Ocr. 19.—This morning her Majesty and Prince Albert walked, unattended, through the grounds of Osborne, East Cowes Park, and Barton; and at one o'clock embarked from Osborne in the steamer, and, after a two hours' cruise, returned at four, landing on the beach in front of Osborne. OCT. 20.—Great anxiety was experienced by the inhabitants as to which of the East Cowes churches they should go, but they were disappointed, as Divine service was performed in the house by Arch deacon Wilberforce. Her Majesty again walked unattended over Barton woods, &c., but did not go afloat. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY AND SUITE. OCT. il.—At two o'clock to-day, her Majesty and Prince Albert, with Lady Gainsborough and suite, embarked from East Cowes Quay in the royal barge. We were happy to observe the loyalty displayed upon the occasion. All kept at a respectful distance, and the cheering was hearty and universal. All was activity afloat. A fleet of fifty- seven boats were in attendance, with colours flying, to greet the Queen of the Seas, and there would have been more than double that number had it not been reported that her Majesty would embark from Osborne. Lord Yarborough's yacht was dressed with co lours, and her yards manned, as was Sir B. Graham's and several others. The merchant shipping also sported their bunting. The sky was overcast, as if nature had cast a gloom on the departure and mourned the Island's loss of their Queen; but we are happy to say that it is the intention of her Majesty soon to return, and orders have been issued to lay down moorings in our roadstead for the royal yacht. Two of the carriages have been sent off—the other, with the five horses, will be forwarded this afternoon, but the furniture is to remain. At half-past two o'clock the yacht steamed for Portsmouth, and the guns of the Castle, the Royal Yacht Squadron, &c., were fired. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert arrived at the Castle at twelve minutes past seven o'clock in a car riage and four, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Guards, commanded by Cornet the Hon. G. W. Mines, from Osborne House, Isle of Wight, which place the Royal party left at twenty minutes before two o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince were attended by the Countess of `Gainsborough, the Earl of Liverpool, Major-General Wemyss, and Col. Bouverie. On alighting at the Castle her Majesty and his Royal Highness were received by the Hon. Misses Murray and Kerr, Maids of Honour, Lord Byron, Lord in Waiting, Sir Frederic Stovin, Groom in Waiting, and the Earl of Hardwicke. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Hardwicke, Sir Henry Pottinger, and Sir Henry Wheatley, arrived at the Castle to-day, on a visit to her Majesty. The Royal Family were not taken out to-day, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather. Yesterday afternoon their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken for a walk in the pleasure grounds adjoining the Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, the Countess Wratislaw, and Sir George Couper, joined the royal dinner circle, at the Castle, this evening. A deputation from the Chester, Stockport, and Manchester Railway Company, consisting of Mr. Lot Gardiner, Mr. 'William Wanklyn, and Mr. Elli combe, had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Earl of Aberdeen left town yesterday after noon, on a visit to the Queen, at Windsor Castle. Dispatches from the Governor of Jamaica were re ceived yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Dispatches were also received from the Governors of the 'West India Colonies. Sir Henry Pottinger left town yesterday for Vindsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. THE OPENING OF THE NEW EXCHANGE. The following proclamation was yesterday posted at the Mansion-house : " Her Majesty having been graciously pleased to intimate her intention of visiting the City of London on Monday, the 28th inst., for the purpose of opening the New Royal Exchange, the Lord Mayor recom mends his tellow-citizens, as far as practicable, to abstain from business on that day, for the purpose of showing due respect to her Majesty on this auspicious occasion.

By order," &c. Also, with a view of preventing accidents by any temporary erections, a notice has been issued by the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London and liberties thereof, warning— " All persons inhabitants of that portion of the City through which the Queen may have occasion to pass on her way to open the Royal Exchange, that no hoard, scaffolding, platform, balcony, or anything that shall project over or out upon the pathway, will be allowed to be erected or affixed before or against any of the houses or buildings in or contiguous to such line of route; and any such projections, if erected, will be immediately taken down and removed, as the law directs. By order," &c. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.

That upon her Majesty taking her seat, Mr. Re corder will deliver to her Majesty, on the part of the Corporation of London and the corporation of the Mercers' Company, as joint trustees under the will of Sir 'Thomas Gresham, a suitable address. And in order that her Majesty may not be inconvenienced, that such deputation shall not consist of more than fifty persons. That, after her Majesty's answer to the address, it is suggested that the Lord Mayor shall (provided her Majesty's sanction be obtained) present to her Majesty the Chairman of the Gresham Committee, Master of the Mercers' Company, the Architect, and the Mover and Seconder of the Address in the Court of Common Council.

