Published this day, square foolscap Bvo., Bs. boards ; ISs. bound in morocco, by Mayday, a Second Edition of LADY UtIPY'S' DTARY, London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. • A meeting of the inhabitants of Mitcham and other plats adjoining the river \Yamlle, from whence the above Coinpany propose to take their supply for the metropolis, was held uo Wednesday, at the White 'Hirt, Mitcham, for the purpose of considering the proposedschefne. Last year a similar compaay was formed, but, owing to the opposition of the mill-ow hers upon the stream and the inhabitants, the scheme was aban doned. The present Company have somewhat modified their original plan, •and they propose, instead of taking the wiiter from the course of the stream, so as to affect the operation of the mills, they will take it at Wandsworth, at its junction with the river Thames,:the water being filtered and purified during its course. Mr. D. C. Porter took the chair. MeiSrs. Bridger, Finden, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and complained of the conduct of the Company in. having departed from their original plan of building a.sewer to carry off the impurities of the river, and proposing ;netted to have " catch_ponds," or _cesspools, at different plates near the river, some of them being nearly an acre in extent. The speakers objected very much to these cesspools, which they said there could be no doubt would be highly injurious to the health of those who lived in the neighbourhood. Mr. Thomp son, the Surveyor, and Mr. Galsworthy,,the solicitor to the Company, on being called upon for an explanation, admitted that there had been a deviation from the original plan by substituting the cesspools, or catch ponds, for the sewer; but they said that the reason for this was, that the mill owners were opposed to the erection of the sewer because they feared that the water would be • occasionally taken Nom the river to cleanse the sewer, and that they should thus IGO, their mill power. After several gentlemen had addressed*,le meeting, resolutions condemnatory of the present, ta me were passed unanimously by the meeting. ROYAL HUMANE. SOCIETY. This Society held its annual meeting on Wednesdav, at its rooms in Trafalgar-square, Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., in the chair. From the report,of the proceedings of the Society we learn that, in the year just ended 179 accidents had come under the attention of the Society, in 152 of which its exer tions had been successful, and in only 25 unsuccessful ; of the whole 40 were suicides. The Society had distributed in the year 18 silver medals, and 14 bronze medals; the thanks of the Society written upon vellum had been given to twu persons, and pecuniary rewards in 107 cases. The Society had received various donations and legacies in the course of the year, including a legacy of 3001. from Miss Williams, 100/. from W. Drew, Esq., and a legacy of 700/. from W. Grantharn„Esq. A vote of thanks was passed to the Duke of Northumber land, the President of the Society, and his Grace was unani mously re-elected President for the ensuing year. Votes of thanks were also severally passed to the various other officers of the Society, all of whom were re-elected. The Society made the following awards :• Its silver medallion to John Merton, for having at Barnard Castle saved the lives of two youths, named Robinson and Hill. To Dr. Creighton, of Dublin, its silver medallion, for having rescued a woman who had attempted to commit suicide, she being the third person whose life had been saved by the courage and energy of Dr. Creighton. Its _silver medallion to Lieut. Henderson; of the Rifle Brigade, for having saved the life of an artilleryman who had fallen out of a boat in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia. Its silver medallion to Hammond Max ted, for having rescued W. White, when in danger of being drowned from the rising of the sea at Margate. Its silver medallion to Miss Sarah Wilkinson, governess in the family of a clergyman, for, saving the life of a child in her charge who had fallen into a river. Its silver medallion to Mr. Geary, mate of her Majesty's ship Beason, for having saved the life of a seaman of tha; vessel, who had been knocked overboard while reefing the' mainsail in a gale of wind. Its silver medallion to Mr. Ramson, a commercial tra veller, for saving the life of a boy who had got out of his depth whilst bathing, and for again entering the water, after having brought the first boy out, though he succeeded only in bringing the lifeless body of a second boy to the shore.

And the Government hails this addition, by which The public exchequer will soon become rich. The fiscal return. which have lately been made Are proofs of decided improvement , n trade. Many arch politicians have tried to di-cern Toe cause of ro pleasing a quarter's return. Some ascribe it to this cause, and others to that, But none of them seem to know what to be at.

Their clothes are so cheap that the public are able To purchase additional needful% at t tble. And ti us the good reade• will clearly discern How the increase is made in the quarter's return.

