She was built on the same slip as the Waterwitch, and has equal sailing abilities ; her sails also set beautifully--a more beautiful picture of a fleet one was never seen. The other three yachts came in nearly together. There is a very large assemblage of yachts in the Roads ; we counted at one time 53, besides numbers of small plea sure vessels. Many of these yachts have their owners and their families on board ; they are floating mansions, and this accounts for the lodging-houses in Cowes not being above half let. hrs. min. sec.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The York Meeting commences on Wednesday with a programme of sport sufficient almost to raise the late Mr. Orton (to whose energetic exertions its restoration is to be attributed) from that turf under which he was laid, to the deep regret of all lovers of racing in the north. On Wednesday we have the Dundas Stakes. the trial stakes of the meeting ; the Queen's Plate ; the Great Ebor Handicap ; the Filly Stakes ; the 30 Sovs. Sweep stakes ; Cult Sapling Stakes ; a free handicap, and a match. The entries for the first two races not having closed, I must turn my attention to the Great Ebor Handicap, to which there are thirty-three acceptances. Of these the Shadow, Bst. Blbs., heads the list. ,he is a game old mare, will run honest, has a favourable weight upon her; but I think as distance has always been her forte, on this occasion her lashing qualities will not have an oppor tunity of being displayed, as the course is only a mile 'and three-quarters. Trueboy, Bst 81b, I cannot hear of at any price. Neither can I fancy Lightning to have any chance. Yardley, but for his defeat at Wolver hampton, I think would have run well. The extra weight upon Glossy I should think would prevent her starting ; her chance at her original weight was first rate. Cataract is as slow as a hearse. Sir Abstrupus, 61b. 9st., is well in, but owing to his temper is not to be trusted. Little Hampton, sst. 101 b., and Jenny Wren sst., are certain to run forward. Marian Ramsay, sst. 51b., is too stale for a race run at the speed this is usually done at. Psalmsinger and Dran Swift's penalties effectually extinguish their chance if they ever had any. Pythia can hardly have forgot the effects of her running at Goodwood. And of the others, the only one I think that has the chance of being published as the winner of this stake is Vol-au-vent, whose running for the Newmarket Handi cap in the Craven meeting I cannot forget. It will be recollected that for that race, with 6st. 61b., she beat I-am-not-aware, Knight-of-the-Whistle, Croton Oil, Priscilla Tomboy, and two others, the course being exactly the same length as this ; and as he has had a long rest, and will have the able assistance of Abdale, I h•sve little doubt of his success. Next to him I prefer Jenny Wren and Hampton, and think they will pass the post in the order I have given their names. The Filly Stakes has six subscribers, the two best public runners among the lot are Marian Ramsay and Liela, and to the former, with little fear, I accord the race. In the Sweepstakes of 30 Sovs., Midlothian, I ima gine, will again be found first at the finish of the strug gle. Spur will walk over for the Colt Sapling Stakes, and the match between Inheritress and Libel won by the former. In the Chesterfield Handicap, Semiseria, being at home, may run kindly ; Philip should run well, but he made a sad exhibition of himself at Wolverhampton. Godfrey's chance, with only Szt. on his back, is excellent, so is Ruwena's, and to these three I leave the race, stating at the same time my preference for the latter. The Great Yorkshire Stakes excite much interest in all quarters. As the Stake is so small, we are sure to have a good field start for it. Miss Elis, as may be imagined, is first favourite, on account of her Goodwood victories. Splendid as were her doings on that course, I must say I do not think she will be found the best of the lot opposed to her in this race. My reason for making this statement is, that I do not think she can have re covered from the effects of her severe races at Goed• wood, so as to beat animals that have had long rests, and also because she can never run away from her own home. Annandale should, and no doubt will, run well, and either her or Jinglepot will, I opine, be found better in the termination of the race than the Goodwood crack. Have my readers forgot the result of the Queen's Plate at Newcastle ? It they have, I have not. The Prince of Wales's Stakes will furnish a good race between Luminary and the Slayer's Daughter, and I think he won by the former. Of the animals in the Convivial Stakes I know nothing. And the match between Inheritress and Sweetmeat will, I am firmly convinced, be won by the latter. London. TELEGRAPH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUY. SlR,—The meeting at York this week promises some good sport, which, it is to be hoped may be realised. It extends over three days, and has seventeen races, three of which are matches, a very fair supply quite up to the average. The ball opens on Wednesday with the Dundas Stakes, the winner of which, I opine, comes out of Daw son's stable. The Queen's hate I shall leave to .the tender mercies of Messrs. Wadlow and Hesseltine, having but very little doubt that if Alice Hawthorn can't do the trick, Sweetmeat can. The match between Inheritress and Libel, the former carrying only a stone more than the latter, is a certainty for Inheritress if run, but, in my opinion, one or other will pay forfeit. The Filly Stakes, of 25 sovs., one mile and three quarters, will have Marian Ramsay for winner if she runs, otherwise the filly by Glaucus, out of March First. The 30 sovs. Sweepstakes, a mile and a quarter, for which Mid-Lothian, Wynyard, Maramat, and, perhaps, Marian Ramsay and Fitzallan will show, seems to me to be almost a certainty fur Mid-Lothian, who is looking and going