In this case the insolvent, who had carried on business at Stratford, Essex, as a clothier, came up f or hi s i n t er i m or d er. He was opposed by a creditor in person, on the ground that he had fraudulently removed his property. The icsolvent, in his examination, stated that his furniture was only worth 151., and his stock in trade only 91. 155., and that the whole of it was still on the premises to which he had removed. He admitted that it was requisite for a van to be employed twice for the removal, and laughed at the opposing creditor asserting that more had been removed than could be found. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was very inconvenient to bear a case twice over; proof should be adduced at the present time. The opposing creditor said that be was not prepared, but on insolvent coming up again the carman should attend. Adjourned till the 20th October. SOUTH 11 7 ARWIt 'KSHIRE ELEC TION. WARWICK, SUNDAY.— lir. Bolton King has addressed the electors of the southern division of tea; county, and commenced his canvass with considGrAh4 success. He is now, it is said, to be opposed by Lord Brook, who is on the continent, and for whom his friends have undertaken to issue an address. Yesterday morning, his agents pro ceeded to obtain signatures to the following requisi tion :—" To the Lord Brook—We, the undersigned free holclers and other electors of the southern division of the county of Warwick, requert you to allow yourself to be Froposed as a candidate to fill the vacancy in the repre sentation of this division, occasioned by the death of Sir John Mordaunt. We entertain so high an opinion of your Lordship's constitutional, honourable, and inde pendent principles, and of your zeal and anxiety for the prosperity of the agricultural interest, that we feel con fident the high and important trust we are anxious to repose in you cannot be placed in safer hands. Oct. 4, 1845." In the course of the day, however, Mr. Bolton King arrived in the town, and, it was said, commenced canvassing the electors, when it was deemed advisable by Lord Brook's supporters not to wait the result of an answer to the above requisition, and they forthwith issued the follow ing address : "TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF WARWICK. " The Committee for conducting the election of Lord Brook have authority to state that his Lordship is a candi date for the honour of representing the Southern Di vision of the county of Warwick in Parliament, to till the vacancy caused by the deeply-lamented -death of Sir Mordaunt. " His Lordship's attachment to the institutions of the country, and his support of Conservative principles are well known ; and the Committee are authorised to state most distinctly and unequivocally, that his Lordship will give his most cordial support to any just measures for the relief of the agricultural interest, whether brought forward by the Government or not. "Comtaittee-ro,m, Warwick Arms, Oct. 4, 1845." Since the appearance of this document, which took place late last night, nothing further in connexion with his Lordship has been heard, while On the other band Mr. King's friends are in the most confident hopes of success. It is rurnewred by the Conservatives that the Hon. Gentleman will not stand a contest, but retire, now that Lord Brook is fairly put forward. We do not believe he wilt retire, and if he does it will only be from a pru dent desire to avoid a contest which must, ere long, be resumed under far more exciting and irnprtant circum stances. The following is the address issued by Mr. King : TO TIIE ELECTORS OF T;IE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF WARWICK. " Gentlemen,—The greatly-to-be-lamented death of Sir John Mordaunt having caused a vacancy in the re presentation of •this division of the county, I offer myself as a candidate for the honourable and important situa tion of representing you in Parliament. " If you should think fit to elect me, it will be my earnest endeavour honestly and independently to dis charge the great trust placed in my hands, and most especially to support the interests of the landowners, farmers, tradesmen, and labourers of this agricultural division of the county. Both in public and private life, it has been my constant aim to support these interests by advocating sufficient protection for agricultural produce, and by opposing every extravagant and unnecessary ex penditure of public money, as the only means of reduc ing those general and local taxes which press so heavily on the tradesman and cccupier of land. " To the measures of the present head of the Govern ment I do not promise uniform support or constant oppo sition; they have been too contradictory and uncertain to enable me to form any opinion of what they will be for the future. But I will uphold all measures calculated to promote the public good, and oppose all such as would tend in any respect to injure our laws and constitution, or to lessen our civil and religious liberty.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient humble servant, " BOLTON KING. Umberslade, October 3, 1845." HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER ECLAIR. A report, of which the following is an outline, was made to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council, on Friday, by Sir William Pym, Superintendent •General of quarantine, and Mr. Arnott, of the Middlesex Hospital. These gentlemen proceeded to Portsmouth on Tuesday last. The Eclair, it will be remembered, reached the Motherbank on Sunday evening. She had been immu• dialely reported to the Custom-house authorities, which are always the first informed of such matters, and the channel of communication with the Privy Council, as having on board a most malignant fever. 'I hat circum stance was, in due course, communicated to the Privy Council, and in consequence of its order Sir Wm. Pym and Mr. Arnott proceeded on Tuesday morning to Portsmouth. They immediately repaired alongside the Eclair, accompanied by the quarantine officers, and made the most minute inquiries into the con dition of the ship and the crew. From them it resulted that the crew had been suffering from a mcst malignant fever, with black vomit, since the 23d of July, when the steamer sailed from Sierra Leone. On leaving that place she proceeded both to Gambia and Goree; but the French authorities of the latter Pace would not evt n allow any communication to be had with her, and she left immediately for Buona Vista, one of the Cape de Verd islands. Here the whole ship's company was landed, all the stores taken out, as well as the water tanks, and the ship was thoroughly cleansed, 1 urnigated, and whitewashed. But '3l of the officers and crew having died on shore in less than three weeks, it was determined, after an investigation by the medical officers of .the Eclair and the Growler, which was at Buona,Vista, that she should proceed imme diately to