THE PAS DE DEUX!—Jamss Ackland, aged 39, a labourer, was indicted for an assault, &c., on the person of Sarah Collins, at Isleworth. Mr. Ballantine was retained for the prisoner. The fair prosecutrix having stated her " moving story," was cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE. You are a dancer, I believe, in a travelling theatre? — Yes. And do the Highland fling in character?—No, I don't; I dances the pas de deuz.—(Great laughter.) Oh, we are coming to that.—(Continued laughter.) You do exhibit outside the booth for the purpose of " taking strangers in," and then you show off the second time, don't you?—Pr'aps I may.—(Laughter.) Well, what did you when you found the prisoner be side you ?—I wakened my companion. Oh, who is she ?—The singer of our company. And her name ?—Eliza Campbell. What did the prisoner do ?—IIe left the room and re turned with tea.—(Great laughter.) The witness was cross-examined at great length, to show that she had, some time after the alleged assault had been committed, been sitting on the prisoner's knee and drinking in the parlour. Miss Campbell was called to corroborate the evidence. After an amusingly clever speech from Mr. BAL LANTINE, Thomas Henderson, landlord of the lodging-house, was called. Mr. BALLANTINE —Did you see the prisoner in com pany with the prosecutor in your house on the evening previous to this transaction ?—Yes, she was showing her steps.—(Great laughter.) In what way ?—Oh, she threw her legs about, same as in the theatre. Was she a sylph at the time ?—No ; she were my lodger.—(Continued laughter.) Did you see them together next morning ?—Yes ; a-sitting on his lap in the front parlour, and a-kissing of him.— (Roars of laughter.) Another witness was examined, who fully bore out this evidence. The Learned COMMON SERGEANT summed up with his characteristic brevity—" Gentlemen of the jury, you understand these things better than I do—(Laugh ter)—l leave the case in your hands." The prisoner was at once acquitted. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, AUG. 19.—Wind S. by E., light breezes, and with much rain. DEAL, AUG. 18.—Wind S. to S.W.—Arrd. Irys, New York.

The half-yearly general meeting of the Proprietors of this railway was held this day, at the London Tavern, J. N. Daniell, Esq. in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, The SECRETARY (Mr. J. F. Kennell) read the report, from which it appears that a dividend of two shillirgs per share, clear of income-tax, is recommended. The )irectors observe— The amount which is available for a dividend, al though not considerable, is satisfactory, when it is re membered that this is the first time in which a sufficient profit has been realised, to enable a dividend to be de clared on the worst half of the year, and the Directors believe that it is an earnest, that no future half-yearly meeting will occur without a larger amount being ap plicable to the same purpose, independently of the ad vantages which must emanate from the various measures which are in progress for the benefit of this Company. " With regard to the extension line to Old Ford the Directors have much pleasure in reporting, that the Bill for the extension from the Stepney station of the Blackwell Railway, to join the Eastern Counties Railway at Old Ford, received the royal assent on the 9th instant. Measures, therefore, will be immediately taken to allot the shares in this extension line amongst the registered Proprietors in the Blackwell Railway, according to the plan recommended in the report made to the Proprietors on the 29th ultimo, and the Directors will lose no time in arranging for the commencement and speedy completion of the works." The CHAIRMAN said he congratulated the Proprietors on the cheering prospect presented by the report, show ing as it did a decided improvement over the returns of preceding half-years. He trusted this prosperity would not only be pern'anent but increasing, and while he would not affirm that such would actually be the case, he saw no reason for entertaining a doubt but that the value of this pro perty would materially and speedily be enhanced. Ile was happy to inform them that they had satisfacto rily corked with the boats with which they were con nected ; and he took the opportunity of saying that, without the slightest reserve, equal terms had been offered to all boat companies absolutely and positively. One company had unhappily opposed them, and sought terms different from those accorded other parties ; he wished, therefore, as much misrepresentation had been made, and mach misapprehension existed in the minds of the public, to make this unequivocal declaration. The next point to which he wished to advert was the junction with the Eastern Counties, the details of which would be referred to the engineers of each, viz., Messrs. Locke and Ste phenson. He trusted that, if successfully carried out, arrangements would be effected for adopting cheap fares and good accommodation. The conversion of the debt into fund, d capital would in future be a prominent fea ture in the prosperous conduct of the Company, although at present it did not show any result in the report now presented. When, then, all these arrangements were concluded, and the Epping line brought to bear, he anticipated, though he would not pl e d ge hi mself to the confirmation of his hopes, but he confidently believed that their shares would yet rise to par, and even eventually exceed it. With these few observations he would conclude by moving that the report and acounts, as read, be received, confirmed, and adopted. Mr. Ham seconded the resolution. XTITSI7I2.9.NCE COMPANIES.

