THE FIRST NU M BER OF THE RAILWAY STANDARD WILL AP• PEAR ON SATURDAY NEXT, OCTOBER 11. ." This Journal will be as large as the Morning Herald, and contain 64 eolumns. The RAILWAY' STANDARD Wlll contain full, impartial, and original reports of all important Railway Meetings; and a careful summary of such matters as may not require to be given in detail. Office, No. 8, Upper Wellington-street, North Strand, where all communications aro to be addressed to the Editor, and Advertise ments will be received. Tll Portsmouth 'will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected betweeS London asd Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth. From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton Railroad is • .. - ... 21 miles. The junction to be made by this Company is .••• • • • • 45 „ From the paint near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the _ _ Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is . . 7 „ Total distance from London to Portsmouth.-- •• • . 73 miles. From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and which will place Chichester in direct communication with London. The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be 62 miles. Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without stopping at Chllgrove. Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfleld, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightharn, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham. The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the making of 21 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between Portsmouth and Chatham will extenl over 82 miles. - To the naval and military establishments •of this kingdom the construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabout, will enable the journey between them to be made. The formation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be obtained between places of national importance. The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part of the line is pledged to this undertaking. The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the Inutility of all comment in that respect.

In subroittin,g this undertaking to the public, the promoters are influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in affording a direct communication botween the two great military and naval arsenals of Great B Hain —Portsmouth and Chatham. The projected endertakin;, by proceeding to the two termini at Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of communica tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England, connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and ,Southampton towards the Neat. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail way tha advantage of two termini In London will be secured—the one at the Bilcklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions. The line of railway Intended to be constructed by this Company will" eommenee at or near th e R e dhill stat i on near Reigate, on the Lon don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London bridge. In Ito cdtirse to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Icewdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold, Wisboreugh-green, Plaistow Haslemere Chiddingfold, North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, 2.lldhu'rst Chil rem ' e, Stoughton, Becton, Westbouree, and Ernsworth, at or near ' which last•mentioned place th!s pr 4cctedline will join the Chi c h ester and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land owners, branches are proposed to be made to God a l m i ng and Pete main line The branch to Godalming will be from a point i n the n‘Lisn Peters field. between Plaistow and North Chapel; and th e branch from Petersteld will ;oin the main line at a point between Bidhuret and Bepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in crease necessary in Una amount of the capital originally fixed on ; hot from the increased accommodation which these branches will afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a corn- Inenstrrate profit will result to the shareholder. A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main line at or near Capel. ny. this course the entire distance to travel between London and FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The recent premature demonstration in Italy by the de. voted advocates of popular institutions, adds another mourn ful tablet to the melancholy records which, of late years, have accumulated in what we must rather designate as the tomb than the temple of Italian freedom. New victims to the noble cause of renovating the political and domestic institu tions of that magnificent country have already expiated, at various points within the legation of Ravenna, their generous but ill-matured attempt to induce the Pontifical Government to grant to remonstrance and appeal that which it has been heretofore attempted to extort by physical force. Others are, we fear, reserved for the usual mercies manifested by the PorE for political pri soners who have been declared guilty, by his arbitrary Com missions, of treason to the Papal authority, by reason of such overt acts as having landed on the shores of Romagna; or reached, without passports or other authority, some port in the Adriatic ; or been living in seclusion and misery among the fastnesses of Calabria. It is remarkable that on thislast oc casion, although the champions of " Young Italy" had so far succeeded as to seize and disarm the municipal authorities and executive of Rimini, and to retain that town for some days in military possession ; and although, as there seems good reason to believe, they had previously organised a contemporaneous movement at Faenza, Imola, and even Bologna itself, they declared by manifesto and proclamation, that it was not their intention in the event of their success to displace the Roman Government, but merely to secure the concession and estab lishment of such rights on its subjects as might for the future protect them from the recurrence of the griev ances, the exactions, and oppressions that the people inhabiting the States of the Church with so much reason complain of. After making in Rimini and elsewhere a really formidable impression, the insurgents