England. Before leaving Buona Vista, Mr. M'Clure, a surgeon of the navy, who was passenger on board the Growler, with seven seamen of that vessel, nobly volunteered their services on board the Eclair ; and Mr. M'Clure, it is to be regretted, fell a victim to his devotion to the public service. After leaving Buona Vista the fever did not abate, as might have been expected, when the vet sel approached a more temperate climate. On the contrary, before she reached Madeira, Captain Estcourt and Mr. M'Clure both died, and one of the seamen who had volunteered from the Growler was attacked with the disease. At Madeira the authorities would allow of no communica tion from the Eclair, though they permitted Mr. Ber nard, a naval surgeon, and two seamen, who volunteered their services, to embark on board of her. Mr. Bernard and the assistant-surgeon of the Eclair, Mr. Coffy, still remain on board the vessel at Stangate Creek. After leaving Madeira the disease continued as bad as ever. From the time of her leaving Buona Vista till she ar rived in England, she lost at the rate of almost one man per day. Two deaths occurred after her arrival at the Motherbank within the space of thirty-six hours, which elapsed before she was visited by the medical gentlemen mentioned above, and one fresh ate of fever appeared on the 20th. Considering these et umstances, and par ticularly the fact that the fever still , revailed on board, it was thought necessary that the ship should be kept in quarantine, but that every means should be taken to provide for the wants and recovery of the men. She was accordingly immediately ordered t• Stangate Creek, the usual quarantine station, and two hulks were placed at the service of her crew. Into one of them those who had not had the fever were removed, and on board the other those who had been attacked and had recovered were placed. Fresh bedding and fresh provi sions, and everything which it was supposed could con tribute to the recovery or the comfort of the crew, were immediately supplied. Indeed, everything of that kind which was needed was sent to them at Portsmouth. Be tween the 30th ult., when she was visited at Portsmouth, aril Friday, the date of the report, three more deaths had taken place ; but as no fresh case of fever had oc curred subsequent to the 29th, and there were only two patients confined to their hammocks, it was hoped that the progress of the disease was arrested. Besides these two, there were eleven of the crew convalescent, the remainder having either wholly escaped the fever, or had the disease aid recovered. It is singular that of the forty-three Kroonaen, taken on board at different periods, and still on board the Eclair, not one was ever affected by the disease. The Eurydice, 26, Captain G. Elliot, and the Per sian, 16, Commander Coryton, were at Vera Cruz on the Ist ult. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Commodore Jones, and the Star, 6, Commander Dunlop, were at Ascension on the 12th of August. Lieutenant William Mattley, of the Wasp, 17, died at Ascension on the 13th of July of fever on board the Penelope, whilst on his passage to rejoin the Wasp, after having taken to Sierra Leone a slave brig captured by her. The gallant officer had once before been attacked by the coast fever. He was a brave young officer, aged twenty-seven, and highly re spected in the service. His loss is deeply regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, by his brother officers especially. His remains were interred at the Island of Ascension with full honours, naval and military. The gallant deceased was the son of Mr. George Henry Alattley, of Portsmouth, editor of the Hampshire Telegraph newspaper.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. s.—The Superb, 80, Captain Corry, will leave the harbour tomorrow; she would have left yesterday, but it blew too hard for her. The Amaione, Prussian corvette of 12 guns, Captain Baron Derchinck Holmfeldt, remains in the harbour, but will sail to-morrow for Dantsic. Yesterday the Baron gave asuperb dejolner on board to a most brit . liant and disting - uishedeircle, comprising his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Prussia ; his Excel lency Count hchattgot, Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Tuscany : Chevalier B. Hebeler, Prussian Consul-General ; Baron Thile, Secretary to the Prus sian Legation ; Count Arnim, AttacL6 ; M. Van den Bergh, Prussian Vice-Consul at Portsmouth, &c. Ad miral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, was invited, but did not attend. On the distinguished visitors going on board the yards were manned iu most excel lent style, and hearty cheers given, which ceremony was tepeattd on their leaving the vessel, when 'her noble ceptain received the congratulations of his visitors upon the order and efficiency of his ship, and the splendour of his entertainment. In consequence of this vessel having been brought into harbour on her arrival with her powder on board, all the pilots at this port have been since supplied by the Commissioners of Pilotage with the printed instructions upon the subject, cautioning them of the consequences of a violation of those regulations. The Fairy Royal yacht tender, Master-Commander Roberts, went out of harbour yesterday morning round the Spit buoy and down the Solent for some short dis tance, to try a new description of screw, which, we are informed, was found to answer admirably. The Harlequin, 16, was undocked after the Superb was finished, to complete her refit for the pendant. The Carysfoot, 26, has received her masts, and is ready for commission. The Osprey, 12, Commander Patton, since she has been on the China station, has had trials of sailing with the flag• ship Agincourt, 72, the Vestal, 26, the Daedalus, 20, the Wolf, 18, the Cruiser, 16, and the NVolverine, 16 ; all of whom she beat. The Osprey was one of the experimental brigs built in this dockyard on the design of Mr. Blake, the late master shipwright. The Alban steam troop-ship, Lieutenant-Commander Lowe, arrived at Pill, Bristol, on Wednesday, from Cork, for volunteers. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, sailed on Tuesday from Cork with the 73d Regiment, for the Cape of Good Hope. The Formidable, 84, Captain Rich, sailed yesterday morning at daybreak for Chatham, to be paid off. The Racehorse, 16, Commander Hay, sailed from Si mon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, for New South Wa ou the 11th of July. COAST GUARD. APPOINTMENTS.