OPINIONS OF TUE PRESS, " We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by a ma'ority of the me dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering Irom indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus. _ . " The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous . tyle in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

At the Wolverton station some preparation had been made for the recep.ion of her Majesty and the Prince, The platform of the station was covered with crim son cloth, and on the opposite side (that is to say on the " down" line) there was accommodation for the public, who were admitted by tickets. The special train arrived at Wolverton at ten minutes to two o'clock. As it slowly move d up to the st4tioll her Majesty was received with loud cheers by the spectators. A company of the Buekinghernshire militia were drawn. up on the platform on one side of the entrance to,140; Majesty's apartment, and en the other side two squadrons of the Bucks Yeomanry, dismounted, were posted. Her Majesty, the Prince, and their Rite having alighted, proceeded, attended by the Marquis of Chandos, and some of the officers of the railway, to the apartments prepared for their use. The room, provided for her Majesty and the Prince were on the first. floor, those for the suite were on the ground-floor. In each refresh. ments wire provided. After the lapse of about twenty minutes it was intimated that the royal travellers were ready to prope.ed, and almost immediately after they entered the carriages, which had been dralvii up at the hack of the station, Here a body of the Bucks Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Major Lucas, was drawn up, being the first of the troops appointed to escort her Majesty to Stowe. The distance from Wolverton to Stony Stratford is about three miles. At almost every point on the way people were collected, some on foot, and many in vehicles of different kinds, who loudly cheered as the carriages passed. There were two triumphal arches be tween Wolverton and Stratford. There were in the town of Stony Stratford altogether five triumphal arches, some larger and handsomer than the others, but ell, proving the loyalty and liberality of those who had gone to the trouble and expense of erecting them. As the royal col tege approached to within about half a mile of Buckingham the horses were changed, and at this point the royal outriders were replaced by two outriders in the Duke's livery. From the hill, just beyond where the road winds round, the town of Buckingham looks pretty and almost picturesque. On the present occasion it presented a scene of great animation and gaiety. A little further on, the first arch of the town of Bucking ham was seen. The royal party here proceeded at a slow pace, and were greeted with deafening cheers. The arch bore the inscription, " Hail beloved Queen!" Her Majesty passed under this arch at a quarter to three. The town of Buckingham itself vied with other places which have been similarly honoured by her Majesty, in exhibiting all possibl e external marks of welcome and respect. A procession of the authorities and people of the town was formed for the purpose of receiving her Majesty and the Prince, and accompanying them through the town. The procession formed at the Town-hall at one o'clock. .It consisted of a detachment of yeomanry, commanded by Colonel Barnard, followed by a number of the borough police, and a band playing the national anthem. Immedi a t e l y after came a body of the gentry and clergy of the county. They were followed by a body of the inhabitants of Buckingham, the corporate officers, the Members for the Bor. ugh, the members of the Town Council, the Aldermen, the Borough Magistrates and the Clerk of the Peace, the Town Clerk, the Mayor, and the Chaplain. These preceded the Royal cortege, which was followed by a procession of the trades of the town and different societies. In the Market-place the ceremony of delivering up the corporate insignia of the town was performed. The Mayor, Mr. Henry Smith, advanced to the carriage in which her Majesty and the Prince were, and tendered • to the Queen the mace on a cushion. The Mayor said—" May it please your Majesty to ac cept this mace, which I, as Mayor of this ancient and loyal borough, humbly present in dutiful submission to your Majesty's royal prerogative and authority," To this the Queen renlied, returning the mace, " Mr. Mayor, I beg you will 'keep it. I am much gratified with my reception in this borough." The cheers of the people, who filled the Market-place in masses, were deafening. The entrance-gate of the avenue leading to Stowe called the Long-drive, which is more than a mile and a half in length was passed through by the royal party immediately after leaving the last arch erected by the people of Buckingham. Here the Members (including Sir Thomas Fremantle), the clergy, and other authori ties, were drawn up on ether side. There were also parties of the yeomanry and a band. At a short dis tance further, where there is a rise in the ground, yougain from an eminence the first view of the magnificent man sion now honoured by her Majesty's presence. In a few [minutes the royal cortege entered the avenue which leads to the north front of the house, between two pavilions of great size ornamented with sculpture. At this point a new feature presented itself. A vast body of