dispersed and fled—some to the Appenines, others to the sea. They were hotly pursued by combined bodies of the Papal Carabineers, the Swiss corps, and the mounted Custom house officers. Though much alarm seems still to have existed at the date of the last accounts, we should doubt much whether the movement may not be regarded, for the present, as defeated. The intelligence, however, must be looked upon in every respect as highly important. It reveals some facts from which the friends of the established order of things under the Pope's Government, and the friends of the regeneration of Italy, are equally interested in drawing a lesson of instruc tive experience. The former may be assured, on considering the promptitude, boldness, and extensive organisation of the affair at Rimini, that the principles which set it in motion have a vitality and energy speedily manifest themselves under some new combinations. The stand which the insurgents made in retaining their position for the period that they held it, may teach the Pontifical Councils that so long as they obstinately refuse to modify the tyrannical institutions which the Sovereign PONTIFF has introduced throughout his Italian dominions, so long will new physical resources be brought in aid of the moral force of popular opinion, and the complaints of the oppressed. The POPE can scarcely be so infatuated as to imagine that the Gothic rigour, and uncouth but despotic machinery of his Government can much longer co-exist with the general advance and improvement of political in. stitutions and public rights in all the other States of Europe. In the meanwhile we hope that the party of Young Italy—a party whose generous purposes and patriotic devotion com. mend our warmest sympathy and most sincere respect—will profit by the recollections of this last disaster. Who leads them in France ? Who is really their trusted head, their general director in England ? We are deeply impressed by some incidental remarks in the French newspapers on the notoriety which the intentions of the insurgents had acquired on the same day, probably the same hcur, in Paris and at Marseilles. Their plan of operations, their purposes, were actually discussed in the public coffee-houses; and in Italy itself their intentions seem to have been for two or three days previous to the seizure of Rimini known to the Papal authorities at various places. This knowledge would appear to have been so easily obtained, that one is tempted to doubt whether it was not rather communicated to, than acquired by, those authorities. In every previous demonstration that has been made by the active and valiant partizans of Young Italy their gallant efforts seem to have bean neutralised by some as yet unexplained bungling, some inveterate mismanagement, on the part of Young Italy's standing counsel—whoever they may be, wherever theyreside. The enterprise, spirit, and almost romantic intrepidity of the one have been thwarted, damped, and check-mated by the incapable presumption of the other. The stirring champions of the cause have vindicated their courage, and, to some ex teat, their conduct in these operations in Romagna, al though they have for the present eventuated in failure. bat the latent oracles, whose questionable inspiration, and very doubtful truth, inspire their movements, seem to be earning only new titles tc the incredulity and repudiation of all the foreign friends of Italian regeneration. We would fain hope, but we have sad misgivings to the contrary, that new BANDEIRAS, that other 3 oung and high-souled sons of Italy, may not be destined to testify with their blood against the unrelenting tyranny of the Papal Government; and the impracticable and hopeless im becility—if it be not something worse—of the civil leaders wider whose suggestions or instructions they have dared all, sacrificed their own lives, and ruined the fortunes of their he .uses. Alas! for " Young Italy." and it has communicated nothing of it to the country. And to reduce a chief of some roving bands, who for five years has escaped from all pursuit, an army is placed in BEGEAUD'S bands four times more considerable than the army of Italy under BONAPARTE. Truly it appears that after having ex aggerated the shame, these folks still want to exaggerate the ridicule of the matter." A grand concert was to have taken place on Tuesday evening, at the Tuileries, but, in consequence of the disastrous news from Algeria, it had been countermanded. The following are other extracts from the papers : The progress of the new Reformation in Germany far ex ea eds the most sanguine expectation, and promises to confer tb a greatest blessings on the Catholic population of that ex te naive country. The pastor RONGE is looked upon with a jealous eye by the Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia, and by Kings in general, " perplexed with the fears of change," but the people enter heartily into the cause. The modern LUTHER is received by them everywhere with open arms. At Ulm, Stuttgard, panheim, Heidelberg, and latterly at Frankfort, his arrival was welcomed by immense crowds, and his march through the different states is described as r ssembling more the :gorgeous triumph of a con.. qperor than the journey of a Christian minister. 1 tut the most important point of all remains to be noticed. The riots at Leipsic bad given :great uneasiness to the Go vernment of the King of SaxoNv, and as these were sup posed to have been caused by the excitement connected with the new religion, the Chambers of that kingdom, on t heir assembling some ten days since, proposed to appoint a committee to take into considemtion the whole question of German Catholicism, as promulgated by RONGE. A com mittee, after some discussion, was accordingly appointed. They were not long in making their report, and we are t.7atified to find that it is so liberal and satisfactory. The report enters into the state of the question, and the progress of the new doctrines, as well as other opinions not i mmediately connected with Church affairs. " The move rnent," it says, " which has taken place in the whole of Ger many, has been, followed by a series of events which could not fail to interest every thinking mind, as well as the Go vernments of the various countries