—Lieut. from Selsea station, to command the Fox, at Fowey, vice Haswell, whose term of service expires on the 10th inst. Lieut. Has well, from the Fox, to command at Cadgwith station, vice Pooley, removed; Lieut. Ferrar's appointment can celled. Removal—Lieut. A. Ferrar, from Axrnouth to Brans. comb station, vice Draw removed. Twelve blockmakers were added to the " establish ment" in the woodmills, Portsmouth dockyard, on Friday. ZETLAND. The weather during last summer occasioned great anxiety to the inhabitants of this district —wind andrain prevailed throughout. The fishermen could only at rare times get to the fishing ground, and remain long enough to have any chance of success. The quantity of fish caught has, therefore, been very deficient. Several of the small six -oared, or haff boats employed in the ling or deep sea-fishing, were overtaken with the gales, and totally lost with all their crews. It is deplorable to think of the great loss of life occurring every year among these adventurous fishermen, without the least effort or assistance being afforded by Government to guard against such calamities, by sending one or two small war vessels to sail along the coast during the fish. ing season, and afford protection and assistance to the fishing boats when in danger. The French, Dutch, Belgians, &c., protect and guard their fishermen ; but a British vessel of war is never seen on the Zetland shores. Yet, when Government want men for the navy, they are not slow to seek a supply from among our hardy but neglected islanders. Amidst all the unsettled weather, our crops attained considerable growth, and some fine days during the first part of the present month have had the happiest effect on them. The bear crop is fertile, and has been nearly all cut down in good condition. The potatoes are an excellent crop, but the oats are still exposed to the gusts of wind which too often prevail about this period of the season, and not being fully ready for the sickl We have had a visit from some Free Church ministers. Their voyages have pe.thaps been mane with the intent to raise money fur making up to our islanders any defi ciency in their crops. They are surely tuu benevoli nt to attempt to carry off any funds out of so poor a district, and too clear-sighted not to perceive that there is no need of a Free Church here, where the people are well supplied with religious light, because, besides the Esta blished Church, we have Independent, Methodist, and Seceder chapels ; the pastors and congregations gene rally are both zealous and exemplary. Although we have not been favoured with a sight of any of our British men•of-war, we have had the friendly and agreeable visits of those of other countries. First, a pretty little Dutch gun-brig spent some days twice at Lerwick ; and next, an el, gant French corvette " Pre voy ante," commanded by that highly esteemed officer, Captain Robin de Pare, with three French cutters, paid us a ten days' visit. The urbanity and elegant hospi tality of the commanders and officers of these vessels, and the peaceable demeanour of their crews, are worthy of all praise.—Lenvick, Sept. 20. We are happy to add, in accordance with the above, that the corvette and two of the French cutters, viz., Passe par Tout, and Eperlan, visited Leith Roads during last week, and the officers expressed themselves highly delighted with this city and its elegant buildings, and in particular with the Castle and Holyrood Palace. The officers also afforded much pleasure to a few private friends in Edinburgh, whom they honoured with their company during their stay here.—Courant. WASTE LANDS AND THEIR RECOVERY. The draining of swamps has been the means of re covering many thousands of acres, which were, f o r cen turies, indeed as long back a s any recor d could be ob tained, perfectly useless; and it is almost the first cry of a superficial observer, when ground lies under water, "Drain it." All this is very easily said; and if you ask the parties so ready with their advice, how the water is to be got ril of, seeing that all the ditches, and even rivers, in the neighbourhood, are as high as the ground to be drained, they would be rather puzzled to carry their advice further. But even this must not discourage us, when we observe what has been done in some cases. It is possible that a large part of land lying always under water, and that water considerably below the bed of the river that runs through it, may be so effec tively drained as to be north cultivating and paying a smart rent for. Let us presume that ten thousand acres of ground, not worth a shilling ate acre—not worth anything in fact, because alwa,i s under water—be nevertheless in a good situation for farming, ,if it could be drained. It is clear that, if any means could be contrived to make it workable, it would yield a rent, which we will suppose to be only ten shillings an acre. Any means that would cost annually five shillings an acre would have a profit of five shillings an acre. Make preparation, therefore, for working a steam engine at the lowest part, to force up the water to the bed of the river, and keep it always going, if necessary. Now, drain the land as you would if the water run off, bringing all the drains so as to con vey the water to the dyke cleared by the engine ; and the effect is as complete as if it actually run away, in stead of requiring to be forced away by extra power employed on purpose. In this manner leave the tens of Lincolnshire been converted frem endless sheets of water to excellent wheat lands, yielding, under ordinary cul ture, four quarters to the acre ; so that there really i s not any ground, in any situation worth claiming, t h at might not be claimed by the application of some of the numerous means employed. A windmill has been four.d equal to the draining of a large swamp, where there were no means of running the water off, the near est and best watercourse lying more than six feet above the level of the great part of the swamp. T here was an excavation made at the part nearest the outlet, and this was pumped out by means of a very economical windmill, raised sufficiently to catch the wind ; and though there were times when the w ant of wind g ave t h e water a little lenity, it was for the most Part well kept under, and proved a valuable addition to the farm. Th e draining w a s of course performed so as to gu id e the water to the excavation, where it was expelled to the nearest watercourse by the mill. It is not the apparent difficulty that should deter us fro m atte mpting improve ments. In the Lincoln fens' improvement, l and worth nothing was made worth a conside rable s um ; and if it cost half the annual rent to keep it drained by means of steam -engines, the other half would be profit, and there fore worth the effort.--Borticultar al Magazine. APPLICATION BY GOVERNMENT OF NASMMI'S STEAM PILE DRIVER.