The Learned Coun. B elsubraitted that this statement alone excluded the insolvent f rop the benefit of an interim order. _ _ AIr.I3nNCLr. f..; the insolvent, contended that as the op ra sing creditor's debt had been incurred on bills discounted on rge interest of no less than 47 per cent., the insolvent was Dot responsible to the opposing crbditor. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that he eu'd not con sider the individual conduct of creditors, or whether the con du ct of one had assisted the prospects and backs d up assertions ancies of future fortune. The lending money. and assisting persona to keep up appearances, might do so very un- Intentionally. The Court, however, had not to look to the conduct r f creditors, but to that of d: btors. s lr. DUNC.AN said the opposing creditor was a bill broker, and insolvent had never misrepresented his expectations to him ; and he (the creditor) had no right to come in and claim for mo n . y advanced on such usurious interest. The Learned CostslissioNEß r aid that facts might arise so thot any person advancing money might meet with punish uiPsit ; but he must hear the cote. The insolvent was sworn, and said that up to 1842 1 e had lkten a merchant at Corfu, and since then a clerk in a mercan tile house, at a salary of 250/. a year ; and had on the dear h °I his father, on expectancies, had incurred the debt Ile, however, had only received 35' 1., but always expected more. 11Ir. DurscAN again submitted that a person corning into Court to oppose must come with clean hands, and not with proof of his having token 47 per cent. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that if people were to depend on expectancies, and their swearing to their belief, there would be no end to fraud. The insolvent was not justi fied in making such statements. Mr. DUNCAN said that the proof of the insolvent believing 'fortune was coming to him, was giving up his situation. The COMMISSIONER said it was a proaf of idleness. The COMMISSIONER dismissed the petition, with leave to ,PPly for a protectional order on the Bth of February. The insolvent will be confined in prison until that time. CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT. ) Charles Peden, a labourer, aged 30, was convicted of an un tatural offence upon a child of the age of niue years—and f Mr. Baron PLATT ordered sentence of death to be recorded -.against him. roan ERA'. William Coleman Balls, 55, a printer, was in -4 feted with feloniously forging a paper writing, purporting to 'Nat a receipt fur 301., to defraud John Randall and others. nallantine conducted the case for the prosecution, and 11 f. O'Brien defended the prisoner. Prom the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecu tion, and the evidence adduced, it appeared that the prisoner fdad been the Secretary of the " United Brothers' Binning aarn Provident Society" for five years, and that they deposited their funds with . the Finsbury Savings' Bank ; that the society held its. meetings at the City of London public-house, Sidney street, City-road, and the prisoner, as the secretary, kept and had access to all the books of the society, among which were ' the minute book and the depositors' book, both of which were required to be produced, at the Finsbury Savings' Bank, upon t he withdrawal of any portion of the funds of the society. It appeared that the prisoner according to the ease alleged on the Part of the prosecution, by the secretary of the society, applied to the Bank, and gave notice of the withdrawal of the amount stated i n the indictment, and that at the expiration of the botice, the money was received by the prisoner, he forging the ,41nes of the trustees to the receipt. The facts of the ease l 'ave.within the last few days been fully given. --Mr. O'BRIEN then addressed the jury on behalf of the 'Prisoner. ,The case, which is the last for trial at the present session , 'lad not concluded when we went to press. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS I)AY.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY AND RECOVERY ap THE PROYEREY.—John Clarke, a middle-aged Irishman, who described himself as a labourer, living in Church-street, : 4L Giles's, was charged on suspicion of stealing a rosewood ll'essing-case; containing jewellery of the value of 3001., from lite,hou,e of Sir John Campbell, of No. 39, Curzon-street, - It appeared that on Friday afternoon the butler of Sir John -.lrulibell arrived frem Leith at Blackwell, and hired an om bus convey the family luggage he had brought with him to vtirzon-street. On arriving there, and as the unloading of the ' : aanibus was being proceede with, the prisoner came up and 'gan to assist, and, as the butler supposed he was one of the ken belonging to the carriage, he was permitted to carry diffe lent packages into the al. Amongst the luggage was the !'ressing-case in question, h w l hich the butler had himself placed 1 ° the hall. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards it was tahsed, and the prisoner had also taken himself off. As he was Passing alorg Curzon-street with a package under his arm he R asmet by the housemaid, who knowing that he had been r esisting in unloading the luggage, tvled him where he was going to; he replied that he was sent with a message to Gt afton street, and paged on. Information of the robbery !Rs given at the station-house of the C divi m°n in Vine-street, Piccadilly, and between eight and nine Ib i clock yesterday evening Sergeants Driscoll and Miller, ap- Prehended the prisoner in the gallery of the Adeiphi Theatre. , ,CIII being informed of the nature of the charge against him, he oenicd know i o ng anything about it, or that he had been in Curzon - street, on the evening in question. The con stables qaVing also traced nut that the prisoner had taken a box to No. t Pipe-maker's-alley, Bedfotdbury, immediately proceeded ,s-there, and in the front room, on the second floor, the door of Ithich was opened by a key found on the prisoner, the dress -414-case was found, with the whole of the contents excepting a brooch and finger-ring, which the prisoner is supposed to have disposed of, to furnish himself with ready money. The landlady „af the house also identified him as b.,ing the person who brough! 14_e boa there ; he had but a few day s p reviouFl y hired the N'°o l na The lock of the dressing - case had been forced, and a 4 11 of a patent lock, which had been taken from the inside, 111 found on the prisoner . When taken into custod y he had & -41 . 4 Is. 6d. about him. a declined saying anything in his defense, and was re kalsded until Tuesday next. • ALLEGED MURDER AT ROTHERHITHE.—Yester -41 an adjourned inquest was held beforh Mr. C. Carter. It the New-cross Inn, Deptford, on the body of Ellen Tyrell, a ged - forty, whose death is supposed to have been occa , lifted by unfair means. A man, named White, is et present in custody on suspicion of being concerned in her death ; but, although the investigation lasted four hours, !ell , little additional' information was elicited tending to i nculpate the aecusA. The evidence was chiefly confined ts endeavouring to prove that he had no scratch or wound 0 0 the face on the Wednesday he was with the deceased. On this point, however, the evidence was very contradictory, and it "as very doubtful whether he might not have been asleep in the Yard of Styles for an hour, as he afterwards went to another Thee, and staid drinking for two or three hours on the bight in question. The most important fact was, that 1 . 1 , white bonnet had been found un der the arches of the railway, and was like one she had worn, and her 1 5 °n could no where be found , a lthou g h the canal gad been dragged. The bonnet had evidently been con cealed 120 yards away from the canal, and the Coroner was of Opinion that that was a material fact, and that an adjournment 'Might to take place fur its production. The foreman, how ever. thought no good would ensue, unless White could be ' traced to have been with the deceased later than he had ad . bitted. The Coroner said the public interest must not be herificed to save a little trouble. The Court was then cleared 1 4 strangers, and after about half an hour's deliberation the Inquiry was adjourned till Friday afternoon at three o'clock. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.—MANCHESTER, MON . b . —On Friday last a most extensive case of embezzlement °Ante to the knowledge of the police of this town. . It appears that a person named Isaac Andertoon was in the employ of Mr. I . J. Moller, a very extensive foreign merchant, carrying on business at No. 9, Marble-street, as clerk and salesman, and h ad, as far as could be seen, conducted himself to the satisfac tion of his employer. Mr. Moller carried on a very large busi -4c., as, and placed he utmost confidence in Andertoon. On Satur day week he asked leave of absence for a day or two to visit his trends at Clitheroe, which was readily granted. He left Manchester on that day, and has cot since been heard 'fs His absence created no suspicion until Wednes day. when on inquiry it was discovered that he had taken with him a very large sum of money and a Quantity of fu , tian goods. Imme d iate l y on t h is discover y being made, information was given to the police, and a thorough investigation instituted , and up to this time a defi ' cienev in money alone to upwards of 4,0001. has been dis ' fove r " e d, besides a large quantity of goods , tie value of which has not yet been ascertained. It is also believed that the de ' seien e y o f money known to have been embezzled falls far short sf th e total amount with which he has absconded. Yesterday • morning a placard was issued by the police off-Ting a reward t tif SOL for his apprehension , but up to thi s ti m e n o trace has seen obtained to his place of r etreat. It is thou g ht he sailed bythe Caledunia from Liverpool to the Uni t e d S t a tes on Tues -4Y last. He is described as being !° about forty-five or fifty /ears of age, five feet nine inche , high, proportionately made, and of ruddy complexion." It has been known to the police for some time that he frequented one of the gaming-houses of t his town, where such large sums of money are won and lost on horse-racing. It has also come to their knowledge that he has been 'hi; ping goods to America on his own account, and that . has done an extensive business for some time past. :I':4LORS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION --Yesterday t he half- of the supporters of the Institution for v ,:rly mee:ing t he relief ofe Freemason' Tay."'n ; •NI and infirm journe3men tailors ' was held et t Mr. Adroitly in the chair.