horsemen, tenants of the Duke, were ranged on each side of the way, their hats ornamented with green bands, on which were inscribed the words " God save the Queen." These horsemen closed in after the proces sion, and followed in a thick column up to the house. This junction of the tenantry had a very imposing sight. At the north, or chief entrance to the mansion, the Duke of Buckingham was waiting to receive her Ma jesty, which he did by advancing to the carriage door when her Majesty drove up. The Duchess was on the steps, where a temporary canopy had been projected from the portico, to protect her Majesty as she alighted. The semi-circular court-yard, which is before the north front of the mansion, was one vast mass of persons, chiefly horsemen. Extending from the one side to the other of the semicircle was a line of labourers in white snaockfrocks. There were also some of the yeomanry, and a band playing the national anthem. The cheers of the people, as her Majestyalighted, were deafening. Her Majesty and the Prince, after having been re ceived by their noble host and hostess, were conducted through the hall, which is of noble proportions, - and filled with valuable pictures, bronzes, altorelievos, and marbles into the saloon, from which they passed to the left wing of the mansion, in which are situated the rooms appropriated to the private use of the royal visitors. These apart ments are fitted up in a style of lavish magnificence. Most of those who have visited Stowe will remember the "Rembrandt" room, the walls of which are covered with some of the finest works of that painter. This is her Majesty's bed-room. The drawing-rooms and other apartments appropriated to the use of the royal visitors, as distinguished from the staterooms, are furnished in the most rich and exquisite style. It is understood that her Majesty's visit will be com paratively private. The number of guests in the house, exclusive of the family of the noble host, will not exceed twenty four or twenty-five. The dinner party this evening consist s , b es id es h er lie Maje sty Duke o and the Buckingham, line e , Lo Duchessrd and Lady of Delawarr, of the Buckiugham, t Lord and Lady Jersey, the Marchioness of Douro, Lord Nugent, Lord and Lady Orkney, Lady Peel, Sir R.

The Fothergillian medal, value fifty guineas, was awarded to Mr. Erickson, for his admirable experimental treatise on the pathology and treatment of asphyxia. A similar medal, was given to Dr. Key Shuttleworth, for a treatise on the same anbject. The account of the annual proceedings of the branch society at Brighton was then laid on the table, and a vote of thanks passed to the Rev. J. S. M; Anderson, the Honorary Secretary of that branch. The finance accounts of the year showed that the total rev'elpts were 2,5591. 4s. Id. ; the expenditure was, for sala ries, printing, &c., 1,7841. 12s.

A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Bond Cabbell, as Chairman, and he was respectfully solicited to allow his name to be enrolled among the Vice-Presidents of the So, ciety, for which honour he thanked the meeting, which then separated. IRELAND. • ARCHBISHOP MURRAY AND HIS CLERGY. Durmni, JAN. 14.—The following " Address of the undersigned clergy to his Grace the Most Rev. Dr, Murray' appears in the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon. Following the publication of the receipt of the Propaganda, this address will produce a considerable sensation. It is signed by fifty.five clergymen of the diocese of Dublin, and it remains open fur further signs - .ures " My Lord Archbishop, may it please your Grace,—We, he undersigned clergy, officiating in the diocese of Dublin, approach your Grace with feelings of profound veneration, rejoicing that the appearance of your recent pastoral, ad dressed to us all, affords us the opportunity of thus publicly and solemnly testifying the deep-felt sentiments of obedience• veneration, and love which we have always borne, and now! more than ever bear, towards your Grace. " You are, my Lord, under the vicar of Jesus Ch r i s t, the pastor of us all. To you we have all, on the awful day of our ordination, and kneeling before the altar of the living God, promised ' OBEDIENCE and REVERENCE.' From th obligations which we then contracted no power on earth but that of the Sovereign Pontiff can exempt us ; and, with the assistance of Divine grace, no other power, nor any other powers together, shall ever be able to diminish in the smallest degree, much less to extinguish, the feelings of obedience and reverence which, as well from inclination as from a sense of duty, we entertain towards you...our beloved father, our venerable bishop. "A day of trouble has come upon us, and the spirit evil, which is always lying in wait to destroy, has assaulted with unwonted fury the Church of God which is in this diocese, The most unfounded and horrifying calumnies have been cir culated among the people, as well against your Grace as against some of your Grace's clergy, Attempts have been made in many ways, both covertly and openly, to sow bitter dissension among the faithful, and to alienate their affec tions and their confidence from their lawful pastors, from the clergy who are appointed to instruct them, to feed them with the blood of Christ, and to watch over them, as having to render an account 4 their souls. Attempts have been made to overawe us into the adoption of