—This powerful engine, which is work ing such mighty changes in the cost and construction o f works where piles are necessary, is no w bein g patronised by Government. Mr. Nasmyth has been, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, to Deptford Dock, to choose a place fit for the erection of one of a large size; the dr ivi ng head to weigh tons, and capable of g i v ing from 70 to 80 s t ro k es per minute ; yet, so completely is this ponderous machin e un d er the command of the engineer, that lie can so regulate it that stsmyth's di rect it should take a dozen taps to crack a nu t, and then not cru s h the kernel! It is intended also to ha re N action steam-hammer, which is on the samep r i he i pie at all the Government dock yards, of differe nt sizes suitable for large anchor work, and the smaller works of the smithery. Mr. Baker, who is superintending the marine works at De vonport, has had a Nasmyth's. pile driver erected, by which the whole of the piles necessary will be driven in three months, which, by the old system, would hav e t a k en three years. An offer was made to the men that, if they would drive thirty pil es i n one d a y, they should have a gam{ supper provided for them, and, on Saturday last , they set to work i n good earnest, and completed the number in the given time ; these piles were from eight en to twenty-four inches square, and, consequently, a frontage of about fifty feet was piled in the day: the men were substantially regaled in the evening. —ltirang Journal. -N , P-DBER,6 LATE MELANCHOLY OCCUR RENCE AT HOUNSLOW BARRACKS. On Saturday Sergeant Jecks, T 20, the officer by ah. in this warrant issued against Lieutenant Martin. Francis Kerwan on Tuesday last was executed, left the George Inn, Hounslow, with a carriage:and post-horses, for the purpnse of fetching that gentleman from Tothill fields Bridewell, arrangements having been privately made that an application should be made to the bench of magistrates by Mr. Chtrkson. the barrister, fur the ad mission of Lieutenant Kerwan to bail. At twelve o'clock the following magistrates took their seats --Mr. G. Buillie (of Hanwell) chairman, Rev. Dr. Walmsley (Hanwell), Rev. H. S Trimmer (Heston), Mr. B. J. Armstrong (Southall), Mr. T. Twining (Twicken ham), and Mr. J. Frere (Chiswick). In the room we also noticed Lieutenant-Colonel Daly, commanding officer of the 4th Light Dragoons, Captain Cumming, Captain Megan, Captain Lucas, and Lieutenant Langton, of the same regiment, and several other military offic2rs. Lieut. Kerwan then entered the room, accompanied by Sergeant Jecks, and took his station at the bar before the magistrates' table, where he was afterwards accom modated with a chair. He appeared to be rather above the middle stature, fair complexion. mild and pleasing features, and was attired in private clothes. Mr. Clarkson said Lieutenant Kera tin was an officer of the 4th Light Dragoons, now stationed at Hounslow Barracks. lie had been charged with an (deuce, amounting to a felony, against the person of Quarter. masts'. Thomas Tarleton, of the same regiment. He would not enter into the causes which led to that much to-be-rE gretted occurrence; but he would observe, on the circumstarces that precided the injurv, that there was no proof of deliberation, and nothing like malice could be inferred from the facts. Ile did not require to b,s told that the law makes no difference in the offence; but he was also aware that, under the recent Acts of Parlia ment passed on the question, it was exclusively in the hands of the magistrates to grant him that which he applied for ; and before he concluded he should show them there were not then and never were any dangerous symptoms in the wounded man to prevent them flow doing so. He would now call the medical gentlemen who had been in attendance on the wounded man, and show his present condition. Mr. Edward Smith Graham deposed that he was sur geon in the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons. He had in consequence of the infliction of the injury been at tending Quartermaster T. Tarleton and last saw him that morning at eleven o'clock. The wound in the abdo men had been inflicted with a sharp instrument. Wit ness considered him progressing very favourably, consi dering the nature of the wound he had recoil el, and he entertained hopes of his ultimate recovery. He did not consider there was any danger at present. He should say now he was out of danger, and that the wound was heal ing fast. Mr. John Mure deposed that he was assistant-surgeon in the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons. He now con sidered the patient was quite out of danger. Some of the magistrates said they thought the wit ness's evidence was too indefinite. He ought to go more fully into his reasons for saying so. Mr. Clarkson asked if he meant that the unfavourable symptoms which had presented themselves had yielded to the measure.; adopted by the medical men, and the patient was now out of danger. The witness said that was the fact, Mr. Twining wished to know how long those symp toms had subsided. Was it on the previous day ? The witness replied : Not long. He would admit the patient might relapse. He had, however, not done so since the energetic measures to meet those symptoms had been adopted. There was no appearance of diarrhoea. Mr. Ralph Allen Frogley deposed that he was a sur geon residing in the town of Hounslow. He also had seen Quartermaster Tarleton, at 11 o'clock that day, in consultation with the two last witnesses. He had also attended the patient from the time of the injury. Ile gave, as his opinion, that the patient had been out of risk for forty-eight hours. He could not, however, say, that inflammation might not yet arise. The bench then consulted together for a short time, and The Chairman said the magistrates had considered the evidence of the medical men, and also that the oc currence had been without any deliberation, and had come to the determination to admit the accused to bail, himself in the sum of 500/., and two sureties in 2501., for his appearance at that court on that day fortnight further to answer the charge. Mr. Clarkson then offered as bail Lieut.-Colonel Francis Dermott Daly, the commanding officer of the regiment, and Captain Alexander Gordon Cumming, of the same regiment, saying he thought it better to bring forward two officers of the regiment, in order to show the opinion the officers entertained on the subject. The requisite recognizancea having been gone into, Lieut. Kerwan bowed to the magistrates and left the court, accompanied by his brother officers and friends, and immediately quitted the place on their way to Hounslow Barracks. The following are copies of the depositions taken at lounslow Barracks on Tuesday last, and en which the granting of the warrants for the apprehension of Lieut. Kerwan was founded. Copies of them were on Thursday last forwarded to the Horse Guards, in consequence of an application to the military authorities:— " The information and complaint of Thomas Tarleton, Regimental Quartermaster of the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons, who, on his oath, saith as follows: " Un Sunday night, about ten o'clock, the officers were in barracks, showing feats of strength amongst them selves, acid, in consequence of Lieutenant Kerwan, in wrestling with Lieutenant Greville, of the 