CASH said that as many parties were present who were original subscribers he wished to know what the Chairman meant by par? The CHAIRMAN replied that 16/. 13s. 4d. was to be considered as par. Mr. CAsu remarked that the expenses of the Com pany were still very great. Their income was 29,000/. The CHAIRMAN assured the meeting that the ques tion had received the most anxious consideration at the hands of the Directors, and a doubt did exist as to the superiority of the present means of traction. Frequent breakages h a d cause d a ver y grea t ex p e nse to be in curred, and when the arrangements, now in abeyance, for forming connexions with other companies were com pleted, it would be desirable that a system should be adopted for making a uniform means of communication adapted for all the lines. a year, and the expenditure no less than 25,0001. He was desirous of asking, therefore, whether no better power could be adopted than that of the wire-rope? Dr. BOWRING would take the opportunity of stating that a great many methods of l ocomot i on h a d been under the consideration of the Directory. The atmos pheric principle had not escaped their attention ; but in a question of such gravity, an 4 . involving the ineurienee of great expt nse, .t was necessary that every precaution and prudence should be observed be-fore pl. thing them selves to adept a rew and permanent means of traction. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said he was aware that great inconvenience was often entailed on boards of directors by the unadvised intermedding of proprietors. Never theless, it was no less incumbent upon shareholders to suggest to directors any course which might conduce to the prosperity of a company, or avert an apprehended evil. It was for this reason that, while repelling every intention of impugning either the ability or conduct of the present Board, and while avowing, on the con trary, that much new life and talent had of late been introduced into the Directory, he wished to offer one or two observations on matters connected with their prosperity. As to the London and Blackwell Railway, beginning at Fenehurch-street and terminating at Blackwell, the project was borne down by an enormous expenditure, and though the Chairman, and he dare say many of the proprietors were so san guine as to anticipate that secondary capabilities were likely to enhance the value of their property, be believed that the most sanguine could scarcely hope that the projects now in contemplation would work any very miraculous change in the price of their shares, or the amount of their dividend. With respect to the junction between the Blackwell Company and the Eastern Counties, it would be in the recollection of the meeting that some time since that course had been pro posed and rejected by the Directors. He did not wish to throw any blame upon them for their refusal; "better late than never" was an old proverb, and he was only glad that even at this period the measure had been ap proved and adopted. He regarded it as a most ex cellent junction, but to secure its success the Di rectors of both Companies must preserve a cordial and well defined co -operation : otherwise their endeavours would be frustrated, and their money laid out uselessly. It; however, the Blackwell Company persisted in striking out projects into South Essex, they would interfere with the Eastern Counties Company most seriously, while the scheme would not only be useless but pernicious. He made this observation, but if at a future period opposition should be raised against the project, it might be said, that the shareholders of the Eastern Counties Company being invited to attend, and actually present, had heard thQ pro positions of the Blackwell Company, and remained silent on the subject. Mr. JEFFRY was proceeding to address the meeting on the question of the South Essex line, when he was stopped by— The CHAIRMAN, who said that the question before the meeting was not the propriety of the Essex scheme, which was quite independent from the interests of the l3lackwall Company, and therefore its introduction was irrelevant and irregular. Mr. JosIAH WILSON inquired if, then, as a company, the Blackwall Railway repudiated the South Essex line ? The CHAIRMAN said, as a company most distinctly, though not as independent parties. The resolution for the adoption of the report and accounts was then put, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved the second resolution, to the effect that a dividend of two shillings per share, clear of income tax, should be declared. Mr. HAIG seconded the motion, which was also car carried nem. con. A SHAREHOLDER inquired whether the promoters of the London and Blackwall would be prepared to apply to Parliament next session for powers to carry out the Epping Extension, in case the Eastern Counties Com pany neglecting to do so. The CHAIRMAN explained ; shortly after which the meeting separated. um LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.)