At the last anniversary ;tinner of the r esters, 799/. was added to the fund s, and at the j ourneymen's, 12 % Two of the pensioners had died since the last meetinu, but the health of the inmates of the asylum was generally good, and the con duct of all was characterised by order an d re g ularity. un the motion of Mr. Rolphe, seconded by Mr. Prior, the re tort was adopted, after which two additional pensioners were balloted for, and the meeting separated. SERIOUS CARRIAGE ACClDENT.—Yesterday after boon, between two and three o'clock, a serious accident occurred to Stephen Walker, a coachman in the service of ° Braithwaite, Esq., a gentleman residing in Sey mour-street, Pyanston-square. Walker had been desired to have the ,2arriage in readiness at three o'clock, and in driving through the yard where the horses are at livery, he incautiously n eglected to lower his head whilst passing under the gateway, and in consequence he was precipitated from the box with con siderable violence. Ile was immediately picked up in an in tensible state (the wheels of the carriage having gone o ver 1 m), and was conveyed without delay into the house of a aargeon, when it was ascertained that Walker had receive d a severe concussion of the brain, in addition to inward injuries 4 f an alarming description, which leaves but slight hopes of h is r ecovery. b ; ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON ILvrAv.— On Sunday there were nearly 2,000 visitors to ;:righton from the metropolis by the excursion trains. One of these trains arrived from London at nine o'clock, and after the Passengers had alighted, the engine came up for the purpose of ten:loving the carriages to make room for the next train. A 1. 21 3 e from the engine was affixed to the foremost carriage, and ▪ man named Robert Ridley, a porter in the Compary's em lt,.l°Y, seated himself on the but l ers of the carriage to remove he rope when necessary. While doing so, however, he either lost hi • s hold or was dragged by the rope on to the line, arid the of the carriages passed over one of his legs. He was ;72•Istedtately removed to the hospital, where he now lies in a r i sbarious state. TH--E POTATO CROP.—We ur derstand that in _several parts of this country a sort of blight has attacked the rot,.to crops, and in some instances completely destroyed whole " 14 of them in a few hours. The blight, it appears, first erects the le • avea, whence it proceeds to the stems, and finally - " o 'ne roots, rendering the tubers quite unfit for for, - ,d oi,ther for this or beast.

" - tcsts poor,—Devonport Independent, THE SUN, LONDON, TCESDAY EVENING, AUGUST i 6 1845. THE HARVEST. TO THE EDITOR ( F THE SUN. Sic,—As you did roe the honour of inserting a letter from me last week regardir g the harrest, I will, if you please, follow up my report by giving you a description of its present aspect. A grater part of th wheat is cut, and the result is far more than the farmer's anticipations. A most respectable and intel ligent individual, who Las about ICO acres of wheat, informed me that he s' ould have a great deal more than he had last year from the same number of acres ; and he added, '• My cousin, who farms about the same quantity, will have 300 sucks more than he had last y, ar." This fact, when taken into considera tion with the splenrid crop of last season, sufficiently proves what I have stated in my last lettcr, that this is one of the most bountiful harvests within the memory of man. —....._ A great deal of rain fell here on Tuesday, otherwise the weather has been beautiful and dry ; hca!thy breezes prevail, which is more congenial to corn than intense heat without air. I would just add one word, by way of information, as to a field of wheat I saw this season—and it is the eighth succes sive year, with one )ear excepted—on which wheat had been grown on the same ground ; the soil was not much deeper than the portfolio on which I am writing, and the crop was the fin. at I think I ever saw. It was the produce of " Daniel's patent manure," and grown by him on his estate at Wilisley, near Bath. An eminent agriculturist, one of the M.P.'s of this county, who was with me at the time, pronounced it to be " marvellous ;" and I think you will allow, aft.r this. I may again subscribe myself CORNUCOPIA. Wiltshire, August 25, 1845. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BOARD TIIE MOONLIGHT. Last evening, an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, the Coroner, at the St. Martin's public-house, Duke-street, Adelphi. on the body of James Purcell, aged 13, who met viith h s death from a frightful accident on board the Moonlight, on Monday evening last. Mr. James Coppock, solicitor, of Cleveland row, appeared, from motives of charity, on behalf of the parents of deceased; Air. Catteras on behalf of the Iron Steam-boat Company. Mr. Edward Richards, of 1, King-street, Cheapside, de posed that he was on board of the boat at the time of the accident When they arrived at Hungerford she was fastened to the Prince of Wales. After landing and taking in passengers, the boat was set in motion by the direction of the captain. The role, which had not been unfastened, caught the boy's leg, and cut off his foot, which fell into the river and sunk. INn orders were given to unfasten the rope before the captain gave the word to go a-head. There was no one on board the Prince of Wales to let go the rope. If there had, the accident would not have haKened. When a cry was raised, the boat was stop ed, but not before the boy's foot was tom off. Mr. J. harsh saw the deceased fall on the t'co k. Heard a cry of '• Stop her." Then saw that his foot had been torn cif at the ankle, and blood streaming from the maimed limb. The boat was not crowded, yet the lad sat in a coil of roles at the head of the boat. Alr. Walter Scott, secretary to the Harwich and Birming ham Junction, gave similar testimony. He sat about a yard from the dee( aced. He did not see the rope fastened to the Prince of Wales. When the captain gave the signal to go on, he saw the rope coil round the boy's leg. He and others called out to unfasten the rope. but there waa no one on the padele-boxes, or on board the Prince of Wales, who heeded the eq. A lady came, but she was afraid to touch the rope. as one of the crew were in the bows of the Moonlight at the time. A man came up when it was too late. If the boy bad been on the seat, the accident would probably not have hap pened. 'I he rope was a yard from the end of the sear. Alr. Catterns said it was the duty of the pierman to let go the rope when the went was given by the captain. Alr. Frederick Ntcolle, one of the surgeons at Charing-cross Hospital, proved the reception of the deceased shortly after the accident on Monday evening. On examination he found the left foot had been torn from its socket, and that his right thigh had heen fractured aed collapsed. The fle,h had sustained great injury. The fractured limb was amputated below the knee on Tuesday. On Wednesday there were signs of mortifi cation, and further amputation higher up the leg was had re course to. On Friday he found it had extended to the right thigh (the maimed limb being the left one). He gradually sank, and died that evening at eight o'clock. He was sensible up to the time of his death, at which time his parents were with him. He did not seem to suffer much pain. He attributed his death to the violent nature of the wound, and to the inflamma ble turn which it took. James Stewart, the pierman, was next examined. He could not say who fastened the rope to the Prince of Wales. It was his duty to do so, but there were so many boats there at the time, which rendered it quite impossible that he could attend to all He could not say whether the engines of the Moonlight were moving at the time of the accident or not. He let go the rope at the stern of the boat, cot that in the hews where the accident occurred, when the word was given. After much conversation, it was agreed to adjourn the in quiry until this day at seven o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STOURBRIDGE RACES—MONDAY.