The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor received from Sir James Graham, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, the following letter, com plimentary to the Royal Artillery Company:— " Whitehall, Oct. 18, 1844. _ _ _ " My Lord,— I have the honour to inform your Lord ship that a communication has been made to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Captain-General and Colonel Commanding the Honourable Artillery Company, in forming his Royal Highness that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to signify her pleasure that the corps above named should attend as a Guard of Honour at the Exchange on the occasion of her Majesty honouring the Corporation of London by being present at the opening that building on the 28th inst. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's very obedient servant, " J. R. G. GRAHAM." THE THEATRES. LYCEUM. Ever since the appearance of " Les Mysteres de Paris," the name of Eugene Sue has been a tower of strength to publisher and manager. The manage ment of the Lyceum, therefore, has exhibited its usual tact in producing at the present moment, under the title of The Seven Castles of the Passions, his drama Les Sept Chateaux du Diable, at the perform ance of which all Paris is (to use a French idiom) nightly assisting. This drama is described in the bill as a " Romantic, Diabolical, Celestial, Terres trial, Legendary tale of Enchantment," and this de scription is true to the letter. We have two pairs of lovers—Raymond (Mr. Craven) and Azele (Miss Fertescue), and Canuche (Mr. Keeley) and Re gaillette (Mrs. Keeley), on a pilgrimage to the shrine of our Lady of Grace. Satan (Mr. Diddear) endea vours to get them into his power by subjecting them to the temptations of Envy, Pride, Idleness, Rage, Avarice, Love, and Luxury—•while their guardian angel, Sathaniel (a somewhat anomalous designa tion for an angel of light), invariably interferes just as they are about to succumb to the evil influences, -and conducts them in safety to the end of their pil grimage. As a spectacle this piece is beyond all praise. Nothing can exceed the magnificence of the castles of the respective passions. We are not de tained too long in any of them, and whenever the serious sayings and doings of the sentimental pair of lovers " darken to sublimity," the Keeleys begin the fun, and afford a most agreeable relief. It is by far the most agreeable allegorical drama we have ever seen, and which will be just the thing for the ju veniles during the holidays. The acting was excel lent. Miss Fairbrother as Sathaniel wss the most fascinating of guardian angels ; and the pilgrims cer tainly showed excellent taste in submitting themselves to such delightful control. His Darkness was per sonated with becoming majesty by that excellent actor, Diddear. In the Castle of Love, an incidental divertissement was introduced, in which Miss James, as Cupid, danced in the prettiest and most graceful style imaginable. There were several admirable scenic effects—all of which told admirably. The care and expense bestowed in getting up the piece must have been immense. At the fall of the curtain it was announced by Keeley fur repetition every evening amidst loud applause. IRELAND. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. DUBLIN, OCT. 20 . —Yesterday evening, Mr. John Walsh, of Dominick-street, barrister, lost his life under the following melancholy circumstances :—About four o'clock he proceeded to Pinglass, about two miles from town, for the purpose of swimming his dogs at a place called Quarry-hole. Having thrown a piece of stick into the water, which one of the animals refused to fol low, Mr. Walsh in stretching out his cane to draw the stick closer to the edge, lost his balance, and was pre cipitated into the water, and sank, after a few struggles, to rise no more, before any assistance arrived. The body was not found for two hours after the accident, and was conveyed to his residence late last night. An in quest was held, which after the examination of one wit ness was adjourned till to-morrow evening. A gold watch and a sum of 161. was found on his Ferson. About 14 years ago the ill-fated gentleman held a rather pro minent position in the field of Irish politics. At that time Mr. Walsh, who then followed the laborious occu pation of a schoolmaster, was the leading member of the Trades' Political Union__a bad y through whose in fluence Mr. O'Connell was mainly, if not wholly, in debted for his first return as Member, in conjuaction with the late Mr. Ruthven, for the city of Dublin. He was subsequently, together with two other members of the Trades' Union, prosecuted by the Crown for the delivery of seditious speeches, found guilty, and sen tenced to six months' imprisonment. On his release from imprisonment, Mr. Walsh applied himself to the study of the law, and having met some ineffectual resis tance on the part of the benchers, he was called to the bar, and after the usual probation attained considerable eminence in the criminal and inferior courts. During the last two or three years he rose rapidly in his profes sion, and succeeded in obtaining a fair share of business on the Leinster circuit. LAUGHABLE OCCURRENCE. The neighbourhood of Northumberland-avenue, King ston, was yesterday thrown into a state of the utmost excitement, it having transpired that a lady had made an assignment with a gentleman who had advertised for a wife. Accordingly at the hour mentioned, three o'clock, the expecta nt i n h a bi tants of the avenue were highly amused on beholding, as Burns would say, " a fine fat fagel wight " make his appearance, wiping his fat face with a white handkerchief, the lady having re quested that he would occasionally place a white hand kerchief to his face, as the means of recognition, and further stating that she would drive in from the country at the hour specified. Nearly half an hour after his ar rival, a lady drove up in a pony phaeton, in a great shower of rain, with a servant on the rumble, protecting her with an umbrella. On seeing her the unfortunate man fancied that the object of his search was at length before him, and after a few convulsive applications of the , handkerchief started forward, and with a spring re markable for a man of his size, fairly jumped into the phaeton ; and before the astonished lady could recover from the fright his sudden appearance occasioned, he had encircled her in his arms, calling her by every en dearing appellation ; and it was not until the lady had uttered screamafter scream, and his shoulders were well belaboured with the umbrella by the servant, that he appeared to think he had got into the wrong box ' • so making his escape as expeditiously as p oss ibl e , h e has tened off to the train without staying to make further in quiries for his inamorata ; and it is earnestly hoped that the lesson he has received will perform a radical cure for his love. IRISH POOR-LAW COMMISSION. The following appears in the Carlow Sentinel of yes terday :—" We learn, from the best authority, that in consequence of the serious charges made in Mr. Pone theme's report against the Poor-law Commissioners, and the conflicting statements of Mr. Penethorne and the Commissioners' architect, the Government have issued a commission of inquiry, which will not only embrace a searching scrutiny into the expenditure on the poor houses, but a thorough inspection of the buildings in every union in Ireland. We have also to announce, on equally good authority, that Mr. Owen, of the Board of Works, is appointed a member of the commission. The names of the other gentlemen who are to act with him have not yet transpired, but we believe they will com mence operations immediately." The Marquis of Donegal sailed from Belfast for London on Friday. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE ClTY.—Yesterday numerous workmen were engaged erecting seats around St. Paul's Cathedral, St. Clement Danes Church, St. Mary's Church, Strand, King's College, and various other public places in the line of the road from Bucking ham Palace to the Royal Exchange. The applications at tradesmen's houses have already been very numer ous, and prices of from half a sovereign to three guines have been paid, fur seats having a good view of the grand and imposing processien. THE MARQUIS 07 LONDONDERRY AND TIME COL LIERS.-" The Marquis of Londonderry," says the Durham Advertiser of Saturday, " has written to the secretary to the fund for the survivors of the sufferers by the late accident at Haswell Colliery, in reply to an ap plication for a subscription. The Noble Lord disap proves of all such subscriptions, and contends that it is the duty of all proprietors of collieries to maintain those who are bereft of their protectors by fatal accident in the mines. He estimates the amount of money he has paid in this way, as coal proprietor, since 1819, at 6,1621. 17s. sd. He concludes his letter, however, by saying that, as the Lambton Colliery and the Earl of Durham have each given 1001. to the fund, he will give the same sum." MEL ANCIIOLY ACCIDENT.—WiIIiam Collings, a boy ten years of age, in the habit of going to sea with his father and brother in a small fishing-vessel, accompanied them as usual last Tuesday. The father returned in the evening, leaving his two sons to moor the boat ; the elder desired William to go home, and seeing him cross several boats, supposed he bad landed safely. On enter ing his mother's room ho inquired for his brother, and finding he was still absent, told them the child had parted from him to return about half an hour before. Search was immediately made in all directions for the child ; but hearing no account of him, the next morning, as soon as the tide was o u t (one o'clock, A.m.), Mr. Collings and six men went to the Barbican. The father in searching placed his hand on the body of the child, but being too much affect e d to render any ass i stance , th e boy was taken up by th e ot h er men. H i s nose and •mouth were filled with m u d, w hi ch, it i s sup p ose d , prevented his rising again. A n i nquest was held the same even i ng before Mr. J. Ed mon d s, borough coroner.

