MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales. The market was less active.—The Share Market was not quite so good as yesterday. The weekly statement, to the Bth inst., or the Bank of England is not so favourable as the last one was. The discount business fell off considerably again, and there was a slight reduction of bullion. This is accounted for by the large addition made to the Public Deposits, as well os by the falling-in of Bills due; but it appears that parties were lessening their balances, and, probably, with the object of investing the proceeds in Stock or Shares. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follow: Notes Issued ... Increase ...

The following is a statement of tho number of vessels entered inwards at Portland (Port Philip), from Ist April, 1850, to 31st March:-81 vessels, measuring 8,925 tons. Export for the same period-7,245 bales wool, 1,127 hides, 232 casks tallow, 420 trusses hay, 156 tons guano, 773 sheep, 6 tons horns, hoofs, &c., 2 kegs butter, 47 cheeses, 93 bags wheat, 36 bales sheepskins.

The whole future of Australia will be altered by this important addition to her resources, and the great want will be, more than ever, a sufficiency of hands. With a view to facilitate business, and particularly the landing of perishable cargoes, a certain number of the officers of the Customs' Long Room will in future be in attendance at eight o'clock in summer, and at nine A.m. in winter, instead of ten as at present, all the year round. The landing officers, we believe, have always had to be at their post by the hours now named. This is a move in the right direction. In the woollen manufacturing districts business is still slack, but there is a gradual reduction of stocks on band, that will lead probably to an improvement early next year. At Manchester considerable activity has prevailed. The exports of Bullion direct from London during the week, to Thursday last, wire 235,150 ounces, and 9901. in silver, of which 200,000 oz. went to the Cape of Good Hope. No Gold was shipped. The Funds continue rather heavy, but there Is not much doing. Consols have realised 98/ _a for Transfer and Account. The New Tbree-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 98i ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced 978 Bank btock has been supported at 214 to 2141; East India Stock has been steady at 262 k. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 51s. to 545.; and India Bends 58s. to 61s. premium, being a shade lower. In the Foreign Market another serious fall has oc curred in Mexican Bonds, which have been done as low as 23* to -?- 4 . There seems to be a panic, for taking off the indemnity money, equal to 5 or 6 per cent., the price would be only 19. Spanish Three per Cents. are 398, and the Five per Cents. 201 to k. The Passive are sto Portuguese Old Bonds have been quoted 87, and Buenos Ayres 44. Brazilian Old Stock for Account is 89k. Equador Bonds are 3. Russian Four-and-a. Half per Cents. have been marked 1024. Venezuela Bonds are 36. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are worth 89. Railway Shares have been weaker, and are so far fol lowing the usual course after the settlement. The Gold Mining Shares are lower, as there are other companies coming out. With proper management, there may be room for all on Colonel Fremont's ex tensive property, but the glut of shares at first has a dee preciating effect. There aro said to be purchases making by many for investment. ONE CIIICES OF BRITISH FUNDS O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per ijent. Redueed :'inns. 3 per Cent. Consols Annuli hr.. Now 8 per Cent. Amid ....

PERAYGILL.—ZUDGMENT. , The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this I morning, gave judgment in this case, which he stated was an appeal from Viee-Chancellor Knight Bruce, and which was argued before his Lordship last term. He had determined, as the judgments in cases of joint-stock companies had been so varied, to submit the case to a court of law for the Judges' opinion upon the Act of Parliament. This was a case of great importance, and he thought—although it he was called upon he would give judgment—that the better course to be adopted was that which he had suggested. The common Law Judges' opinion could, owing to the advanced state of business in Westminster-Hall, he obtained in the course of three or four weeks, and the expenses would be very trifling, as there would be only two counts wanted in the case, one on either side. Mr. STUART said that if his Lordship had no objec tion they would rather have the opinion of the Court upon tho case. His LORDSHIP asked if it was Ilkley that his opinion would be appealed against, and being answered in the affirmative, stated that the case be had suggested would, he thought, be the most satisfactory. If any of the parties concerned wished for the opinion of the Judges they had a right to have it. After some further discussion, it was ordered that the case be taken to the common law courts for the opinion of the Judges.—Judgment accordingly. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE OVERSEERS CF STORE•UPON TRENT V. FLOWER. Mr. WHEATLEY, Q.C., applied for a rule calling upon the trustees of Stoke-upon-Trent to show cause why they should not issue a distress warrant against a poor rate defaulter. The magistrates had been requested to issue the warrant, but instead of complying with the request in the manner the Poor-law Act provided, they entered into a discussion as to the validity of the rate, and ultimately refused the warrant. Now the duty of the justices was merely ministerial, and they had there fore no power or authority to dispute the validity of the rate. That was left to the rate-payer, who ought to have appealed against the rate at the proper time, if it was invaiid, but he had neglected to elo that, and conse quently the magistrates had no alternative but to issue the warrant if they wished to comply with the Act of Parliament Mr. Justice E RLE gran t e d a rule to show cause.—R ule Nisi accordingly. , LIB BIRKENHEAD DOCKS. — A d m i ra l B eaufort; hydrographer to the Admiralty, and Mr. Robert Stephen son, Lave made a report on the rival plans for constructing the Birkenhead Docks, which we trust will cause them to be formed in the manner best calculated to develop the ad vantages of Birkenhead, and most conducive to the prosperity of the great port of the river Mersey. They have reported in favour of the plans of Mr. Bendel, which were formed on a mature consideration of all that was requisite to develop the natural advantages of Birkenhead, and against those of 11r.