Weatherbit— he might, with great propriety, be re-christened " Weather cock"—was again in favour. The outlay, it is true, was small, but the feeling was "undeniable," and he very nearly regained the premiership. Mir!' Sarah, however, was backed, on the whole, for a gond stake, and throughout the afternoon had an unequivocal call. The betting touched every horse in the market save Old England, and showed a marked disposition in favour of The Baron and Due au Durras.

SlR,—The past meeting at Yolk has done great credit to the inhabitants, and to every one engaged in the management of it. The Great Ebor Handicap, after the withdrawal of Lightning, The Shadow, and Vol au- Vent, was left entirely to the Infant and Coheiress, the latter winning cleverly. I saw nothing likely to beat Coheiress but the Infant, who ran very badly. The Great Yorkshire Stakes went to Miss Sarah in a canter. I did not expect to see her nearer than third, as, to my eye, she did not seem to be exactly in trim ; her running for the Oaks over such a trying course and finishing w‘ll, elevated her in my opinion ; if my readers remember, I advised them to keep an 'eye upon this animal after its running at Epson, which advice I can not do better than urge them to adopt, for it is very evident that the Doncaster St. Leger will not be won by Weatherbit, Kedger, or the Merry Monarch, who are as rood as boiled. Annandale, Pam, John Davis, the Lancashire Witch, Winchilsea, The Hermit, Plaudit, Cur de Lion, Old England, and Little John, are nearly in as bad a plight, as far as regards their chance of winning the great northern event. The only animals that are likely to cut a figure to some purpose are, Pantasa, Mentor, Midlothian, The Baron, Worthless, Miss Sarah, and Red Robin, dark blue and red cap, or yellow for the winning colour. Some sport, in a small way, will be found at Egham on Tuesday and Wednesday, which, of its kitid, will be first rate. On Tuesday the Gold Cup will go to Lord G. Ben tinck or Mr. ltamsbotharn, with John o' Gaunt or Pine apple. The New and Old Windsor Stakes are destined for Eh mi or the Mus colt. A5O sous. Match between Mr. Gre vine's Trump, and Mr. Whitehurst's Eleanor, will be won by the former. A Plate of 40 sous. is des tined for Sir S. Spry, with Subduer. The Runnymede Stakes to Velox. On Wednesday the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, with four acceptaaces, will have Pineapple, 5 yrs, 7st 91b, for winner; and the Devil-among-the-Tailors, 6 yrs, sst 101 b, second. The Amateur Stakes look well for Coal Black Rose or Karrac. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas will he won by one out of Kent's stable. The Egham Stakes ought to be won by the Devil to Pay. A S%%t epstakes of 25 sous. each will be won by Eleanor, Strike-a-Light second.—l am. Sir, yours, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Monday. [ADVERTISEMENT.] DIRECT LONDON AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—Mr. "Remington has replied to my letter. He is kind enough to say in the opening that if any exprt ssions condemnatory of the course when by me have been used by any parties, they have not been pub lished by him or with his privity or consent. I was compelled to vindicate myself against a charge as absurd as it is untrue. To repel a charge of stealing Mr. Remington's line, I was obliged to use arguments to show the absence of all inducement to do it, and fur that purpose I %%as obliged to show that Mr. Remington had asked the several sums of 2,3, 4, and 5 millions of money to make his line. That be had varied that line. That he had subsequently start( d a London and Man Chester, and York line, asking 7,000,000/. to make the two. That he might as well have charged the London and York Company with having stolen their line, as charge me with stealing a line to Manchester. Mr. Remington does not deny asking for the various sums amine) , which I have mentioned to accomplish the same line. _ _ Either his juigment was unsound, or he varied what he calls his line, as often tti, he asked diff,rknt sums. I have founded my statements on documents issued by himself. Mr. Remington says, I quote his own wards— "ln 1840 it was propo,ed to carry out the scheme alone between London and Manchester, for which I thought then, and think now, 4,000,0001. sufficient." If he thinks so now, how can he reconcile with that (Onion his prospectus, to which I rail- him in the orning Ile, al I of the 23d of May last, asking for 2,000,C001. only, in 40,000. shares of 50/. each. How does he reconcile with this his improved judg ment, asking 3,000,0001.? Or his sounder judgment, asking four ? With his present opini,n, that 4,000,000/. are enough, why does he ask 5,000,0001 ? I have publi:hed no names in support of the line to which T have been appointed ko.lipitor, but such as were given to mein or :subsequent to Jnne of this year. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. H.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty's ship Spartan, 26, Capt. the Hon. Charles Elliott, arrived at Spithead this morn ing from the North American and West Indian station. She was commissioned for the first time in August, 1641, at Ply mouth, and sailed again for that place this afternoon to be paid off. The Crocodile, 28, Captain :Maxwell, also arrived this morning. She is from the eastward, and is on her way to the Cove of Cork, where she will hoist the flag of Admiral Sir Hugh Pigot. It is not expected that she will sail before Tues day, as she has some repairs to undergo. One hundred and sixty seamen go in her to Cove for the service squadron under Admiral Hyde Parker. Lieutenants Fraser and Aslett, with a detachment of twenty-two privates of the Royal Marines, are in orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to join the battalion serving in Ireland ; the officers to relieve Lieutenants Ellis and Dunbar, who are ordered to return to their division for foreign service, and the men to fill up vacancies. It is sup posed that they will take a passage in the Crocodile. NUMEROUS SUDDEN DEATIIS.—On Saturday Mr. Baker hela no less than four inquests upon the bodies of per sons who had died suddenly. The first inquest was held at the King's Arms, Mile-end-road, on the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Newman, aged 45, the wife of Mr. J. Newman, surgeon, of No. 43, Beaumont•square. 'f he deceased had been in an ailing state for some months past, and on Friday last, shortly before eight o'clock, she was crossing her bedroom, when she fell on the floor in a fit of apoplexy. Mr. Story, surgeon, was called to her assistance, but she expired before his arrival. A second inquest was held at the Salisbury Arms, Eastfield street, Limehouse, on the body of Joseph Clocke, aged 32. The deceased was second mate of the barque Zealous, lying in the London Docks, and a few weeks since he broke a blood vessel on board the ship. On Friday mornir.g last he had been to St. Bartholemew's Hospital, and on his return home was seized with a violent vomiting of blood, which caused his death in a few minutes. A third inquest was held at the Hope, Goldsmith's-row, Hackney-road, on the body of George Simp son, aged three years. The deceased was lying asleep on some chairs on Friday forenoon last, and was shortly afterwards found lying on his face quite dead. A fourth inquest was held at the Birch Tree, Hoxtun New Town, on the body of Edward Norey, aged flits en months, who was found dead in bed, lying in its mother's arms, on Friday morning last. Verdicts were returned in each case of " Natural death." • CRAYFORD FAlR.