2d Life Guards, getting thrown twice on the floor, Captain Fane stopped the exercise cif these officers, when Lieutenant Kerwan said Captain Fane had no right to interfere, as a superior offic e r was present. Capt a i n F ane then left the room, and I lost sight of him. Presently afterward Lieutenant Kerwan also left the room, and immediately afterwards Major Parlby, of the 4th Light Dragoons (the superior officer alluded to), called me out of the room, and stated that Lieutenant Kerwan intended to go into Captain Fane's room ; and the said Major Parlby said to me then, You are a stout fellow, prevent him (meaning the said Lieutenant Kerwan) from going into his room.' When I went into the barrack-yard, I there saw the said Lieut. Kerwan and others, and went up to him, and seeing him excited, I endeavoured to soothe him. He (the said Lieut. Kerwan) replied, that he had been threatened with the guard-room, and to that he would go.' The said Lieut. Kerwan then went up stairs to his own room, and put on his cap. Then I said, 'I will not allow you to go out ;' and 1 shut the door, and placed my back against it. Two swords of the said Lieut. Kerwan were hanging close to the door on pegs, when the said Lieut. Kerwan immediately took one sword, and said he would go out. 1 replied that I would not let him. I said this, because he was in so excited a state. Lieutenant Kerwan then said, There is another sword—defend yourself.' At the moment he said this I was reaching forward, and towards the second sword, but never drew it from the scabbard. At this moment Lieutenant Kerwan attempted to get past me at the door, and there he made a thrust at me with a naked steel sword, which did not touch me, but passed under my left arm. I immediately afterwards felt the blow which occasioned the wound I have received. The wound was just below the navel, and was inflicted by the sword then in the hand of the said Lieutenant Kerwan when he struck me the second time. I said to him immediately, You have stabbed me,' and I went to the light of the fire, and found blood on my shirt, and I went down stairs and sent for the surgeon. All this took place on Sunday night, the 28th day of September inst., at the barracks on Hounslow Heath, in the parish of Heston, and in the county of Middlesex. 1 have always been on the best friendly terms with . Lieutenant Kerwan, and I feel sure that, except when be was in the excited state in which be then was, be would have been the last man to have injured me. " THOMAS TARLETON. "Taken and sworn before me, one of her Majesty's justices of the peace, in and for the county of Middlesex, this 30th day of September, 1845. " H. S. TRIMMER." " The examination of Ralph Allen Frogley, surgeon. of Hounslow, in the parish of Heston, in the county of Middlesex, who on his oath saith— "On Sunday night last I was called up by an orderly soldier of the 4th Light Dragoons, between eleven and twelve o'clock, to attend at Hounslow Barracks. ,I came immediately, and found Regimental-Quartermaster Thomas Tarletoa labouring under a severe wound under the naval, which appeared to have been inflicted by a sharp instrument. .1 dressed the wound, and, with other medical gentlemen, prescribed for the patient. " I consider the said Thomas Tarleti n's life to be in danger, but that there is a chance of his ultimate re covery. " RALPH ALLEN FROCLEY, Surgeon." " The examination of Edward Graham and John Mure, surgeons, who on their oaths severally say— " I have attended the said Thomits Tartleton, in con junction with Mr. Frogley, and entirely agree with him as to the state of the said Thomas Tartleton, and as to the instrument with which the wound received by the patient was inflicted.

DISCOVERY OF AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL RELIC AT STAINES. —On Thursday, the 11th ult , a tradesman of this to wn (Windsor) observed on a market stall a small plate, on which was engraved a long but well executed in scription, which he purchased for twopence. On closer exa mination, the plate proved to be of so'id silver, and the tenor of the Latin inscription was diligently inquired for. From one hand to another it passed, until it reached Dr. Beasley, who found that the plate had been attached to a chest formed from a pile driven by Cassivellanus to prevent the passage of Caesar and his army across the Thames, at the Coway, Wal ton, several of which have been found from time to time in the bed of the river. The circumstance of a silver plate being purchased for twopence at an old iron stall furnished a subject for gossip, and the person who had sold the plate soon found the "ciste," and brought it to the doctor, who lost no time in making the purchase. No doubt of identity was entertained, as the plate had been let carefully into the wood. It remains only that the plate be recovered to make the most interesting relic of olden time once more complete. —Windsor Express. According to his annual custom, the respected and esteemed representative, W. Williams, Esq., M.P. for Co ventry, invited his constituents to meet him at St. Mary's hall, on Monday last, to hear his opinion of the business transacted during the last session, and to give any explana tion of his votes or conduct during that time. At . the hour appointed a vast number of the electors of the city were in attendance, and on the motion of Mr. Mayo the chair was taken by Mr. John Hands, who, on opening the business cf the day, said his task on the present occasion was a very easy and straightforward one—it was simply to introduce to the electors present their justly-esteemed representative Mr. Wil liams, and to ask of them that they would hear calmly and patient y what that gentleman had to say, and then, should any party have any question to ask, or observation to make, requiring explanation, Mr. Williams would be happy to afford the desired information. Mr. Williams, who was received with loud applause, addressed his constituents at great•length. The Earl of Aberdeen left town on Saturday, on a visit to , her MAjesty at Windsor Castle. FLANDERS MAIL. ' BRUSSELS, °cr. 2.—The King presided yesterday in the Council of Ministers.

The delegates of the Luxemburg Railway Company have been to Luxemburg in order to open negotiations with the Grand Ducal Government to obtain the con cession of a council which should traverse the territory of Luxemburg, and then be continued to Treves. The Courrier of the Grand Duchy says, that these ne gotiations have failed, and that the delegates of the Com pany have left Luxem burg without having concluded any thing with the line of the Government. The quantity of coffee of the growth of the Dutch possessions in the East Indies, imported at the duty of 9f. 9c. per kilogramme, amounted on the 30th of Sep tember, to 3,144,297 kilogrammes, to be deducted from the 4,500,000 kilogrammes to be imported. There re mains 1,455,703 kilogrammes to be imported at Antwerp.

