Prelate who, for the last nine years, led over the see of Ely, closed his earthly career a o'clock on Thursday morning, to the great grief of all relatives and friends. For some time past his Lord ship's health had been declining ; but within the last three or four weeks the decay of his strength, and the diminution of his vital energy, became so evident to his medical attendants, that no hope of his Lordship's restoration to health could rationally be entertained. His immediate connexions Here therefore fully prepared for the melancholy event which took place at the epis copal palace in Ely, where he had resided from the com mencement of that illness of which we have now to re cord the fatal termination. The deceased prelate was born in they year 1770, and had therefore entered upon the 76th year of his age before he breathed his last. He was not a man of showy talents, or remarkably ambi tious of literary distinction ; and, though not a very brilliant ornament of the episcopal bench, he was rather a learned, and, certainly, a discreet man, for he does not appear to have placed himself in the front ranks of any party, either in Church er State, although it could never be said that ho was at all backward in the perfor mance of second or third rate duties, whenever the pro gress of legislation in matters ecclesiastical called for his active interference. The subject of this notice, the Right Rev. Joseph Allen, D.D., successively Bishop of Bristol :and of Ely, passed his school and college life without attracting much attention at the places of his education, or bringing down upon his - .head either the reprsaches, the jealousy, or the admiration of his contemporaries. Ile received his university education at Trinity College, Cambridge, and ob tainrd a fellowship there; but soon afterwards he ac quired a far greater advantage in being appointed tutor to Lord Althorp, now Earl Spencer. It is so much matter of course for the preceptor of an Earl to become a dignitary of the Church, that nothing less than a sense of extreme unfitness ever sluts out from their hopes so pleasing a consummation. Soon after the completion of Lord Althorp's education Dr. Allen was, by the father of his pupil, presented to the vicarage of Battersea, in Surrey, and he likewise received a prebendal stall in Westminster Abbey; which preferments afforded hint for many years the pleasures of a residence in the metro'- polis, and the more substantial enjoyments derivable from the possession of 1,5001. a year. He thus became a member of that eminent corporation the Dean and Chapter of Westminster; and these reverend personages are the patrons of the living of St. Bride, in the city of London. Dr. Allen had not for many years belonged to their body when the pastoral office in that important and populous parish became va cant, and the result was that the late Bishop of Ely found himself a pluralist with an increase to his income of 5621. per annum, which raised.its aggre gate amount to no less a sum than 2,0001. a year-- almost enough for a bishop. But fortune seemed never weary of heaping her favours upon Dr. Allen, for after enjoying this large revenue during a period long enough to accumulate wealth, he saw the Whigs, to their own surprise, as well as to the astonishment of the world, in possession of Downing street ; and he likewise bad the pleasure of seeing that his quondam pupil was a leading member of the new Administration. Mitres, crosiers, and all the ensigns of episcopal authority, naturally presented themselves to the imaginations of the learned persons who had superintended the education of the Whig nobility ; and the chapter of accidents afforded them a rich harvest of deaneries and bishoprics. Amongst this number was the see of Bristol. 13ishop Gray, who for seven years had go verned that diocese, was in 1834 removed from this world to a better, and the subject of this memoir reigned in his stead. He was now a member of the House of Lords, with increased income and influence. To do him justice, there is no reason to suppose that he ever misapplied either, though his name will not descend to posterity in connexion with any great public services or any remarkable sacrifice of personal convenience or advantage. He was, however, by no means unmindful of his public duties, for when in the possession of full strength and vigour, he was a frequent attendant on the debates of the house of Lords, and took a strong in terest in all legislative enactments connected with the Universities and the Church. His Lordship voted against the third reading of the Irish Church Tempora lities Bill, and he also opposed the second reading of the Bill respecting tithes in Ireland which was introduced in 1334. He refused to give his assent to the removal of the Jewish disabilities, although he voted in favour of the ad mission of Dissenters to our Universities. On the third reading of the Poor-law Amendment Act he opposed that measure. This independence of spirit reflects upon his name some credit, for we need scarcely remind any reader that the new poor-law was a favourite measure of the Bishop's patron. When Dr. Allen was translated from the see of Bristol, in October, 1836, that bishopric was united to Gloucester under the provision of an Order in Coun cil ; and Dr. Monk, then Bishop of the last-mentioned diocese, became Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, while Dr. Allen—his friends being still in power—had the good fortune to be translated to the Bishopric of Ely, which formerly was worth 10,000/. a-year, but which, by recent legislative enactments, has been reduced to 5,500/, After having presided over this see for a period —as already stated—of nine years, the Right Rev. Pre late quitted this world, leaving behind him a reputation not so brilliant as to excite envy, but quite sufficient to secure respect.