extremely well at the present time. This animal ought not to be despised fur the great Northern event at I.),,neaster, his running latterly has been any thing but medieere, and should he start well, without playing off any of those fantastic tricks so common to him, he will cut out all the present favourites, and finish in the front. _ The Colt Sapling Stakes, of 50 sovs. each, to which there are three subscribers, will, mcst probably, be a walk over for Spur. The Free handicap, of 100 sovs : each, will bring about six to the post, including Inheritress ? Pagan, and Winesour, whom I expt et to see pass the judge's chair, in the order I have placed them. The gi e.t Ebor Handicap, of 200 sovs. added to a sweepstakes of 20 “Ns. c ach, has thirty-eight acceptances, out of which, I think, about eighteen will come to the post, viz. t—Vol-au- vent, Castaway silly, Glossy, Lady Sarah, The Shadow, The Psalmsinger, Little John, Everton, Rowena, Cataract, Lightning, Dr. Husband, Sir Ab strupus, Yardley, Duke of Kent, Coheiress, Dean Swift, and the L.fant.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. observed in your paper of Thursday evening last an article headed " General Postmen," in which the writer, after alluding to the present mode of paying the letter-carriers by fees, &c., and recommending their abo lition, he suggests a scale of salary instead, which, in his idea, would be satisfactory to all classes of letter-carriers. Sir, I must confess that he forms a very liberal notion of the amount of remuneration to which a letter-carrier is entitled, especially upon the abolition of all fees, per quisites, &c. I know not whether the article in question was penned by any one connected with the Post-office, but if it was, he must be pretty well aware that such a scale as he proposes would not give that general satisfac tion which, by his style of writing, it would appear he flatters himself it would. I myself am doubtful whether it would satisfy any one class, but, be it as it may, I will state to you that the junior letter-carriers already re ceive one pound and some three-and-twenty shillings : to this class he proposes to give from twenty to twenty-two shillings per week ; the next class (the middling) are generally in the receipt at present of from eighty to one hundred pounds per annum : to this class he proposes to give six-and-twenty shillings per week ; the next and last class which he enumerates is seniors, who are in the receipt by salary and perquisites of from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty pounds per annum, as the returns to the House of Commons will testify ; and to this class he proposes from twenty- eight to thirty shillings per week. He thinks that each class would be content with a smaller sum, but for ulterior purposes he proposes what he styles the more liberal sum. What he means by ulterior purposes he does not explain, and, therefore, we are left to conjecture. Sir, I am sure that each class of letter-carriers will feel very grateful to the writer for the great interest which he takes in their welfare. He thinks every one will be satisfied with the scale he proposes. Does he for one moment suppose that men who have spent half their lives and have grown grey in the service will, as a reward for their long and faithful services, be satisfied by being stripped of half their income? They were appointed under the present system, and it was held out to them that they would arrive at their present income and even more by the faithful discharge of their duties. Surely then, if the public demands and the Government determines to abolish the present system and substitute new regula tions, it is not too much to ask that justice should be done those who may suffer by the alteration, and that compensation should be granted, as is the case in every other Government office when fees are dispensed with, and even in the post-office. Surely the letter-carriers have the same claims as others, and ought not to be the only class who are not to receive justice, as the article would imply. Sir, whenever his Lordship the Postmaster-General shall determine to abolish the present system of remu neration, we must submissively bow to his determi ,- stion, relying implicitlyupon his Lordship's known sense of what is due in justice, and we leave it in his Lordship's hands. Sir, I am afraid I have taken up a great deal of your time, but if you could find room in one corner of your valuable paper, you will much oblige, Sir, your very obedient, humble servant, A LETTER-CARRIER. THE HARVEST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—l have read with feelings of amusement and surprise the statements made in the public papers rela tive to the coming harvest. Thinking such reports emanated from parties desirous of raising the price of grain, I deemed them little worth attention; but perceiving that they have an effect on the public mind, I beg you will give the following statement place in your extensively-circulated journal. The harvest in the south and west of England is more abundant than was ever known in the memory of man. The late rains, so far from injuring the crops, have swelled the produce to the greatest plenty; long, full grown ears, with grain plump to bursting, is the in variable characteristic of the yellow fields amid which I dwell, and which awaken profound feelings of grati tude and thankfulness to that beneficent Power who has so bountifully crowned our hills and valleys with plenty. I yesterday traversed a great part of the counties of Wilts and Somerset; in every field 4 . The reapers voice was heard Among the yellow corn," and one glad scene of sunshine and of joy prevaded all nature. I hate croaking, and to rectify the statements of these evil prophets, I subscribe myself Your obedient servant, CORNUCOPIA. Wiltshire, August 16, 1845. FOREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—Large quan tities of