in which they occurred. One of the most prominent of these occurrences is the separation of a considerable number of Catholics from the Roman Catholic Church, and the formation of a German Catholic Church, the communities of which are continually increasing in various parts of the country. This new church .is not only different with regard to its dogmas and church organisation from that from which it has sepa rated itself, but also from all the other churches and commu pities of Germany, professing, however, at the same time to be a Christian church." The report then recommends the Government to decree the following temporary regulations with regard to the German Catholic Church and its commu nities, addir g some additional points for future consideration : " 1. That in all such places where, in consequence of the great number of German Catholics or other local circumstances, the al. location of a particular place of worship should become necessary, the use of an evangelical church should be permitted to the new community, with the exception, however, of the permission of ringing the belts of that church, &c. 2. The doc trines preached by the ministers of the new church must not militate against the constitution of the state. 3. The ministers of the new church 'are permitted to perform in their communities the ceremonies of baptism, marriage, and burial, on the condition, however, that a Protestant clergyman be always present on the occasion, but that the latter shalt not be obliged to afford his attendance. The Committee is of opinion that, considering all the circumstances, and in order that these temporary regulations should be the more effectual, the mi. nisters of the German Catholic Church ought to he allowed to perform in their communities the ceremonies of baptism, mar riage, and burial, having only to indicate the same to the resident Protestant divines; and that with respect to marriages, the former should only perform the religious ceremony. The Committee points further out the following two objects for the future conside ration of the Chamber and the Ministers—viz., first, whether the members of the new church will have to continue to pay in the meantime church.rate to the Roman Catholic Church ? Secondly, whether they will continue to enjoy the same rights and privileges as before the separation ?" Madrid papers of the Ist instant state that the trial of CORTINA, MADOZ, and others, said to have been implicated in the insurrection at Alicante, had commenced, and excited much interest. CORTINA is in Fn ►ce, but MADOZ was pre sent, and made a powerful detente of himself anti the other persons accused. The trial was expected to last for some day, and little doubt existed that all would be acquitted. The Gazette contains the names of the new Councillors of State, but with the exception of BRAVO MURILLO, DE BAL LISTEROS, DE CASTRO, and one or two more, they are un known to the English reader. Sir ROBERT INGLIS arrived at Madrid on the Ist, and Mr. BULWER on the same day resumed his official duties at the Court. Some private transactions took place on the Bourse at 33 for cash. Nearly all the Paris papers contain articles on the late dis asters in Africa, and the measures ad .pted by the KING in Council for pursuing ABD-EL-KADER wherever he is to be found. The opinions on this latter subject expressed by the Journal des Debats we published yesterday. The Epoque, the other Government journal, has also an article in a similar style, announcing that the restless enemy of the French will not be allowed to escape with impunity, even within the frontiers of Morocco. Ne thing can be said against this; if the EMPEROR cannot prevent the enemies of France from taking shelter in his dominions, and issuing out when it suits their purpose, he must take the consequence. This sort of game the English Government submitted to with most astonishing patience when the Canadian insurgents and the American sympathisers made so many incursions upon the inhabitants within the Canadian frontier. The comments of the Paris Opposition journals are not at all favourable to the policy of the Government, though they in general approve of the determination to take vengeance on ABD-EL-KADER, by dispatching an additional body of troops. Th e y all complain, however, that no official dispatches of the deplorable events have yet been published. The Constitutionnel, after attributing all these which have lately occurred to the treaties of Tangiers and Lalla Magheria, says : —"We must now repair the disaster, and destroy by a signal vengeance the moral effect of the transitory triumph of ABD EL-KADER. Under these grave circumstances we will not say a word concerning Marshal BUGEAUD or General DE Luna- RICIERE which shall not be an expression of confidence in these brave officers and the troops under their command. We shall see what use will be made of the reinforcements that are to be sent to Oran. For a year past enormous errors, having sanginnary results, have been committed. We must at least have the courage to permit our troops to repair them." The Commerce takes a more gloomy view of the state of affairs. "There is not a single bulletin of victory in which the Duke D' ISLY has not announced the definitive submission of the Arabs, and the pacification of Algeria ; and yet insurrections do not cease succeeding each other, and the whole is to be recom menced each time. He represented, some weeks back, the horrible execution of the Debra as being of a nature to put an end to insurrections, by striking the tribes with astonish ment, and now a new taking up of arms again contradicts his anticipations; far from terrifying the Arabs, these cruel ties only excite them to vengeance, an d t h e massacre of M. Moscraorrac's troops is, perhaps, only an act of reprisal. Colonization gets on no better than war; the Government is for one system, and M. BUGEUAD fur another. During all this time nothing has been done, and throughout this vast territory we scarcely reckon six thousand colonists." " Thus, then," exclaims the Courrzer Francais, " 100,000 of tr:e 1 troops are no longer sufficient to maintain tran quility in Africa. To o ur former sacrifices new ones must be l a i d a e a le t d a , rm an y d o e f ig A h fr t i r o e a g .