— Times. ran t 01 a• r yAnerr 11 t le cg„ ril"; :en air olinutel Nu. 16,411.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne.—The Newcastle, Shields, and Sunderland Union Banking Company. London—Messrs. Weston and Young, Borough Bank. SOLICITORS.—Messrs. Preston and Browne. The present Company has been formed for the purpose of guaran teeing to the trade between the Tyne and the Thames the benefit of a moderate and fixed rate of charges, and of preventing shippers from being subjected to imposition, caprice, or fluctuation of charge. In order to effectuate these objects, a scale of freights and fares has been framed to the entire satisfaction of shippers. It has been clearly ascertained that the proposed rates will secure a profitable return to the Shareholders ; and, with the view of open ing more extensively the London markets, and of giving increased facilities to the trade, it has been determined to place on the station two first-class efficient steam-vessels. The trade of the district is already quite adequate to give ample employment to two steam-vessels, and a large increase may he ex pected from the late remission of duties, which must act as a power ful stimulus to the manufactures of the Tyne. The Shareholders of the Company will consist almost entirely of persons engaged in the manufactures and commerce of the district, including the majority of west-country shippers ; full employment to the vessels, and a liberal remuneration to the Shareholders, may therefore be safely relied on. The advantages of steam navigation have never yet been fully de veloped in the port of Newcastle. The present Company, however, will act in conjunction with a Committee appointed by the trade ; and it cannot be doubted that the best results will follow from a mode of conveyance so much in accordance wills the wants of the trade, con ducted as it will be with the utmost economy and regularity, and the strictest attention to the interests of shippers. Application for prospectuses and for shares will be received by the London Committee, at No. 42, Lombard-street, London ; and also by Messrs. Preston and Browne, solicitors, 26, Dean-street, Newcastle upon-Tyne; or Mr. Jonathan Dreury, sharebroker, 92, Side, New castle-upon-Ty-no. As a considerable portion of the capital has already been subscribed, no application for shares can be received after the sth April, on which day an allotment will take place. FORM OF APPLICATION. I request you to allot me shares of st. each in the above Company, and I undertake to accept the same, or such less number as you may appropriate to me, subject to the regulations of the Company, and on request to pay the deposit, and sign every ne cessary instrument for carrying into effect the said Company.

DECLAR AVON OF THE GUARDIANS CF BRENT, DEVON HALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Boling, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines bet re taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. "Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now enabled to att.md to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures alPo made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by Jolm Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1843. Tne above-mentioned Thomas Rollin was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. lie was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the " Nottingham Review" : " IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, BAD LEGS, &c. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to he afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well ascertained fact that lialse's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of It ; indeed, we have known partieS who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation, the now justly-celebrated 'Mises Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yielded as if by magic. We again say, `Try Ilalse's Scorbutic Drops.'

Scene, Downing-street, the PREMIER, in the garb of RICHARD THE THIRD, on a sofa, with a tapestried window at the back. (Six figures are seen ifo pass at the back, each of which in turn addresses the PREMIER.) FIRST FIGURE (a small Tradesman). Let my approach your soul with anguish fill, See my small profits, my exhausted till ; Fed thou the pain which now my bosom racks, A wretched victim to your income-tax. SECOND FIGURE ( a briefless Ba?rister). Another martyr, Peel, behold in me, Without a brief—almost without a fee ; Briefless I am, but so would not appear; I pay the tax on what I do not clear. THIRD FIGURE (a lean curate). Alas! . you've made me feel what I endure; Mine is a wound, but not without a cure. Out of that cure an income-tax I give; If I've no living, how am I to live? FOURTH FIGURE (a half-pay Captain). Peel, my allowance could not be well shorter ; To my half-pay why will you give no quarter ? FIFTH FIGURE -.- (a poor Widow). Why dig your hands into poor widow's purses But, with the widow's sevenpence, take her curses. SIXTH FIGURE (a poor Artist). E'en the poor artist is compelled to give Out of the means on which he scarce can live. 'Tis hard the income-tax on him to lay, Whom even princely patrons poorly pay.