NEWS FROM THE GOLD REGIONS.—SIDNEY, AUG. 18. —We talk about nothing here but the gold regions. At Frederick's Valley the gold diggers are doing wonders. I have this evening seen a letter from a gentleman of respec tability, who is staying there, to a friend in Bathurst, in which he states that two men named Haghan have procured 1501. worth of gold in two days, and that they picked up two lumps weighing each Ili and 14 oun ces . A great num ber of the diggers are doing remarkably well. Three sailors, who a fortnight since arrived from Sydney, have procured 8001. worth of gold from the claim they are now working near the Wallaby rocks. It is report e d th at at M a i t l and a new gold field has been discovered. Maitland is said to be some 60 miles from Sydney. LINcoLN's INN, Nov. 14.—The following members of this society have been called to the bar, and were sworn in this evening in the hall:—John D. Dent, M.A.; Arthur Sperling, LL.D.; John S.

UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREW'S.--The Senatus Academicus of the University of St. Andrew's, at a meeting held on Saturday , unanimously made choice f the Duke of Argyle to be Chancellor of the University, in the room of Viscont Melville, lately deceased. LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER-HALL . This society commenced their annual series of con certs last night, with Handel's fine oratorio of _Belshazzar, and although it was the first time of its performance by them the admirable manner in which it was given re flects the highest credit on all concerned. The choruses were given with splendid effect and the most praise worthy precision; the fine one, "Sing, 0 ye heavens," was realty given in magnificent style, as were also, "See from his post" and " Recall, 0 King." The solo parts were sustained by Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Messrs. Lockey, Lawler, Williams, and R. T. Smith. Miss Dolby's fine manner of rendering the recitative and air, " No, to thyself," and "Yet to obey," was received with gloat applause; and notwithstanding its length, very narrowly escaped being encored; and Mr. Lockey's fine voice did ample justice to the retitative and air, "Let the deep bowl," and " Where is the God." The other solo artists, it is needless to say, were excellent, but the music, i. e. the solo music, is not only extremely difficult, but it does not appeal so direct to the senses as the airs in the other works of the great composer. The great beauty of the work lies in the massive choruses, and, as we have said, the superb manner in which they were given shows that the music has been studied closely, and carefully rehearsed. The hall was literally packed, and the immense audience were frequent in their demon strations of satisfaction. We cannot conclude this short notice without congratulating the society in their marked improvement in the orchestra. It is now all that could be desired, and the society is altogether second to none in strength, and the musical abilities of its members. Kossuth, who was expected by the Committee of management, was too fatigued with travelling, and having had so frequently to address large assemblies, as to prevent his appearance, although Madame and M. Pulsky and several more of his suite were present. A LITERARY THIEF.—The Philadelphia Star ad dresses another paper, called the Boston Bee— " How doth the little Boston Bee Improve the shining hours; And gather honey every day, From paragraphs of ours !" MR. JOSEPH HUME, M.P., AND THE EDINBURGH COLLEGE Musiitiat.—lt is generally known that the citizens of London owe the privilege of free admission into some of their most interesting and important exhibitions and mu seums, to none more than the Member for Montrose. An incident has just come to our knowledge which leads us to hope that his exertions will be extended in favour of our selves, and efforts directed to procure for the citizens of Edinburgh free admission to one of the most valuable exhi bitions in our city. On the occasion of Mr. flume's last visit to Edinburgh he visited the College Museum, and, probably under the impression that it was free to all visitors, he was about to pass by the doorkeeper, but was at once stopped with a demand for the usual charge —one shilling. The ve teran Reformer with some reluctance paid the charge, and entered his name in the book thus--" Joseph Hume, paid one shilling." After having done so, be turned to the keeper and said, " Sir, the last time I was here I paid half-a-crown—l have now paid a shilling; but when I next visit the Museum I will enter free, or the country will hear about it." We have no doubt the public of Edinburgh will fully appreciate any effort which Mr. Hume may Blake to open this valuable col lection.— Scottish Press. DEATH OF GENERAL LORD DE BLAQUIERE.