No change in the Derby betting NEWMARKET, TUESDAY NIGHT, TEN O'CLOCK. Struggles of a Book," has established this beyond the possibility of a question. But this is by no means its only demerit. it checks the growth of manufacture and the progress of commerce; it limits the employ ment of labour arid the exercise of invention ; and, finally, it prevents the influx into the Exchequer of a larger amount by much than that which it raises by means so injurious to the public at large. Of the duties on articles in general consumption recommended for removal by Sir Henry Parnell's Committee, the excise on paper is the only one which remains. We have repeatedly had occasion to show that the repeal of this tax would largely in crease production, tee meet both the demands of the borne and of the foreign markets. The establish ment of new mills in the agricultural districts as well as in towns would employ both infant and adult labour to an extent little contemplated by those who have not examined the question with the care to which it is entitled. Increased envloyment would necessarily give rise to increased consumption of other exciseable articles, and thus feed the revenue. One fact is worth a thousand arguments. Here are soma words extracted from a letter now before us, and written by a most respectable and experienced paper manufacturer in Scotland : "In regard to the Americans—first, they are now supplying our colonies in their neighbourhood, where we used to ship every spring 4,000 to 6,000 reams, a conaidera'ale portion t f which was "news ; " we now do not ship even a ream. Canada is supplied almost exclusively by the States. So much for free trade there. 2d. They are (that is, the Americans) buying up all the materials they can get in this market, as well as Liverpool, Dublin, Sligo, Limerick, every where ; and when once their screw ships are at work, every - scription of material will go to them, and at a low freight, and be so quickly delivered that the present risk of fermentation from long passages will be at an end. This is not all. Our best hands are leaving us, and go ing to the States ' • they are getting higher wages, be cause, the trade being witramelled, they can afford to give them. , " Two first-rate machine men sail from this to-mor row—engaged passage fre-3. and agrced for twelve months at seven dollars per week. There are also seve ral engineers going, and about ten of our men have gone within the last two years. They are continually writing home for more to go out to them. So you see how our trade is going down in one or two ways. All our cold. vies—even the East Indies—win, in a little time, be sup plied by the Americans, I do verily believe; and all this may, in a great degree, be attributed to the trarnme:s of our fiscal regulations." This picture is in nothing overdrawn. "It has been computed," says an able pamphlet, " that the repeal of the paper duty would give employment to 40,000 additional persons in London alone, besides a vast number in the country ; and to these may be added a considerable increase in the numbers employed in the business of publishing and printing, including folders, stitchers, bookbinders. &c., comprising chil dren and adults of both sexes." " There - are also," continues the same author, " numerous manufactures, such as millboard, card board, papier-mache, buttons, ornaments, toys, &c., in which paper forms the principal ingredient, and to these a still greater stimulus would be given by the reduced cost of production adding im mensely to the employment of every description of labour. If the consumption of paper be traced through its various ramifications, and the number of people which are employed upon it in other countries, m f lsua s I v : bmhe thateos ou r fs e rrt o t i,t hm h .i h e n: hheo lis a cins n ehi, fo u b uil f fet a lr d c oi t smt u bon r eto e i r s seotana n t xl conceiveeoydt wd s beo u byut b ha j l dr e e r ct its s em: vast duty, w w r stbteyr amountitahllo3 dai applicationuut duty, ment the national resources, and in this point of view produce a greater amount of practical and positive good than any other scheme which could by possi bility be devised." Oar remarks have extended to a length which forbids our pursuing - the subject further; but we trust we have in this, and in preceding articles, suc ceeded in showing that, besides the advantages which the repeal of the paper•duty would share, in common with the removal of any excise impost, it has the singular merit of supplying the very deficit 'which its adoption would create. It is, thcretore, a measure which is entitled to the support of every one who wishes to encourage the industry, the manufacture, and the commerce of his country. FRENCH PASSPORTS• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—lt is quite well that the public delusion on the subject of French passports should be done away with, as it is very generally supposed that they are not now required, or if they are, that there is no charge for them ; but such is not the case, passporti are required as ever, and the charge is ss. for each person. The French authorities do now grant what is termed a permit, lasting a month, which gives the party holding it freedom on entering and depart ing during that period, without further trouble or expense, but through some mistake or blunder it is departed from, and the permit is demanded upon landing, and given up, which should not be. This will, however, I trust and doubt not, soon be rectified, as there is every desire at the office of the French Con sulate to facilitate matters, and I cannot conclude this letter without offering my sincere thanks to the French Consul and all connected with the office, as well as to the French authorities generally, fur their uniform kindness and courtesy in facilitating my arrangements fur the conveyance of my countrymen to their capital. Whether it is judicious in the Government of the French Republic to make the passport system, which is for their own security, and not our convenience, a matter of charge is another question, and one in which Ido not interfere. It must in a certain degree retard the freedom of intercourse between the two nations, which it is so desirable to keep up. I feel this to be so much the case that I invariably pay the passports for all my passengers. I fear I have trespassed too long upon your valu able space, and beg to remain, Sir, yours, &e , JOSEPH CRISP. 51, Bedford-street, Strand, April 13, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The choice of M. EUGENE Sun as the Democratic candidate for Paris is considered on all hands as a master-piece of electioneering tactics; and even the reactionaries are compelled to acknowledge that their candidate will stand little chance against the most popular novelist of the day, who is also a most thorough-going Democrat : his popularity as a no velist will secure to him the support of the ladies, whose influence will, no doubt, prevent many from voting against him who would have voted against nay (tiler Democratic candidate. It is to M. VIDAL that tre credit is due of having proposed the name of M. EUGENE SUE to the electors of Paris. Orders have been sent to the French fleet to quit t'ie Bay of Naples should the English fleet appear there to demand indemnity for losses sustained by - Mitish subjects in consequence of the proceedings of General FILANGIBRI in Sicily, in order to leave the g round free for the negotiations of .the British Minister. 'The Pattie has the following communicated note : " S?.veral journals, in giving an account of an incident. which occurred on the departure of the President of the B epublic from Versailles, my that some persons cor r.( , uuded his carriage and uttere I seditious cries. It is true that one of the horses in the President's carriage fell nt the bond Point of the Champ Elyt4n, but it ite— m ediately rose, and no malevolent demonstration took pl ace. There were very few people assembled." The following communicated note appears in the Pilrie and the Moniteur du Soir " Some of the journals have on several occasions sp.)ken of movements of Au:Arian troops destined to form the garrison of Rome in conjunction with French and Sp snish troops. It is astonishing that various journals sht cid bring forw►rd such stbtaments on the faith of let ter sfrom the shores of the Adriatic.

Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly aCive ; so that, in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and graces of nature.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands arc suffering the ?ri ration of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cev. , se so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that esery person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue, particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the especially the upper lip, fre quent itching of the nose, an unequalled state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels also, taste and emaciated countenance, and at other times the face will be 'flushed, griping pains, a short, cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of in clination to take exercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These are 531110 of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms ; adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine, which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp toms thus described, which arc produced by worms, and to a trial of this safe and effectual remedy, the 'value of which is corroborated by numerous testimonials through a long period of years. This medicine may be administered with confidence to children or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative medicine, insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and promoting a healthful vigour to the whole system.

EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of GRIM S TONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an II s, bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, fierbary, Highgate, and will be round at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of Aagust, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, en receiving two postage stamps. .The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7r. fid., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The I Is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, aro published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, awl given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Herrics, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family, But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

(From the Chronicle.) Resolutions condemnatory of what are called the Taxes on Knowledge, will be wowed this evening by Mr. Milner Gibson. He will be enuisvereit by the; Chancellor of the Exchequer, who will stand up man fully for his Budget; and he will encounter the usual stolid, dogged, bigoted, and unreasoning opposition, from a highly respectable class of Members, who, priding themselves on what they call their old fashioned modes of thinking, are firmly persuaded that the evils which flew out of Pandora's box were the twenty-four letters of the alphabet—that Eve's apple typifies a book—and that, as Sin came into the world with Knowledge, Virtue should never trust herself out of the region of Igno rance. The most eloquent appeal to Sir Charles Wood's imtellectual sympathies will probably produce no practical result during the present session. Re solved on reversing the boast of Augustus, who " found Rome brick and left it marble," he would rather be buried under his bricks than give them up. Perhaps he may be right so far. Physical wants should be the first care. Comfortable houses should take precedence of cheap publications. If (which remains to be proved) the Right Hon. Gentleman cannot yet afford to remove all fiscal checks on good books and wholesome reading as well as on good air and wholesome habitations, let him, by all means, begin with the habitations and the air. I t w ill b e something, however, to force a distinct admission of the principle fcom the Government ; and we shall be disappointed if the discussion does not end by convincing every thinking politician, in and out of the House, that the abolition of the taxes in question would strengthen instead of undermining our most valued institutions, and assist in placing an impreg nable bulwark before property and social order, whilst adding incalculably to the self respect, the domestic enjoyments, and the moral eleuation of the poor. Mr. Milner Gibson proposes to pave the way by reciting that " all taxes which directly impede the diffusion of knowledge are highly injurious to the public interests, and are most impolitic sources of revenue." He then proceeds to mark out for specific legislative disapproval-1, the Excise duty. on paper ; 2, the stamp duties on newspapers ; 3, the advertise ment duties; 4, the Customs duties on foreign books. Do all or any of these duties directly impede the diffusion of knowledge ? This question must be an swered positively and peremptorily in the affirmative, unless it can be maintained that an enhancement of price does not operate as a check on the multiplica tion or circulation of the usual vehicles of know ledge—namely, books, reviews, magazines, and newspapers. The effect of the duty on paper has been so strikingly illustrated by Mr. Charles Knight that any additional argument would be super fluous. In his " Struggles of a Book against Exces sive Taxation," it is demonstrated that the charge thereby imposed on the Penny .Encyclopedia has al ready exceeded thirty-two thousand pounds; that this excessive burden is the principal cause why the undertaking has not been remunerative ; that the con tinuance of the impost prevents him from undertak ing a new edition of that eminently useful work ; and that it will probably never be reprinted unless the burden is removed or very greatly lightened. Messrs. Chambers, the proprietors and publishers of Chant. bers's Journal, another periodical of the most im proving tendency, calculate that this duty, even at the present reduced