Collinson, superintendent of police, from Ripon to Aldborough, a distance of about seven miles, upon a charge of felony. The case was beard before Mr. W. J. Coltman, a resident magistrate, and the soner was committed for trial to Northallerton. On the ensuing Monday (the 14 t h i nstant ), h e w as taken to Northallerton G ao l, tried, convicted, an d sentenced to transportat i on f or seven years. and on Wednesday last he was Gipsy Lee, mentioned in our last as having caused a female respectably connected to elope with him from Margate, has since been charged with robbing a relative of his " beloved," at whose house he lodged, and com mitted to prison for trial. He sobbed bitterly during the examination, and while in the cage thrice attempted suicide.—Canterbury Journal. BURGLARY. --About one o'clock on Saturday morn ing last, s i x fellows with their faces blackened entered the dwelling-house of Mr. T. Worthington, of Mansetter, near Atherstone, Warwickshire, and whilst some of them were engaged in ransacking the premises of the most portable and valuable of their contents, the others were engaged in preventing the inmates from making an alarm, during which considerable resistance was made by the latter, who were most of them wounded ; Mr. Worthington most so. It wou ld appear, h owever , t h at some of the villains, before they effected their escape with the booty were much c u t an d woun d e d b y a swor d used by Mr. Worthingt on in the conflict. A reward of 1001 is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders by Mr. Worthington, and if either of the par ties will j impeach his accomplices, he shall receive the above reward, and eve r y means will be used to obtain for him her Majesty's most gracious free pardon. A GOOD CROP.—Mr. Al exan d er W add i ngham, of Driffield, has this year produced from a field containing about four acres, on the north side of the road leading to Burlington, no less than sev en ! an d a h a lf quarters per acre. In fact, this field has for several years been re markable for the abundance of its crops. In 1841, the yield was six and a half quarters per acre, and in 1838, seven and a half quarters per acre,—Yorkshire Gazette. GRAND EXPLOSION OF MINES AT CHATIJAM, OCT. 21.—For the last two months the Royal Engineer establishment, under the entire direction of Lieutenant- Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., have been engaged in preparing a system of countermines in front of the ravelin on the left of Chatham lines, not only with the view to practise in mining, but also with the obj ec t o f carrying on the course of drillin subterraneous warfare. The corps of the Royal Engineers will be divided off for this occasion into distinct parties, ene representing the besiegers, and the other the defenders of the fortress, the operations to consist chiefly in mini ng aga i nst eac h other, on which occasion considerable charges of gun-. powder will be exploded. They will b e hi g hl y interest ing to the scientific military officer, asthere is no in stance of a similar course having been at any time car ried on in this country on the same enla rge d sca l e. I t i ill, in carry on proportion as n th n e d y er m st a o y od be th e a n t ab th le e d at to ta a c d ki v n a g ,c pty m easrubterr the upper ground in the ordinary work of a siege. The operations, it is stated, will probably extend over a period of eight or ten days. Lieutenant Penrice, of the Royal En gineers, will take the command . of the d e f ence; an d C apta i n Wynn command the attacking party. Neither of the two officers know anything . of each other's plans, the attack and defence being entirely disti nc t i n t h e i r re spective duties, and the parties of Sappers and Miners are positively forbidden to hold any communication whatever with each other ; all that can be ascertained is, that each party can hear each other at work with their picks and shovels. The whole of the operations will have the same importance as if done in actual ser vice. The extent of the ground occupied by the troops form an extent of about teu acres. Captain Wynn, from the third parallel, is pushing forward several galleries in the expectation that out of some of these points of attack he will succeed. Lieutenant Penrice's is a system of countermines founded on a new plan for defending the glacis of a fortress. At present it would be unfair to give a detailed account of the two operations, as each officer enters the contest with no more knowledge of each other's operations than if they were in an actual siege with an enemy. The subterraneous warfare com mences on Tuesday, the 22d instant, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. It is expected that. several distinguished officers from London will be present. The Bishop of Salisbury has offered to contribute liberally himself, and to obtain liberal assistance from other quarters, in aid of the rebuilding, on a large scale, the parish church of Fisherton Anger, near Salisbury. PENTONVILLE MODEL PRISON. The last number of the Illuminated Magazine con • tains a very interesting account of the above esta blishment, in which the important experiment is being tried, how far it is possible, by the adoption of a cer tain discipline, to reclaim social beings from the lowest state of degradation and crime. The principal means resorted to, we need not say, are silence and separa tion—an utter denial of communication by speech or look between the prisoners themselves, or with any other persons except the divine, the schoolmaster, and the prison auth o riti es . Th e e ff ec t o f suc h a change as this, from the mode of life to which the prisoners had been previously accustomed, was looked for with some anxiety, in the dread that, in seeking to restore the moral being of the prisoner, his mental faculties might be destroyed, and this, it must be allowed, was not a groundless apprehension ; and if such a system of discipline were exercised without care, its inevita ble result would be, to change the criminal into an idiot; but, with proper precautions, this fearful result is avoided, and the good part of the system left to operate with full effect. The chief means employed are—good and sufficient diet, constant occupation, and ample exercise, by which the body is kept healthy, and the mind free from that depressing and wearying influence which would other wise prey upon it. The writer of the account we refer to, Dr. Luke Roden, says— "On entering an unoccupied cell, the inmate being at work in a distant part of the prison, I was sur prised at the number of its accommodations. A hammock hung up at the side, with hair mattress, pillow, two sheets, two blankets, and a rug ; a wash hand-stand and basin fixed ; two cocks for the supply of water, of which each prisoner is allowed six gallons daily ; a table, stool, pint mug, plate, knife, spoon, soap, towel, and duster; there is, also, a large carpenter's bench at the side ; a gas light burning till nine o'clock ; school books and slate, Bible, prayer book, hymn-book, one religious book, and one secular. I noticed the Penny Magazine, Satur day Magazine, and Chambers's Journal. The ventilation is entirely artificial, and is most perfect. The air enters over the door, through a