—Yesterday this scene of rural amusement was held, according to annual custom, near the bridge, in the pleasant village of Crayford. The day was fine, and many parties from town and the parts adjacent, came to participate in the enjo)ment generally derived from a well conducted country fur. Most of the shows, as usual, displayed the wonders of nature and art. SING ULA R FACT —A somewhat novel incident occurred very recently at the terminus of the South-Western Railway, at Vauxhall. A carrier pigeon was seen in an ex hausted state ; it was caught by hand, but died shortly after wards. A label was appenued to one of its legs, addresssed to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, which stated that three pigeons were thrown up at the island of lehaboe, and bore date July, 1845. The distance is computed to be between two and three thousand miles from the place wherethe pigeon appears to have been liberated, to its destination in London. 'The bird, with its ap pendage, was immediately forwarded to Apsley House, and the Duke of Wellington, by an autograph note, the next day courteously acknowledged the receipt from the party who sent the bird. It has been stuffed, and in the process it has been discovered that the bird was shot, otherwise there can be no doubt it would have reached home, and it is supposed not to have had strength to cross the Thames. DEPTFORD REGATTA.—A match, possessing the novelty of the competitors being very aged men, or at any rate far more advanced in years than those who are generally to be found on the list of wagermen, came of on Monday at Deptford for a purse of sovereigns, given by the residents tf the vicinity. 'The contest was in five heats, with six pair of sculls, and was exceedingly attractive. The prize was gained by John Bear, aged fifty-four. THE NAUTILUS (STANGATE) OARS MATCH. — The gentlemen of this club rowed on Monday evening for a pair of gold oars, subscribed for by the members. The distance was from Battersea to Hammeramith-bridge, and four boats started. Messrs. Dyett and Ford were the winners. CRICKET.—SEVEN GENTLEMEN OF NOTTINGHAM WITH FOUR PLAYERS V. ELEVEN PLAYERS Or NOITING HANI.—This match, and an excellent and exciting one it always is, was played last week upon Clark's Trent-bridge Ground. It had been arranged that it should be a match of one innings. The ground was well and fashionably attended. Amongst the eompany we saw Sir J. Clifton and family, Parry, Esq., J. Masters, Esq., E. Balguy, Esq., P. Wil liams, Esq., and family ; Mrs. Westcourt and party ; the Of ficers of the sth Dragoon, &c. Slow bowling has in this case gained another victory, for Clark carried tff nine wickets, not withstanding those against whom he bowled are in the constant habit of standing before him. Gentlemen, 111 ; the Players, 125. - - • THE RIVERS. — The quiet pastime of angling has, since the 12th, been mostly relinquished for the more vigorous exercise of the hills and forests. Such as preferred the rod to the gun have, however, had excellent sport. Lord Emlyn and friends landed twenty-five salmon from the Findhorn in four days. 111 r. Bonham Carter killed four in one afternoon at Bonar Bridge, and at the same place Mr. Broadwood got three. In the river Conon the fishing may now be said to be nearly at an end. Very few have been got since our last notice. The rod fishing in the Tweed in the neighbourhood has been pretty good for two or three days past. Sir Charles Dalbiac, Sir Richard Sutton, and some other gentlemen, have had good sport.—Ross-shire Advertiser. Will am Snow Harris, Esq., F.R.S., of Plymouth, has been presented w ills an elegant vase by his Imperial Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia, as a mark of respect for Mr. Harris's known researches in electricity, and the practical ap plication of them in protecting the British navy from the effects of lightning, to which his Maj,sty was led to direct his atten tion on hoard the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht.— Deronport Telegraph. On Wednesday last Lieutenant Finemore, R. N., of the coast guard station at Ncrthshore, made a seizure on the Sand Hills, near Sandwich, of one hundred and eleven bales of unmanufactured tobacco and eleven bales of snuff, weighing about three tons, supposed to have been landed out of the barge Friends from Dunkirk, which is now under detention awaiting the decision of the Hon. Board of Customs. The goods were taken to the Queen's warehouse.—Canterbury Journal. '1 he buildings for prisoners of war, at Dartmore, are ordered to be bold.— United Serrice Gazette.

The amount of traffic for tie last wet k, on nearly 1,800 miles of railway, was 166,251/., of which 80,873/. was received for the conveyance of passengers, and 22,0601. for the carriage of goods: being an increase over the corresponding week of last year of 17,5081. ELECTRICAL RAILWAY TRAIN INDICATOR.—At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris, M. Dujardin, the inventor of an electrical telegraph, submitted a plan for rendering this invention valuable as a means for indi cating the precise position of a railway train upon different arts of the line. He proposes that as a locomotive passes by certain places it shall touch a spring in connexion with the wire, and thus communicate with the index of the station by certain signs previously agreed on. InE ltan.ways.—We have pleasure in stating t h at a ver y active corps of engineers are busily engaged ir taking the sections of the Welsh Midlard Railway in this neigh bourhood. The sections of the Biecen and Merthyr Junction Railway are completed; and we understand that the surveys of both lines will be forthwith commenced.— Silurian. IRON TRADE IN SCOTLAND.—The demand for pigs this wet"; has been active, and 70s. per ton has been readily obtained; but sellers are not disposed to enter into large tran sactions at this rate. Bars have advanced 10s. per ton, and are in demand at W. Plates, 121. 10s,-- Glasgow Citizen.

A WONDERFUL KITTEN.—A cat, belonging to John Molony, Esq., of Ross Carbery, a few days ago produced at one birth six young kittens, five of which are alive and doing well ; the sixth came dead, which, on examining, was found to have two tails, four feet, four hind legs, with two separate bodies, regularly joined from the breast and shoulders, containing each its due viscera, with two hind legs and tail, to each body. The fore feet, two of which era natgrally placed under the breast, in a direct line with the mouth ; head regu6rly formed ; the other two placed over the shoulders (or at least whets thy should pot ), in a direct line with the back of the neck and head ; the sides of each phdovisen, taking irs course directly central between eardi of the fee Ice, the bodes being male and female. This little animal is now preserved fgr inspeetiep at Mr. Clarke's medical establishment, Ross Carbery, county Cot L i ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION of OYSTIRS.— A letter . I from M.