The funeral, at the special re quest of the deceased's relatives, was strictly private. The hearse, drawn by four horses, was followed by two mourning coaches, each drawn by four horses, contain ing the relatives and friends of the deceased gentleman. Numbers of the inhabitants of Norwood out of respect followed the procession. We understand that the marriage of the Right Hon. Lord Gifford with Miss Berkeley, daughter of our lion. and Gallant Representative, Captain M.. F. F. Ber keley, R.N., will take place early in th e ensuing month, and that a family party will shortly assemble at the Ridge on the happy occasion.—GloucesterJournal, The following letter, describing some remarkable appearances of the sun, which have been recently ob- Belied, recently appeared in a Morning Contempo- Sir,—l write to inform you of a most extraor- Ciliary phenomenon which has to-day been observed at Cambridge ; and I do so because, although the el eat is one which must interest the scientific world to a very high degree, yet the results of the minute observations made by the Plumian Professor will not be completed for some days; and I thought that, in the mean while, the results of my own observations might not be unacceptable. " The morning was beautifully fine and the sky cloudless, if we except a few cirro-cumuli in the S.S.E„ which appeared like thin pieces of white gauze floating in the sky, scarcely a breath of air stirring, About twenty-five minutes past ten my attention was drawn to the sun, which, though apparently un clouded, seemed to shine with less than usual lustre, and his rays appeared slightly tinged with green. "I immediately put on the dark glass of my achro • matic telescope, and with a power of about forty, directed the instrument to the sun's centre. I here saw distinctly a small dark spot, surrounded succes sively by violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red rings, separated by comparatively dark rings, and be yond the exterior red ring the same recurred in the same order, but the colours then were much more faint, and at last hardly visible. This appearance in creased in intensity until five minutes past eleven, after which the colours began to fade, and exactly at twelve all trace of colour disappeared. However, I continued my observations, and soon found that the phenomena had not concluded, for the colours now began to return in a reversed order—i.e., at the sun's centre was now a spot of purely white light, and each colour was replaced by its complementary one ; and, most astonishing to relate, this appearance of the sun's disc increased in intensity of colour until five minutes before one, and then began to fade, vanishing completely at 35 minutes past two, after which every thing resumed its ordinary appearance, and nothing more could be discerned unusual through out the day. " A few words respecting the causes of this extra ordinary phenomenon. It is well known that if two convex lenses of small curvature be placed in con tact, and a pencil of sunlight be allowed to fall upon them, that the appearance presented by the reflected rays is that of a dark spot surrounded by coloured rings, from blue to red ; and that the transmitted light exhibits a bright spot surrounded by rings of the complementary colours, which are commonly known as Newton's rings.' " Now, if two thin films of vapour, extremely near together, passed between the sun's disc and the eye of an observer, the scientific reader will immediately see that the transmitted rays might produce the ap pearance I have described as taking place after twelve o'clock ; but to produce that observed before twelve, the rays reflected from the earth by these two films of vapour must have been again reflected by a third film, and thus brought to the eye in a manner some what analogous to that in which the mock sun is formed. As this third film moved away the pheno menon must vary, and at last disappear, and the sun's transmitted rays now reaching the eye without any reflection, would change the appearance to that ob served from twelve o'clock to half-past two. " I cannot, however, yet explain why the periods of maximum brightness should be equidistant from noon, as I am at a loss to know what functions the sun's hour angle the motions of these laminm of vapour could be. " The correctness of the above hypothesis is re markably confirmed by micrometical admeasure ments which I took off the angular magnitudes of the red and violet rings. I found these tQ be nearly in the ratio of 43 to 30—i. e., nearly in the ratio of the square roots of the lengths of the un dulations corresponding to red and violet rays, which is exactly what ought to be the case if my hypothesis is correct.* N. "The colours in the -spectrum before noon were fainter than those observed afterwards ; and some light must be lost by the second reflection : if my hypothesis be correct, this is another remarkable con firmation of its truth. I have written the above in great haste, which I hope you will excuse. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " THEODORE F. ELLIS.