— This nobleman, who was a general officer, died on the 12th instant, aged 73 years. Hi s L ordship was the second son of the first per, and obtained a commission in the army in 1791, became a lieutenant in 1793, a captain in the same year, a major in 1798, a li eu t e nant-colonel in 1801, a colonel in 1810, a major -general in 1813, a lieutenent-general in 182.5, and a general in 1841. In 1844 General de Blaquiere suc ceeded his brother in the Irish peerage. This family is de scended from John de Blaquiere, a native of France, who settled in London on the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. The late Lord de Blaquiere is succeeded in the title by his son, a captain on the half-pay unattached. BLAENARON IRON COMPANY. --A special meeting of the shareholders took place yesterday at the company's offices, No. 4, Pancras-lane, City, M r . M as t erman in the chair, to authorise the directors t o ra i se 50,0001. for t h e pur pose of paying off some of the c ompany ' s debentures on t h e best terms obtainable, and for oth er purposes connected w i t h the company's position. The chairman stated that one effect of the proposed arrangement would be to release the proprie tors from a liability of 35,0001., to which they were then subject. In the course of the discussion, it was stated by Mr. Hill, a director, that the command of money was alone wanting to enable the directors to carry on the works with the prospect of insuring a dividend. A reso lution for authorising the raising of the loan was ultimately carried nem. con. The sentence of the Court-martial on a sergeant and some privates of the Royal Artillery, who were tried at the Main Guard House at Portsmouth on the preceding Friday and Saturday, has been confirmed by the Comman der-in-Chief, and promulgated. The charge was for drunkenness while on guard at King William's Gate, Ports mouth, and the sergeant has been sentenced to be reduced to the ranks, and the privates to terms of imprisonment, varying from two to six mouths each, according to their pre vious characters. READY WIT.—A person threw the head of a goose on to the stage of the Belville Theatre. Corto, ad vancing to the front, said, "Gentlemen, if any amongst you has lost his head, do not be uneasy, for I will restore it at the conclusion of the performance." A REASON.—A minister was walking out one day and passed two little boys, one of whom made a bow. As he turned his back, he heard the following amusing conver sation :—" Why, John, didn't you k now that was parson M. ?" " Yes, of course I did." " Wel l, w h y did you not make a bow to him ?" "Why, m y mother don't b e l ong to his church." _ _ THE SHAKESPERE SOCIETY. --It is somewhat re markable that the works of our great dramatist have never yet been translated into any of the Scandinavian languages; but the council of the Shakespere Society, at its meeting on Tuesday last, received a very welcome and unexpected pre sent in the shape of a translation of Shakespeare, in twelve volumes Bvo., into Swedish verse. This laborious work has been accomplished by Professor Hagberg, of the University of Lund, and it was transmitted through the Swedish Mi nister resident in London. Professor Hagberg seems to have performed his task with great knowledge and skill, and his letter, accompanying the gift, was, in its way, a model of English composition. The council, in return, passed a vote of thanks, accompanied with a substantial present of not fewer than forty works, which have been printed under their auspices, in illustration of Shakespere and his great drama tic contemporaries. THE ITALIAN THEATRE AT PARIS.-011 Tuesday night Mdlle. Cruvelli made her first apparance in Norma, and it was really refreshing to witness the hearty enjoyment of the audience, which, under the spell of this great artist, seemed to have escaped from the political disquietude of the moment. If we may judge of the future from what took place then, the people of Paris will grow wild about Cruvelli. From beginning to end it was an ovation. After the ." Casta diva," shouts of laughter were raised by the efforts of a venerable old gentleman to collect and carry off the shower of bouquets which had fallen at the feet of the enchantress. But what was rare, indeed, a second shower as abundant as the first, testified, before the close of the second act, th e un di m i n i s hi ng en thusiasm of as crowded and brilliant an audience as could well have been collected to gether. TUB CAB DRIVERS' STRIKE AT LIVERPOOL,— The Liverpool Mercury announces that the strike of these men, after lasting a few days, has terminated. Above one half of the employers have consented to the terms proposed by the men, whilst in one or two instances, three shillings a day has been given. Some of the larger cab-owners, how ever, firmly refused any alteration, and the men, finding there was no probability of obtaining the advarce of wages and the rest from Sabbath labor, have returned to their work, COURT CIRCULAR, WINDSOR, Nov. 14.