cattle, fruit, &c., continue to arrive by the steamers from Holland, France, and Belgium, for con sumption in this country. The Dutch steam-ship Ba tavier, which arrived at the St. Katbarine's Steam-wharf on Wednesday night from Rotterdam, brought 70 oxen and cows and 60 sheep, in excellent condition ; also 213 baskets of plums, several baskets of poultry, melons, yeast, and other articles of Dutch produce and manu facture. The General Steam Navigation Company's ship, Sir William Jolliffe, which arrived on the following day, from the same place, at the Brunswick-wharf; Blackwall, had on board 15 oxen, 16 cows. 24 calves, and 48 sheep, 81 baskets of plums, 80 baskets of yeast, a quantity of melons, and other produce. This is the first importation of plums from Holland this season. They are of inferior quality, and not nearly equal to those brought from France, which have hitherto been of a superior description, and fetch a good price. The same company s vessel Ocean, which also arrived at the Brunswick-wharf from Rotterdam on the same day, and which, from the fact of her having no other kind of cargo or merchandise on board, appears to have been specially employed for the purpose, brought no less than 110 oxen and cows, and 280 sheep. This immense number of live cattle on board a vessel from the conti nent to London is unprecedented. They all arrived in perfect safety, and in good condition, and were landed at Blackwall and delivered directly. So large a number of live cattle from the continent has not, altogether, been brought to this port in any one week since the tariff came into operation, and it may, we presume, be reason ably anticipated that it will have an effect on the present high price of meat in the metropolis and the suburbs, which is, and has been for a considerable time past. a source of universal complaint and inconvenience. We believe that it is partly accounted for by the enormous comumption of animal food lately by the manufacturing population of the midland counties, thus rendering the supply to the metropolis more scarce and valuable. The company's vessel Tourist, from Calais on the same day, had a large quantity of poultry ; and the Rainbow, which arrived late the same evening at the St. Katha rine's-wharf, from Havre, brought no less than 1,050 baskets of French plums and pears of excellent quality, which were landed and delivered immediately for the markets. The revenue officers stayed both on that and the preceding evening for a considerable time after the legal hours of business, in order that the fruit, &c, might be examined and delivered before they became damaged or deteriorated. ADELPIII.—A new piece was announced for repre sentatation at this theatre yesterday evening—another version of the Candle Lecturcs—but, in consequence of the sudden indisposition of Mr. Wright, it could not be produced. In lieu of the previously arranged enter tainments, the performances selected were Sweethearts and Wives, in which Mr. Munyard took (for the first time) the part cf Billy Lackaday, and played it amus ingly enough, The Irish Dragoon, and The Pretty Girls of Stilberg.

HULL, STOCK EXCIIANGE.—The Shares, 24—Lyndon and J SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE. Yesterday a long inquiry took place before Mr. Bed ford, the coroner, at the White Horse, Rupert- street, Haymarket, relative to the death of Emma V‘ hale, aged twenty-five, of No. 5, Upper Rupert-street, who poisoned her-elf with oxalic acid. Martin Whaie, the husband, stated that he came away from IVinehester on the 28th of May last, in search of employment as a bootmaker, and having obtained work he wrote to his wife, whom he had left in the country, to come to him. A few days after her arrival he had certain suspicions, end asked her whether she had been true to him during his absence. After questioning her repeatedly, she told him that the wife of a sergeant in whose house he bad left her, had asked her, shortly after he went away, to accompany her to Portsmouth, saying that she was going to receive some money from her brother there, and that she would pay the expenses of both of them. Deceased, without the least suspicion, went with her, and upon arriving at Portsmouth she was taken to a puhlic house to have tea. After that, and while they were drinking wine, his wife asked the sergeant's wife when she was going to her brother's ? The woman only laughed, and his wife then saw that she bad been de ceived. A man known to the sergeant's wife, and de scribed as a half-pay officer, then came in, and they all drank wine together. Mrs. Lynch then told them to go up stairs, and they did so along with her, but immedi ately they entered the room the sergeant's wife ran out, and the man locked the door. She (deceased) then felt a kind of stupor, and in the morning recovered, and found herself in bed, lying by the side of the man, who was asleep. She cried very bitterly, until he awoke, and told her that he " was used to woman's tears," and that " Portsmouth women were not like Winchester ones." He offered her a sovereign and a gold chain, but she refused them both, and went down crying to the landlady, and asked her why she allowed such goings on in her house. The land lady said that was nothing to Portsmouth, and that if she (deceased) liked she might stay with her, and she would earn 61. or 71. a week. Deceased refused to stay another minute, and went back immediately to Winchester. The man had written to her several times, signing himself Charles Edward Stewart, and endeavouring to persuade her to leave her husband and go with him to India. He told her to write to him, addressing to Miss Louisa Ed wards, Post-office, Hull. Deceased described him as a dark, tall, and stout man, but the husband had since been enable to find him. The husband continued tiiiTate that he promised to forgive his wife if he could, but the cir cumstance was always preying upon his mind, and he re solved to send her back to Winchester, hoping' that in a short time he would be able to receive her back.. She was to have gone yesterday (Monday), but on the pre vious day she purchased and swallowed three penny worth of oxalic acid. Verdict—Temporary Insanity.

