The Athol troop-:hip, Mr. Faro, Master Commander, came alongside the wharf wall at Woolwich Dockyard, yes terday, to take on board the bagzige of Captain Lake's c •mpany of the sth battalion Royal Artillery, under orders for Leith Fort, North Britain. The company was relieved yesterday morning from field battery duty, by Captain Flude's company, 7th battalion, and assembled at twelve o'clock in heavy marching order, on the guard mounting parade, with Brigade Major Cuppage's company, 9th batta lion, recently returned from Devonport, for the inspection of Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison. His Lordship, attended by Major Armstrong, Acting Brigade-Major, Major Smith, Cap v t::in and Adjutant Ormsby, and Captain and Adjutant Maclean inspected the men very minutely, and expressed himself crighly pleased with their clean and soldierlike ap pearance. Captain Lake's company embarked at the Wool wich Dockyard, at one o'clock r.x. to-day, in the Athol troop- tlip, for Leith. Barretto, Junior, hired freight-chip, which left Woolwich on the 28th of August last, with Major Anderson's company • and Capt. Stanway's company, both of the Ist battalion of the Royal Artillery, for Halifax, Nova Scotia, arrived at their destination on the 28th September, and the vessel was ex pected to sail on the sth of October, on her return to head quarters at Woolwich with Major Lock's and Capt. Mee's companies of the Bth battalion. The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., fitting here for service at the Bight of Benin and coast of Africa, is not to be engaged in the pursuit and capture of slave-vessels, although she is well armed, in case of being at tacked. Iler employment is to be entirely devoted to the survey of a large portion of the coast of Africa, where so many British steamers and ships of war are now employed in putting down the slave trade at its principal sources. The Avon being about to be employed on particularsurveying service in a pact of the world in the great majority of cases fatal to European constitutions, has been prepared for the special service in which she is to be engaged, with every care and precaution that the aid or art of man can suggest for the convenience, comfort, and preservation of the health of her officers and crew. She is fitted with iron water bulk- heads between the engine-room . and the other parts of the vessel, and around and in' the roofing of the deck cabins. The cabins, and the parts of the vessel appropriated to the cre , s- are supplied with prostrate and shower-baths, adapted to there places, to afford ample opportunities of ablution to • promote health, and to add to the Comfort of the officers and crew and relieve the sick. The meat safes are protected from insects and high temperature by similar means. Eight boats had been provided' for the Avon, two of which are • whale-boats, and fitted as life-boats, and every one of the eight boats fitted with awnings and Iledpath's cooking appa artus, with complete canteens down to the minutia; of salt spoons, for the comfort of ,detached parties, whether in the boats or marquees they carry with them. The Lords of the Admiralty have also been pleased to allow separate patent galleys fur cooking the officers' and ships company's provi sions on deck, thereby diminishing the bulk of cooking duties, and additional in the vessel, had the whole cooking been perforated betwixt the decks. The peculiar service on which the Avon is to be employed in traversing the hitherto unexplored part of the Bight of Benin induced Commander Denham to take every precaution for the safety of the crew and vessel; and from the experience he had obtained while engaged in surveying on the British coast, he applied to their Lordships and obtained thirty-one of Porter's anchors, of sorts adapted to the vessel and the boats, and they have been tested and stowed, after being separated into three parts, as ballast in the hold; and so sa- tisfied does he feel of their value, that he has not taken, nor will he take, any other description on board during his voyage. She als , , carries a stock of Warlick's patent fuel, which it is anticipated will stand the test of being stowed in small compass, and not be affected by a high temperature. One thousand tons of the same fuel proceeds by the Avon to Accra for her especial use. On entering the private cabins of this vessel this morning, they were as pure and sweet as the best rooms of private residences could be, owing to the windows being open all night, and merely protected by the wire-gauze ventilators. The Ardent steam-vessel, Commander J. Russell (b), ar rived at Woolwich