It is stated, says the Shipping Gazette, that the total of the policies on the new West India mail steam-ship Demerara, which has just been wrecked at Bristol, is 48,0001. Of this sum 28,000/. was taken at Lloyd's, 10,000/. by the Mutual Marine Indemnity, and 10,0001. by the London Assurance. An agent has consequently been sent on their behalf to report the extent of damage, which, however, cannot be ascertained until she is in the dry dock. Meanwhile some difference appears to have arisen with regard to a desire on the part of the owners to claim for her as a total wreck, the under writers conceiving, perhaps, that she is in a state to be repaired, and that it is these repairs alone they are called upon to meet. The following correspondence has already passed between the assured and one of the parties interested:— " London, Nov. 11, 1851. " Dear Sir,—ln consequence of advices received this morning from Bristol of an accident which has befallen the ship Demerara, in the Bristol river, which has made her a total wreck, we hereby, on the part of the assured on policies of insurance effected with you on the 10th of September and the 4th of October, 1851, for 6,300 L on the said ship, abandoned the same to you, and shall look to you for payment of a total loss. " We are yours respectfully, " W. HUTCHINSON and Co. "Richard Thornton, Esq., Old Swan, London-bridge." " Dear Sirs,—Please take notice that I do not accept your abandonment, and return it you accordingly. " Your obedient servant, " RICHARD THORNTON." THE NOUVEAU MONDE MINING COMPANY. (From the Mining Journal.) This company is established in France, for working gold mines in the Mariposa district of California, under leases from the Hon. Colonel John Charles Frimont. The capital is 5,000,000 francs (or 200,0001.), raised by the issue of shares of 25 francs each (or 1/. sterling), to bearer, with no further liability. In accordance with the French law of Comrnandite, under which the com pany is constituted, the affairs are conducted by the G6rant, assisted by the Council of Supervision in Paris; but powers have been obtained, by which the entire control of the company's affairs in England and Cali fornia is under the superintendence of a council of seven gentlemen in London of great respectability, some of them too well known in the mining world to need any comment from us. The engineers are Messrs. John Taylor and Sons, of Queen-street•placo, sufficient gua rantee to the public that the department under their management could not be placed in more talented hands. The auditors, solicitors, and brokers, are well and gene rally known, and we doubt if any company ever ap peared before the public under better auspices, By the operation of this law of Commandiee, the lia bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his share, and the shares being to bearer (au porteur) are transferable like a bank note, are not subject to regis tration or calls, and no deed has to be signed. Shares to the amount of 46 0001. have been issued in France, and the proceeds applied to the purchase of leases of the mi neral property, in paying the•expenses incurred in the establishment of the company, and the outfit of an expe dition to California. The further capital is to be applied to purchasing and sending out the necessary machinery, with an efficient staff of miners, artizans, and competent agents, skilled in the various processes adapted for the extraction of gold, and in working the mines effectively. The leases are deposited with the solicitors of the com pany. The proceeds from the mines are to be remitted to England, and after deducting all expenses, divided rateably among the shareholders —dividends payable in Paris and London. The mining setts included in the leases held by the company comprise an extent of auri ferous land seven times greater than that possessed by any other company. One of these setts is called Bald win's Mine, which is upon the great Mariposa quartz vein, and about three-quarters of a mile tram the city; it is 600 feet square. The vein is from 4to 5 feet wide, dipping south; the specimens taken from this mine are extremely rich, and are exhibited at the °Picea of the company. Capt. William A. Jackson, a mining engineer, resident on the spot above two years, inspected the pro perty on the 28th March last, and reports most favour ably thereon. The grants to the company, which in clude 500 acres of forest land (timber in abundance), are for 21 years, with clauses for renewal for a further term of 21 years, under a royalty of 1-6th, commencing in February, 1853, unless the profits in the interim should exceed 17,0001. In addition to these valuable grants, the company has secured a contract for a lease for 42 years from Colonel Frement of 10 acres of land, upon which works will be erected for the extraction of gold, by crushing, grinding, and amalgamating, not only the ores from their own mines, bat generally in the re duction of the ores of the surrounding districts, by