Davies, of Dolgelly, in the county of M• rioneth, was burglarionsly robbed, and a very large quantity of watches and jewellery stolen, on the morn ing of the 4th of January. In June last, a man named Jonathan Jones was apprehended as being one concerned in the robbery, and four of the watches were found by Mr. Hill, the active superintendent of police at Chester, in a box belonging to the pri soner. Jones was tried at the last assizes and transported for fifteen years. It was strongly suspected that a man residing at Chester, named Philip Dixon, was an accom plice (it was on his information Jones was apprehended), but no evidence could be adduced against him. On the morning of Saturday, the 16th inst., a box arrived for Mr. Davies by the Chester carrier, which, on opening, he was most agreeably surprised to find filled with the proceeds of the robbery, there being 96 watches, and a large quantity of rings, &c.—in fact, all that he recollected to have lost, except the four watches above-mentioned. The box was accompanied by a small brown paper parcel, in which was a le•ter, directed to Mr. Davies (not signed, of course), which was written badly, and saying that " her beg to return him his property." All that the carrier knows is, that the box and parcel were brought to the waggon by a man, small in size, and unknow n to him. The affair, as may be imagined, has caused a great stir in this quiet town, and all are glad of the happy return, as Mr. Davies is a man much respected, and was very much sympathised with by every one. ARRIVAL OF DWARKANAUTH TAGORE IN LIVER- PooL.—We are happy to announce the arrival in Liver pool, at the Adelphi Hotel, of that truly distinguished man, Prince Dwarkanauth Tagore, who has been tra velling through most parts of England for the purpose of inspecting the various public institutions and improve ments in the arts and sciences in this country. He has been waited upon by the Mayor, the High Sheriff, and the Recorder, and hai already visited the docks, and most of the public buildings. He proceeds next to Dublin.--Liverpcol Albion. At the fair at Brunswick, held on the 9th, the de mand for English manufactured articles was so great that the buyers could not be supplied in sufficient quantity. RAILWAYS IN CORNWALL.—The High Sheriff, in compliance with the request of about 1,600 noblemen, genilemen, and traders of Cornwall, has appointed Thursday, the 28th instant, for holding a county meeting at Bodmin, " for the purpose of taking into consideration the most effective means of insuring for this county and its most i,nportant interests, the most direct and available railway communication between Penzance, Falmouth, and Exeter."—Falmouth Packet. CONVICTS TO NORFOLK ISLAND.—The convict ship Mayda, now lying at Woolwich, will take out two hun dred male convicts from the Milbank Penitentiary to the above penal settlement. They have chiefly been convicted within the last twelve months, and have been removed from various parts of the kingdom. Many are sentenced for a long term of years, and several for life. IMPORTANT WATERSIDE IMPROVEMENTS.—AItera tions and improvements of a very extensive nature are now in progress at the steam-packet wharf of the St. Ka tharine's Dock Company, and the contracts, which have been taken by eminent builders, provide for the completion of the works in about six or weeks. The improvements which have been pis jetted by the active-minded secretary of the Dock Company, Sir John Hall, have been fixed upon, with a view to alle viate the numerous complaints that have been made from time to time of the want of better accommodation than has hitherto been provided in the port, for the examination and dispatch of the baggage of passengers on their arrival from the Continent, and such as have the entire concurrence and approval of the Com missioners of her Majesty's Customs. They are to con sist chiefly in the erection of a spacious floor the entire length of the wharf (about 120 feet), with suitable rooms for the accommodation 01 the passengers on laud ing. The intended buildings have been so judiciously planned as to obviate all necessity for passengers using the lower part of the wharf; which will be used as hitherto, in addition to the general business of the establishment, for landing the immense importations of cattle, poultry, &c., now carrying on in this great market daily from all parts of the Continent, and for which it affords the greetest conveniences. The new baggage floor will contain a counter nearly 150 feet in length, and will afford accommodation for s . x or tight landing waiters, if required, for the examination of pas sengers' luggage ; and from the interest which it is known the Hon. Commissioners of Customs take in this subject, it may be confidently expected that every proper facility will be afforded by these authcrities. T HE TWELFTH OF AUGUST.—The sporting sea son set in with tolerably fair prospects on Tuesday last. The sun was a little chary of his smiles, and the clouds hung heavily, showing signs of rain which were not cm' - ried into effect to any extent. The returns of killed and wounded, so far as our information extends, show con siderable havoc among the " winged denizens of the air."