yesterday evening from Ascension and Portsmouth, all well. Lieutenant Charles R. Johnson, who went out in the Eclair, but was transferred to the Ardent, has returned in the latter vessel in excellent health. The crew of the Growler are permitted to have commu nication with . the shore to receive necessaries and fresh water, but not to go out at the gate, or mix with the per sons employed in the dockyard. No new cases have oc curred, or any symptoms tending to create alarm, yet every precaution is very properly taken to prevent the chance of danger. The two persons of the crew who had been ill some time before the arrival of the vessel, but were con sidered convalescent, have bad a relapse, their constitu tions having been impaired when employed on the coast of Africa. QUEEN'S OWN WORCESTER- SHIRE YEOMANRY CAVALRY. WORCESTER, FRIDAY.—This fine body of men are now assembled in this city for eight days' permanent duty, under the command of Colonel the Hon. IL H.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the f_ond,n New Price Current of Oct. 17.) SUGAIL—To-day West India Sugar was; Imrchwed with caution fot all purpose,, and only 370 hhas. &c., were dis 'posed of. but merchants for the most part rem ain lirm. Prices closed much the same as on Friday last. middling and geol y llo.ti, and strong relining qualities are decidedly not cheaper. _ _ LEFINED.—To-day 64s to to 64s 6d werrs the rates taken for brown grocery lump, and 65s to 6:is •titl cwt for stattdard lumps, but at these rates several' purchases were made by the home trade. Bonded Gushed. Sugar is oared at 37s for first quality. MAnumus—lmporters have been less in dined to realise this week, and supply- the market sparingly., especially with the bt tter descriptions; some packets have; ;been disposed of privat ly upon former terms; at auction MS bags 6 casks were sold very low, dark brown at 355, low ditto 36s 6d to 37s 6 , 1, good middling, yellow 51s, and Syrupy yellow 45s to 46. s Cd per cwt. EAST INDIA.—TiIiS afternoon white mkt yellow Bengal Sugar was purchased with increas9d freeeiont, and full rates were paid; for brown, however, prices deck zed is per cwt. Aladras met with a good demand, and 2,102 bags were all sold at full rates for yellow, but brown went is eb taper. For pub lic sale on Tuesday 5,000 bags of Bengal and 100 casks Cey lon Sugar are declared. • FOREIGN.—The purchases made in yellow Havannah have been extremely limited by private treaty, al though there are sellers at rather lower xates, but any materis 1 decline is still prevented by holders supplying the ma rket scantily • large parcels, however, could only 'btu disposed of: but at much lower rates. White and brown Brazil have been purchased with caution by exporters, and our refiners working under bond are r.ot inclined to ope rate, although there are sellers at a further reduction in prices. Porto Rico is dull of sale, and Cuba Muscovado is offered at 23s 6d to 26s pet cwt ; still few buyers are :to be met with. The stock of Foreign has been further inc reased, and the tendency of prices is still downward for all descriptions. MOLASSES.—West India is wanted, and full prices are offered, but business has been checked by :the stock being principally in second hands. Bengal Treacle is wanted, and line fetch 20s per cwt. COCOA.—There has been a much better it.emand for West India, and 467 bags 53 barrels of Trinidad at auction all found purchasers at firm rates. 6 barrels Orenada, good red 42s per cwt; the chief part went at 40s to 45s for sound. Foreign is wanted, but there is still little to. be had, and 41s to 42s is the value of good and fine red Bahia. COFFEE. —This afternoon the market was liberally supplied with Ceylon Coffee, and former prices were suf tained. Mocha met with little attention, and 213 bales half-bales at auction were only in part sold, at easier prices. TEA. —lmpixters of Green have been desirous to realise this week, and submitted to reduced rates for all descriptions, There has been a large quantity brought forward, far exceed ing the wants of the trade, who are not dFsposed to take more than their immediate wants require, :notwithstanding the me.erate rates that prevail. For Blit there has been a falling off in the demand, and merchaens generally are more inclined - to sell, on account of the recent heavy impor tations. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND& —For all dessripticns of Jamaica Rum there has again been an exteusive demand, and a farther advance in prices of Id per gallon Yeas taken place. Demerara has been purchased with increased freedom, and the prices paid 2d above those previously quoted. For Leeward Island the demand has been lively , and prices must be quoted ld higher; in all 453 puns have been disposed of at 2s to 2s ld proof strength. Calcutta is wanted at is lld to is llld proof without certificate, but the mewket is scantily supplied. The stock of all descriptions of Rum is on the decrease, and the deliveries keep large. In Brandy a good business has been transacted. The arrivals of Geneva having been large has caused a decline in the value of common export sorts of 2d. British Corn Spirits 10e 2d per gdlon. kinco.—To-day, during the progress of the sale, 435 chests were withdrawn, and 927 chests hav e passe.l the sale. The biddiogs continue very flat, and although proprietors con tinue to withdraw and buy in considerable: quantities, prices rule from the last. sale's rates to 3d advance for Bengal, from par to 2d for dry leaf Madras, and 2d to 3d for middling to good burp .he, whilst the ordinary and low- 'kinds are chiefly bought in under the July sales' valuations. SPIOES.—The mat ket is still largely supplied with Jamaica Ginger; prices continue to go down. Of East India an in creased quantity having been brought forward, a decline in the value ... of 5s Co lOs has occurred. Prices have been sustained for Black Pepper, and there has been a larger business transacted. White has met with attention, and 513 bags, at auction, sold at full rates. Cloves are held for the previous value, nnd several parcels have been taken privately. Mace is hss wanted, and the rates taken are rather under those previously quoted. Nutmegs are in demand, and the parcels disposed of privately were at rather high rates Pimento has been much sought after, and buyers are com piled to pay Nei to 4d per lb by private treaty for low and good quality. Cassia Lignea is want ed, and command stiffrates. In Cinnamon little has been transacted. The quarterly sales are fixed fur the 27th, a fair quantity will be offered, but it will consist chiefly of the objectionable descriptions for which the market has a very dull appearance, and prices rule ex ceedingly low. RICE —Bengal is not to be purchased upon lower terms. The value of Madras is lOs to 18s per , cwt, and there are several orders, but little to be had at present. An increased demand has existed f Sago, and pines kaep on the rise. FRUIT.-Of new Valentin llaiscns there has been further arrivals; prices steady at 435, with a good demand. COCHINEAL—This afternoon the market was more liberally supplied with Cochineal. At auction 220 l ags Honduras were offered, but the whole sold with much spirit at ld per lh ad _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ • FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. W,HITEHALL, OCT. 14, 1845.

The meeting for duty is later than usual this autumn, on account of the harvest having been delayed by the cold sum mer. This regiment is acknowledged to be one of the most re spectable and efficient corps of Yeomanry Cavalry in the kingdom, if, indeed, it is second to any, and has repeatedly received the encomiums of the reviewing officer. Two pieces of artillery are attached to it, and it possesses a fine brass band. The martial exercises commenced to-day. Wednesday next will be the grand field-day, when the regiment will be regularly reviewed in full uniform. The review of 1843 was honoured by the presence of the Queen Dowager and an illustrious party, from Witley Court. Her Majesty left Witley Court yesterday for a short visit to the Queen, at Windsor, but will return early next week, and may probably again attend the review, should the weather be fine. MERCHANT TAILORS' SCHOOL. The half-yearly examination of this ancient foundation took place on Thursday in the presence of the master of the company, Mr. Thomas Jackson, the wardens, and a large number of the Court. The examiners were the Rev. Pro fessor Browne, of King's College, Prebendary of St. Paul's, and the Rev. Dr. Sleath. After the examination, with which the examiners declared themselves highly satisfied, the Court were conducted into the school-room by the Rev. J. A. Hessen 13. D., the head master, in order to hear speeches delivered by the senior boys, after the usual custom. Here a very large company was assembled, consisting of many distinguished clergymen and gentlemen educated at the school, and various friends and relatives of the boys. The following is a programme of the speeches, of which we will only observe that they were all well and carefully delivered; some of the speakers, especially Mr. Warne, who spoke the comic speech, acquitted themselves with a great deal of spirit : SUBJECTS AND ORDER OF THE SPEECHES.