COBURG,. Au° 21.—At leii:ftk after more than ten days of almost incessant travelli&htie Queen and her Consort are resting in comparative quietude in the residenCeathe Prince's ancestors.. Her Majesty, it is said, slept last night in tire very room in which Prince Albert was born. The journey from Wurzburg'here, eacCp . t that the - weather was not quite propitious, was not the least.interesting part cf the whole tour. There was much chit was nets in the scenery, the little incidents of the journey, and the picturesque cottutues of the people. Bamberg, through whch_the route lay, was full of the inhabi ants of the surrounding country, who gave the Qu. en a hearty reception during the few minutes she re main: din the town. The distance from Bamberg to Coburg is about twenty-eightiniles, through a fertile and populous country. After passing Zapfendorf, the road runs along the bank of the Main—a river presenting, at some points, sceLery scarcely inferior to that on the Rhine—and passes Staffe:berg, a hill of remaikabie form and commanding aspect. On the other side of the road ri,es a height, on which stands the palace cf Prince Maximilian of Bavaria, which was formerly the convent of Bina. Passing Licistenfels, a town of sonic importance, the frontier of havaiia and the Duchy of Saxe Cohourg is soon reached. Here the royal party were met by the King:and Queen of the Belgians, who had preceded them to Coburg, and now returned thither with them. There was a pretty triumphal arch at the boundary, and the cortege, as it passed on towards Coburg, preceded by the postilions (in their gay and charac teristic blue dres and with plumes of white feathers in their hats), looked picturesque enough, and certainly quite different from anything of the kind we see in England. Carriages belonging to Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg and other mem bers of the family also swelled the procession, which was assisted by a large body of huntsmen of the House of Coburg, dressetl'in their uniform of green and gold, and with their carbines slung over their shoulders. , The reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg was also at the frontier to receive his brother and sister-in-law, and he rode by the side of the royal carriage, the King and Queen of the Begi:ns being within. 'I he whole.reception at Coburg was the prettiest thing irna ginabl.... At the entrance to the town the , burgomaster and town-councillors wete stationed to receive the royal party ; and from this point throughout the city the eye saw but one long festOon. At the boundary a splendid triumphal arch stretched across the road, from which hung flags, and every house in the long line of street through which the royal cortege passed was gaily decorated with garlands, festoons, flags, and flowers. Better and prettier still to see were the smiling faces of the inhabitants, lining the streets, and clus tering in all the windows. The great buildings of the city were also profusely ornamented. The town-house and the palace of the Prince of Furstenberg were especially decorated with garlands, festoons, and flags. Arrived at the palace of the Dake, a' fine building in the modern Gothic style, forming three sides of an immense quad rangle, and with a turreted entrance, the royal party alighted and partook of a slight refreshment. A guard of yens d'arnses were drawn up here. After a short delay the royal party left the palace (it is the town residence of the Duke), and proceeded to the summer palace, Rosenau, situate about four miles from Coburg. The road to this place runs through a tale, in which are crowded in picturesque variety all the most churning features of English rural scenery. A little further on and an avenue of trees, perhaps two miles long, leads up to the palace, through a country which has all the charm and beauty, all the richness and massiveness of forest and verdure, that you see in an English nobleman's park, without that exclusiveness which in our country is a check upon all enjoyment. You cannot see where the public road ends, and here the domain of the Prince begins, so entirely open is the place to all comers. Rosenau itself is the beau-ideal of a summer-residence. Although built on a princely scale, it looks like an enormous cottage ornCe, embowered in trees and flowers. The name, Rosenau, " the meadow of roses," aptly describes the lovely valley from which the palace :rises. The views . commanded from the windows are of the finest kind. A landscape of more than English softness and rich luxuriance—meadow, woodland, and stream—is spread at the foot, while all around, as far as the eye can reach, mountains of Highland grandeur, clothed to their summits with fir or with rich woods, inclose it and develope its beauties by a noble contrast. In the distance, at the extremity of the valley, lies Coburg itself. After the natural beauties of the place, the next peculiarity that strikes an English mind is the utter absence of all cere monial and exclusiveness. There is none of that sulky solitary grandeur, with which English noblemen and prances are so prone to surround themselves. There is not a gate or a sen tinel in the whole place ; but the country people (and happy comfortable people they seem) come and go, and look about them as they please, under the very windows of the palace, with no other restraint upon them than their own sense of self respect, and those habits of decorum which characterise the Germans. Not more than four miles from Rosenau, and nearer Coburg, there is another summer residence, the palace of Prince Ernest of Wurtemburg, from which a very fine view it obtained of the vale in which Coburg is situate, the spire of the Church of St. Maurice rising boldly from the centre of the city. On the opposite heights is the fortress of Coburg, which her Majesty went last evening to visit, driving over from Rottman for the purpose. _ As to Cirburg itself, the notion entertained of it in England is one of the most absurd and outré in John Bull's bundle of prejudices. That its situation is picturesque will have been gathered from what has already been said. But the city itself is much larger and of much more importance than is generally supposed. The palace of the king is a noble structure, and the great buildings of the town are very little inferior to any,ef the same recent erection in the chief towns in Germany. These are comparatively modern, but the town itself is much more ancient. The streets, however, are wider than in most of the older towns in Germany. The houses are for the most part white ; and, above all, they seem remarkably clean. The market place is a fine large area, very similar to the great square at Bonn, and there are some magnificently quaint old houses in it. The theatre, also, is a flue building'; and the suburbs of the city, in which there are villas in abundance, are of remarkable beauty, combining a very rural air with much elegance. But what is, after all, much more interesting to the stranger, and more surprising to the Englishman, than the merely physical aspect of Coburg, is the wea lth an d comfort it displays. The residences of the better classes are dis tinguished by much elegance ; and there is no poverty or squalor, but, on the contrary, much ap pearance of substantial comfort in those of ,the lower. Of course Coburg cannot compete in size with the capital towns of larger states; it is, In fact, a sort of miniature city, in which everything is perfect, ahhough on a somewhat small scale ; but in the possession of all those features which are desirable for the happiness of the people it seems unique. It has its historical associations too. Wallenstein besieged it in vain in the thirty years' war, and it boasts of being able to show the room where Luther slept while in concealment here, and the:pulpit from which he preached. In the theatre operas and German plays alternate. It. is under the direction of the Grand Duke, and it bears a high character for musical and dramatic excellence. Her Majesty and the rest of the royal party now here went there last night. The opera was the Huguenots, and the theatre was densely filled. - The population of Coburg is about 10,000. That of Gotha, which is about seventy-five miles from here, is 14,000. When her Majesty arrived at Cob urg th e w h o l e population turned out to meet her. There were dense masses all along the road between the frontiers and the town. Not only these were there, but also the people of the surroundi ng country, in a circuit of many miles, came in crowds into Coburg. Some came as much as twenty German miles, and some from Leipsic. It was stated that there would be at Cobnrg a grand re-union of royal personages—that not fewer than fifteen crowned heads would here meet Queen Victoria. At present, besides the members of the Ducal house of Saxe Cobarg, there are only the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Kent. and the Prince of Leiningen, the half. brother of her Majesty Queen Victoria. The Palace of Rosenau is occupied by the Queen and Prince Albert. The ether royal personages, with their re spective suites, stay at the town Palace of the Duke. Her Majesty has since her arrival rested after the fatigues of her incessant travelling. Beyond an occasional drive out is the neighbourhood, and through the town of Coburg, there has been no movement of the Court. 