Last evening, about twenty minutes before eight o'clock, a destructive conflagration, involving loss of property to the amount of nearly 20,0001., broke out in the premises of Messrs. Bradbury, Greatorex, and Beale, French, Scotch, and Manchester vrarehouvemen, of No. 6, Aldermanbury. The premises in question are considered as those almost the largest in that line of business in the city of London, extending in the rear from Aldermanbury to the western end of the Guildhall, and abutting on Dyers court, on the northern side of the church of St. Law rence Jess ry. The fire was first discovered by the porters employed by the firm to have broken out in the basement, or cellar, of the building, and although an immediate alarm was raised, so rapid, in consequence of the com bustible nature of the stock, were the flames, that be fore any assistance could arrive the whole of the lower portion of the premises were on fire, which speedily caught the warehouse on the grotind-floor, and extended to the upper rooms. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole of these extensive warehouses were in flames from the basement to the roof, and the light created thereby was visible in every part of London. The bridges were crowded with spectators ; an I Bow Church, the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, and the surrounding edifices were shown out in bold relief from the objects of lesser elevation more immediately surrounding them. The flames continued to increase, and from the lurid glare on the turrets of Guildhall shortly after eight o'clock, the greatest apprehensions were entertained that that ancient edifice was involved in the conflagration. So rapid was the progress of the fire, that the whole building was one mass of flames before an engine arrived, the first being that of St. Lawrence Jewry. This was speedily followed by the brigade from the Watling street and other stations, and also the County and the West of England. Notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen, under the orders of Superintendent Braidwood, the fire continued to progres, and at one time the whole of Alder manbury, Guildhall, and the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, were considered in imminent danger ; and, but for the extraordinary exertions of the firemen, they must have fallen a prey to the flames. A young man, named Diamond, was in the top floor at the time the alarm was given, and so rapid were the flames that he was forced to escape without his coat, whilst another, named Samuel, asserts that it was with no small degree of difficulty that those on the ground. floor were enabled to escape. Mr. Beale, one of the firm, had only arrived from Glasgow yesterday after noon, and upwards of 10,0001. worth of goods had been received during the day. The adjacent premises of Messrs. Stone and Com pany, grocers and tea dealers, No. 5, Aldermanbury, were seriously damaged by water and fire. The flames were got under by half-past nine o'clock, and it is be lieved that not only every vestige of property, but even the books of the .firm, are consumed. By half-past ten o'clock the fire was extinguished. It is believed that the premises and stock are valued at upwards of 50,0004 and that they are insured ; but, owing to the confusion, it is impossible at present to ascertain. [ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] One of the most extensive fires that has occurred in .he city for a considerable period broke out lait evening, between the hours of seven and eight, in the spacious range of premises,_ belonging to Messrs. Bradbury and Greatorex, Manchester warehousemen, situate at No. 6, Aldermanbury. The premises in question were five stories high, including the basement, and were bounded on every side by numerous similar buildings. The Guild hall flanked the premises on the east, Dyers-court, a large and tall row of warehouses, were on the north ; and Fountain-court, used as warehouses, intersected Aldermanbury on the south. The whole covered an area of ground of vast extent. The fire commenced in that part of Messrs. Bradbury's premises, termed the Scotch warehouse, filled with a costly assortment of goods. At that time a number of the workpeople were in the building, who endeavoured as well as they could to extinguish the flames ; in that however they were unsuccessful, for owing to the very combustible nature of the goods, the fire spread right and left with fearful rapidity. Seeing that it was impossible to subdue the conflagration without additional aid, an alarm was spread in the usual way, a messenger being dispatched to give intelligence at the engine stations. During the short time that was thus necessarily lost, the fire mounted most fearfull , seizing upon everything in the warehouse in which. • menced, and extending from thence to the u er fi• • , so that -bkthe period the engines from th nd Watling street stations could arrive, the grea f=po ion ofjhe betilding was enveloped in one brsheet of flainFlyhrushed out of the different floi:irrith a loud anefesienoise. The firemen exPitexi,ii&mselves to the utmost, to pre vent, if possible, the - fill es from extending beyond the premises in which they commenced. Their labours, however, were not quite successful ; in less than twenty minutes after the outbreak, every part of the spacious building was on fire, and when the roof fell in, the fiery fragments were scattered by the wind over the surround ing premises, setting in flames the adjoining house in Fountain-court, belonging to Messrs. Coster, James, and Co., warehousemen. At this conjuncture the flames rose to such an alarm ing height as to be distinctly visible from every part of London. _ _ By half past nine o'clock the fire was at its height ; at that time there were seven hundred square feet of solid flame ascending high into the air, and extending across the carriage-way of Aldermanbury, setting the windows and doors of the opposite houses in a gent ral blaze. In this extremity, Mr. Crookland, the fireman of the district, and Mr. Braidwood had the engines of the London establishment brought to the sides and back of the blazing premises, while Mr. Connerton had the branch of the West of England engine directed through the front windows and against the opposite windows. By strenuous and skilful exertions the firemen, to wards half-past ten o'clock, began to get the mastery over the flames, and in the course of another fifteen mi nutes they yielded completely to the great power of water that was cast upon them. It is hardly necessary to say, that by this period the whole of the spacious range of premises of Messrs. Brad bury and Co. wire reduced to a misshapen mass of ruins, the valuable stock in trade consumed, and the undermentioned premises more or less damaged:—Mr. Stone and Co., tea dealer', No. 5, Aldermanbury; Messrs. Coster, James, and Co., No. 4, Aldermanbury; Messrs. Oliver and Co., merchants, Nos. 7 and 8 in the same thoroughfare; Messrs. Chadwick, warehousemen, No. 4, Dyer's-court; Messrs. Allen and Tollys, whole sale milliners; and Messrs. Coster, James, and Co., in Fountain-court. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE MASTER OF THE ANDOVER UNION. ANDOVER, SATURDAY NIGHT.—This morning, at an early hour, much excitement was caused in the town of Andover, by the re-arrival of Mr. Parker, assistant commissioner of poor-law inquiry, who had been sent from London for the purpose of investigating certain charges of a serious character alleged against the master of the Andover Union, who, it was stated, had been the chief instrument in causing the poor under his charge to collect bones for crushing, upon which they had subsequently most ravenously fed, and he was also accused of peculation in the discharge of the duties of the office to which ho had been appointed. On the 4th of the present month a preliminary inquiry had takFn . place, and since the result had been reported to the chief commissioner it has been deemed necessary, in conse quence of what was then elicited, and from what has subsequently transpired, to continue the investigation. The previous examinatim of several persons, including a labourer in the employ of a farmer (one of the guardians of the Andover district), and of Dr. Westlake, the me dical officer of the union, to whom frequent complaints are said to have been made by the paupers of their not having received the necessary requisites ordered by him, but which have been charged, it is stated, in the master's report book, have been the real causes which have led t o this further inquiry. Pending this, however, the ratepayers dissatisfied at being excluded from hearing the facts of the case, have in considerable numbers addressed the assistant poor-law commissioner and board of guardians for leave to be present at the inquiry, so that they, in common with the press, might have the opportunity of hearing the facts of the case. Upwards f 250 signa tures were attached to this memorial, arid, upon the guardians having assembled, the Chairman, the Rev. C. Dodson, of Penton, near Andover, and a large body of guardians being present, the memorial was presented, when in answer to its prayer, it was decided, after a long deliberation, that the memorialists should have the opportunity of being present in a large room sufficiently capacious for the purpose of holding the whole body of ratepayers, on some future day, to be decided before the board broke up. The body of facts collected since the last meeting of the board with the commissioners was then gone into, and after a considerable conversation, and the testing of a variety of testimony, it was decided that the whole case should be gone into on Monday, the 24th of the present month. Mr. Etwall, M.P. for the town, was present, and several of th e mos t i n fluential men in the neighbourhood connected with the board of guardians were waiting to hear the result. ELOPEMENT.—Gn Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, the family of Mr. S. Leavend, of the Brompton road, were thrown into considerable alarm by the discovery that their eldest daughter, Miss Emma Leavend, had left her father's house clandestinely, taking her trinkets and a portion of wearing apparel with her. Immediate inquiry was insti tuted, when it was ascertained that the young lady bad been seen to enter a coach that morning, accompanied by a gentle• man, which immediately set off at a rapid rate towards town. In the course of the day Mr. Leavend received a communica tion from his daughter, entreating his forgiveness, and inform ing him that she had been united that morning. The young lady is possessed of considerable property, and the fortunate admirer is a member of the medical profession, in the neigh bourhood of Manchester-square. The Board of Admiralty have ordered the Surveyor of the Navy to construct two steam (paddle) vessels of 600 tons each, to run as packets among the lonian Islands.. It is at pre. sent supposed they will be built in one of the royal dockyards. United Service Gazette. POSITIVE" HOT," COMPARATIVE " lOTTER."—The Cincinnati Gazette, with a laudable emulation in the matter of hot weather, and desirous, doubtless, of standing upon equal terms with its contemporaries, makes considerable fuss about the heat experienced a few days since in that city, but it is evident from all we see in its paragraph, that the Gazette knows very little about the meaning of hot weather. It is quite clear that with all his flourishing attempts to put forth a hot article, the editor's knowledge of caloric i s deplorably deficient, and it is a suspicious circumstance that he does not (we presume dare not) say a word about the thermo. meter. If it was really warm in Cincinnati, vi by doesn't h e tell us how high the thermometer rose?—New York Paper. FEMALE PUGILISTS.