which alone a large revenue may be easily derived, and safely calculated upon. This view is confirmed in a letter from Colonel Fremont to Mr. Koffman (hie sole representative and duly authorised agent in England), as recently as the 15th May last, in which he deplores the inefficiency of the machinery hitherto employed; and it forms an important adjunct to the company having the valuable services and co-operation of Mr. Hoffman—the only company of this nature that he has or will consent to act in connexion with. We consider these facts enough to create confidence that this is in reality a legally granted and constituted company, legitimately formed for the purpose of effec tively working the property; and doubt, not the highly respectable parties from whom the prospectus emanates will readily find that support among their mining friends as will enable them to carry out the views they entertain of its prosperity. THE NEW NOVEL, "RAVENSCLIFFE." Br THE AUTHOR OF " EMILIA WYNDHAM."—There is no writer of the present day whose works are so generally appreciated for the purity of their tone and the sweetness of their pathos as the popular authoress of " Emilia Wyndham," and in her most recent production just published, under the title of "Ravenscliffe," we have learnt that besides these qualifica tions, she has exhibited a command over the delineation of human passim], which, in the intense interest thus given to one of the most powerfully wrought stories that ever issued from the press, throws all her former efforts into the shade. It is many years since a work of fiction appeared likely to create so powerful a sensatiou as "Ravenscliffe."—Evening Paper. Loss AND SINGULAR RECOVERY OF A SNUFF-BOT, AT SEA, FROM THE BELLY OF A SuaRK.--During the voyage of the last vessel but one dispatched with emigrants by the Female Emigration Society (the City of Manchester), on its way to Australia, an event occurred which is very re markable, and is well authenticated. About two months after the vessel had quitted England, a gentleman was one day standing near to the side of the ship, with his silver snuff-box in his hand, and was about taking a pinch ofsnuff, when the vessel suddenly lurched, and he dropped the snuff box into the sea. The next day the crew caught a shark, and on cutting him open, great was their astonishment at finding the identical snuff-box that had been lost on the pre vious day. It is needless to say that the owner was not less surprised at the restoration than at the manner and place in which it )tad been found. OMNIBUS FARES.—On Thursday the omnibuses on the Oxford-street line belonging to the London Convey ance and Paddington Association Companies, which have, since the reduction of the fares, carried passengers to and from the Marble Arch and Hatton-garden for 3d., were posted with bills announcing the reduction of the fare for the whole of this distance to 2d. This is the commencement of the regular omnibuses making a reduction to less than a moiety of the whole fare, and is generally considered as win d/Ft; the ultimate intention of the proprietors of the nu merous vehicles,on this road to reduce the fares generally, and to 4d. only for the entire journey to and from the City and West-end, in the same manner as the omnibuses on the Piccadilly and Strand line, and which would be an important concession to the very great number of passengers on this line of road. The who:e of the omnibuses on the New Road line from Paddington to the City have reduced the fares from and to three several points of the journey to the City on this long. established and important line of road. YANKEE INGENUITY.—A man in Connecticut ob tained a winter's supply of excellent potatoes in the follow ing 'cute nk.aner. He gave out word he was desirous of obtaining a specimen of the best sort of potatoes, and would pay three dollars for a peck f such, himself to be the judge. Potatoes poured into his cellar from all the country round, and when the avalanche had subsided, the man handed over his three dollars for the best peck, and the rext spring sold potatoes enough to more than cover the original outlay, be sides having had a first quality article for home use all winter. LIGHTFINGERED ATTENDANTS ON KossUTII.--- There is reason to believe that the movements of Kossuth have been tracked by the swell mobsmen, who appear to havo been tolerably successful in their speculation amid the great crowds which have greeted him. Some were recognised on the railway station at Manchester, on Tuesday at noon, and prudence led them to disappear speedily, hut at night, in the densely packed Free -trade Hall, they found ample scope for plying their avocations. One gentlemen, a member of the town council, lost M., and sixteen gold and silver watches were missing. Among the victimized, the brother of the Hon. Member for the West Rg fiures as despoiled Gen- tlenlan lost a valuable cameo breed. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, Nov. IC—Mates—William B. A.