SCREW-AUXILIARY VESSEL, MASSACHUSETTS. The screw-auxiliary vessel, Massachusetts, Captain White, arrived in the Mersey yesterday afternoon. She left New York on the 15th ult., and, from wharf to wharf, her passage may be put down at 17 days 11 hours. She had, the whole way, head winds and calms, and her run may therefore be considered excellent. She brought 10 passengers. She is, without doubt, the most extraordinary vessel, as a specimen of consummate engineering skill, that ever crossed the Atlantic, and will, we think, ex cite more attention and admiration than any craft that ever left the American shore. She is the first of a screw-auxiliary line to sail between this port and New York ; built at Boston, by Mr. Samuel Hall, for Messrs. B. Forbes and Co., of Boston; and has ai r( ady made one voyage from that port to New York. She is 800 tons burden, American measurement, 155 feet on deck, 173 feet from billet-head to taffrail, 33 feet beam, has engines of 280 horse power, and is shiprigged, with a few exceptions, the most striking being, that her topmasts are fidded abaft the mast. The lower masts are also unusually tall, and the funnel of unusual lowness, even in screw-steamers. Her cabins are capacious, well fitted up, and ventilated in a new, most ingenious, and strikingly effective manner ; and she can accom mortate forty passengers. Her screw is of a novel con struction ; it can be drawn completely out of the water at pleasure, by a must simple process, and placed in a perpendicular position against the stern; and, in such circumstances the " Massachusetts" is to all intents and purposes, a sail-vessel. The screw works most power fully, and ensures a speed, with sail, of twelve knots an hour. The sails and rigging abound in the most cu rious contrivances to ease the labour of reefing, short ening sail, &c.—perhaps the first instance in which modern machinery has been carried aloft. All sail has been repeatedly set in twenty five minutes. She has four life-boats ; and, what will be found the most extraordinary proof of American inge nuity yet known in ships, every bench, seat, stool, &c., is a life-boat, made of iron, with air-tight compartments, and adapted to swim, even with the weight of a man. So many contrivances for safety were never yet brought together. Between quarter-deck and forecastle, both of which are raised to an unusual height, there are, frigate fashion, between the deck itself and the top of the bulwarks, a kind of stages—found to be vast improvements on the plan in general use. For all these particulars we are indebted to the chief mate, Mr. J. H. Gordon ; but it would be an impossi bility to enumerate the various novelties and wonders to be found in the Massachusetts, and it is an inspection alone which can teach an appreciation. On the water she is a beautiful looking craft, with sharp bows, and an unexceptionable run fore and aft. She is consigned to Messrs.

A MAGISTERIAL PEER.—A certain noble vis count, passing through a village in Wales the other day, was requested to sit as a magistrate of a petty sessions, in tended to be held at that village, (his lordship being in the commission of the peace for the county wherein the village is situated,) but, upon finding that a certain rev. magistrate was then and there present, ready to act with him, his lord ship abruptly refused, adding, " that no power could com pel him to act with one whose sentiments he disapproved of!" The consequence was that the local business of the neighbourhood could not be transacted that day, and the parties having business there were obliged to travel some 14 miles to Denbigh to deliver in th it jury lists, &c., on Fri day. We regret to state that that this is not the only case in which the public interest has been similarly neglected by the same party.—Carnarron Herald. The number of bills of entry sold or subscribed for in Liverpool, from 1834 to 1844, averaged about 600 an nually, nearly 100 above the amount in London.

DUBLIN, OCT. 4 —Considerable disappointment is ex pressed in the political circles in Ireland at the total ab sence of all allusion either to the new Colleges Bill or to the national system of education in the recent charge of the Archbishop of Armagh. Belfast will be selected for the site of the new Ulster College. O'donnor, the inspector of detective police in Dublin, whose outrageous conduct has been frequently the sub ject of comment, has been dkanissed from his situation. MIIRDER.—On Tuesday evening, the 30th ult., between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, four fellows, all of whom were armed with bludgeons, entered the house of a man named Sheedy of Garranbeg, about seven miles from Nenagh. Michael Hill, the victim in this case, with others, was sitting round the fire at the time. On the party entering they threw something on the fire which completely darkened the house ; they then com menced belabouring unfortunate Hill till they left him, as they conceived, dead. On the first blow being given, the persons who were sitting round the fire ran away. The deceased was afterwards removed to his own house, which is next door to the oze in which he had been beaten, and where he expired the following morning. The cause assigned for this daring act is that the de ceased refused to allow his brother to marry a young woman with whom an intimacy had existed. On Thursday an inquest was held on the body by James Carroll, Esq., Coroner. Joseph Tabuteau, Esq., S.M. ; Captain Pollock, R.M. ; and John Lewis, Esq., were present. There was but one witness examined, who deposed to nothing more than what is narrated in the preceding paragraph. Edward Kitson, of Nenagh, Esq., M.D., made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased, and found the left side of the head completely smashed in, and the left arm very much contused, and which must have caused almost instantaneous death. The jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some persons at present unknown." Four fellows were taken up on suspicion. On the same day the steward of the Her. Mr. Butsen was shot at Ballinasloe, and a poor car driver was mur dered in the county of Monaghan by three villains with whom he had remonstrated fur insulting a female. This was also on Tuesday. FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE TREA SURY.