VIGILANT POLICE. (From Young England.) "Indeed, the watch ought to offend no man; and it is an offence to stay a man against his will."—Much Ado about Nothing. One of the most singular circumstances connected with the Hampstead tragedy was brought to light at the examination before the magistrates at Marylebone Po lice-office, on Tuesday. A police-constable, who had been previously examined, came forward to add some thing to his testimony which he had before omitted, and which it appears was brought to his recollection by a voluntary statement made by the prisoner llocker to another policeman in his cell, to the effect that he had given a shilling to the constable in charge of the corpse of Delarue. A policeman finds an individual at a short distance from the body of the murdered man ; this unknown man " having a cloak very much muffled about his head," with a most unaccountable spirit of benevolence offers to treat the policeman, that he had never spoken to before, with a little brandy—yet the suspicions of the amiable officer were not aroused ! The mysterious man then took a shilling out of his pocket, and asked the po liceman to get some brandy with it. What did the con stable do?—arrest the man offering him money under such circumstances? No. Baldock merely replied, "I must not take it. I am not allowed to do so." The stranger pressed him again; and the vigilant functionary took the Alining, and " had no further conversation with the man, and did not see where or when he left." All this seems most unaccountable. It was plainly the duty of the policeman to have detained, as a witness, the man wlso was in the neighbourhood when the murder was committed ; and if he had reasoned for a moment on the motives which could have induced a strange man in such a place to offer him a bribe, he would certainly not have allowed him to walk off without seeing where he went to, or when he left. Yet the papers are constantly taking of the vigilance of our police ! THE TRACTARIANS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin, —Here and there, in general society, you meet with men who say they think people are exceedingly silly to dis turb themselves about the attempts of the Tractarians ; that their revival of obsolete observances is a matter of in difference; and, in short, that we should do just as well under the Romish as under the Protestant system. I would ask such men, if they ever travelled beyond their own provincial frontier,—whethe r it ever occurre d to them to contrast, for instance, Ireland, w ith E ng l an d , I ta l y with Holland, Bohemia with Prussia, or the Catholic cantons of Switzerland with the Reformed ones ? If they have tra velled, or even read books of travels with common attention, they must have found that, while Protestant countries generally present an aspect of comparative prosperity and enlighten ment, the great masses of the people of those lands in which the Roman Catholic religion is predominant., are sunk in sloth, ignorance, superstition, poverty, and sensuality. This appears to me a fact worth remarking, and I say—Beware, then, of the Tractarians, who assuredly would, if they could, drag us back to medieval darkness, and make us the blind slaves of a wily and arrogant priesthood. I should add, that I have nothing whatever to say against individual Roman Catholics. I am acquainted with but few, and these are, I believe, estimable men. I am, Sir, yours with much respect, Exeter, March 15, 1845. NOTATOR. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ESSEX.—Thursday, shortly before eight o'clock, a very destructive fire broke out upon the extensive premises belonging to Air. lloperoft, lamp-black and colour manufacturer, situate at Strat ford, Essex, near Barrow-bridge. The flames, when first perceived, were raging furiously in the lamp-black factory, a building 70 feet long by 25 feet wide. The stock being of an easily ignitable character, not many minutes elapsed before the flames broke through the roof. With all speed intelligence of the outbreak was furnished to the engine stations in town by a mounted police-officer. During the time thus occupied, the inha bitants brought a private engine to the scene, but owing to the firm hold the fire bad already obtained, it at owe became apparent that nothing could prevent the entire contents of the building from falling a prey to the fury of the flames. Engines from Jeffrey and Wellelose. square stations were quick in arriving, and owing to the exertions of the firemen and inhabitants the flames were eventually extinguished—not, however, until the whol of the stock in the manufactory was consumed, and the roof burned off. The origin of the fire has been traced to the accidental ignition of some spirit. Unfortunately Mr. iloperoft is uninsured. =MR. B. WOOD, M.P.