particular opinions, and a particular line of conduct—to overawe us by popular clamour, and by a dread of encountering what, it is well understood, we would of all things, neXt after the violation of our duty towards our bishop and the Church, be most ari 3 Sloas to avoia—the indignation, the odium, the distrust of our beloved people—of our people in whose hearts we have hitherto lived, tor whose salvation we have so often rislsed our lives at the bed of pestilence, and for whom, whatever may betide, we shall rejoice to risk our lives a thousand and a thou,- sand times again, What is particularly afflicting is, that the faithful have allowed themselves to be thus led astray tik men, some of whom are not even in name members of the Catholic Church. These things hay net made us despond;; for we know that Pelt trials, arid far more grievou s t r i a l, have been the portion not only of particular churches, tut of the Universal Church from the be g i nn i ng , an d that her triumph over them is among the strongest proofs that Gold is her rotector "all days, even to the consummation oft le world.' But we have been oppressed with grief in witnesi log the inroad of principles and feelings that are not of God, nor according to God, among our beloved peopl e , an d the alienation, however brief, between them and any of us. Tin these our afflictions our eyes were turned longingly towards your Grace, You are placed by God, through the appoin - ment of the Holy See, to govern us who are of your tack, o v lguide and teach us. Y ou are our s h ep h er d ' w h ose voice e are bound to hear— that is, to obey, In this day of trial, when the authority of the good pastor is especially needed, and his apostolical courage especially tested, we have watch 'd to hear your voi c e. We have heard it spe a ki ng t o us calm sr and meekly, but disti nc tly an d so l emn l y ; an d your words have filled our hearts with heavenly consolation, and joy 9- ceedisgly great. . " It is now more than half a century since your Greed's career in the ministry began, and nearly forty years since your elevation to the episcopacy. During that long, and, from the circumstances of the times, most trying period, re ligion had flourished with increasing vigour and purity under your councils and example. Churches worthy the majesty of religion have been raised in all parts of the diocese. Con fraternities and approved practices of devotion have been introduced and established. Institutions, like that of the missionaries of St. Vincent or Paul, sources of salvation to millions yet unborn, not only in this, but in every diocese of the kingdom, have been formed and protected by your Grace, in some instances not only unaided, but, as many of us well know, against powerful and most dis heartening opposition, and even obloquy and slander. Religious orders of men and women, which some whose public lives prove that they care very little for religion, now accuse you of betraying what you have always warmly encouraged and promoted. To you we are indebted for the establishment of the Sisters of Charity, the Sisters of MereY, and the Brothers of the Christian Schools among us. For the illustrious order of the Jesuits you have always had the highest esteem and tenderest regard. The more distin guished members of this and of other religious orders have, it is well known, in some instances, enjoyed more of your Grace's confidence than members of your own clergy.. Net a single instance can be shown in which you have ever, by word or act, exhibited the least opposition or discouragement, directly or indirectly, to any of these orders. As to ourselves, we are bound to attribute whatever claims we have upon a good name, under God, to the model of priestly virtue which we have always bad before our eyes ie the example of your Grace, as well as to your salutary admonitions and regula tions. In former times, when attempts were really made for, the undisguised and avowed object of destroying the liberties of our Church, your Grace for many years stood the first In the foremost rank of danger in the defence of those liberties; and now, while we are being trampled down by another des-' potism, which threatens to annihilate all freedom of opinion and action—and while we are doomed to feel that, if we dare to utter our conscientious opinions, we must expect to be over whelmed with a torrent of slander and clamour—and while we hear the right which the Holy Ghost has ,conferred upon your Grace of teaching your own flock denied publicly, and in the most insulting manner, by some of that flock, and your people ieduced to despise your Grace's teaching, and to receive the teaching of men, some of whom are not Catholics—when sve see the people publicly, and, as we know, still more privately, taught to distrust the integrity of the Holy See, and which l a m re bibe doctrines regardnig the authority of•th;'3l 4o Pe , _ ail this, at variance with Catholic faith ;—when w see iiii this, awl behold your Grace exhibiting the same apostolic courage in opposition to the tyranny w hict i t_ensla, v m es t u e s ned nos t r o , which you exhibited against the tyranny 4 R reserved thanks to veslave us in former times, we return o your Grace the Giver of all good things, to these days for the defence oft h h ° o? h C a i s m p rch's true freedom. " We, therefore, my Lord, receive iour pastoral iustrUb tions, not only with