perforated plate, and passes out on a level with the floor under the window, into a flue connected with a central chimney, where a fire secures a constant current. What I have enumerated is the furniture of every cell, with only the variation of loom, or table, for the carpenter's work-bench, according to the kind of trade the prisoner is acquiring —tailor, weaver, mat or rug maker, &c. " As when the prisoner is locked into his cell, it is just possible that he might be seized with illness, suddenly, and require immediate assistance, it was necessary to provide some means of giving a signal to the attendants—although the constant inspection, the regularity of food and exercise, and the extreme vigilance of the medical officers make such an event barely possible ; but, in case of accident, the prisoner turns a handle which immediately strikes the central bell of the gallery, and at the same moment, and by the same act, there starts out from the side of the door of his cell the iron plate with his number, which lay flat against the wall, so that the officer, at the point where all these galleries meet, sees instantly in which cell his aid is required. The invention is per fect. When he has attended to the cell he pushes back the iron plate again flat into its place. The only use, however, to which this very ingenious con trivance has yet been placed is to signify to the teacher-officers that the inmate of the cell requires more cloth, thread, or whatever be the nature of his occupation, or that he wishes for instruction in some difficulty. It is scarcely possible that the signal should ever be wanted for sudden sickness, because the whole of the inmates are miraculously healthy, and are subjected to none of those causes which are liable to interfere with the tranquil performance of all the bodily functions." He was present at their dinner. "It was a curi ous sight, the streams of human beings, all dressed alike, with the vizors of their caps down over their faces, so as to be utterly irrecognizable by strangers, or by each other, marching regularly, steadily, and in perfect silence, with a space of twelve or fourteen feet between each of them, so as to make any com munication impossible. Each passed into his cell, and the echoes of the gallery announced the closing of every door in succession. " While this was going on, up rose slowly through the floor, sliding on the bright upright bars which reached to the ceiling, the immense series of loaded trays; as they stopped at each floor in succession, the attendants took out th e cases o f t rays , an d p l ace d them on a sort of waggon reaching from one gallery to its opposite side, and moving on wheels along the edge of iron railing, which thus forms a sort of rail way. An attendant at each end of this travelling apparatus, pushes it on till opposite the doors of two cells, when he, with wonderful rapidity, un locks a little port-hole in the upper part of the door, which falls down out war d s an d f orms a s h e lf on which lie places the dinner; it is instantly seized by the prisoner, when the attendant pushes up the little shutter, locks it, and passes on to the next. In this manner they proceed with a quiet regularity, activity, and precision, which would seem absolutely impracti cable to those who have not seen it in action, and thus upwards of five hundred individuals are served with their dinners in separate rooms, perfectly hot, in less than a quarter of an hour—it can be done, and has indeed been accomplished, in twelve minutes and a half. The evolutions of a brigade of soldiers on a field day are not a more admirable exemplification of the power of system and order. " The dinner which I saw distributed consisted of a pint of good soup —as good as is found at the table of a tradesman—five ounces of bread, one pound of , potatoes, and .feur, ounces of meat,: weigheid 'after being cooked, and divtsted of bone, making it nearly equivalent to half a pound of undressed meat with the average quantity of bone—an all owance considered sufficient in the domestic economy of large families—an excellent dinner, and vastly better than can be enjoyed every day by the family of the la bouring man. Breakfast consists of three-quarters of a pint of cocoa, made with three-quarters of an ounce of the solid flake, two ounces of milk (real milk) and six drachms of treacle—a very grateful beverage; with this he is allowed ten ounces of bread. As the soup contains a good deal of barley, it forms an im portant portion of the nourishment, which would be a very abundant allowance for a labouring man out of prison, and master of his own time. There is no fermented fluid whatever allowed to the prisoners; their drink is perhaps the purest and best water to be found in the world ; it is drawn by an artesian well from a depth of three hundred and seventy feet, and is forced up to the top of the prison by pumps worked by prisoners ; from thence it is conveyed by pipes into every cell." " For this generous but unstimulating diet (says Dr. Roden) the prisoners are indebted to the sound judgment and humanity of the medical officer, Dr. Owen Rees. No man better knows that to keep the brain in a state fit to receive instruction, it must be well nourished ; that when you call on the intellec tual organ for the highest efforts of which it is capa ble (self-restraint), you must supply it with whole some and invigorating blood; that it is in vain to ex pect attention to moral instruction while the stomach is unsatisfied, and the faintness of insufficient nourishment renders the mind listless or savage; and that if the object is to be attained of real refor mation, it must be by the exercise of a healthy brain." We recommend these latter remarks to the notice of those gentlemen who expect religion and morality to flourish among a half-starving population. When will the physiological truth set forth above, that mental and material well-being must go together, be applied to the case of the great body of our working population ? DARING ROBBERY AT ST. THOMAS'S CIIU,RCH, SOUTHWARK.---On Sunday last the ancient church of St. Thomas's, Southwark, was the scene of unusual bus tle and confusion, in consequence of the loss of the whole of the communion plate, consisting of several pieces of silver, which had been in possession of the parish authorities for the last 200 years. It appears that the plate had been deposited in its usual place of safety at the commencement of the present month, and on opening the safe on Sunday, the contents were found to have been removed. Information having been for warded to the police-station in the Southwark-bridge road, a diligent search was made by several officers, but no clue could be discovered. A small crowbar was found, used by housebreakers, near the entrance of the church, in St. Thomas's -street, and on making a more minute enamination, there was no doubt that the thieves had effected an entrance through a window which had been left insecure at the front part of the building. The police are making every exertion to trace out the stolen property. ALLEGED EXCESSSIVE FLOGGING,—At the Ux bridge Petty Sessions, yesterday, Mr. Hodder, school master of the union workhouse, attended to answer the complaint of a Mrs. Church, as to his having ill-treated her two boys. They declared ho had given them eight stripes, so severe that the blood flowed. On the other hand, Mr. Whatley, the master of the union, deposed that the board of guardians had ordered six stripes to be inflicted, that only that number bad been given, and that they had not been unnecessarily severe, nor had he seen any blood. The bench (most of whom were also ex officio members of the board) dismissed the complaint. COSTLINESS OF GA RAIARTIIENSIIIRE JUSTICE.