" Either the Ministry," says that facts the tsn s o i w t k a o o w n n o f r our e a s o ff u a t i inr j i . s o t. o n order c ‘ a ‘ h is a s f f o a r r h l g t s r t a t o v e l b t r s e t t h h a s o n e u n g s t h e s h e t , In indispensable to augment with eight regiments the army of Africa, GE A u a D t lr o ea his dy s G o o n v u eru me m ro e u u s t: a o n u d r t w o s w en or d m in us a t ll u h e a o s e t s e sa M. rilyßhere threatened with some very formidable peril. What, then, is really going on? Has ABD-EL-KADER dethroned Mumar ADDERRIIAMAN ? Does he dispose at present with full authority of all the forces of Morocco ? Or has the Moor, aware by the events of last year that France may be laughed at with impunity, again lent to the Emir the open aid of the forces of the empire ? If such be the ease, why is the Ministry so unaccountably silent ? Here it has been aware for some days of this information, " The Abbe Ronge, accompanied by his brother and some preachers of the German Catholic Church, arrived at Frankfort on the 4th. and was received with enthusiasm. On his way to Frank fort he was received with acclamations by the people of Worms ; and in some other places the inhabitants received him with the same demonstrations as if he had been a sovereign. " Don Carlos and the Princess de Beira left Marseilles for Italy on Thursday morning. Although they started at an early hour, several Spaniards of the Carlist party were in waiting to pay their respects to the royal exiles. " We learn from St. Petersburgh that the Emperor of Russia, as another mark of his satisfaction at the bravery and skill of Prince Woronzow, has given him the command of a regiment of hussars, which is in future to bear his name. " Count de Cancrin, formerly Minister of Finance in Russia, died at Paulosh last month, after a short malady. " The Privileged Gazelleof Bologna, of the 29th ult., announces that the Pontiticaltroops re-entered Rimini at eleven o'clock in the morning of the 27th ult., the insurgents having either embarked or fled into the mountains on their approach. The accounts re ceived this morning at Bologna,' adds the Gazelle, state. that the rebels dispersed in the mountains had been overtaken by the Swiss troops, the carabineers, and the Custom-house officers on the aide of Baize, in the legation of Ravenna, where they were routed with the loss of some killed and wounded. In the meantime, another band was met by the carabineers and the Pontifical volun teers, and the Custom.house officers at Badi, in the legation of Bologna, and 14 revolters were disarmed and made prisoners by the loyal troops.' " The Ilainburgh Gazette states, from Riga, that the cholera has appeared in Livonia, and caused many deaths. " IVI. Chesnau, banker and mayor of Montoire, has just been condemned by the Court of Assizes, Vendome. to a year's im prisonment, and a fine of 14,000 f, to the parties civiles, as guilty of simple bankruptcy. His debts amounted to 1,200,000 E, and his assets to 400,000 f. Several families have been involved in ruin by this failure."