unfeigned submission, but with joy ; 44 we rejoice more than we can ex p ress, that a u eppertuntty is thus Presence)} to pa of of f . mg y e to 00 Qrace the cousolation P such as it is, of this testimony of our filial love for your Grace personally, of our undiminished reverence and obedience to your Grace's authority, and of our increased aonfidence in your Grace's wisdom and zeal. "As the disciple whom Jesus loved used in his old days to address his flock in the language of charity—' My little children, love one another'—so has your Grace, now so venerable from your years and your merits, bequeathed to us the same divine lesson of fraternal love. It shall be our constant study to adopt this heavenly maxim in our own conduct, and to communicate the influence thereof, as well by example as by words, to those to whom we minister. We do not hope to see the spirit of discord which now pre vails speedily and completely laid ; for we know that the Devil, the world, and the flesh, shall continue to exercise their influence more or less. But we are happy to be able to inform your Grace that your words have already pro duced much good fruit, and, notwithstanding the strong efforts of deceitful and evil-minded men, are still producing good fruit. " For the rest, my Lord, you do not req u i r e our encourage ment or approval. Your strength is from on high, whence your authority is derived. Ecclesiastical history abounds in examples of holy bishops who had to encounter, in de fence of the liberty of the Church, far more grievous per secution than your Grace has been yet subjected to. God alone knows what sufferings are yet in store for you; but sure we are, that as, like St. P au l, you know not the things which shall befal You,' so you can manfully declare with the same Apostle—' t fear none of these things, neither do I count my life inure precious than myself, so that I may con summate niy course and the ministry of the word, which I g re r c a e c i e ve o d f G fr o r .,. ie cts Lo x r x d . J 2 e 2 s -24 testify the gospel of the " Alas ! how daring is the spirit of disobedience. It is no longer content with assailing the venerable successor of St. Lawrence ; it is no long er sat i s fi e d w i t h appealing to the passions of the most ignorant and excitable portion of the people to overawe the canonical authority of the bishop in his own diocese, but it is now openly endeavouring to engen der a feeling of disaffection even towards the common father of the faithful, Gregory XVI., and to diminish the love and reverence of the Irish Catholics for the Apostolic See—the centre of Catholic unity, to which they have clung with desperate fidelity for 1,400 years. It is in this way the crafty spirit of impiety , always commences its attack on religion. It first alienates their affections from the clergy, and then robs them of their faith. The assault upon the successor of St. Peter, and visible head of the Church, ie commenced in the same manner, and conveyed through the same channels as that which has been directed against your Grace. But whether or not the councils of the wicked shall continue to prevail, and the shafts of slander continue to be directed against you, we at least shall cling closely to you, and through you, as the connecting link, to the centre of Catholic unity. You are our bishop—we are your clergy. You will cling to the " Successor of Peter and Damascus ;" and we will cling to you. You are our pastor; your voice we shall always lovingly hear. You are our good father, from whom we have never experienced a harsh word, of harsh exercise of authority. We are your children, and shall not leave your grey hairs, and your aged and anointed head, to be buffetted and spit upon. In the day of your suffering we shall suffer with you • and, as the blessed Law rence desired to follow his venerable Bishop, Xystus, to mar tyrdom, so, if even that trial should come upon you, we desire to share it with you.

Kilcullen.' CHARITABLE BEQUESTS ACT. The following resolutions have been adopted by fifty eight of the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese of Cork, The Cork Examiner says that this comprises all the rural clergy of the diocese, with two exceptions, and that separate resolutions are to be adopted by the clergy of that city : " That we deplore the interference, in any manner, of the Legislature or Government in the concerns or discip line of the Roman Catholic religion in this country. " That in an especial manner we protest against the Charitable Bequests' Bill, as containing clauses irrecon cilable with the usages and discipline of the Catholic Church, highly offensive to the Catholic clergy of Ire land in general. and particularly injurious to those of the religious orders, as also unwisely and unnecessarily tending to frustrate the benevolent intentions of the faith ful, and to deprive them of that right in the disposal of property, to which they are j ust l y and constitutionally entitled.' FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE PIKENIX PARK. Mr. Davis, one of the county coroners, has received the following letter, in reply to a communication trans mitted by that gentleman to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, together with the finding of the Coroner's inquest in the case of the children who were drowned at Knockmaroon-hill on Saturday se'nnight : " Office of Woods, &c., Jan. 11, 1845.