—This morning about seven o'clock a most fearful oc currence took place at the works now going on at the Trea sury and the other Government offices. The men were just about to commence their work at the top of the building, which is sixty or seventy feet from the ground, when one of the masons, named George Wildey, living at 51, St. George's road, Southwark, by some means slipped from the roof, and fell with dreadful violence the whole height, being in his fall struck with great force a g a i ns t th e stupendous scaffold ! ing which is erected all round the offices. He was picked up and conveyed on a shutter to the Westminster Hospital, where it was found he had expired as he was being taken. Nearly all his ribs were broken, his left arm and leg, and there appears to be considerable injury on the head. This is the first accident of a serious character that has occurred at these works. YORK, SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 4.—The rain has been falling in torrents for three days, with but little in termission. There has been another slip on the Scarborough line ; fortunately it happened with a ballast train. Last night's train could not get nearer to Scarborough than Mel ton. An engine that had been sent from Scarborough to bring it forward got off the line, in consequence of some re pairs that were taking place, the men not being made aware that an engine might be expected; consequently, the nine o'clock train could not leave Scarborough this morning. There was an immense number of passengers, and a great deal of grumbling, in the station. One lady insisted that she must go, for she had spent all her money in Scarborough except what would merely pay her fare. One of the officials administered consolation by telling her that it would be better fur her to starve a while than get her neck broken. A gentleman insisted on their going because his gig was waiting for him at York. Another lady said that she had been so long away from her babies, that they must take her to York. The powers, however, were immoveable—the train could nut start till twelve, and perhaps not even then. Among the disappointed was Mr. Wilson, the vocalist, who, having to sing in Ilarrogate this evening, immediately took a post chaise and left Scarborough. The train started at half-past twelve, and took many passengers away; but the line is sadly damaged by the rain, and the embankment,in many places, washed away to such an extent a s i s anytlnng but pleasant for passengers to look .upon. The country is all under water from the excess of rain that has fallen. There is a great deal of cons out yet, many fields of which are floating in water. They are tardy in this quarter in th e i r h arvest operations. A few days ago I saw a field of wheat dead ripe, with two men and a boy o n ly t o rea p i t ! Th e scene at blaiten last night was harassing in the extreme. The pas sengers had to sit in the carriage for two hours, the train not being able to move, and at last they wended their way, as well as they could, to Mallon, where accommodation was anxiously sought after for the night. Everything that could be done for the comfort of the passengers under the circum stances was zealously performed by the clerks and other offi cials at Mahon station. Such accidents, however, should not happen.—From a Correspondent. The Quarterly Accounts of the Revenue will again be before the public on Saturday next, the 11th inst. Of course the precise amounts cannot be known until the returns are finally made up ; but we feel that we may fairly anticipate a very large deficiency under the head of Cus toms as compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year, owing to the extensive reduction in the sugar duties, and the _other alterations in the tariff. In addition to these causes of a deficiency in the quarterly customs receipts, it should be borne in mind that in 1844 duties were paid on a , very large quantity of forsign corn, amounting to about 460,000 quarters, while the quantity in 1845 is under 80,000 quarters. We shall be much surprised, however, if the Excise returns do not exhibit a far ditferent result, for information derived from various sources assures us that this branch of the public revenue is steadily ad vancing, notwithstanding the abolition of the glass and auction duties, which together produced about .1,000,000/. per annum. Should our information prove correct, as we have little doubt it will, what gratifying evidence it will afford of the improving condition of the country, of the in creased.employment, prosperity, and comforts of the people; for on this point the consumption of excisable articles has ever been deemed perhaps the surest test. On all the other items of the public revenue we may safely anticipate a gene ral, though not very extensive improvement.—Observer. LASCAR SEAMEN.—The Merchant Seamen's Act passed last session, which obliges captains or owners of ves sels trading to and from the East Indies —who may take a number of the natives or Lascars on board to navigate the vessel, or assist in doing so, in room of the regular seamen who may have become diseased, sick, or dead, in places abroad, in consequence of the heat or unhealthiness of the climate—to keep them after their arrival in the British port, both in food and clothing, and also provide them with room in the same or another vessel, in order to enable them to return to their native country, is beginning to manifest itself, and the merits of the provisions made for the benefit of the poor foreigners, who were formerly in many Instances dis charged after their arrival, or as soon as their cervices could be dispensed with, to wander about the streets 'in a state of extreme destitution and suffering, and beCome a burden and disgrace to the country, are already very apparent. Notwith standing the very great number of vessels ;Which have arrived in this port from the East' Indies and other hot climates, where it is necessary for captains to avail themselves of the services of these poor natives, within the last few days not a single Lascar is to be seen in the streets, wandering about in search of food and other necessaries, as used so often to be the case, and which was so much to be deplored. The men are in every instan c e retained on board and victualled according to the usual ship's rations and customs of their native country. So striking a proof of the usefulness of the Act alluded to and its beneficial results, now that it is Tully r in operation, cannot be too much appreciated by every cha i ritable and honourably disposed person. .