'MANCHESTER SHALE MARKET. The following is an interesting communication from Messrs. Railton, of Manchester, respecting the share mat ket : "During the present week the share business in Man chester has been conducted in a more sensiLle and rational manner than heretofore, by its separation from that impe tuous, pushing wildness noticed in our last. Railwal schemers, ho wever , a l wa y s on th e a l er t f or new " gee -'," quarter themselves, like tape-worm 'hilts, to engender lengthened t i ;ease, and thus they now blazon their tinsel pretensions through the southern publications, in juxtapo sition with the firmly-established brilliancy of the. fame of a well-known railway director, while they tacitly hint to the inhabitants of those distant localities, that they should follow the example of the inhabitants of Manchester, who have, it is stated, heaped, with, no doubt, grateful admiration, six teen hundred guineas worth of plate upon the head of another scion of the intuitive wonder-working genus of railway perfection. Whilst this is taking place in the south, we be hold in the north persons already weighed down with rail road premiums, inviting their friends and favourites to par take of the good things connected with provisional direc torship, of which themselves are already full to repletion. This kindness and consideration gives the eckit of a better and more attractive variety of names tlin repeating the same set too often. 'Golden returns without personal trouble, beyond opening your purse-strings for the first fruits,' might be their cry—reckless of the deluded sufferers that must bring up the rear. It is pretty well-known how sharply and extensively the share markets have, of late, been haunted by the ghosts of scrip, and the fearful hob goblins are not yet laid. Railroad proceedings, in their most desirable form for public utility and sound attraction for the outlay of capital, should take their origin and be cat ried for ward by those most interested in the neighbourhoods in which they will run; and not by windy busy-bodies, whose leading object is to carry off the easy sweets, and cast the sours behind, upon the most extensive scale; and the sooner such itinerants are shouldered back to their own localities, the better will their earlier habitual vocations flourish, and all other interests be more likely to harmonise in that good' and honourable fellowship now so much required." SOUTHWARK ELECTION. lIEEIING OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTIVS FRIENDS. A meeting of the supporters of Sir William Molesworth was held last evening, at seven o'clock, at the Bricklayers' Arms, Old Kent-road, to hear an address from that gentleman in exposition of his political principles, and to take measures to secure his return to Parliament. 111 r, John Donkin was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN made a few observations relative to the business of the meeting, after which he introduced Sir William Molesworth. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH on rising to address the meet ing was received with gieat cheering. He addressed him self first to the circumstances which had led to his being brought forward as a candidate for the representation. On being applied to, he asked the question, was it probable that the Liberal interest would unite in him ? The answer was, that after the merits of several candidates had been fully can• vassed at several meetirgs of the electors, they had selected him in preference. He then at once consented to come for ward.—(Cheers.) Since then the Maynooth question had arisen, on which much irritable feeling had been excited. He was sorry, however, to say, that many had not seen the political necessity of that measure, and that the seise of justice to Ire land had not led to a more liberal construction of that grant. It was, however, no wish of his to blink this question, and he would at once say, had he been in Parliament, he should have supported that grant as an educational measure, and as a measure of state policy.—(Cheers.) He was gene rally opposed to grants of public money for ecclesiastical pur poses ; but, under the peculiar circumstances of Ireland, he thought it was wise to allow that grant. It was a contract entered into at the time of the Union, that a sum of money should be applied for the support of an institution to educate the Roman Catholic priesthood. The grant was to prevent the priesthood of that country from going :abroad to be NW - cried, and there acquiring principles obnoxious to the Go vernment at home. The Hon. Baronet here went into de tails on this subject in terms precisely similar to those we have given in former reports. He regretted his views had not given satisfaction to some parties in the borough, who had gone so far as to prefer the return of a Tory to a 'Whig-Radical, as he had been called. Himself and friend', however, did not participate in those feelings, for he could much rather prefer the return of Mr. Miall than that nondescript po litician, without principles and without opinions, Mr. Pitcher. If any means could be adopted by which the sen-e of the Libe ral interest could be taken as to which candidate was most ac ceptable to it, he should be glad; and he could pledge himself to abide by any arrangement that might be come to, to as to prevent any division in the borough, and the return of a Tory. l'he Hon Baronet then went into a general statement of his political views on the corn-laws and free trade, the suffrage, triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, in effect, similar to what we have previously given ; and concluded by expressing himself willing to answer any question.—(Cheers.) An ELECTOR asked if he was willing to allow the colonies to send representatives to Parliament? Sir Was. Alotsswormt answered, that considering the im mense distance of many of our colonies, Le would not pledge himself to support them sending Members here, but he would advocate their having the freest possible Government at home. This would be much better than to give them a mere factitious representation by sending members here from the antipodes. Mr. SMITH said that he considered Sir Wm. Molesworth a renegade, as be had formerly supported universal suffrage. Sir WI Moutswoitut denied this. He had never sup ported universal suffrage. Even at Leeds, where there were more Chartists than in this borough, be had never yielded to that cry to gain their support. He was favourable to the fullest extension of the suffrage as education and intelligence advanced. . Mr. BaRTON moved . a resolution to the effect, that after hearing Sir W. Molesworth in explanation of his political principles, the meeting considered him eminently qualified to represent the borough in Parliament. Captain flAwitsrics seconded the motion. On the Chairman rising to put the resolution, a person, who gave his name as John Smith, rose to move an amendment. Objection was taken to his speaking, as not being an elector. On the question being put direct to him, he declared that he was one, when he was allowed to proceed. The amendment being seconded was put, and negatived, and the original resolution carried by a large majority. The meeting, after a vote of thanks had been tendered to the Chairman, separated. MEETING OF THE ANTI-STATE CHURCH ASSOCIATION. A public meeting of the members and friends of this Society was held last evening, at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark. As it was understood from an intimation in the advertisement calling the meeting together, that the business would have re lation to the pending election, a considerable number of persons attended. Mr. APSLEY PELLATT took the chair, and briefly explained that the Committee of the Association had availed themselves of the present critical state of the borough to vindicate and maintain the principles which it was their especial object to advance. The Rev. Pr. Cox rose to propose the first resolution, which embraced a vindication of the voluntary principle, on which the British Anti State Church Association was founded. He referred to the objections raised against clergymen in terfering in political affairs, and defended such interference on the ground that the ecclesiastical institutions of this country were essentially pelttical. The Established Church was a political church, founded on the parchments of Parliament—( Hear)—and if they wanted clergymen not.to be political, it was easy to effect that object by separating the Church from the State.—(Cheers.) To effect the latter object let them send right men to Parliament, not men who would go to sleep on the benches, and vote when they woke at the beck of the Minister—not men who were willing to swear anything they were asked, and when they got into Parliament entirely forgot their constituents and their oaths—not men such as these, but men who knew their principles, and were determined to maintain them.—(Cheers.) Now, he had a friend who had started as a candidate for a borough, not very far from that—( Laughter and cheers)—and he knew him to be right-minded, sound-hearted, truly talented, and above all truly pious, and determined to carry out his principles.—(Cheers.) This was net the case with every pretender in these days. —( Great cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by calling on the meeting to affirm the resolution. JOSIAH CONDER, Esq., seconded the resolution. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried with a fvw dissentients. The Rev. JOHN BURNETT proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the recent discussions in Parliament, on the Maynooth grant, showed that from the views prevalent amongst the two great parties of the State, religious liberty in this country was in imminent peril; and that it was therefore incum bent on Protestant Dissenters to return men to the house of , Commons who knew their principles and were willing and able to maintain them in the Legislature. The Rev. WM. Foszea seconded the resolution, which was carried with the same degree of unanimity as characterised the former ono. Dr. PRICE proposed the third resolution, pledging the meeting to give its cordial support to Mr. Miall at the ap proaching election ; which, having been seconded by the Rev. G. HOSE, was carried in the affirmative. Thanks were then voted to the CHAIRMAN. and the meeting • separated. PLYMOUTH FORTIFICATIONS.