(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURORELL.) MORGAN V. ALTREE. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 5/. ls., the balance of an account for goods supplied. The plaintiff was a wholesale cheesemonger, in Marlborough-street, and the defendant is a shopkeeper. The defendant pleaded payment. Mr. Cnoucn, who appeared for the defendant, applied to the Court on the subject of the costs, observing that, as the plaintiff had withdrawn the record on the last occasion, he was bound to pay the costs of the previous day before he could go to trial, but, unfortunately, the judges' order was not returnable till to-morrow, therefore, he hoped, that as the costs had not been paid, the case would be adjourned. The Learned UNDERSHERIFF said that he could not post pone the case on a question of costs—that must be settled in the Court above. Charles John Smeetham, assistant to the plaintiff, was called, and proved the delivery of goods to the amount of upwards of 10/. The last item in the account: was in January, 1844, and in that month witness applied for pay ment of a bill of 5/. lls. 7d. An attempt was made on cross-examination to show that the plaintiff had passed through the Insolvent Court, but as the fact had not been pleaded, the evidence could not be gone into. Mr. CROUCH then made a forcible address to the jury, and said that he was by a technicality barred from putting some material questions. He could, however, put in a receipt for SL, dated some months later than January, and that must consequently apply to the balance of 51. 3s. 11d. claimed in January. The Learned Counsel put in the document as evi dence. Mr. THomns for the plaintiff replied. The UNDER - SHERIFF summed up, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterda y were only about 2,000 ba'es, including 300 for expert. 1 3 rices were nominally without alteration. There was but little doing in Shares, and the market was very dull. There was not any important sale of colonial or foreign produce to-day, but it is satisfactory to be enabled to state that the trade and commerce are in a most satisfactory condition. We may notice officially the active demand which continues to exist for wools, the produce of the British Colonies, which are realising very fair, and full prices. The purchases, too, are made almost exclusively for immediate consumption. The same remark will apply to the Indigo sales, that are now in progress. Much interest is attached to the expose of the revenue returns for the present quarter, which will be made public in a very few days. Taking the reduction of duties into consideration, it is fully expected that the resources of the country will be found to have been most beneficially augmented in those items which denote prosperity among the labouring population of the United Kingdom. Folio% ing up the few remarks we made under this head two or three days back, as to the great cattle fair at Ballinasloe, it is with pleasure we are enabled to state that the prices realised for Sheep and Cattle exceed the most sanguine expectations of the flock-masters and graziers. It is to be hoped that the agriculturists of Ireland will take advantage of the present favourable con dition of the markets there as well as in England, to turn attention to the improvement of their flocks and farms, and thus reader their condition as good as it ought to be. It is the opinion of practical men in this country that, with a moderate degree of care and industry, the produce of the Sister Isle might, in a low years only, be doubled. There are no arrivals of the least importance in the City to-day. A good deal of business has been transacted in the Consol Market to-day at prices varying from 98% to 98%. For the Account the quotation has been most steadily main tained at 98 1 ,4. Exchequer-bills reached 50s. in the early part of the day, but they are now at 48s. premium. India Stock commands 266. The Foreign Funds were in better demand to-day. Bra zilian reached 86, Danish 89 and 88. Mexican were sold at 31%, Peruvian at 38 and 37%, the Spanish Three per Cents at 38%, the Deferred at 15%, and the Dutch Two and-a-llalf per Cents at 60%. The Railway Share Market has been scarcely so firm upon the whole as it was yesterday. The French lines continue in request. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. 3 per Cent.

Philbrick, Esq., surgeon, Mill.street, in this town. It appears that in a bed-room with a southern aspect, a watercroft full of water, standing on a dressing-table, condensed the calorific rays of the sun to a focus on an embroidered mat, which ignited, as also did another which adjoined it. The smell alarmed the inmates, and caused a search, which led to the discovery of the burning mate rials, and the timely prevention of further mischief.—Worcester shire Chronicle. FORMS OF INTEMPERANCE.—There is the intem perance of mirth, and then its victim is a silly buffoon; the intem perance of seriousness, and then he is a gloomy ascetic; the intem perance of ambition, and then he is the laurelled hero of a hundred fights, a madcap poet :a mountebank statesman; the intemperance of love, and then he is a good-for-nothing driveller; the intern. perance of anger, and then he is a frothing madman ; the intem perance of dress and manners, and then he is a glittering fop ; the intemperance of the purse, and then he is a sordid miser; the in temperance of the palate, and then he is a filthy glutton ; the in temperance of the bowl, and then he is a reeling drunkard. DEATII FROM AN OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUM.—OD Friday morning last, William Bailey, mechanic, of Lee-street, Chorlton.upon-Medlock, died from having taken an overdose of laudanum on retiring to bed the previous night. The deceased was a man of intemperate habits, and had been accustomed to taking laudanum as a stimulus; and there was no reason to suppose that he had taken it in this instance with the intention of producing death. At the inquest on Monday a verdict in accordance with the above circumstances was returned. The deceased was forty five years of age, and has left a widow and children.—Manchester Guardian. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The heavy falls of rain last week not only interrupted the operations of harvest, but threw a gloom over the prospect which was entertained ; of the crop being secured in safe condition. Grain in the hands of dealers was consequently held with more firmness, and higher prices asked. The quantity of rain which fell in the course of the week was unu sually great. From six o'clock on Thursday evening to six on Friday morning, there fell no less than an inch. The crop in stock was thorougly soaked, but fortunately the atmosphere was so cold as to preclude the risk of immediate danger from sprout. Since Monday the cold has continued, the thermometer ranging from 42 to 46. The weather has been dry and breezy, however, and so far favourable for cutting down that portion of the crop already ripe, and although it has not ripened in the proper sense of the word the later crops, it has to some extent deadened them, and so far prepared them for the sickle. The grez.t bulk—indeed almost the whole crop in this neighbourhood has been cut down, and much of it secured. In the higher but not the latest districts, a good deal has been stooked, but a very small proportion transferred to the stackyard. In the latest corn-growing districts there will be no general harvest for ten or fourteen days. In these circumstances, at so advanced a period of the season, more or less of disaster may almosq certainly be looked for; and in any event it is to be feared that the present prices will at least be maintained.—Caledonian Mersury of Thursday. INTERESTING TO LONDON ANGLERS.—The roach season being now at its height in the Thames, the river in the vicinity of Richmond, Twickenham, and Teddington, daily exhi bits a scene of animation by reason of the great number of bank and punt anglers constantly visiting those localities. Last Sunday, at Richmond alone, in the preserve, and on its banks, about 200 Waltonians were assembled, to say nothing of the number of anglers that were engaged higher up the river. Several piscatorial parties, after walking to Twickenham and Teddington, found the boats and punts pre-engaged, and were obliged to return to town without having their fill of sport. The " takes" of roach and other fish at the above.named places have, for some time past, been very numerous, fine, and heavy. WOOLWICH, OCT. B.—The Devastation steam frilate, Commander Kitchen, was paid off to.day at Woolwich. The Growler steam.frigate, Commander F. H. Buckle, is discharg ing her stores, and will be paid off here. The crew and engineers appear remarkably healthy considering that they have arrived from the coast of Africa. The Ringdove sloop, 16, Captain Sir William Daniel, is ordered home from the coast of Africa, and was to leave Ascension about a week after the Growler, and will take 11. , me a part of the crew and engineers of the Ardent steam-vessel, Com mander John Russell (b), ordered to be paid off, having been in commission since the early part of 1841. The crew of the Ardent have been very healthy, only one having died for a considerable period. Several powerful 8-inch guns, weighing about 67 cwt., are preparing in the Royal Arsenal for the Grampus, and others of equal calibre and weight for the Nelson, and for service in the Carnatic, and at Corfu. BALLINASLOE FAIR, OCT. 6.—Monday was devoted to the sale of the remnant stock of sheep, and to re-sales of former purchases, many of which took place sit increased prices, whilst there was a general rise of Is. 6d. or 2s. on the market of Satur day. From the immense number of horses of all kinds prancing up and down through every street, one would fancy that the horse fair had commenced. It does not, however, begin until to-morrow, but many purchases were made at a general rise of no less than 25 per cent. on the prices of last year. A middling description of horned cattle has already made its way into town, for which high prices are asked. The number of sheep sold was 66,661 ; unsold, 2,922. Total, 69,563 ; showing a diminution of some 2,000 on the number last year. Good chargers bring from 100/. to 1501. and 1804 ; serviceable hunters, 801. to 120/., &c.; and steady hacks, 40/. to 1001. In fact, the prices have been all through extremely good for the seller. The average price of weddtrs arrangediiithlee classes was as follows :—First class, 21. 13s. ; second, 21. 