—lt is with satisfaction that we are enabled to state that the veteran Member for SDuthwark is considerably improved in health, and that he has lately been able to enjoy carriage exercise. He still remains at his country seat, near Elthara, Kent. DOMESTIC POULTV . (From the Gardeners' Chronick)44 - Amidst the various projects , suggested for the benefit of the rural population, we hail with satisfac tion the announcement from the Zoological Society of London, of the intention of the Council to encourage an Exhibition of Domestic Poultry at the Gardens in the Regent's Park, in the course of the ensuing summer. The little attention at present paid to the rearing of poultry in England is too plainly shown by the fact that more than two hundred and fifty millions of eggs were imported from the Con tinent in 1641, 1842 and 1843 ; and, more over, that in the two latter years duty was paid on the importation of live and dead poultry to the value of 600,0001. Surely, this ought to stimulate us to be stirring, and if possible to promote the rear ing of poultry, one of the modes of doing which may be anticipated to be the improvement of their breeds. Thirty years ago six sorts of fowls only were es teemed—namely, Ist, the game ; 2.d, the white or Eng lish ; 3d, the black or Poland ; 4th, the Dorking ; sth, the large or shakebag ; and Gth, the Malay breed. The case is now altered. Our space does not at present permit our enlarging on this sub ject farther than to quote one instance of farm management, as regards poultry, mentioned by Mr. Arthur Young, as practised by Mr. Boys, of Kent :—" The labourers' wives and families who live on Mr. Boys' farm do the whole; he supplies them with what offal corn is necessary, and they re turn Mrs. Boys the grown fowls ready for market, at 3d. each; Gd. for turkeys and geese; and 3d. for ducks ; and the account, well kept, states a profit of 20/. a year, after all the expenses are paid and the family well supplied; and she has, likewise, all the eggs without any paymekt. This is a system equally beneficial to the people who undertake it and to the farmer." This plan is still followed in some parts of England, where circumstances render it practicable. It is in the belief that it will tend to promote such and simi lar arrangements that we augur well of the proposed measure, and anticipate that part at least of the four or five hundred thousand pounds, at present paid every year to our neighbours, may be usefully em ployed at home, to the benefit of the farmer, and the employment and profit of the family of the cottager. MURDER AND SUICIDE. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—A most distressing case of murder and suicide by the murderess, took place on Tuesday, in the neighbourhood of Oldham-road, in this town. It appears that about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon a neighbour called at the honse of the de oeased, whose husband is a respectable working-man, named John Fairhurst, and finding the door locked, she peeped through the keyhole and saw Mrs. Fairhurst standing in the middle of the floor with the child in her arms, and a long piece of rope. She opened the door, and then threw the rope into the cupboard. After some conversation the neighbour left her, and in about half an hour afterwards a person who had occasion to call at the house, opened the door and saw Mrs. Fairhurst hanging by a piece of rope attached to a nail which had been driven over the staircase. An alarm was instantly made ; she was cut down and carried up stairs, and upon the parties getting into the bed-room the infant daughter of the deceased was seen hanging from the tester rail of the bed. The ,infant was quite dead, al though warm. No cause can be assigned for this shocking act, but it is thought that the circumstance of the husband having threatened to put the child out to nurse had preyed upon the mind of the mother, who, it appears, determined upon putting it to death, and then terminating her own existence. An inquest was held upon the bodies yes terday. Hannah Lawrenson, sister of the deceased, said—The deceased. Sarah Fairhurst, was the wife of John Fair hurst, maker up, of Hampson-street. She was forty years of age. The child's name was Elizabeth, and sho was fourteen months old on Monday. My sister appeared during the last month to have changed in her mind, and had been making complaints about her family.

He had never heard her threaten to destroy herself, but had heard that she had done such a thing. He had occasion to speak about taking the child from her if she did not get better. She overheard the conversation, and she begged that the child might not be taken from her. Witness promised that the child should not be taken away, and she ap peared to get better. She was of a coveto us disposition. The CORONER said he thought there could be wo doubt that the deceased Sarah Fairhurst had committed the act while in a state of temporary insanity. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Mr. A. J. Baker Cresswell, ➢Z.P. for Northumber land. has just added to his extensive estates in that county by the purchase of the large and beautiful estate of Elling ton, near Morpeth. 4 0 ,