—The punitive part of our administrative system of law hire, it will be thought, is rather costly, when it is stated that the amount of property f o r the stealing of which the prisoners at the Carmarthenshire Quarter Sessions, held yesterday and to-day, is only about forty shillings, while h v the cost of prosecution falls but little short of three un dred pounds.— ilrek , liman of Friday. SOUTH WALES TURNPIKE TRUST COMAIISSION.— The Commissioners have .*one through most of the prin cipal towns connected with turnpike trusts. Everywhere the most candid disclosures and communications have been made to them, not only as regards the accounts of the different trusts, but also as respects the social con dition of the various districts which formerly evinced their dissatisfaction at their administration in no gentle mood.—Cumbrian. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK FESTIVAL. The preparations for this great and important local and national event, which takes place next Wednesday, are upon the most gigantic scale. Rich and poor are to be provided with the means of substantial and social en joyment, and the blame will not rest with the promoters of the Birkenhead Docks, if, upon that auspicious occa sion,:one throb other than of unalloyed; delight fills the breast of any of the inhabitants of the township which their measures sea - calculated so materially and permanently to improve and benefit. The morning will be ushered in by the firing of cannon and ringing of bells ; the steam-boats crossing the ferry will be deco rated in the gayest manner, and flags will be hoisted from all the public and many of the private buildings in the town. The procession will start from the Town hall at eleven o'clock. The Odd Fellows, Foresters, Druids, Temperance, and other societies, are expected to join it. The route will be round Hamilton-square, through Church-street, round the church, up Conway street, through the new park, down Cavendish-street and Corporation-road to Wood-aide, where the ceremony of laying the foundation stone will be performed. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the grand public banquet will be held at the Railway Station, Grange-lane, which will be tastefully and appropriately decorated for the occasion. The following gentlemen have already signified their acceptance of the invitation of the Committee :—Lord Bateman, Sir William Massey Stanley, Bart., of Hooton, Sir John Stanley, of Hooton, and party honourable Lord Kenyon, Wm. Ewart, Esq , M.P., Thos. Thornely,:i Esq., M.P., W.R. Collett, Esq., M.P., Townsend Mainwaring, Esq., M.P., Wm. Entwisle, Esq., M.P., Sir Philip Eger ton, M.P., Tatton Egerton, Esq., M.P., J. J. Tollemache, Esq., M.P., Peter Gr eena ll, E sq. , M . P ., Joseph Bro therton, Esq., M.P., Sir Edward Cust, Bart., Cornwall Lee, Esq., M.P., J. Brierley, jun., Esq., M,P., Thomas Grimsditch, Esq., M.P., &c., together with a great num ber of the county magistrates. Several officers of the sth Dragoons, now stationed at Manchester, and officers belonging to the 6th Regiment, at Chester, will be pre sent, as will also several naval officers. For out-door amusement a grand display of fireworks will take place shortly after nightfall, and every eminence in the neigh bourhood will resound with the the discharge of cannon, or gleam with signal fires, indicative of general rejoicing. Extra steam-boats will cross the river all night, and, in fact, every accommodation will be offered to visitors. The fund at the disposal of the festival committee, at present reaches the handsome sum of 2,oool.—Liverpool I Mercury. ETIQUETTE ON THE SC AFFOLD.—A letter from Presburg, of Sept. 23, in the Gazette des Tribunaux, says, " The murderers of M. de Kennet, one of the Deputies of the Diet of Hungary, have just been tried and exe cuted. Ono of them was Conrad Tornyi, the servant of the deceased, and the other a shoemaker named Kowaez, who not only aided in the crime, but afterwards robbed his accomplice of all the articles of value which were in M. de Kezinet's apartment at Presburg. Tornyi avowed his guilt, and acknowledged that he had cut up the body in pieces. The sentence of the court was, that Tornyi should be quartered, his body burnt, and the ashes thrown to the wind ; and that Kowaez should be decapitated. The prisoners appealed, but the King confirmed the sentence of death, changing Tornyi's puni s h men t i nto s i mple beheading. This sentence was carried into execution two days back, in the market-place, and a strange incident added to the terrible interest of the scene. The judgment ordered Kowaez to be first executed ; but this Tornyi protested against in the strongest terms, declaring that as he was of noble blood he was entitled to die first. His claim being rejected, he fell on Kowaez, and endeavoured to pull him from the block. Kowaez sent him back with a violent blow on the chest ; and Tornyi was on the point of giving blow for blow, when the executioner's man seized him, and bound him so tightly as to prevent him making any exertion. They were both executed in a few minutes after. This singular ambition of Tornyi to have his claim of birth attended to in such circum stances, calls to mind an execution at Copenhagen in 1816, where, when some men were sentenced to death for exciting their fellow-prisoners to revolt, three of the number had been beheaded, but the fourth refused to place his bead on the block, on the ground that the per son beforo him had been a Jew, and that he, being a Christian, could object to having his blood mingled with that of a Jew. After some parley the magistrate granted his objection, and the man having cleaned the block of the blood as well as he could, placed his head down tranquilly, and underwent the sentence." THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.—Yesterday being the 39th anniversary of this ever memorable victory, a number of naval officers who had been in the engage ment dined together at the Naval Club-liouse, St. James's-square. At Greenwich Hospital the tars were regaled with an excellent dinner, a pint of porter, and a shilling being also given to each man. At Portsmouth the usual annual dinner was given to the officers serving in the action, and others, on board the Victory, the ship in which the noble and lamented Admiral was killed. INCAUTION IN TILE USE OF KNlVES.—Yesterday the foreman of Mr. Budge, a butcher, in the New-cut, Lambeth, was engaged cutting down the skin of a calf's head, when the knife slipped, and entered with great violence his abdomen, cutting the intestines to a conside • rable extent. Immediate surgical assistance wes pro cured, but from the extent of the injuries sustained it was recommended that the unfortunate patient should be re moved with all possible speed to St. Thomas's Hospi:al, where he lies without hope of recovery. SINGULAR HABITS OF A HORSE, AND EXTRA ORDINARY ESCAPE.