—Government com menced the fornication of Staddon Heights on Monday. The improvements in the fortifications of Alaker Heights, on the opposite side of the Sound, and of Drake's Island, have been progressing for some time. 13lockhouse Fort, at the entrance to Portsmouth harbour, is in course of partial reconstructed to form a double-bnaked bat tery. The upper works have been entirely demolished, and a platform for a tier of 32-pounders is rapidly progressing in formation. The lower tier, formerly comprising 32-pounders only, will consist of 62-pounders, forming a battery of thirty two heavy guns, commanding the entrance and approaches to the harbour, and crossing fire ssith Southsea Castle. This fort has further been mounted with several long 18 and 32- pounder pivot guns, and, when complete, will be one of the best fortified positions on the coast.— Naval and Military Gazette. • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PECK II AM.—Last night, about nine o'clock, the inhabitants of High -street, Peekham were alarmed by an outbreak of fire in the stables of Mr. Walton. Not a moment was lost by the inhabitants in rendering every a , sistance to stay the progress of the flames, and messengers were dispatched to London for engines, when that from the Chandos-street station of the London Establishment, as well as several others, with a strong body of firemen, were in at tendance. The water was abundantly supplied, and the utmost exertions ve;e used, but unfortunately the ts hole range of stabl,;ng, Ste., was destroyed. The cause of the fire was not ascertained. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred wire taken in a pony carriage to New port, on Friday afternoon. The Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, walked on the sea-beech on Saturday morning, and in the afternoon the two Princesses were taken a carriage drive to Wootton. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred rode on ponies in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne House. Ott Sunday morning the juvenile Royal Family were all taken on the beach. The Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, rode on ponies in the pleasure-grounds in the afternoon. Lord Stanley left town yesterday fur Knowsley Eall, Lancashire. Dispatches were rece ivied yesterday at the Colonial utlice from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. Dispatches fur the Governor of Hong Kong were sent otr last evening from the Culonial-oftic‘.. LYCEUM. By 1:o.yal Command, Enquire Irdhin, such are the taking titles of two new pieces which were produced here last evening with great and deserved success. The heroine oF By Pool Command is Gabe (Mrs. Keelej) a turkey feeder in an Austrian village, in the neighbour hood of Vienna. She is beloved by Herman, (Mr. Emery) a forester, and Count Neuborg (F. Vining) is also anxious to get into her good graces. He passes him self off as the Emperor, and desires a private interview. Anxious to secure for Herman the post of fores ter, she consents to meet the sham Emperor in the hunting pavilion, but having procured the office of forester for Herman she proves herself, to use her own words, a tigress of virtue, and, es caping from Neuborg, pressnts the appo i ntment to Herman. He rejects the appointment, and vows vengeance against the Emperor, who has, as he imagines, wronged him. Gotl.ti also seeks the Em peror (Did& ar), and demands that he shall testify to her fidelity to Herman. Introduced to the Emperor she discovers that she has been deceived, and denounces Neuborg as the deceiver. The Emperor commands Neu borg to marry . her, a n d H erman having rejected her she prepares for her nuptials with the Count. Berman, howt , . ver, who has i ntro d uce d hi mse lf i nto t h e h unt i ng ni pavon di‘guise, fur the purpose of assasinating the destroyer of his peace, becomes convinced of her innocence, and eventually weds her, By Royal Command. The piece is well written, and well put cn the stage, and, Owing to the admirable acting of Mrs. Keeley, it never flagged. Sh e was ca ll e d for at the fall of the curtain, and applauded enthusiastically ; and, for some weeks to come, tie performance s at the Lyceum will commence B y Royal Command. Enquire 'th in is a broad farce—a regular screamer. T he hero, Antoninus Dodge (Mr. Meadows), • an English tailor, who has domiciled himself i n Pari▪ sas a concierge, and who, "as a pr?fitable , s , peculation, deter mines to develop family discord' 7 --and he does de velop it in such a manner that it . i becomes more profitable than even " stagging. His secret is but why should we make public the seers t of Mr. Dodge. Ile is to be found every evening, at nine o'clock, at the Lyceum ; and let all those who wish to know his secret (and a most entertaining secret it is) call there at that hour and Enquire Main. BRITISH ARCIIXOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. The second section of the Archieological Association will hold their meeting at Winchester in the week commencing Monday, September 8, under the presidency of the Marquis of Not th ampton. A numerous meeting Gf the local committee was held on Fr:day, at the Town.hall, for the purpose of making the final arrangements. In point of numbers the attenda.wie at the next meeting will, it is anticipated, be uliieh greater than the last. TH EXPLOSION AT JARROW COLLIERY. - - - JARROW. SUNDAY NIGHT. —The excitement prevailing • here to-day has been greater than st any previous period since the explosion. The bodies of about of the sufferers were this afternoon consigned to the grave in Jarrow churchyard, the funeral being witnessed by upwards of 3,000 spectators, many of whom had come from a considerable distance. The bodies were placed in decent coffins, which were waiting to receive them when brought to the surface, and were conveyed to the churchyard in carts belongiog to the colliery. Some s.f the surviving relatives of .each joined in the melancholy proces sion, and, as usual in the coiliery districts of the north of Eng. land, the Old Hundredth Psalm was sung on the way to the burial-ground. The scene was exceedingly solemn. Unremitting exertions have been made by relays of mat from the various collieries in the district, directed by many of the principal viewers, who relieved each other at intervals, to penetrate the workings of the mine in quest of the bodies of the sufferers.' 16 had been recovered last night, and 15 others were found to-day, all sadly mutilated by the explo sion. Indeed, -mar y were so much disfigured that impossible to identity them. One b•ely, thought to Le the George Cram, fodnd - yesterday, was to day diseevered to that of Themes Love, Cram having been found this afternoon Love, who had been conveyed to Crem's house, was oe , ordingly removed to his own, and Cram placed upon the vacant couch. Lt several eases the surviving friends have had to mourn over a heap of mutilated remains, without even the me laneholy faction of knowieg with certainty they were those id their de ceased relatives. There are vet four bodies in the bowels of the earth. One, that of a boy, is ~upplseti to be under that of a horse, whici he was employed in attending, and whicia is still 041411 buried in the rubbish blown down from the roof a.-:d sides, so as nearly to block up the way. Th 4 thr4.e other bodes ire 'suppoted to be further in; but it is hoped that ail wid ha got at be!ore the morning. The damage done to the mint is very great, and the roof hai falh n in v.veral }.laces, so au' the workmen have to clear the way anti repkee the '• stoppings and brattices" as they advance, to carry the air 'with them. There have been 33 lives lost by this explosion, 34 in the Low main, and 4 in the Bensham seam, including Dehy the overman. William Cranston, the only survivor of those at work in the Low main, and whose miraculous e cape, after being upwards . of 3t hours in the fetid atmosphere, was de scribed .in a former communication, still remains in a very precarious state. The bleeding last night ha, had a salutary effect, and he has been sensible at intervals during the day. _When tke funeral procession way passing his door, he heard the singing. and was much excited ; but his excitement was somewhat allayed on his being told it was a prayer meeting, he being entirely unconscious of the real state of matters. He has never once referred to the accident, and, of course, it would be imprudent to mention it to him under present cir cumstances. John Adams, who was in the Bensham seam, has been worse to-day than yesterday, having had a slight relapse. Ile is not. however, considered in immediate danger, and hopes are eater. tained of his recovery. Several of those taken front the Bensham seam are still suffering severely from the effect of the choke-damp, though none are in imminent danger. The inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers will be resumed to-morrow morning. FIGHTING A DUEL.