" The Commissioners have directed an investigation of the moat rigid kind to be forthwith instituted into the causes which have led to this accident. and in the mean time have issued directions for such assistance as may be immediately necessary for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers on this occasion being rendered.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " CHARLES GORE, " Henry Davis, Esq., 71, Dame-street, Dublin."

OUTRAGES IN ROSCOMMON.—On Thursday night, about eight o'clock, four ruffians, one ariped with a gun, ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A • WIFE BY HER lIUSIIAND, AND HIS SUI CIDE. On Wednesday, John Clements, a wool-stapler, of Little George-street, adjacent to the Grange-road, Bermondsey attempted to murder his wife by cutting her throat, and afterwards destroyed himself. It appears that Clements was in the employ of Mr. Elkerton, wool-stapler, in the Grange walk, Bermondsey, since June last, and that he oecupied i , with his family, consisting of a wife and three children, a, ready-furnished first-floor, at No. 24, Little George-strev... For some time past he had exhibited depression of spirits,. He complained of being unwell on Wednesday before t e went to work, and returned bet Ore his usual time, heti'', e ee , ten and eleven, and requested his wife to make hip; some tea. At this period their eldest son, about thirtenen years of age, was in the room, and he was sent to tha public-house for a pint of porter. In about a minute after the lad quitted the house the landlady, a Mrs. Putinar, Was alarmed by hearing a loud scream, followed by the noise of some person falling heavily on the floor immediately over the room in which she was sitting. There was a knock at the street-door at this moment, and a young man named Bond was let in ; as he entered, Mrs. Clements came running down stairs with her throat cut, and the blood gushing from the wound. When she got into the pas sage, she fell from exhaustion into the arms of Bond, ejaculating, " For God's sake, call a doctor !" Bond them carried her into the back parlour, and hurried away to the police-station. Two policemen were immediately sent to the house, but, upon their entering the room, Clements was dis oovered lying on the floor in a pool of blood, with his throat cut nearly from ear to ear, and a razor, with which he per petrated the deed, lay at his side. A medical man speedily arrived, but the unfortunate man was quite dead. Mrs. Cle ments was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, and will probably recover. Her account of the occurrence, as well as she could; recollect from the haste in which it was carried into erect, was, that her husband had been complaining for some daps of his head, and being in arrear of rent to his landlord, it seemed to weigh on his mind, and on the preceding nigtit he awoke out of his sleep in a fright, and said to his wail that the officers were going to apprehend him. When lie subse quently returned from his employer's premises, arid while she was engaged in toasting a piece of bread at the fire, he sud denly turned upon her and drew the razor across her throat. She felt the blood trickling down her neck, and with an effort she rushed out of the room, before he had time to repeat the act, The unfortunate deceased must have destroyed himself immediately afterwards. It appears that the deceased came up from the country about seven months ago with his family, and that he was a sober and industrious man. He had no previous quarrel with his wife. FIRE and LOSS of LIFE at BATA. In the course of Wednesday, accounts were received. at the several fire-insurance offices in the City from the agents at Bath, respecting a very destructive fire, unhappily attended with fatal consequences, which took place in that city on the morning of Monday last. It appears that the at tention of the police was drawn to a quantity of smoke issu ing from the crevices of the parlour-shutters of the Horse and Jockey public-house, in the occupation of Mr. !Um], situate in Barton-street, Queen-square. The inmates were. promptly apprised of the danger they were in, and on the landlord coming down stairs and opening the parlour.door, he discovered that the whole of the interior of that apartrhent was on fire. Owing to the sudden draft of air, the flames quickly spread through the premises, and after it was thought that the residents had all made their escape, it was ascer tained that a Mrs. Ann Cross, a bedridden old lady, 78 years of age. was lying in a helpless state in bed in a front room on the first floor. One of the servants made two attempts to save the unfortunate creature, which proving unsuccessful, a workman, by means of a