Two foreigners, the one named Knut 8011, aged 29, and the other Peter Schmidt, aged 38, were brought be fore the Lord Mayor, on Saturday, in the custody of John and Daniel Forrester, the officers, charged by Mr. Kearsey, of the house of Huges, Kearsey, and Morti mer, solicitors of the Norwegian Consul, with haying committed a most serious efFence—viz., being in posses sion of papers containing forgeries of the bank-notes of Norway. Mr. Kearsey, in detailing the circumstances, stated that it was impossible to conjecture what extent of mis chief would have been perpstrated if the prisoners had not been detected in making the necessary preparations for carrying their iniquitous seher ne i n t o execut i on. Mr. F. J. Wightrnan, of No. 9, Little Queen street, Holborn, engraver, sated that Knut Bull called at his office on the 27th of September, and brought a packet which he said contained paints, and in it appeared some article of ornamental workmanship. Bell expressed a wish to have ar exact fac-simile of the ornamental work engraved on copper-plate, and gave particular instructions that every fine line should be precisely the same as the original produced. Witness worked the order, and 801 l called on the Tuesday evening and received the plate, and wished for an impression on paper. As the printer was gone, witness told him that he should have an impression next day. On Thursday morning 801 l called again, got an impression, and toed: the plate, for which he paid a guinea. In the afternoon of the same day, Bull called again, and said the Lon's nose in the embellishments was non sharp, the paper w:s too dark, and the impression too strong. Ile wish, d some corrections to be male. Witness made the re quired alterations, and 801 l was to call on Friday morn ing. 801 l at that interview gave witness an order for three brass stamps with pr o jecting letters, and deposited 11. with him, desiring him to be very particular. The price witness was to have was 4L, and 801 l said lie should have several other things for witness to do, and ho hoped witness would do them dell. When witness saw " Norges Bank " on seine of the pieces of paper which 801 l had given him to copy, and that money was con. cerned, he suspected that something was wrong, and he communicated with the Norwegian Consul on the sub ject. He amended the plate according to the order he received, and 801 l was satisfied with the performance. Witness next saw him that Saturday morning, when he called for the plate, and was takes into custody. Wit ness believed he had seen the two prisoners together, but could not swear to Schiniit. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that he, in com pany with his brother, went that morning to Mr. Wight-- man's house, and looked ruttgli the window in the par • lour into the shop, when Bell was there. Witness then came by a private dour into the street, leaving his brother in the parlour, and saw the prisoner Schmidt looking in at Evans's, the printseller's window, in Little Queen-stree t. When 801 l came out of the shop he was joined by Schmidt, and they crossed the street and went into Great Queen-streer, leading to Lincoln's Inn. Bell appeared to take some thing from his side-pocket, and when witness approached closer to them he observed a brown paper parcel in Bell's hand. In that brown paper was a plate, and witness immediately took hold of the plate, and as 801 l strongly resisted, witness's hand was cut with the edge of the plate. Subsequently witness found in Boll's pocketbook four pit ces of paper, which are imitations of certain portions of an original Norwegian bank-note. 801 l raid he lived at No. 34, Gloucester -street, Queen-square, wrote down that address, and Schm*.dt wrote down ditto, ditto. Wit ness afterwards went to the address, and was shown the room in which the prisoners slept, and in which there were two beds. He there !ound a bunch of keys, one of which opened a shaving-case, in part of which he put his hand upon a piece of a Norwegian b trek-note, and a little bit of paper. Mr. Kearsey said the morsel of p )per produced by the officer would be found, in the future investigation, to be. of great importance. Wm. Thomas Newell stated that he was in the employ.. ment of Mr. T. H. Saunders, Cloak-lane, stationer and paper-manufacturer. He had seen both prisoners tes. fore ; he first saw 801 l on the 10th of September. 801 l called with a female, who said that she came to interpret for him, as he did not understand the language. 801 l produced patterns or specimens of an article, and asked whether witness could imitate them. He replied that he could. The patterns were in white paper. and appended to them was a piece of pink paper, the colour of ordinary blotting paper, in which colour 801 l said thefiessimiles we re to be done. Witness told him the order would re quire time, and he was tc call next day to know the expens:. He did call on the 11th. Witness gave him the plate, and he agreed to pay 4L 10s. for the moulds, and sixty shillings a ream for five reams, or 2.400 sheets. [lt appeared that each of the sheets would constitute a spurious note for 100 dollars, or about 251. in English money.] Witness pro ceeded--eßoll gave him Si. on account. The whole were to be ready in fourteen days. 801 l culled on the 27th of Sep tember, but was informed the paper was not ready. On the following Tuesday he culled again, and stated to the witness that there was an error in the water mark, which must be corrected. He then ordered the Oin the water-mark to be altered into aC, and marked the paper as he wished this alteration to be made. Witness told him the paper was useless at that rate, and must he paid. for, and he admitted it and consented. 801 l called again on the ensuing Thursday to know if the mould was ready, and said witness must proceed immediately with 1,300, and he expressed a desire for another alteration, and pointed out an extremely minute one, stating at the same time that the colour of the paper was not exact, and that the paper itself was too stout. 801 l upon that occasion handed to witness a small bit of paper as a sample, which he told witness must be taken particular care ot, , and be returned. Bell then paid 101. on account. wrote down the name of 8011, and gave witness an order foe 1,300 sheets, to be ready by the next Thursday. Daniel Forrester here stated that he told 8011, upon taking him into custody, that he must account to the Norwegian Consul why he got the plate engraved, and Bull replied that he had met a Mr. Santag of Hamburgh at a cafe, who had given him the order to get the engraving done. He did not know where Mr. Santa °. lived. bf forlc .i T .:li r v i y a i s ri t a S te o d t t u t , h o a f t N l o i 0 . 2 h , a C d r e b e ee ba ti e l s ., q , d a reen,tV i ni c e N - C o r o vi ns a u 1 and in Sweden. H e was i n the habit of having in his poss. session Norwegian notes. The currency money -was principally in paper. The notes of different amounts were printed or engraved on differently coloured paper. ,The four dollar note was upon white paper, and was simple looking. The ten dollar note was upon y e llow paper. The fifty dollar note was upon green paper, and the 100 dollar note was upon pink paper, resembling blotting-paper in colour. These notes necessarily changed colour by passing through a variety of hands. Witness could speak as to the authenticity of an original Norwegian note. From his official position he was acquainted with the royal arms of Norway. They consisted of a shield sue mountecEby a crown, upon which was alien rampant, with a crown on his head and a battle-axe in his paws, in the act of striking, [Here the witness identified the arms of Nor way on a genuine note of that country.] From his know lege of the laws of Norway, he could state that the pos session of an imitation of the genuine note was an offence) punishanle by its laws.---(The witness here produced the code of Norwegian laws, from which he stated it was evident ;he offence was most heavily punished.) Mr. ISeairsey then requested that the Lord Mayor would remand the prisoners for some days. They both expressed a hope that the remand mould not be for any length of time, as they were both very anxious to be at tlamburgh next week.—Remanded. T- :HE HEALTH or HER M.