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. IVES TEILN ClRG'UlT. 7 Bristul, August 16, The commission was opened in this city ✓ on Friday afternoon, by Mr. Justice Erle. Rumour had been rife, and it was confidently stated at Devizes that 120 veniree had been refurned, which, according to the usual calcu lation, would have produced about 80 causes. This, on a circuit which had been far from prolific as to fees, gave a most encouraging prospect, and seniors and juniors hurried off from Devizes to be early in Bristol, for fear clients might imagine that they would not honour the ancient city with their presence; but, alas! many were doomed to be disappointed. They sat in :Hence all the Friday evening ; but few, if any, briefs came in; and the youthful junior, whose friends had been pushing hard for him, and who had promises innumerable, took his tea without interruption, and wont to bed upon the reflection and sweet hope that perhaps briefs would not be deli vered till the following morning. At length, that morning came, and at ten o'clock he found himself in Court without a single piece of "paper." The printed cause list soon appeared, and after paying Is. for it you perceived that only 33 cases had been entered. Of these seven were undefended, one cause was tried, and notwitstanding it was the day for the grand dinner given by the mayor, the Court sat till 9 o'clock at night to dispose of it. It has long been desired that there should be a regular and proper assize in this city, and that the judges should come twice a year and tleliver the gaol, and try civil actions in the same way as they do at other places. One difficulty, however, stood in the way—there was but one court ; that one certainly was the most inconvenient ever built, and all persons having business there joined in the hope that some cause or other might tend to its removal, and that two courts would be erected, in order that business might be pro perly conducted. At length it was intimated that; he old building would be taken down, and that proper con veniences for the assizes would be afforded. lint if it had not been that the people here have become notorious for their foresight by building a ship much too large to be taken out of dock, it would have caused great amaze ment, and would indeed scarcely have been credited, that though there was every space for erecting two courts, they hare actually only built one, and that pro mises to out-do the ancient one in inconvenience and bad arrangement. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. MEETING OF THE FP,IENDS OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTIL Last evening a public meeting of the electors of the Borough ef Southwark was held in the large room of the Bridge House Hotel, for the purpose of receiving Sir William Alolesworth, and hearing a statement of his political principles. The hour fixed for the business to begin was seven o'clock, by which time a numerous as well as influential assembly of the electors had collected ; the Hall, which will accommodate about 1,000 per sons, being nearly filled. On the motion of Mr. Edwi n E vans , Mr. Wm. Hawes was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, who on rising to address the meeting was received with great cheering, said that they had been convened together to select a fit and proper person. o represent them in Parliament, in the room of their late much respected member, Mr. Benjamin Wood. In doing this they were bound to examine the political, as well as the publi and private character of the party whom they selected. He generally found that a political character was based on pre vious well-known acts of public life, and that this public character was again the emanation of private life. They should therefore, in selecting a gsntleman to represent them in Parliament, take care that his political principles, his public character, and his private conduct were all in harmony with each other.—( Cheers. ) Such a member they had in the late Mr. Benjamin Wood.—(Cheers.) His consistency and in tegrity had rarely been equalled, and never surpassed. ( Loud cheers.) Not only was that gentleman unex ceptionable on public and private grounds as their repre sentative, but he had been a resident among them. He was one of themselves. The gentleman who was present that night, and would be proposed to succeed their late respected Member, he was sure would fully come up to the standard of such a Member as that he (the Chairman) had described. Though residence amongst a constituency was a consideration that ought not to be overlooked, that qualification was not alone sufficient. They must look to the principles and general character of the individual. Though the gentleman now pre sent was not a resident, yet he was identified with them, he (the Chairman) was sure, in interest and opinion, and con nected with the borough by the ties of property. Besides this, he had shown by his address, ably, honestly, and without any ambiguity whatever stated, what his political views were. When he was a Member of Parliament before, it could not be denied that he rigidly adhered to his principles, even to the dissatisfaction of many well meaning friends, and he had never done any act by which he forfeited the confidence of those who reposed trust in him. His opinions were those of justice, and based on mature reflection. There was a strange contrast in this gentleman's address compared with that of another candidate (Mr. Pitcher), which had been issued. The latter address, while professing to be against restrictions on trade, said that care must be taken of vested interests. The explanation of which might resolve itself either into a sliding scale or a fixed duty. There was no distinct annunciation of a principle here. Now the candidate before them left no doubt whatever respecting his views on this important question. He was in favour of free-trade.