— Napoleon, when he was told that a cannon ball had killed a sailor who had hid himself in a coil of rope in the hold of a man-of-war, observed, " A man can never avoid his fate . ;" a fact well illustrated by the follow ing circumstance :—An Englishman, "brave as Julius Caesar," challenged a Frenchman to mortal combat. Knowing John Mull to be a dead shot, the Frenchman, being the challenged party, and having the choice of place, time, and weapons, se lected night, a large dark apartment, and pistols. The seconds were to remain outside and give the wont, after which each was to fire when ,he pleased. " Fire !" cried the seconds. when the combatants had been locked in, and declared them selves "ready." But no sound was heard. Johnny Bull Could find no mark for an aim ; and his adversary hearing him groping - about the room fired at random. John was safe enough now ; and after searching every corner of the room in vain for any indidieation of the whereabouts of his antagonist, at length exclaimed,—'• Come, I'm tired of this fun ; besides, I'm satisfied ;" and he accordingly groped h.s way to the fire place, and fired up the mouth of the chimney. There was a shriek, and a yell, and down came the Frenchman, dead as a door nail ! —Antes icon paper. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO COL. LASCELLES or THE GRENADIER GUARDS.—Yestertlay afternoon, between two and three o'clock, an accident, attended with serious coupe. tjuences, occurred in South-street, Grosvenor-square, to Col. Lascelles of the Grenadier Guards, and a cousin of the Earl of Harewood. The unfortunate gentleman, who is of a very corpulent habit, was riding a spirited horse, wh.-n in turning the corner of Park-street the animal stumbled and the Gallant officer was thrown violently to the ground, the left side of his face coming in collision with the edge of the kerb stone. On being raised from the ground he was found to be completely insensible, and the left eye was forced from its socket and lay exposed on his cheek ;he was immediately conve y ed to his residence in Upper Gr o sv enor - s t ree t, an d Messrs. Alexander and Lister, surgeons, were promptly in attendance, but he still remains in a very precarious state. SUDDEN DEATII OF CAPTAIN DOWLING.--Thia morning, between six and seven o'clock, Captain Joseph Dowling, barrack -master of the Scotch Fn,ilier Guards, re 'Wing in Stafford-row, _Pimlico, was found by his servant lying extended in the passage of his residence quite dead ; surgeon was sent for immediately, - who pronounced him to have been dead some hours. The deceased gentleman had a latch key of the street door which he always let himself in with, and it is supposed that on his arrival over night he was seized with a fit of apoplexy and expired immediately. An inquest is to be held on the body this day. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.—A daring attempt was made on Sunday eveMng to break into a small villa or cottage situated amongst a elni•er of new and partly finished buildings in the neighbourhood of Westbourne green, Harrow-road, by a rough-looking man having the appearance of an excavator. He was latched, it being broad daylight at the time, ley severaft persons who became cognizant of ins proceedings, and who took the precaution of acquainting the ; ()lice therewith ; but he, ins the meantime, while in the act of entering the house by the parlour window, broke a pane of glass, upon which he imme diately retreated, and notwithstanding every exertion on the part of the police and others at hand at the time, scampered over the railway and effected his escape. The only person s, _ it appears, in the house at the time w ere a l a d y and her child. who rushed out for protection in the greatest state of alarm. It. is supposed that the fellow must by some means have been aware of the lone state of the house, otherwise he would net have dared to effect his object at such an hour. This intrude/it attempt should place persons on their guard not to leave their houses and women in such lone places without a due amount of protection against such off.- nders. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, &C., AT SIR 3 01IN CastreELL's.— Yesterday informat . en was forwarded to the Metropolitan and City police, that on the night of the 22d inst. the dwelling-house of Sir John Campbell, No. 39, Curzan street, Mayfair, was robbed of the fAiowing articles of jut.el lery, viz. —A geld bracelet sot with garnets, a chair bracelet with hair, an elephant's hair chain set in gold, two r.ir of ear rings to match, a diamond crescent brooch, a diamond star brooch, a pink topaz brooch, a cameo brooch, a brooch set with various stones, two small pendants attached with grey hair and initial!, "F.

SHAM ATTORNEYS.-111 COnseqr.znce of the grace brought upon the profession by sham practitioners, several attorneys have resolved to prosecute such parties, and enforce against them the penal 4 of 50/., to which those practising as attorneys without being duly qualified are sub jected. DEATH WHILST SWEARlNG.—Yesterday Mr. Bed ford held an inquest at the Black Horse, Bedfordbury, on the body of John Jones, aged forty-eight, su rd ap ay rnoortaeirte.Tohn into The deceased the and some c om p an i ons went on at Coaoh and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, and whilst there drink ing, he wes accused of falsehood by some female, who knew him. In rebutting the charge lie used the terrible oath of " May God strike me dead." '1 he oath was hardly uttered I I when he was seized with paralysis of the left side. lie was taken to Charing-cross Hospital, in which he died fa a few hours after admission. A post-mortem examination proved that he died of apoplexy. Verdict accordingly. EXTRAORDINARY GUNPOWDER BLAST.—OH Tues day, in one of Mr. Hosken's granite quarries, near Penryn, a fine mass of granite, which admeasures about 14,000 cubic feet. its weight above 1,000 tons, was detached front the surround. ing rock by means of a charge of 251bs. of gunpowder. In the explosion the entire mass was seen to leap trim its natural bed. —Falmouth Pae,',et. DARING STREET RORBERY.—At a late hour on Sunday night, as a gentleman named Laming was walking along Friar-street, Southwark, he observed two women pre ceedina in the same direction. As he was passing them they rushed at him and tried to throw him down, and in the effort to save himself from falling he seized the prisoner's companion, who in a very adroit manner snatched the gold 0-1 ant of the breast of his shirt. The moment she got pos=ession of the pin both women ran away and got into Blacktriars-read. One of them was secured, hut her companion made her escape, and the pin has not been rccovs red. The woman who was taken wag committed yesterday from the Southwark Police-court fur three months at the treadmill. DEER. STALKING.—'I he fores's have not yet been much entered in ►earch of the antlered tribes. Deer are said to be in fine condition, but they have not yet cleared off the velvet from their horns. At Glengarry three red deer and a roe have been shot. Sir 11. Meux and party have also been successful in kiliing several, one of them with a good head. At Cawdor, the Hon. 0. buncombe got a tine s'ag, and Lord W. 'lllynne a roc. Lord Lovat and his sons have, at Glen strathfarar, secured severalstags —Scotch Reformers' Gazette. 111Oli LIFE BELOW STAlRS.—Yesterday afternoon between two and three o'clock, Mr. Seyville, a gentleman residing in the Walworth-road, unexpectedly returned from Gravesend, where he had been with his family, and discovered that the cook, Mary Turner, whom he had left in charge of his house, had invited a large party of her friends to an afternoon assembly. The company were all in high glee in the drawing room when Mr. Seyville inopportunely returned. Variotts were the eipedients to which the unlucky visitors had recourse to secrete themselves, some being found in the coal cellar and every imaginable place where they could hide. Mr. Seyvillo contented himself with turning the 'arty out, including " the founder of the feast," thus giving a very unpleasant termination to their entertainment. GAME PRESERVING.—We have heard a strange tale relating to Sir H. Verney and game preserving. Sir Harry has, on many occasions reeently, opposed the practice of game preserving; and he, a short time since, gave his tenantry leave to kill the game on the farms in their occupation. This liberty has now been taken from the occupiers, and we understami that Sir Harry has let the manor of Middle and Steeple Clay don to a person of the name of Boyd, who resides in Loudon. The game is now to be rigidly pre.erved, and an appointment at keepers arid lookers-out has taken place ; six persons are now so employed. It was only in November last that the Baronet gave his tenantry the right of shooting, and now in August they are given to undei stand that it has been let for a valuable consideration. We trust, for the credit of Sir Harry, that this statement ran be denied. —Ayesbury News. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY. On Monday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, an ae cident occurred by which a fine horse, value upwards of 401., belonging to Mr. Hoofe, the contractor of the Tunbridge Bromel line was sacrificed. It appears that some labourers of Mr. bode were at work uv.der the direction of Henry Bailey, the foreman of the works at the Tunbridge station, drawing timber, and, on crossing the line at Tunbridge, diseonnecteA the leader from the train. At this moment the first up train from Dover came along, and the engine struck the poor animal on its haunches with such violence, as to knock it down, when the whole train, consisting of about thirty carriages, passed, over it, the sudden shock causing considerable alarm to the. passengers. At the time of the occurrence there was a dense fog. The corn harvest has commenced in all parts of Wales. In Carmarthenshire considerable difficulty is expe rienred in obtaining good reapers, and advanced wages are freely offered. The weather is now every thing that the au* sanguine could wish for, and the country is necessarily deriving considerable benefit from it.— Treishmna. Wig) t disci Ns 'S]