—At Southwark Police-court, yesterday, two women were committed for fourteen days each, for fighting at Newington Causeway, and thereby disturbing the public peace. • • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—A Board of Admiralty, com prising the Right Hon. the Earl of Haddington,- First Lord; Vice-Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, Csp - ain the Hon. W. Gordon, and Captain Brandreth, Royal Engineers, Director of Engineering and Architeeterad Works, arrived this afternoon at fifteen minutes past twee o'clock, per the ordinary " fast" train of the South- Western Railway, on their annual visit of inspection to this dockyard and its dependencies. Their Lordships walked from the Gosport terminus along the new railway constructed for the use of htr Majesty into the Royal Clarence Yard, noting as they proceeded the progress of the work. At the Clarence yard their Lordships were received by the chief of that establishment, Captain John Carter, R.N., Superin tendent; Mr. John Town, Master Attendant; and T. T. Grant, F.R.S., Storekeeper. Lieutenant Triscott, Acting Flag Lieutenant to the commander-in-Chief, Sir ChaHea Rowley, Bart., G.C.8., G.C.H., was in attendance at the Clarence-stairs with Admiral Rowley's barge in readiness to embark their Lordships. At twenty-five minutes past two their Lordships entered the barge, and with the Admiralty flag in the bow proceeded across the harbour to the King's-stairs of the dockyard. No salute was fired froM the flag-ship, but on the Admiralty flag becoming visible in the harbour, the; platform battery fired the usual salute of nineteen guns. At the Dockyard their Lordships were received by Rear-Admiral Dacres, the new Commander-in-Chief on the Cape station, and Acting-Admiral Superintendent of this dockyard, Mr. William Purdo, Master Attendant, and the other officers of the establishment. The Ad miralty flag was immediately hoisted on the dockyard gates. Immediately after their Lordships landing they com menced " business," by inspecting the chain cable store, and thence the testing-house, accompanied by the Store keeper, Master-Shipwright, Store Receiver, and the officers of the various departments inspected. The Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, M.P., First Secre tary to the Admiralty, joined their Lordships on their arrival, having come round from London in the Black Eagle to attend upon the Board. Their Lordships dine this evening at the official resi• dunce of Admiral Sir Charles Rowley (who proceeds, on leave, to Brighton, for the benefit of his health, f the departure of their Lordships). The Echo steam-tug, with Mr. Charles Brown, As sistant Master-Attendant of this dockyard . on board, towed a mooring lump to Spithead this afternoon, to assist at the testing of the various anchors, which will take place during the visit of the Lords of the Admi ralty. The Carnatic, 72, was brought down from her moor ings this morning to be fitted and stored as an advance ship. 'I he Pluto steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Crozier, arrived to-day from Dublin, Bristol, and Devon port, with volunteers. The Black Eagle steam yacht, Master Commander Cook, arrived last even.eg from the river, to attend upon the Lords of the Admiralty, during their official visit. She went down to Cowes with Mr. Corry, and remained during the night, and came into this harbour this morning. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Pretyman, went out this morning to the eastward, tow ing the Mercury tender. The Hard, or pier for the use of her Majesty in land ing or embarking at Meade-under-Osborne, is nearly completed, as is the landing-pi .ce at the Trinity Wharf, East Cowes, recently presented to her Majes'y by the Trinity Board. The Scourge new steam sloop is being fitted as a bomb vessel. She is expected shortly to be commissioned. WOOLWICH, Atm. 18.—The Black Eagle steam vessel, Mr. S. B. Cook Master Commander, left Wooh ich on Saturday afternoon for Portsmouth, to attend the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty during their visit to the dockyards on the west coast. The Monkey steam-vessel, Mr. William Bryant Mas ter Commander, arrived on Saturday night at ten o'clock with the Pheenix in tow from Chatham. The Pl.mnix had the masts of the Grampus, 50 guns, on board, as they were too large for conveyance in the Monkey. Workmen have commenced taking off the roof of the dock containing the Grampus, and the masts will be put up immediately. When ready for sea, which sbe will be in about from two to three months, it is expected that she will proceed to the Cape of Good Hope station, for active service. It is worthy of remark, in connexion with her Ma jesty's voyage to Antwerp, that there was not the least restriction iu the habits of the crew, the men having been permitted to enjoy their cigars or pipes, as is usual at the dinner hour on board men-of-war. The indul gence of her Majesty on this occasion is spoken of in the highest terms of gratitude by all on board the royal yacht. DREADFUL ACCIDENT at BLACK- BURN. On Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock, the inhabi tants in the neighbourhood of Turner's-square were alarmed by a sudden crashing sound, followed by a still louder and heavier noise. On running in the direction of the uproar, a thick cloud of steam and dust hid from the eye the ruins and the mischief which had resulted from it, and for some minutes the persons in the imme diate vicinity were unable to discover the real source of alarm. The chimney of the cotton-mill belonging to the Throstlenest Company had fallen, burying in the ruins a number of children and women in the street below. A row of cottages ran parallel with the wall of the factory on that side, at a distance of only about ten yards. Several persons standing at their own doors had been in jured in a serious mariner. A mother seeing the chimney " topple" ran out, and had time to save her child, but, with a strange impulse, ran herself into the road, and was covered by the ruins. It appears the chimney, which was not so high as many now built, was injured by the vio lent hurricane at the beginning of 1839, when the top was blown off and its foundations cracked. If a strong s ini had blown the chimney over the adjoining cottages, a still more dreadful result would have toll wed ; as it is, the destruction has been confined to within twenty ) ards of the base of the chimney itself, breaking the whole of the walls round it, and destroying the whole support of the cold water cistern above the engine-house. The weight of the bricks, &c., broke into the boiler • house and destroyed the steam-pipes and the connecting machinery between the boiler and the engine. Immedi ately after the accident, Mr. Sheppard, the superin tendent of police, was upon the spot, and hundreds of persons rendered their assistance, under his direction, to remove the rubbish. Up to the present time five persons have been removed, all more or less seriously injured, and some children are yet missing. Most unfortunately a funeral procession was coming out of a house just above and the persons residing in the cottages close to the chimney were standing in the road or at their doors. Several medical men soon arrived, and directed their at tentions to the various sufferers. One woman, whose name we have not been able to learn, is suffering great agony, the collar-bone and thigh being broken, the hit ' ter in three places. There is a fracgire of the sternum also, and two upper ribs are separated from the bone, besides many other serious bruises. She will not sur vive many hours. Tier eldest child is also in a hopeless condition, having his skull fractured in a fatal manner. Persons are still busily employed in removing the ruins. THE ORGAN-BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. —The third annual general meeting of the members and friends of the above institution, established for the granticg annuities to decayed members and their widows, took place last evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, G. S. Bishop, Esq. in the chair. The report read and unani mously adopted, congratulated the meeting on the gene ral advancement and prosperity of the institution. When the funds were adequate to the granting annuities, 18s. per week would be allowed to males, instead of 125., as previously arranged, and to females 12s. instead of Bs. The receipts of the past year, including a previous ba lance, amounted to 1521.85. 7d., and the gross amount of stock to 4261. 14s. 11d., in which was included 451. 2s. 6(1., the produce of tvvo benefits. After the elecsion of officers fur the ensuing year, thanks were awarded to the Chair man, &c., and the meeting broke up. THE ASSIZES.—THE BAR.—There are about 120 barristers attending the present assizes. The number is above the average. Amongst the learned gentlemen we observe some new and some very young physiognomies. We should say at a guess that 80 out of the 120 will leave Liverpool as they came—briefless; the business, as usual, being confined to the 20 or 30 leaders and juniors whose names have for so many years appeared in the newspaper reports that they must by this time have become like " household words," familiar to the public ear at home and at a distance. It is clear, that, if the business should continue to be confined as it has been to the favoured few, the briefless, however gloomy the thought may be, must make up their minds to pay the expenses of going circuit, to listen in silence to the ‘• most sweet voices" of others, and to remain briefless to the end of their days. We regret this, for we presume that amongst such a multitude of counsellors there must not only be wisdom but talent, not only wit but eloquence, and we are anxious to see opportunities afforded for the developement of those valuable qualifications. Clients, however, must in general belong to the old Tory school that fancies every change made from the beaten track must produce a revolution, for they adhere rigidly to the old and experienced barrister, and they cannot be induced to trust their causes to the hands of the young and untried man ; and we confess, the cold comfort it may impart the briefless not withstanding, we see no likelihood at present of their acting otherwise.—Liverpool Albion. SHOCKING STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—Last night, about eight o'clock, as one of the Iron Steam Company's boats leaving o t a h t e t H o ut the e g e b r a f t r ) g r d e w F a l t t i h n r g o - u p g i e h r, , t h t e h e g rope n w e h g i l e i h g e f n a c s- e otef was d th l a t h v e e i Company's servants, neglected to be unloosed. The consequence was, the rope attached to the boat was forced loose with fearful violence,' and catching the legs of a boy who was sitting upon the coil of it, drew him. with dreadful violence against the bulwarks of the vessel, instantaneously wrenching his leg in two, the amputated part dropping into the river. Ills other leg wa, fractured in'two places, and he cow lies in Charieh , -cross Hospital in a very precarious slate. A THING THAT OUGHT TO BE KNOWN.—The bCCEIt tree is said to ho a Boil conductor of lightning. So notorious is the tact, that the Intliaes, whenever the sky wears the appearance o f a thunder-storm, leave their pursuits and take reluge under the nearest beech tree. In Tennessee the people consider it a complete protection. Dr. Becton, in a letter to Dr. Mitchell, star s that the beech tree is never known to be struck by atmospheric electricity, while other trees are often shattered in splinters. Muy not a knowledge of this afford protection to many when exposed ?—Amcricaa paper. A FEMALE STADBER.—At IVorship-street Police court, yesterday, a woman named Sarah Rogers was charge with cutting and wounding a female companion with whom sh ' had had a quarrel and fight the preceding night. The prisoner, who alleged in defence that the woman had abused her mother, I was remanded, as the injured woman was not well enough to appear to give evidence. 1 SHORTEST PASSAGE ACROSS TUE ATLANTIC.— The Royal mail steamer Cambria arrived at II:ston last evening, having made the pa-sage from Liverpool to Halifax in about nine days, and to Boston in eleven days and nine hours—the shortest passage on record.-- Boston paer. ____./.