—AII the world knows that the artil lery brigade of the Worcestershire Queen's Own are ex pert to a degree in the art and mystery of a cannoneer, but it may not be so generally known that the very horses of the brigade are something far beyond a mere common quadr.ped, not simply as to shape and other physical requisi.es, but in matters which so much ap proach the vaunted reason of their biped masters, that no one has as y e t ver y c l ear l y po i nted out the distinc tion. For example, the leader of one of the guns is named" the Gentleman," and so proud is be of his post and title, that though gentle as a lamb at exercise, sub mitting to be harnessed as quietly as a donkey, and standing fire as resolutely as the Pyramids, he will net allow himself to be employed in any other species of labour. Then, he can open gates and shut them, and he has a way of hunting out the places in his walk where Woikmen leave their. victual_ bags, on -which he will pounce, carry them to a place of .security, and swallow. the contents. lie cats anything that comes in his way, like a Christian; and one of his foraging excursions was attended by so remarkable a coincidence th a t it s history is worth telling. He was roaming one day lately over the domain of Howell. when he fell in with the provant of one of the artillerymen who was at work in an arch way on the grounds. He scampered off to enjoy the spoil, but Mr. Gentleman had been observed, and notice of ,the robbery having been given to the owner of the prey, he left the drain and gave chase to the marauder. Having overtaken the thievish steed and recovered his grog, the man returned to his work, when lo! in Lis ab• sence, the arch had fallen in, arid sq but for the fortunate circumstance of Gentleman stealing his dinner, and his consequent pursuit, it must have fallen upon him, and then, beyond a dosbt, he would have met an untimely death.— Worcester herald. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A few days ago, as a lady residing in the Lower Deptford-road was in the act of diverting her little boy, she took up a large piece of pho. phorus for the purpose of writing her name in a dark corner of the room, and accidentally striking it against the wall her hands became enveloped in one mass of burning flame. The injury she has sustained is of the most painful character, and it is feared that ampu tation will be necessary, so that she will lose one, if not both, of her hands. What renders the accident more remarkable is, that she had previously given instructions to those of her household not to touch the phosphorus, and shortly afterwards fell a victim herself to its most dar4,—rous effects. DESTRUCTIVENESS OF GAME.—At the last meeting of the Bedford county magistracy, Mr. T. A. Green, of Parcenham, alluded to the injury done to the crops by game, and the great expense cast upon the county in the prosecution of poachers. The magistrates of the county should petition Parliament for a repeal of the game -laws; any suggestion emanating from such a body would not fail to have due influence. Mr. T. C. Higgins expressed his readiness to sign any petition properly drawn up. There could be no doubt but that the game laws worked inconveniently, but it so h a pp ene d that those intrusted with the administration of the law were those most interested in its maintenance. He had very great doubt whether a petition would be of any use, as it was impossible for Parliament to say that persons of property should not preserve game. Lord C. Russell, M.P., freely admitted that the preservation of game was an evil, inasmuch as it was a species of property claimed by private individuals, and for the protection of which the public ought not to be taxed. Ile did not anticipate any good result from legislation, because a repeal or re laxation of the law would only give an additional impulse to poaching. He thought that there was less mischief in having a great deal of game properly preserved than was likely to result from a little unwatched. It was said that the game-laws had a demoralising effect upon the lower classes ; to some extent that was t rue , but there was a gr ea t dal of exaggeration on that point. Ilis principal ground of objection to the game-laws was, that they injured the agricultural labourers, as the farmers were deterred from the cultivation of roots and green crops, which were destroyed by game. The best course to adopt would be, that gentlemen should have no more game than they could take care of pro. perly, for as soon as the game went on another man's ground it was a very strong temptation. Mr. T. A. Green apprehended that there would be no neces sity for game-laws provided the laws against trespass were made more stringent. Ile knew that the subject would he brought beforo Parliament next session, and it occurred to him that it was fur better the proposition should emanate from a body such as he was ad l d e re t s e si t o h g e , than that it should come from persons h game-laws. Mr. T. Harvey doubted w of the game-laws would have all the moral Would not put magistrates had a summary d p u a y, te n d :heartelgeausiatritph e a t l h e oe t s i r c t :c a t en ti repealci :e r r? . If certain that it but that might poachers. juwith the necessity for the game-laws, risdiction in cases of trespass, that might do away further discussion, and no substantive After some be considered as interfering with . the liberty of the sub ject.motion having been proposed, the consideration of the subject was postponed. The late Mr. Thomas Brueton, of Bilston, after l ea ving numerous legacies to his relatives, 500/. to the Wesleyan Chapel at Bilston, and considerable sums to various chapels belonging to the "Primitive Methodists," has directed that the residue of his property, which it is supposed will amount to upwards of 20,000/., shall be Missionary equally divided betw een t h e B r i tish and Foreign Bible S M o i c s i s e i t o 3 n , ,atrhye Society,Wesle Wesleyan the lv olerhmpt Society,on the London Dispensary,the Birmingham General Hospital, the Queens hospital, Birmingham, an d the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Edgbaston.