In thtl evening a large portion of the audience assembled at Merchant Tailors'-hall•to partake of the magnificent hos pitality of the company. ESCAPE OF A HORSE STEALER.—At the petty ses sions held at Ilford a short time since, a man named Henry Bradley, a horse dealer, living at Chigwell, was committed for trial, charged with stealing a horse, the property of a tradesman residing in Whitechapel. Preparatory to his removal to Newgate be was conveyed to Ilford gaol for security, the lock-up at the Angel Inn, where the sessions are held, not being deemed sufficiently safe. Soon after he was locked up in the cell, he by some means managed to slip the bolt and get into the yard attached to the women's side of the gaol. In this part of the prison a new building, for a wash-house, with a roof slanting from the outer wall of the gaol, has recently been erected. Having got on to the top of the wall, he was able to drop without hurting himself in the meadow which surrounds the prison. His escape w.. , s soon found out, and a strict search was made in the neighbourhood for him, but without success. A descrip tion of him was advertised in the Hue and Cry for two suc cessive weeks, with the same result. At length information was received at the gaol that a person answering his descrip tion was at Woolwich. Mr. Anderson, the governor of the gaol, immediately proceeded there, and found that his late prisoner had enlisted in the Artillery. He secured him and conveyed him forthwith to Newgate, where he now remains awaiting his trial. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A WEDDING.—OR Thurs day evening, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a party of friends having met at the house of Mr. G. Hem ndon, of Upper street, Islington, to celebrate the wedding of his eldest son, Thomas, with Miss Robertson, of Ely-place, Holborn, some of them commenced singing, and one of them having sung a song called "The Mistleto-bough," the bride jocosely ob served that she would imitate the heroine, as there was no fear of any such fatal result.; and, accompanied by some of her female friends, she ran up stairs, followed by her husband and some others of the company. The ladies concealed them selves in a room on the second floor, when a young man of the name of Brooks, a law-writer, residing in Penton-street, Pentonville, laving succeeded in forcing the door, Mrs. Hearndon, in carrying out the jest, rushed to the chimney piece, and taking down a pistol, presented it at Mr. Brooks, and, drawing the trigger, to the horror of all present, dis covered it was loaded. The charge entered Mr. Brooks's left aide, and he immediately fell. Medical assistance was in stantly sent for, and Mr. Greigson, of Gibson-square, was called in, who declared the wound to be of a most dangerous character. THE HALF PART OF THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN THE RivEn.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Queen's Head, High -street, Poplar, on the partial re mains of the b,ly of a young man, apparently between sixteen and twenty years of age. The portion of the body was picked up yesterday mulling floating from the river into the West India Docks- The body «-2S imme,!iately removed to the bone-house. Mr. Bain, surgeon, of Brunswick-terrace, said he bad exami , ed the h dy. He ilituid the whole upper por ti jri o,' •11 a .11 the head n in the we (AY, UL: drowned."

Rape Oil has been sold to a fair extent, pale at 36s to 36s 6d, and brown 35s to 35s 6d. Olive Oil has met with eager purchasers, and prices rule very firm. Palm is wanted, and commands firm rates. The business transacted in Cocoa Nut has been at barely previous quota tions. Of Seal Oil several parcels have been taken, but prices do not, improve. Cod was purchased at 291, but there has been very little business transacted. Sperm is less wanted, and former prices are rot obtainable.