ladder, entered the room by the window. He succeeded, after much difficulty, in getting the afflicted woman out of the bed, but owing to her great cor pulency he was unable to lift her from the ground, and end ing that the floor was giving way underneath him, he was forced to leave her and make a hasty retreat by the window; In a few minutes afterwards the fire gained the room, when her cries were distinctly heard—" Oh save me, oh save me," which created the deepest sensation. The flames continued to rage with unabated fury, and in less than an hour the whole building was consumed. In the course of the day the burnt remains of the poor sufferer were collected. An in quest was held, and a verdict of " Accidental death" has been returned. The premises were insured in the Sun Fire-oflice for 1,0001. THE ROYAL NAVY. ARRIVAL OF MORE CHINESE MONEY. The Pelican sloop, 16, Commander Philip Joshes, has ar rived at Portsmouth, from China, with another instalment of the Chinese indemnity. She caused some consternation at Portsmouth on Monday evening about eight o'clock. On coming into Spithead she grounded on the Kicker Point, off Fort Monckton, when she fired a number of guns and threw up several rockets. The signal was soon answered by the Victory in the harbour, and the Comet steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Prettyman, and a number of boats, went out to her assistance, and as it was low water when she took the ground, she was got off about midnight, without damage. The master was sick, and a pilot had been talon in at Weymouth to carry the vessel into Port. Captain Rowley, of the St. Vincent, 120, flag ship, went on board the Pelican yesterday morning, and mustered her crew, and at noon she was towed into harbour by the Comet, where she remains. The Pelican left Hong-Kong on the 3d of August, with a freight of 1,000,000 dollars. She beat down against the south-west monsoon, and anchored in Angier Roads on 19th of September. She had been in company with the Harlequin, 16, Commander Hon. G. F. Hastings, and, finding the Pelican to be in a leaky state, half her money was trans ferred to the Harlequin, and, while the latter sloop pro ceeded on her voyage to England, the Pelican went to Ba tavia to repair damages. Having arrived at the island of Onrust, she was immediately taken into the dockyard at Ba tavia, where the ship was careened, and fifty feet of plank perfectly rotten and worm-eaten, just below the light-load water line on the larboard side, was replaced by sound wood. and in ten days she was ready for sea. The Dutch Admiral, the commandant, and other authorities at Batavia, behaved in the most handsome manner towards the officers of the Pe lican, facilitating the repairs of the sloop, and showing - every courtesy and attention to their wants. The Pelican departed from Onrust, her ship's company much gratified with their reception, on the sth of October, watered at Angier, and finally left Java Head on the 9th of that month, and an chored at the Cape of Good Hope on the 15th of November. A transport has just anchored in Table Bay, with the 57th regiment on board, bound to India. She had been eleven weeks on her voyage from England. The George the FoUrth„ tea ship, was about to leave the Cape for .

TION OF GUANO.—The steam-packet Waterwitch, arriving at Hull, from London, on Wednesday, brought into port the master and crew of the barque Ann, Storey, of Sun derland, who had been picked up by the packet in an open boat, to which they bad taken on the destruction of their vessel, near Hasborough Sand, on Tuesday evening. It appears by the, statement of the shipwrecked men that the Ann, a new barque, on the first voyage, was returning from Ichaboe with a cargo of guano, and unfortunately struck on the sand, and, while beating over, shipped • quantity of salt water, which, penetrating the cargo, caused almost instantaneous combustion. A volume of smoke rising through the fore hatchway warned the crew of this now danger, and, induced their taking immediately to the boat, without saving anything but themselves ; and scarcely had they done so, when a tremendous explosion of the gas. engendered by the partially fired guano blew the stern oat of the vessel, which then sankfillebiaonngdgto the same wnv in deep water. o It s: is said that three v e ssel s , in started to g ether on this voyage, one which was lost orA 'the pas ua sage or o t u un t, a an te theAnda left the slau thiniha i dno d., tarrN ffu -ie il d pac atl k c e h e ok . w h en the , I q. xi) Published this day,tvo., 15s. cloth, ATREATISE on the PRINCIPLES and PRACTICAL INFLUENCE of TAXATION and tho FuNp -1N(1 §IYsTN•f. 13y J, 13, M'ctrl4.lo9l.l l Pt(t, 141 1 )40 ; Lionlgnm, PcPWR, a gn, and Longmans.
