reception of bereaved children from all parts of the empire, especially such as are respectably descended, was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, for the purpose of electing twenty. five new in mates from a list of ninety-three candidates. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., was in the chair. The poll com menced at eleven o'clock, at which hour the attendance of ladies was unusually large, all showing their zeal and activity in behalf of the favourite candidates. From the hall to the large room at the top of the tavern, where the business took place, the way was completely lined with the fair canvassers, awaiting with impatience the declaration of the poll to learn the fate of their protegees. At four o'clock the election closed, and soon afterwards the names of the candidates highest on the list were an nounced. There are at 'present 228 infants in the esta blishment, and, from its foundation in 1827, more than 500 have been supported. At the conclusion of the pro ceedings a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. The Augsburg Gazette announces that a duel took place lately between Count Bathiany and Count Zichy, in which the former received a sabre cut on the nose. Count Zichy had made somo observations to Count Bathiany disapproving of the measures adopted by the association of Young Ilungary to insure the exclusive consumption of Hungarian produce. The Count having been incensed at these observations, challenged his ad versary. In consequence of his meeting with Count Bathiany, Count Z ich y received two fresh challenges from Counts Telek and Paimandi. It was believed that the police authorities would adopt measures to prevent such collisions. TILE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. Yesterday, Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, resumed the :inquiry at the Europa Tavern, Rotherhithe, as to the death of Edward Everest, aged sixty-six, who was drowned, with another person of the name of Morgan, on the morning of Friday week last, by Lein 6). run foul of by the Waterm an s t eamer, No. 6. Other evidence hating been given exonerating the captain of the steamer from all blame, the inquest was adjourned until Ilrednesda)i. SERMON BY MR. PRITCHARD . LATE CONSUL AT OTAIIEITE. On Sunday morning, the Rev. Mr. Pritchard preached a sermon at the Brunswick Wesleyan Chapel, Great Dover-road, Southwark, in support of the schools in connexion with the chapel. The con gregation was extremely numerous. The reverend gentleman took his text from the Acts of the Apostles, chap. xv., verse 3, containing the se words :—" They passed trough Phenice and Samaria declaring the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy unto all the brethren." After speaking of the mission of Paul and Barnabas among the Gentiles, he ob served, that since the Apostles had laboured in the cause of the Redeemer, numerous islands, inhabited by human beings, had been discovered in various parts of the globe. But had those persons been left to perish in their sins ? No. The banner of the Cross had been unfurled upon their shores, and they had heard with gladness and with joy ie principles of true religion. The field of missionary operations now was the world, and it was pleasing to think that every breeze was wafting to some distant land the ambassa dors of the Prince of Peace to convert his rebellious subjects. He had told them that the ancient mis sionaries did not labour in vain, nor did those of the present day. They had carried their missions to the South Sea Islands, amongst the native tribes ; in Africa also, among the different castes; to the de graded negroes of West Indies, and even to the polished Chinese. The Otaheitans no longer imbrued their hands in human blood, to appease the anger of some false deity ; they no longer chopped off the joints of their fingers to propitiate their god ; the Sandwich Islanders no longer gave their property to their priests to avert the evils with which they were threatened—they now accepted the offers of mercy made to them, and hoped for a glorious immortality. In most places churches had been built, and dedicated to the service of God. In the Friendly Isles, which he lately visited, there were 9,000 natives professing the doctrine of our Saviour ; in Navigators Islands, one thousand; in the Harvey, Georgian, and Society's Isles many more ; and in the group of Sandwich Isles there were no fewer than 18;000, who apparently attended divine worship as sincere Christians. Out of the 9,oooChristians in the Friendly Isles 1,400 employed themselves as teacher , . Think, continued the reverend gentleman, of the state in which they were found. He had seen the ground literally strewed with the remains of their barbarous sacrifices, now happily put an end to. If the hearts of his congrega tion would not sicken at the details, he would tell them of companies of natives gorging themselves with human flesh ; he might tell them how he had seen poised in the air, upon the point of warriors' spears, children writhing in the agonies of death ; but he would forbear. After mentioning some interesting particulars of his travels in the Polynesian Islands, with the late Rev. Mr. Williams, who was murdered by the natives of Erromanga, he proceeded to show the necessity of spreading the truths of Christianity at home as well as abroad, and called upon his hearers to support the charity, to advocate whose claims and necessities he then appeared before them. At the conclusion of the sermon a very handsome sum was raised. HEALTH OF GENERAL NOTT.—We are glad to find that the gallant general, who had been seriously indis posed, is now a good deal better. The authenticity of the information furnished by the following paragraph may be relied on. The severity of the attack which General Nott experienced last Friday has passed away, and, after his case had been pronounced hopeless by his physicians, his better fortune has borne him safely to a convalescent state. Ile is increasing daily in strength and spirits, and it is anticipated will soon be enabled to take his accustomed out-doer exercise. It was affecting to see the universal sympathy felt for the brave warrior by every inhabitant of Carmarthen, during his illness, and naught but anxiety for his better health was mani fested for many days. Every man, when he hears the general is recovering, exclaims " Thank God," and passes onward with a more contented mind. A number of workmen a-e employed in taking down the old house at Job's Well (the small estate the general has pur , shased since his arrival in Carmarthen) for the purpose of erecting a spacious mansion in its stead, which it is expected will be finished about next May.— Welshman. LARGE POTATOES.