—( Great cheering.) On this, the first great question of the day, there could be no dispute respecting what he meant. When in Parliament that gentle man was one of a few who voted in favour of free-trade.— ( Cheers.) The absent candidate talked vaguely about Protestant principles, yet at the same time he professed himself favourable to civil and religious liberty. In reading that portion of the gentleman's (Mr. Pilcher's) address, the only interpretation he ( the Chairman) could put upon it seas, that he aas an ultra- Orangeman, a supporter of the Church, and an opponent of the voluntary system; one who would maintain the Dish Church in all its integrity, and therefore one that would per petuate all the abuses which had arisen from that Church Establishment.—( Hear, hear.) The candidate now before them was of a different character. He was one who would not only oppose the endowment of a second Church establishment, but who was willing to reduce the emoluments of the Church already endowed.--( Great cheering.) These were the main and stirring questions of the day, upon which it was necessary there should be a clear under standing- With regard to the Maynooth question, on which some difference of opinion existed, the worthy gentleman would fully explain his opinions. Some thought that the grant to Maynooth was preliminary to the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") To this view he (Sir William Molesworth) dissented. He viewed it merely as an educational grant, and not as tending to the alternative which was so much dreaded He (the Chairman) would not longer occupy their attention, but call on Sir William Molesworth to address the meeting. He would say that he hoped they would support him in giving every one who might choose to address the meeting a fair and impartial hearing.—( Loud cheers. ) Sir WlLLiast MGLESWORTH, who in rising to address the meeting was received with loud and long cintinued cheering, said that in appearing before them as a candidate it would be necessary for him to state clearly and distinctly his political views, as the grounds on which he might expect their votes. In so doing he trusted the meeting would grant him its in dulgence as he had travelled all the previous night in - order to be present at that meeting. He might say he was not entirely unknown to them. For nine years he had a seat in the House of Commons, and during that time he spoke and voted on all the leading measures of the day. The principles which would guide his conduct now were the same as had actuated him then. To those prin ciples he still adhered.—(Cheers.) He was neither Whig nor Tory. He should attach himself to none of these great poli tical parties, but would consider it his duty to support such measures as appeared calculated to serve the interests of the people without regard to any of them. He had been called, and was a Radical.—( Loud cheers.) As a Radical he was in favour of an extension of the suffrage. It was suf.. ficient on the present occasion to say that he was in favour of an extension of the suffrage. The extent to which he would not say, as it would materially depend on the increase of intelligence. He was also in favour of Triennial Parliaments. He would abolish Property Qualifications ; and, above all, he was in favour of the Ballot, as affording the only means by which the franchise could be honestly exercised. He would not dwell longer on these questions, as at the present time they did not take much hold of the public mind, but he would go to a question which did in a very great degree— he meant the commercial policy of the country. Within the last few years a great change had taken place in commercial policy. Since the accession of Sir R. Peel to power, many duties on articles of importation had been diminished or abolished. In doing so, Sir Wihert Peel had been giving way to the feeling which for many years had been gradually growing in favour of free-trade; the principles of which were formerly only sup ported by a few thinking men, but were now supported by the leading men among both Conservatives and Whigs.—( Cheers. ) Considerable alterations had been male in the import duties, still they were not of extraordinary importance, beyond indicat ing the tendency of sound views in head quarters, and as likely to end in the abolition of all proteir ion whatsoever. He had always been in favour of free trade, lung before the exeitentent : on the question had been so great. He was opposed on principle to every kind of protective duties. He considered that duties should be imposed for purposes of revenue alone, and to meet only the rigid and pressing exigencies of the State. To all other duties he was entirely hostile, as injurious to the best interests of the country. Such duties restricted commerce, diminished the means of employment, abstracted capital from its legitimate channels, and reduced wages.