6s. 6d. ; and third from 38s. to 21. Last year the average prices were—First class, 21. 7s. ; second, 21.; and third, 11. 13s. TWO MEN DROWNED IN A COAL- PIT.— _ n Sun day evening last, ;two men, named Hugh Adam and William M`Donald, lost their lives in the Wellington coal pit, at Aiillerhill, near Dalkeith. The pit, we believe, is about 468 feet deep; and being as yet unwrought, upwards of 120 feet of water had been allowed to accumulate at the bottom. On the night in question, the men whose names are mentioned above, along with another individual named David Clunie, were sent down the shaft for the purpose of stopping up an air -hole; and as they did not calculate on being many minutes in accomplishing this matter, they very carelessly and injudiciously descended without their lamps. When they were about half-way down, some derangement took place in the machinery at the top of the pit, in consequence of which the bucket descended with such velocity, that when it came in contact with the water it canted over, throwing out the unfortunate individuals. Clunie clung to the side of the pit, and got his head above the water; in which position he remained till assistance reached him from above. Adam and l'll`Donald were, however, instantaneously drowned. The former had been 28 and the latter 16 years employed about the works, and were respected for sobriety and steadiness of cha racter. We regret to add that each of them has left a wifo and seven children to lament their irreparable loss.—Caledonian Mercury. CORONERS' CHARGES.—An important question has arisen as to the costs of the inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate persons who met their deaths by the falling of the Yar mouth Suspension Bridge. It appears that the coroner, contrary to precedent where so many lives are lost, has charged for seventy. nine inquisitions : coroner's fees, 1/. 6s. Sd. each, and jurymen's and officers' fees. By the 7th Will. 4, and Ist Vic. c. 68, the coroner is required, immediately after the inquest, to pay all fees and charges before he can make out his bill to the county, &c. In the present case the coroner, after the verdict was returned, ad journed the case, sine die, in order to adjust the claims for find ing the bodies, jurymen's fees, kc. (the last alone amounting to 251.) ; they have, however, never been recalled. It has been said that Mr. Baron Alderson has expressly held that the authority of the coroner ceases after such an adjournment. The coroner, therefore, not having complied with the Act of Parliament, will have his charges considerably curtailed, as the council cannot, on that ground, even were they disposed, grant the extra 6s. Bd., and the question of the 11. for each will be decided at the quarter sessions. - DEATH OF AN IDIOT BY SUFFOCATION IN ST. LUCE'S WORKHOUSE.—Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Cumberland Head, City-road, on the body of Sophia Pocock, aged twenty.two years, an idiot, who for some time past had been an inmate of St. Luke's Workhouse. It appeared, from the evidence, that nn Sunday last, the de ceased, who was in the lunatic ward, with others, had her dinner, which consisted of brisket of beef and potatoes, it was cut up in small pieces, as usual, by the nurse; whilst eating which a piece of the beef stuck in her throat, and she became ........ black in the face and violently convulsed. The master of the work house, who saw the imminence of her danger before the arrival of any medical gentleman who was sent for, used the tube of the stomach pump and forced the meat from the gullet; but she died before he succeeded in so doing. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death by Choking." ILLEGAL NETTING IN TIIE THAMES, AND CONVIC TION op THE OFFENDER.—On Saturday last, Henry Dean, fisher man, of ID:d Brentford, was convicted before the Lord Mayor, upon the information of water.bailiffs, John Milbourne and Thomas Webb, for fishing with a net of an unlawful size in the mesh in the Twickenham pt eserve early in the morning of the 30th ult. The Lord Mayor corhietnned the act, and told the offender he should fine him in the fua penalty of a on his next appearance on a similar charge. TESTIMONIAL. TO MR. T. lIOLT, OF VAUXHALL..

BRUSSELS, Ocr. 6.—The Commercial Council: of Brussels, in its "sitting to-day, appointed a Committee of five mem bers, in addition to the existing Board, to have the direction of all affairs relative to the supply of provisions. A vote of credit to the amount of 100,000 f. was then passed, to be placed at the disposal of thismixed commission. By a resolution of Ist 0 ctober, the permanent deputation of the province of Antwerp has appointed a Special Commission in every district (the commissary being president), to dis cuss the measures to be taken in the rural districts, relative to the high price of provisions. A considerable quantity of potatoes, purchased in Eng land, has just arrived at Brussels. A letter from Dusseldorf, of the 3d of October, says— " The opening of the railway from Dusseldorf to Cologne will take place on the Ist of November next. The general meet ing of the shareholders of the railway from 'Dusseldorf to Elberfeld, took place yesterday. The result of this meeting was highly satisfactory. A great house in this city purchased shares to the amount of 150,000 f.