That won't hurt anybody. Go a-head, old chap—we like to encourage a laudable spirit of adventure. I'll set fire to the fountain, And swallow up the fill; I'll eat up the mountain And be hungry still. Goodness gracious! is there no way to appease his wrath and stay his stomach? Must we suffer all this because he and his girl haven't anything to say to each other at present? No—ncver! Down with him—down with him! The rain shall fall upwards, The smoke tumble down I'll dye the grass purple, And paint the sky brown. Hear that! A pretty world this would be, truly, with the rain falling up, the smoke tumbling down, the grass dyed purple, and the sky painted brown! We might as well live in an old boot, with a dirty sole for the earth beneath, and brown upper leather for the heavens above. The sun I'll put out, With the whirlwinds play; Turn day into night, And sleep it away. There is no doubt, if he cuts that caper, the sun will feel as much " put out " a b out i t as we shall. We leave it to the whirlwinds to say whether they are to be trifled with or not; and as for his turning day into night, and sleeping it away, we would as lief he would as not—if he can do it. I'll flog the young earthquake, The weather I'll physic; Volcanoes I'll strangle, Or choke with the phthisic. Oh, oh! he dare not clinch in with an old he earthquake, and so he threatens to flog a " young an" of the neuter gender! Coward! why don't he take one of his own size! The moon I will smother, With nightmare and wo; For sport at each other The stars I will throw. Serves e'm exactly right! they have no business to be out when they ought to be a-bed. The rocks shall be preachers, The trees do the singing; The clouds shall be teachers, And the comets go spreeing. That's all well enough, except getting the comets upon a spree. We don't like that "pretty well." I'll tie up the winds In a bundle together, And tickle their ribs With an ostrich feather. Oh, crackeys ; now he does it! We didn't think it lay in the gizzard of mortal man to do half as mach. Really, we think such a desperate and dangerous individual ought to be caught, cast into a spider's web, and safely guarded by one flee, two mosquitoes, and a vigilant wood-louse. There is no knowing what the chap may do. OLD CHURCH, LAMBETH.—The work of com pleting the internal fittings of this restored and chastely ele gant structure have been somewhat delayed by the compul sory absence, owing to severe indisposition, of the rector. The galleries are in the course of construction, and the ap pliances for the hot-water apparatus for warming the church nearly effected. By the new arrangement of the pews, no less than 500 extra free sittings will be added to the number which previously existed; and further, three pews on each side of the centre isle, immediately below the reading-de.,k and the pulpit respectively, will be devoted to the use of aged and infirm poor, whose advanced years have brought upon them deficiency of sight and hearing, and call for additional care and comfort. A stained glass window, the donation of the young gentlemen of the parish, of whom the son of Mr. Churwarden Taylor was one, has already been perfected, and but little doubt is entertained that the whole will be so filled. En passant, we ought to mention that with respect to the one over that part of the church known as the Howard Chapel, a communication has been opened by the church wardens with the Duke of Norfolk, as the heal of the Howard', Fleeing it at his disposal, should he be pleased to devote it to an ancestral record. His Grace, we understand, has directed inquiries by his agents, but as yet has not re turned a definite reply. A new marble font of stupendous dimensions, and designed in exquisite taste, has been pre sented by Sir Charles Young, the Garter King of Arms, and his brother, Dr. Young. THE RAMSHAY INCJIRY.--PRESTON, Nov. 14. The examination of witnesses on behalf of Mr. Ramshay was resumed this morning. The public interest had so com pletely subsided that not more than fifty persons were in attendance at the opening of the court. After our parcel was dispatched yesterday, three other witnesses were brought forward—Mr. Hughes, solicitor; Mr. Edward Willan, sta tioner, and Mr. .I,ohn. Forbes. Their evidence was in sub stance eorroboratii , e of that given by previous witnesses, as to Mr. Ramshay's general ability and demeanour, which was stated to be all that was befitting a judge. The evi dence adduced to-day was of a similar purport, and the wit nesses were still under examination when our parcel was dispatched. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at the Charing-cross Hospital, on the body of Mr. Henry Palmer Parry, aged sixty-one. The de ceased was town traveller to a wine merchant, in Tower- Hung street, and on last F when an riday was crossing th e S trand, opposite erford-street, omnibus came up, and the driver called out to him to get out of the way. A lady who was with him reached the pavement, but he unfortunately turned back and was knocked down by the pole of the car riage, the wheels passing over his stomach. He was taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, and seen by Dr. Dalton, the house-surgeon, who suspected that rupture of the bladder had taken place, and he died on Tuesday. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." A party applied on the part of the widow for a.return of the sum of 271., which the de ceased had with him at the time of the accident, but it ap peared the money had been paid to Mr. Parry's brother. The coroner said he could offer ne advice, for he might have made a will. SUICIDE AT TorrExuAla. — Yesterday an inuest was held by M r. Baker, at the Bell and Hare, Totten q ham, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Tuck, aged 66, of High street, Tottenham. The deceased was surveyor of the local board and tax -gatherer of the parish. He had for somei past complained cf a pain in his head, which was at inter vals so severe that it caused him to stagger while a walking. He was also very low spirited.