—( Hear, hear. ) There was immense capital in the country; but, in order to make capital profitable and wages good, it was necessary to command a market for their skill and industry. In order to do so, they should receive in return the goods of other countries that might require their produce.—( Hear, hear.) There could be no selling unless they bought in return.—( Hear. ) Every law that prevented buying prevented selling. All laws that imposed duties on the goods of foreign countries, reduced the exports of this. By such means the field of labour was abridged, wages were reduced, and capital was left with out profit. The only remedy for this state of things was to remove all restrictions on trade.—( Cheers.) Protective laws had operated most injuriously, more especially the corn-laws. They had diminished commerce both in the north of Europe and America, because the chief export of those countries was corn, which could not be imported into this country without a high rate of duty. The consequence was, that those countries had been obliged to establish manufactories, producing goods that now rivalled the products of British skill and industry in the markets of the world--( Hear, hear.) The tendency of the Corn-laws was to rear up rival interests. He had always voted against them, and would still continue to do so.--( Loud cheers.) He supported Mr. Villiers at a time when he had but few supporters ; since which, he was glad to say, a vast and striking change had taken place in public opinion, not only on the Corn-laws, but free trade generally. He had now stated that he was a Radical and a Free-trader. There was another question to which he would refer ; it was respecting the grant to Maynooth. It was his duty to state that, had he been in Parliament, he should have supported the present (iovernment in that measure.—( Loud cheers.) For many years there had been a grant of public money for this purpose—for the purpose of educating the Roman Catholic priesthood, not to endow their church. This grant was but the carrying out of a con tract entered into at the time of the Irish Union, the object of which was to provide for the education of the Roman Catholic priesthood at home, instead of being obliged to go abroad to foreign seminaries, where it was supposed they imbibed principles inimical to their native coun try. On several occasions, while in the House, when the motion for the grant was opposed by the Orange party, he joined with the Liberal members in supporting it. It was evident that the grant had hitherto been inadequate for the object it contemplated, and, therefore, he would say, what ever might have been the consequences to himself, he would have voted with the Liberal members in support of the increased allowance.—( Loud cheers.) He would say, how ever, that he objected to the grant being taken from the public, and considered it should have beers supplied from the funds of the Irish Church. Had he been in Parliament, therefore, he would have supported the motion of Mr. Ward, for the appropriation of a portion of the funds of the Irish Church to meet the grant. Speaking of Church establishments generally, he was in favour of the voluntary principle, or that each sect and denomination should support its own clergy. —( Cheers.) These were his honest opinions. If any subject had been omitted he would be glad to answer any question upon it. The Hon. Baronet then concluded his address amidst loud and general cheering. In answer to a string of questions from Mr. Knight, a Chartist, Sir W. 11.10LESWORTH stated that he would not pledge himself to universal suffrage. He was in favour of extended suffrage, and would extend it as intelligence advanced. In fact he would define no limits as to the extent to which elec toral rights might be increased. He was also against any in terference with any one on account of their opinions for or against religion, providing that discussion was legitimately conducted, having proper respect to the feelings of others. He was also generally in favour of the voluntary principle, and, of course, against the endowment of the Roman Catholic religion. Should he, on any future occa sion, see any good reason for applying a portion of the funds of the Irish Church to support the Catholic Church, and such a em. — w ( ou L l n d ud tak eh e ee n r o a s a t n e d p c i i rl ea th n e f not consider the New Poor-l aw matter , m ,T e as h a u p e w n i s o t h h:o l u u a l s v t d be o ) consultingds did not a perfect measure, great changes had already taken place in it, and he would be willing to support any alteration that would tend to ameliorate and improve its provisions.—( .Hear, hear. ) A resolution, which will be found in our advertising columns, to the effect that Sir William A . lolesworth was a tit an d proper person to represent the borough in Parliament, was then proposed. After some opposition from Mr. KNIGHT, who contended that Sir William Molesvvorth's explanation had not been suffi ciently explicit, the proposition was carried, there being only nine hands against it. • BANKRUPTCY ENLARGED.