SUICIDE IN TOOLEY-STREET.—Mr. Win. Payne held an inquest on Thursday evening at the Bull Inn, Tooley street, Southwark, respecting the death of John ltunnington, aged fifty •seven years, a grocer, lately carrying on business in Toeley street. It appeared the deceased was a widower with a family of six children, and had been of weak intellect for some time past. On Tuesday morning last he went into his drawing-room, and having called for water the servant left him. Some alarm sub sequently arose at his long absence from the breakfast-table. Con. sequently one of his servants went to his reom door, but was alarmed on finding it fastened. She knocked, but could not get any answer, whereupon she obtained assistance and forced the dcor open. The deceased was then discovered lying on the floor, with a wound across the throat. The deceased had been very un settled of late, owing to some domestic affliction. The jury re turned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." FATAL. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Friday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a young man named Richard Lambert, whilst practising in a boat preparatory to rowing a wager, lost his hold of one of the sculls, which fell into the water near the Thames-police station, and in leaning over to reach it, the boat overbalanced, and the unfortunate young man became im. mersed in the stream. Although the accident was observed by numbers on both sides of the shore, and boats instantly put off, the poor fellow could not be recovered. Lambert was in his twenty. first year, and had been married but a few weeks. The body has not yet been found. WESTMINSTER COURT OF SEWERS.—On Friday a Meeting of the Commissioners of the Westminster division of sewers was held at the Court.house, in Greek.atreet, Soho-square, and was very fully attended. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read (not without discussion), a motion was proposed for the payment of 3,0001. to the contractor on account of work done, in accordance with a recommendation to that effect from the com mittee of accounts. Mr. Leslie opposed the motion, and con demned the mede in which the books and accounts of the Commis sioners were kept. The committee of accounts had sanctioned the payment of money to the contractor before it was due. and the contractor had charged for work which he had no right to do. It was his (Mr. Leslie's) intention to take the whole matter before the Court of Queen's Bench. The Chairman and Mr. Hawkes denied the statements of Mr. Leslie, and defended the conduct of the committee of accounts. After an interchange of remarks of a personal and irritating character the motion (with soma slight mo. dificeion) was put and carried by a majority of 13 to 4. Similar oppusition and violence of debate pervaded the whole of the sub sequent proceedings, the Court presenting little of that deliberative calmness and regularity so drsi•able and necessary in a judici hoard C C .1 ?IL Iit T OOD PAVEMENT TN THE ST.I.ZA.ND.—Tho wood par - uncut in that portion of the :strand within the parish of St. Ciement Darics having, after the trial of three years, proved a failure, the parochial authori!les have solistituted granite, with which that district is now being paved. The old wood pavement, which originally cost 13s. 4d. a square foot, has been sold for a shilling a foot by the Paving Beard, by order of the vestry of St. Clement Danes. DYVIDENDS DECLARED. T.

The half•yearly meeting of the proprietors of thisCompanv was held on Wednesday, at the Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool, Mr. W. Jackson, Chairman of the board of Directors, pre siding. The report was as follows :—" The Directors, pursu ing that course which has before been approved by the pro prietors, namely, to extend public accommodation to the utmost reasonable limit, and to invite the traffic of the great lines of the country by securing to them liberal terms and abundant convenience, have concluded an arrangement with the Grand Junction Railway Company, the terms of which accord with the principle announced. Without detailing minutely the terms which have been settled, it may at present be stated that the Grand Junction will run all through trains to and from Birkenhead, taking, at the same time, all local and through traffic which may be offered on the Birkenhead line; and whilst the Grand Junction must run as many trains to and from Birkenhead as they do from Chester, this Company will continue to work as many trains as the Directors please for local traffic. Fares and freights will be adjusted on a basis beneficial for both companies, and the cost of working Grand Junction trains over the Birkenhead line will be settled at a fixed rate not exceeding actual cost. A proportion of all terminal expenses not exceeding actual cost for goods traffic will be paid by a fixed rate. A joint station will be formed at Chester, and this Company will afford to the Grand Junction, and any other Company whose traffic is brought upon the Birkenhead line, adequate station accommodation at Birkenhead, at a rent of six per cent. upon the cost. The agreement with the Grand Junction Company is to continue for at least seven years. This arrangement, conceived in a spirit of friendly alliance, involves, necessarily, terms by which all future hostility between the two Companies may be avoided. The Directors have thus developed the principle upon which they are prepared to receive upon their line the traffic of other railways which their arrangement with the Grand Junction does not prevent them from doing. They have now to submit to the proprietors the measures which they have projected for their sanction. 