—Last week, two gigantic pota toes, of the kind called "Rough Jacks," were dug from the ground in the " Bridling," in the occupation of John Atkinson, spirit merchant, Sawrey, which, together, weighed s:b. 2oz , and appeared to have been formed by the union of ten bulbs, whilst the greater weighed exactly 31b., and only three different bulbs. Among other wonders of this kind, Mr. John Haw krigg, butcher, has one 31b.; and Mr. John Smith, grocer, has four kidneys, which, when placed end to end, measure a yard, and weigh 71b.; and there are scores more of gigantic proportions, but we just mention these as worthy a place in the temple of fame.—Westmoreland Gazette. EATs.—Within the last few days, since the weather has turned cold, the stables under the Adelphi, in the Strand, have been swarming with colonies of rats, and so daring are these obnoxious vermin, that, although the carmen beat them off with sticks whilst they are in the act of feeding their horses, yet will they, despite of all their rebuffs, approach the men, and look up in their faces, setting them at detianco. Scarcely a morning passes but the stablemen, in turningup the horses beds, find several dead rats, crushed by the animals during the night, whilst in the act of lying down on their THE LAW OF MoßrmAlN.—The report of the 3. lect Committee of the Ilouse of Commons, on the law of mortmain, appointed last session, upon the mo don of Lord John 11Ianners, has just been printed. The :pinion of the Committee is contained in the following passage, the concluding one in their report : " Although your Committee do not feel authorised by the terms of reference to report in favour of any specific alterations of the laws of mortmain, they feel bound to state, from an attentive consideration of the evidence submitted to them by witnesses whose means of in formation and authority must be held to be great, that the operation of the laws is most unsatisfactory, leads to doubt, expense, uncertainty, and litigation, and fre quently defeats good and pious purposes, which the present aspect of the country would induce all men to wish fulfilled ; while, from the- existing facilities for evasion, they cannot be regarded as serving the main purpose for which they are supposed to be maintained, by scouring the heir from the unexpected alienation of property to which he might reasonably have hoped to succeed." FIRE AT FLEMPTON.—AbOUt one o'clock on Thurs day morning, a barn in the occupation of Mr. Cook, of Flempton, was discovered to be on fire. The barn con tained the wool of five years' flocks, a small quantity of wheat, and some barley. The barn was burnt down, and the wool considerably injured; it is supposed the damage will amount to near 2,000/. There was a plen tiful supply of water, Mr. Cook having recently made a pond near the premises, which enabled the engines to do good execution; were this more generally the ease, much property might often be saved. We understand the property was insured.—Suffolk Chronicle. During the last week some gentlemen connected with the Great Western Railway have been engaged surveying the neighbourhood of Monmouth, Usk, & e ., with a view of determining upon the best line for the South Wales Railway.—Monmouthshire SINKING OF TIIE VESPER GRAVESEND STEAM PACKET.—On Sunday morning the Vesper steam-boat, belonging to the Star Company, left Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, at eleven, on her usual passage to Gravesend, calling, as usual, at Rolf's Wharf, Woolwich, where, after embarking a few passengers, she started again on her passage downwards, and had hardly got fairly under weigh, when she struck with considerable violence on the anchor of a schooner lying off Jones's Coal-wharf. Great alarm prevailed amongst the passengers, of whom there were nearly 200. Captain Hollingharn immediately put the Vesper's head across the stream, drove over the river, and ran her on the Essex shore, just above the Ferry house, at the point where Gallion's-reach commences. The accident was perceived from the shore, and the Queen, steam-boat, belonging to the Greenwich and Woolwich Steam-packet Company, Captain Weeks, im mediately put off, and being of lighter draught than the Vesper, went alongside and succeeded in taking out all the passencret's from the Vesper, who were conveyed to Gravesend hy the Queen steamer, and safely landed at the Terrace pier. As the flood-tide came up, the water completely covered the Vesper, and at evening only the funnel could be seen. Early yesterday morning efforts were made to weigh the Vesper, and one of the Govern ment lighters from the Royal Dockyard, Woolwich, was placed alongside the steamer, and the Satellite, belonging to the Star Gravesend Company, was also placed in readiness to lend her assistance. Mr. Dobson, the secre tary of the Company, was at Woolwich during the day, superintending the arrangements. It being found im possible to raise the vessel, the Fairy, Woolwich steamer, was dispatched to London for a number of chains and other apparatus necessary for that purpose. The Fairy and the Government lighter were employed up to a late hour in weighing her. It is supposed that a plank has been carried away from her bottom. ietrl.SacEtSeSrlOlNvaSs tried.—A case extraordi naryowf.ereaktl:LerAanyounggirl: iu ar named Eliza Whelpton , in the course of the summer left last • her home at Laceby , in L incolnshire, and took a p lace of service at the college , a t Hull. She went home for a while ill ; but instead of returning to her situation ou her recovery, she unhappily fell in the way of a notorious procures:s, named Cooke, and wes by her induced to go home with her to her residence in Lamb's-court ; here her ruin was effected by one of the debauchees of Hull, with whom the infamous woman locked her up. The girl's soul revolted at the idea of a life of prostitution, and she was kindly received by a worthy woman, with out by n t c h ev e a Le rs w hz • lc o li m t, c a a. s C t 0, o ) f o t k ,N‘n e ,ie , na N p ‘ r ? i i ln o gh l e i ar a i d ltlon o lr b (i t :l a b : whom she went to reside, in Hull.

At 'Hull Sessions, last week, she was brought to trial, and on the testimony of the girl Whelpton, corroborated by numerous other wit nesses, was convicted of receiving stolen goods, and by the Recorder was sentenced to fourteen years' transpor tation. The judgment was received with loud cheers by a densely crowded court. This burst of feeling was suppressed ; and afterwards the Recorder called several persons from Lincolnshire, who testified as to the girl's former innocence of character, and also her present good conduct. The Severn steamer, from London, brought over 375 paupers to Cork last week, of whom one was landed in a dying state, fell in the is.trcets, and died next day iu the hospital. Cork Hull