After this the me ting separated. Th, -t h, SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT. We are sorry to have to record another feerf d rail way collision, owing to the gross carelessness of one of the company's servants, on the line between Sunderland and Brockly-whins, on Friday last. We have been fur nished with the following particulars by a geLtletuan who was presrut :—" We started from Sunderland by the half-past 3 o'clock p.m. mail train. Before we had proceeded above half a mile, we came in contact with the three o'clock train from Newcastle, both proceeding at a quick pace at the time. T-e collision was most fearful, and , he consequences very serious to the passengers. Our passengers included Mr. Charles Tee, a great rail way proprietor, of Barnsley ; Mr. Brunton, town-clerk of Sunderland ; Mr. Richardson and Mr. Gutch, two highly respectable solicitors of "York, who had been assisting in the election of Mr. Hudson; Mr. Falvy, of the Anti-Corn-law League; several other gentlemen, and about half-a-dozen ladies. Not a single person travelling by our train es caped injury. Mr. Richardson end Mr. Gutch were both badly bruised, and especially the latter gentleman, whose face was painfully disfigured. He was rendered very feeble owing to loss of blood. Our stoker Lal, I believe, his arm bruken, while the engine-driver, seeing his danger, saved himself by leaping off the engine. A b abut fourteen years of age, had his eyes fright • fully bruised and cut. Mr. Falvy sustained a contusion on the leg. All the women were severely stunned, but more particularly two of them, one of whom had an infant at the breast in her arms at the time. The child did not seem to be much worse. Having- Only — C); carriage with our train, it is miraculous that every life was not sacrificed. The massive iron of our engine and tender was shattered to pieces, and our escape from certain death can only be ascribed to a strong truck which was placed between our carriage and the engine. That corning from Newcastle was a larger train. Its engine was likewise much broker), and many of the pas sengers injured, but less seriously than those of the other train. What is inexcusable in connexion with the sad occurrence is, that it took place at a junction of two lines (the one being a diversion for the conveyance of coals). where there is only a single row of rails, and where the signal flags for the Newcastle train to stop were actually hoisted at the time. When the engine -driver of that train, however, was asked why he did not stop, his only reply was, that he was aware he ought t ) have stopped, and did not know why he did not do so. After being detained for about three quarters of an hour other engines were brought from Sunderland and Brockley Whins, and some of the passengers were conveyed back to the former and others to the latter place, where the north mail was waitir g t 3 proceed to York. This line is notorious for having More accidents upon it than any other in existence. One or two gentlemen (who ap peared neither to have shared in the risk nor the effects of the calamity) seemed very desirous to patch up the scandalous piece of recklessness by which so many lives had been placed in jeopardy; and from the great anxiety which they manifested on this head, I was led to suppose that they had some connexion with the line, and were solicitous about escaping the responsibility and public censure which such results of its wretched management must give rise to."— Times. THE QUEEN AND THE COURIER. —A somewhat singular case of wilful disregard to efforts to deliver an im portant dispatch befel that very energetic and efficient French Courier de Cabinet, Mons. Perrier, a few days ago. That gentleman left Calais in a fishing boat on the afternoon of the 10th inst., having i n c h arge a'dispatch from the King of the French to the Queen of England. His object was to fall in with the Queen's squadron on its way to the Continent, and he managed the matters very cleverly so far as he was concerned, for he sighted the ships and made for them on Sunday morning. French fishing boats cannot be expected to be largely furnished with bunting ; but what they had to hoist they did, and probably most sorely puzzled thereby the several signal midshipmen of the several ships. Certain it is that not the slightest symptom of an understanding did they bang out, and there fore all that remained to do was to get as much sail on the boat as she could stagger under, and, if possible, come within hail. They did so, and finally contrived to get close to the royal yacht ; but not the most distant notice was paid to. any effort that was made to obtain attention, and perhaps it was con trary to etiquette to do so on the part of officers having charge of royalty. The same excuse, however, does not apply to the other three steamers, who most courtier-like and ser vilely imitated the bearing of the leading-ship ; and it was all in vain that Monsieur Perrier displayed himself in his uniform, and held up his lisp itch, and went alongside of the other three steamers ; they steam e d on th e i r stea d y way, and rendered abortive al the management and conrivance for the accom plishing his arduous duty which Moroieur Perrier had so ably displayed, and greatly to his vexation he was forced to return to Calais still the bearer of the dispatch. —Pest. HERRING FISHING.