TevikesLury, Nov. 14, 1851. Six,—having seen a leading article in your paper of the 10th instant, respectieg a police report at the Man sion-house on Friday and Saturday, the 7th and Bth instant, concerning Richard King Fletcher, a white smith from Tewkesbury, at that time in the employ of Mr. James Chadnor White, harness manufacturer, of Liverpool-street, London, we beg to say that Fletcher's statement in that report is not correct. The circum stances of the case are as follow: The rate was granted on the 11th day of April last, and personally demanded of Fletcher, previously to his leaving Tewkesbury, by Mr. Daniel Chandler, collector of the poor-rates, who also served him with a printed notice, that unless the amount of his rate was paid by a certain day he would be summoned without further notice. He left Tewkesbury on the 13th day of June, the whole of the rate being expended, and another rate igararjndo n o tedi n n , July. He was atterwards appli e d to b y l etter as was also his employer, Mr. White, from neither of whom an answer could be obtained. At the 45 f ollowing audit the auditor demanded the reaso n w h y t h e 28 ;03 rate was not paid, the overseer stated that a sum )63 mons had been taken out and served upon his ; 15 wife in Tewkesbury, and after that a distress warrant B:stti:' pencewhich y ,e and t to r t levy h ha ad ; " 4 1 against his goods had been issued, and a messenger sent ,72 therewith to London, who could not find any effects upon /2 had n ot any alternative but to proceed in a legal ~, manner that it was a case of pounds, shillings, and t t b h eh e een nuditor replied that the parish officers Fletcher states thatewo ,ot and expenses. madeuhledn to n h not e t l recoverepfats sT theTewke s bury w h ek eamountsbury accounts hoef u rw n sa l t e l 10 La so poor that he was not able to pay his rate, although 70 the day previous to his departure he received from one :C9 2 , ° 5 , of the overseers the sum of four 31 lings, for a sow and pigs sold : b on u e sie o e f ee th e e f p a ri w nc h i i p t a e l eni s i t t r h ee e t se , dwher Up to the time iso of leaving Tewkesbury, he resitdoedhim. guns on his own an pohunds and ten s.lail -151 in a front house in 70 the employment of Mr. White (forpwosheeoshaoof a:.s e ta e t s ed rr t ied on the ;04 count, and left for the express fh en e te h r a i d ng er in ig W i. nauftltUrnaiture was byl o removed h im , lun dt4113 seeko r Wally t w foor gu i neasw worked ork, i in HisTe r e w k week,e s b householduar n y d ) , you willteagree from Tewkesbury about the time he left.

The actual sum which was given away during tbo last y ear, i n the immediate objects of the Corporation, was 14,2924, viz.: —To 189 poor and worthy clergymen, suffering under sick ness, mental affliction, the infirmities of age, or the expe nses of large families, 3,5504; to 444 widows of clergymen, in pensions and donations, 4,4154; to 419 aged and helpless orphan, unmarried daughters of clergymen, also, in pensions and donations, 3,7601.; to five adult sons, under peculiar and very distressing cir cumstances, 454; for apprenticing forty-one children, 1,3154; and for outfits to sixty-seven others, 1,2074 These particulars cannot fail to interest many of your readers, and I wish that whilst the Corporation has been enabled, by the confidence of the public, to effect so much good, there did not remain a great many cases of distress which the funds were inadequate to relieve.