—Essex hierald. SURREY. The popular drama lately produced at the Adelphi and Haymarket Theatres, of MM. Dumanois and Dennery, entitled Don Omar de Bazan, was last night brought out at this public place of entertain ment on the Surrey side of the water. The produc tion of the piece at an earlier period has been delayed to the present time in consequence of the engagements of Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris. It is unnecessary to enter into the plot of the piece, as it has already been presented to the public at the Adelphi and Haymarket Theatres. It will be suf ficient to say that it was eminently successful, though we think a little cautious pruning would do it an effectual service. The scenery, by Messrs. Brunning and Turner, from D. Roberts's celebrated views in Spain, cannot be too highly spoken of; and the music, which has been arranged by that universal favourite Stansbury, reflects great credit upon him. Johnson, Hughes, and Hicks sustained the characters appro priated to them with great ability ; the puns of Lewis, although many of them were far fetched, elicited roars of laughter,'and kept the gods in good temper, and the excellent acting of Miss Terrey was most deservedly applauded. We must not forget the performance of Mrs. H. Vining and Mrs. Honner, as Lazarillo and Maratana ; they sus tained their parts with their usual talent, and made the most of them. The piece was announced for repetition every evening until further notice, by Mr. Hughes, amid general plaudits. We understand that several new pieces are in preparation, and will shortly be produced, and that engagements have been entered into, ,y the spirited female lessee, with many eminent performers. The evening's amusements were con cluded by The Eve of Battle, or Woman's Nerve, and The Crown Prince, or The Buckle of Brilliants, which, having been performed for some weeks, have become deservedly favourite pieces. VICTORIA. Don Cesar de Bazan having made the round of the houses on the Middlesex side of the Thames, has adventured into Surrey ; and last night witnessed his first appearance at the Victoria, Mr. Osbaldiston per. sonating the redoubted Don himself, while Miss Vincent sustained the no less difficult character of the Gitana. It would be an oft-repeated and un grateful labour to detail the plot of the drama, which, thanks to its intrinsic qualities, is so well known to the theatrical world. It is a more pleasing task to chronicle the excellencies of the artistes. The Don —the brave, the honourable, but very reckless Don— was enacted to the very life. The careless adventurer transformed in one moment, by the action of wounded honour, into the high-minded and haughty Grandee, exhibited nothing of the startling and discordant abruptness which might be supposed to arise from the sudden change. No. The true nobility of nature but wanted occcasion to exhibit itself; and the King, Charles 11. (Mr. Dale), by his attempt upon the virtue of his subject's wife, at once aroused the bitter feelings, which had only before lain dormant. Miss Vincent's acting was above all praise. In the ballad singer of Madrid, as in the wife of the fiery Count, she exhibited a delicacy of sentiment, a subdued energy of purpose, which proved that she had carefully studied the trying part assigned her. They were excellently well supported by the inferior personages. The drama was most successful, and not a little of that success may be ascribed to the manner in which it has been got up by the talented lessee. The costumes are faithfully copied from that worn by the proud Court of Spain at the troubled period to which the romance has reference. The scenery reflected credit on the artist, and a moonlight view in particular ex hibited the finish of a cabinet painting. The drama was received throughout with every mark of approbation, and will, we are assured, become a first favourite with the good folks of Lambeth. Don Ccesar was succeeded by Coleman's Maniac, in which Mr. Graham sustained the principal character with his wonted ability. The evening's amusements were wound up by the clever farce of That Rascal Jack, the scapegrace being personated by Mr. Jonn Her bert, who sent his audience home in the best of tem pers. We most cordially recommend our friends and all pleasure-seekers to visit the Victoria. CITY OF LONDON. The Belle's Stratagem was produced at this theatre last evening, and it is a pleasure to witness the change of taste in the audiences from combats and red fire, to sterling good comedy. Mr. Wilsone was the Sir George Touchwood ; Doricourt, Mr. Roxby. The Flutter of Mr. J. Browne was a spirited perform ance. Mrs. Walter Lacy, as Letitia Hardy, was beautiful; indeed, above all praise. The character of Miss Ogle was very excellently acted by Miss M. Lee, who made the most of so trifling a part. Miss K. Howard was the Mrs. Racket, and Mrs. D. Lee Lady Touzhwood. The comedy was excellently got up, and the house crowded. THE CORN AVERAGES.—We have received a state ment from a Correspondent to the effect that the corn factors throughout the country are busy at the old work, so much complained of under the late Corn Bill, of making fictitious sales, and thus raising the apparent average price of grain, and, of course, keeping down the duty. Barley is said to be the species of grain in which speculations of this kind have been made, and it is added that efforts are being made to expose those guilty of this practice. We believe that these fictitious sales can not be prevented under the present law, any more than they were under the previous law ; and, however much we may regret the fact, it is not the less certain. It is almost impossible to find out whether sales are bona fide. On making inquiry into the statements of our Corre spondent, we find that they are very likely to be true ; certain it is, as we have been informed on very good authority, that it is difficult indeed to sell the very finest qualities of grain at the quoted average price. This fact at once shows that fictitious sales are still made amongst corn-factors, even under the model measure of Sir R. Peel ; it also shows the great amount of grain which has arrived in this country under that measure, and which will not be purchased at the quoted price, in the full expectation of a further decline. These facts, we think, completely justify us in the opposition which we have felt compelled to give the now Corn Bill of Sir 11. Peel, which is rapidly ruining our farming interest, and which, taken in connexion with the other pet measures of the Eight lion. Baronet, will ultimately have the most serious influence on every other interest in the country.— Pos t. GALLANT CONDUCT of a BRITISH OFFICER. • ,„.„: On the 12th of August, in 1at.15 S., lon . Ai when off Fish Bay, Mr. John F. Tottenhirn,. matiAtf her Majesty's ship Hyacinth, was sentitt alounoareil gig, with one spare hand, to communicate the Portuguese Governor. The weather having b6eome thick, he missed the port, and being unacquainted with the coast, anchored the boat for the night. On the following morning he pulled aga i n to thelonth ward, and, about noon, discovering a s usp i c i ous-looking brig without colours slip and make sail, het-- • chase. There being but little wind, an d the vessetert tangled with the land, he was enabled to get within musket shot of her, and fired wide of her tb- indite° her to show her colours. This, however, regarded ; and the officer observing them tridn:up,'a post, and run a gun out, pulled into her wake. _. , Sotto of the brig's crew immediately commenced "firing musketry, whilst the others get the gun on the poop and pointed it at the boat. Mr. Tottenham upon this fired as fast as the spare hand could load for him, and s ith such coolness and precision (as was afterwar4 proved) that almost every bullet expended was traced to the gun-carri:ige or its immediate vicinity. Four of the crew having been wounded, to avoid being boarded they ran the brig on shore and abandoned her—to the number of 18—leaving one man behind, who soon after died of his wounds. Mr. Tottenham immediately took possession of the brio-, which proved to be a fine vessel of 200 tons, and fully equipped for carrying 1,000 slaves. Her decks were strewed with musket, swords, and bayonets, a barrel of gunpowder, and a quantity of ball cartridges, besides two four•pounders, loaded. In the course of the afternoon she was discovered from the mast-head of the Hyacinth, which stood in and hove her off'. The astonishment of Captain Scott and his crew at finding so large a vessel captured by his four-oared gig may be easily conceived. BONDING IN MANCHESTER.