—BERWICK AUG. 15.—During the last week our boats hav e on l y been able to go to sea twice, owing to the continued prevalence of the north and north-toot winds, which raised a heavy sea on our bar. They ventured out another night, but were obliged to return without shot ting their nets from the swell. This morning a few of the boats have returned with several crans each, but most of them are again clean. The sea is still stormy, and unless the weather settle in the course of a week our fi.hermen consider the pro spect will be choed. The demand is good, and fair prices—and should the weather change favourably there is a considerable appearance of a fishing.—EYEMOUTH.—Owing to the stormy state of the weather only four of our boats were off on Monday night, which caught from one to five erans each. The price was 20s. per cran, for London. On Tuesday none ven tured out. Thursday morning brought in the best fishing of the season. Two boats had sixty crans each, a great number from twenty to fifty, and very few less than twelve. The prices were l ls. and 12s. Two Yarmouth vessels have sailed to-day (Thursday) with 100 crans each. There are upwards of eighty boats in the harbour, and the curers are buying with great spirit. The herrings are taken very close to the shore and near the harbour.—Berwick Advertiser. KIRKCUDBRIGHT ELECTION. —We learn that great excitement has prevailed throughout the Stewartry for severe days past on the subject of the pending election. The Whigs and Free-traders finding that great advantage was taken by their opponents in stirring up the religious feelings of the voters against Mr. Maxwell, on the ground of his being a Catholic, have withdrawn him and started Thomas Maitland, Esq., of Dundrennan, the late Solicitor-General, on the same interest. They are now sanguine of success • and we learn from a disinterested pa r ty th a t t h ey h ave good cause to be so. The Conservatives are said to be finding it sad " uphill work," to make any material inroad upon the late Mr. Murray's ma jority of 400. The polling takes place on Monday and Tuesday.

IRE HARVEST.—Cutting is not only general in this neighbourhood, but a large quantity of wheat has been carted during the present week ; whilst in districts which are in general behind this vicinity in harvest, a considerable por tion of wheat and even barley have been cut. From all we can hear, in the wheat there will be a considerable falling off in the yield, as compared with that of last year, and that the better the land is the worse the produce will be; it having been greatly affected by the blight. There will be an abund ance of straw, in consequence of the superabundant moisture. The barley promises more than an average crop, and is in ge neral ready for the scythe. Oats were never better, the weather having been such as exactly suited their growth and ripening. Birds are plentiful and strong, but the fields will hardly be suf ficiently cleared by the Ist of September to allow sportsmen to commence operations.—Hampshire Advertiser. THE LATE MR. BUTLER, THE TRAGEDIAN.—It is with extreme regret we announce that the widow of Mr. Butler has been left in embarrassed circumstances. We believe Mr. Butler's fortune was expended in unprofitable speculations, in which thedate actor embarked with the best intentions, but the most ruinous result. Mr. Harley has forwarded 101. from the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund; Mr. Meadows a like sum from Covent-garden. Mr. Butler was indefatigable in aiding the subscription for Mr. Elton's family, and a few days before his death exerted himself in behalf of Mrs. Hood and her orphans. —Sunday Paper. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— On Thursday afternoon, as a train was proceeding from Glou cester to London, the engine ran off the rails, near Standish, dragging some of the carriages after it. No personal injury, however, was sustained.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. An elephant was never introduced on the English stage till the production of Blue Beard. This is a positive fact; for Fawcett made his first appearance, I recollect, in one of its hind legs. He was so nervous at the time, that in going over one of the traps it gave way, and Fawcett and his companion leg were precipitated through it. The result was that Blue Beard and his black attendant were brought to the ground, and the two front legs of the ele phant were seen lifted up in the air kicking 4. , ray most violently, whilst the two hind legs, with Fawcett in one of them, were kicking no less violently under the stage. The curtain was obliged to be dropped before Fawcett, or the ele phant, could resume his natural footing. He afterwards at tempted to put down elephants when he was stage mast-gee, hat they were always too strong for him.—Punch's Asteedwlts of Actors. MR.