1. An improve ment in the access to Monck's Ferry, by an additional tunnel and an enlargement of the station accommodation at the ter minus. 2. An enlargement of the station accommodation at Grange-lane and Chester, as well as at Hooton. 3. Widen ing the whole length of the railway from Birkenhead to Chester, sufficient for the broad gauge, if required. 4. A branch railway from Hooton to the Queen's Ferry, to accom. modate all the Welsh traffic. 5. A branch railway from Hooton to Neston and Parkgate. 6. A railway from Grange lane to New Brighton and Holylake. The cost, as far as an approximate estimate will enable the Directors to state it, will be about 950,0001. for all these measures. The first, second, and third measures are intended to meet the demands of a largely increased traffic; the fourth, fifth, and sixth are for local accommodation." The report was adopted. MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, AND GREAT 'GRIMSBY RAILWAY. A general meeting of the Provisional Committee of this line took place at the Guildhall, Huddersfield, on Thursday, which was numerously attended. The CHAIRMAN (John Sutcliffe, Esq.) in a forcible speech setting forth the advantages of the proposed line of railway, (the objects of which are to complete a direct chain of com munication between the eastern and western coasts, and by means of other lines to pass through the town of Doncaster. forming one grand trunk line from Liverpool to Great Grimsby), moved that the engineer's report be now read and, after some discussion as to the mode of appoint ing the Executive Committee, the report was adopted. The report stated that no engineering difficulties existed, and that the tunnel under the Trent at Batt erw i c k cou l d b e m ade without difficulty. (An announcement received by the company with great applause.) lit further stated that expe rienced contractors were ready to undertakethe works at con siderably less than the proposed estimate. The report having been unanimously adopted, a long and desultory conversation ensued as to the practicability of tun neling under the Trent. The speakers were Sir John Key, of London, the Mayor of Doncaster, and Aldermen BiLley, E. L Hesp. Esq., Sidney Moorhouse, Esq., C. Lockwood, Esq., to whom the answer of Mr. Billinton, the engineer to the com pany, was declared to be perfectly satisfactory, the latter de claring that he intended to make at once a three feet drift or `• man-hole," tunnel under the Trent, to set the question at rest, and expressed his couvicticn of being enabled to take to Parliament with him some bricks made of the clay from the excavation. An unanimous vote of confidence in the plans of the engi neer was passed, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. DARING AND EXTENSIVE CARRIAGE ROBBERY OF JEWELS AND PLATE.—On Friday morning information was re ceived at the principal metropolitan police-office, in Great Scot land-yard, of a most daring a nd extensi ve robbery of a quantity cf plate and jewels having been committed by some adroit and expert thieves, in Little James-street, Gray's In n- l ane, amounting to between 400 1 . and 5001 ., which was immediately forwarded to all the other police stations throughout the metropolis. In ap• pears that between six and seven o'clock on Thursday evening, the carnage of Mr. Townley, residing at 8, Little James-street, Gray's Inn-lane, was standing at the street- door, waiting to take the family out of town ; a box of plate and numerous articles of valuable jewels were put Into the carriage, when it is supposed that some experienced and adroit thieves observing the box placed in the carriage, proceeded to the carriage-door on the other side, and, uilohserved by it, servants cf Mr. Townley o succeeded in opeuing it, and abstn.ctid the box with its valuable contents, With which they succeeded in escaping. The new pier at 131ackfriars-bridge will be com pleted next week ; the length will be sufficient to accommodate six steam-boats at a time.

The South African Journal contains the following General Order : " The Lieutenant-Governor and Colonel commanding on the frontier cannot permit the departure of the 27th without expressing his entire approbation of the excellent and soldier like conduct which has distinguished this corps during its long and useful service in the eastern districts; and he re quests to express to Lieut.-Colonel Johnstone the great satis faction he derived in observing, at his recent inspection, not withstanding the disadvantages to perfect discipline by the remotely detached services in which the corps has been em ployed on this frontier, that there has been no deviation in the good system of interior economy, or in that perfect harmony and unanimity which have ever characterised the Innis killiners, and which Colenel Hare most earnestly hopes may continue uninterrupted. On such an occasion as the present of a separation, for the first time, from hi s di st i ngu i s h e d corps, whose tunes he has followed for 46 years, and whose gallantry he has proudly witnessed in every quarter of the globe, to have conspicuously added to the glories of the British army, Colonel Hare cannot but feel deep and sincere sorrow • and in giving exp ress i on to those feelings which the warmth of natural affection and the recollection of time tong past forcibly produce in him, he now bids his gallant comrades and fellow-soldiers farewell, with an assurance of his best wishes for their welfare and happiness, and an offer of his fervent prayer, should it be their lot to be again called to the field in defence of their Sovereign's honour and their country's rights, that the God of battles will continue to carry them forward to honour and to victory.