—We believe we may now say that all that depends upon either the corporation of Manchester, or the authorities of the Custom. house here, to prepare for the introduction of bonding into Man chester, has been done, and that everything is now in state of readiness to comme nce immediately. We understand that several buildings have been licensed as bonding ware houses ; and, as will be seen by articles elsewhere, the corporation have adopted a tariff of town dues upon the various commodities to be bonded, and also fixed a rate to be paid to them by the owners of bonding warehouses, from which source a fund will be raised for the purpose of defraying the salaries and expenses of the staff of Customs' officers, all of whom are now at their posts at the Custom-house in Mosley-street. We have not heard of any goods being, as yet, actually bonded, but believe that notice has been given of a quantity of wine, on its way hither for that purpose.—Manchester Guardian. The General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the city of Salisbury were held on Monday last, on which occasion the calendar contained the name of only ono prisoner for trial. The Learned Recorder congratulated the grand jury on this circumstance, which he considered highly creditable to the city, and expreSsed a hope that it might long be so honourably distinguished. The Learned Gentleman further remarked, that during recent journeys into various parts of the country, he had observed the excellent effect of the rewards .given .to . labourers by agricultural associations; and it appeared to him that industry might be encouraged,. and' crime diminished by similar institutions in towns and cities, to provide rewards for the most faithful servants and workmen. The single bill sent before the grand jury having been ignored, the only business which occupied the court, was the trial of an indictment for assai lt, pre ferred by Mr. Phillips, toyman, against Mr. Ciayton,' saddler, both of Salisbury. It appeared that the plain tiff had made use of some scurrilous language to the' defendant, which the latter revenged by horsewhipping him in the public streets. The jury accompanied their verdict with a recommendation to mercy ; and the de fendant was sentenced to pay a fine of five shillings, and to enter into recognizances to keep the peace.—Devizes Gazette. An anecdote has been related to us of the King of the French, on the authority of an ear-witness ' whicia cannot fail of proving of interest to our readers. On the occasion of his Majesty's late installation as a Knight of the Garter, when the Chancellor of the Order, the Bishop of Winchester, arrived at that part of tl e ceremony at which the knight is called upon to declare that he " will not make any unjust or unholy war upon the Sovereign of the Order," the King interrupted the Prelate, and em phaticafly exclaimed more than once " No, I never will." Ilis Majesty afterwards d es i re d t o be furnished lAith a copy of the oath, in order, as he remarked, that he might Observe minutely its injunctions. AN IMPUDENT HOAX.—On Monday last, a great number of the citizens of York assembled on the Melton high road, near to the fires toll-bar, to which plafe they had been invited by handbill., extensively circulated in the city during the early part of the day, containing the following announcement:—"RAlLWAYS SUPERSEDED.— The nobility and public of York are respect fully informed that Hamer and Pigott's novel and extraordinary road engine, with curriclo attached (proceeding to Bull for immediate shipment for Bamburgh), and which met with the uequalified approbation of her Majesty and Prince Albert, from its performances in the Grand Quadrangle of Windsor Castle, will exhibit its powers, under the guidance of Mr Boyd, R.E., on the level line of road, between the Ship Inn, and the first turnpike on the Mahon road, between the hours of two or three P.M. this day. A limited number of seats on the engine, ss. each; seats of the curricle, 3.—Oct. 7th." The anticipated novelty of the exhibition produced great interest in the public mind, and the hundreds of people who had as sembled waited patiently till an hour had elapsed from the time announced, when a feeling of suspicion that the whole was an impudent hoax, pervaded; and such turned out to be the case, for neither engine, nor any re presentative of the above firm, ever made their appear ance.— Yorh paper. The Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital have given 200/. in aid of the erection of a parsonage house at Scremerston, near Berwick-upon-Tweed. They have also promised a similar sum towards the building of a new church at. Nenthead, in Cumberland. FATAL' COLLIERY A CCIDENT. An inquest was held, at the Leeds Court-house, ,on Wednesday ;last, before G. T. Harrison, Esq., DeputysCoroner, on view of the body of John Thomas, a coal-miner, aged 18 years, lying dead at theinlirmary. The deceased,*ho worked at the colliery of Mr. Rogers, at Beeston, Was at the bottom of the shaft, on the 4th instant.; and a heavy piece of wood, which was being sent up on the top of a corve, tame in contact with a descending corve, was knocked off, and fell upon the head of the deceased, and fractured his skull. Ile was removed to the Leeds General Infirmary, where he expired on Tuesday last. Verdict—" Accidental death."—Leeds Times. PLATING WITS! FIRE.—A most disastrous fire oc• curred at Dynsock, in this county, on Wednesday last ; the origin of it was somewhat singular. It appears that two little boys were playing at killing pigs in a barn, when the one who mimicked the butcher pro. cceded to singe the other, and lit a' luoifer match, by which the straw in the barn ignited, and the place was . soon in a blaze. The boys ran away, being too' frightened to give an alarm, and the wind fanning the flames, they communicated to some stacks of hay 'and corn, and- we regret to state that property to the amount of 800 Z was destroyed. The premises are the property of Mr. Thack well, but now in the occupation of Mr. Cummings, of.. s ss the George Inn, llymock.—Cheitenhant Free Press. OUTRAGE AT ALBANY BARRACKS.—A spteiat Court Martial was held at Albany Barracks„ Isle of Wight, on Wednesday and Thursday last, on Thomass Mills, a private of the 45th depot, under thOP l ßivings circumstances :—A fortnight ago priso ner was'pTaced . iq confinement in the dry•room for drunkennesafak sence from duty, and being afterwardaltiforreted thaOnr .

AN ABUSIVE MISSIONARY.—A Baptist miss!onary at Trinidad, named Cowan, was in September ordered to find security for his keeping the peace towards a " teacher." The "reverend" gentleman had, it appears, called complainant " a nasty filthy beast," and shook his ' fist at him ; while " his lady" had been equally violent in her abuse of complainant's wife, to whom she had ap plied equally offensive epithets. .1