rate, enters, to the extent of one third, into price. So much for Mr. Milner Gibson's first item of complaint. The last (the import duty on foreign books) speak for itself, and though comparatively un important, is equally indefensible. The second and third (the stamp duty on newspapers, and the adver tisement duty) are frequently mixed up with con siderations alien from their essential qualities ; and we earnestly hope that the Member for Manchester will not fall into the common error of fancying that the principal journals are indebted to a vicious system of taxation for what is somewhat gratuitously and in vidiously designated as their " monopoly." Their advantages are the legitimate results of capital, en terprise, and skill. If the successful projector of a London newspaper be a monopolist because it is impossible to compete with him without money or credit, so is, or was, the founder of every leading commercial or manufactur ing firm in the empire. The Walters and the Perrys stand on precisely the same footing in this respect as the Rothschilds, the Barings, the Ark wrights, and the Peels. Analyse the cry occasionally set up against the Times, the Morning Chronicle, and the other metropolitan morning papers (the grand offenders in this line), and it will be found to be nearly identical with that raised by Louis Blanc against capital and competition in France. When, however, they succeed in distancing a rival, it is be cause they produce a superior article. No possible or imaginable reduction in the required outlay will ever enable a needy man ci letters—be his capacity for instructing the public what it may—to maintain an immense establishment, to organise a numerous body of writers of the most varied powers, to blend and harmonize their contributions, and to secure trust worthy correspondents in every quarter of the globe. As well might it be pretended th a t a reduct i on i n t h e pr i ce of flour and sugar would enable any ordinary pastry-cook to drive Gunter from the field. In our own opinion, at all events, we should gain instead of losing by the immediate withdrawal of all alleged legislative favours. If we could supply our readers at a cheaper rate, we should most assuredly have more of them ; and there :tan be as little doubt that we should obtain more advertisements if advertisements, were not laid under a contemporaneous tribute to the State. But, admitting that more knowledge would be diffused, would it be knowledge of the sore Is it advisable to extend the range of political dis cussion by increasing the circulation of newspapers ? Are industry, order, morality, and religion, incule eated by cheap literature ? 'We answer, with Mr. Charles Knight, that, if they are not, it is be cause such publications as the Penny Encyclopwdia and Chambers's Journal, together with The respect able London and provincial journals, are prevented' by impolitic taxes from taking their . proper place on the bookshelf of the cottier and mechanic; " The detrimental exercise of the printing -press is only to be met by its wholesome employment ;" and it is obviously of the deepest moment that the political reading of the higher classes (which is generally of a Conservative turn) should be rendered accessible to all. As to the portentous influences of modern journalism, it would be difficult to gainsay the quiet remark of the Edinburgh Review, that " i t i s more t o the purpose to set about neutralising any evil effects that may be apprehended from a chang e , than to rail at it; and this change wou ld har dly be so marked and durable unless the talent and knowledge which used to find vent in books, had been gradually diverted into reviews and newspapers." It is absurd , to argue such questions as if it were practicable,. or advisable, to prevent the mass of the people from learning to road or from receiving any education at all. The Rubicon is already passed ; they have thrown off the thraldom of tradition and authority; they cannot exist in future without intellectual ali inent of some sort ; and if they are not allowed to share in that provided for their superiors in taste and cultivation, they will infallibly demand and get sup plied with an inferior, contraband, and corrupting literature of their own. (From the Post.) Mr. Gibson ought to have confined his motion to the duty on paper, and to that alone. This excise is different in its character and operation from the other three in many important particulars. That it seriously impedes the diffusion of knowledge there can be no doubt.

The part of Gustavus WItS sustaicei by Mr. Harrison, who went through' the part in his usual manner. The Ankerstrom of Mr. Weiu was an excellent and musician -like, performance.

Ste,—Your paper often contains a curious adver ti&ement, generally placed near the commencement of the leading article, which appears to relate to lamps or coalpits, but the meaning of which is totally unintelligible to the profanum vulgus. As EOM curiosity is felt as to the writer's intentions in inserting such extraordinary effusions, and so frequently, perhaps you would be kind enough to get a translation of one of the advertisements from the author, and insert it for the information of the unlearned, and among them of YOUR CONSTANT READER. Leeds, 15th April, 1850. . FATAL ACCIDENT.—A sad accident happened on Tuesday night last at East Wheal Josiah (late Wheal Crease), near Tavistock. Two men, Thomas Rodda and son, were working in the shaft, when, in consequence of the casing breaking, the ground gave way and buried them. The father, who was extricated after seven hours, was much braised; and Henry Rodda, the son, aged 19, was dug out after remaining thirteen hours, but life was extinct. FIRE IN laNCllESTEß.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out in a cotton-waste warehouse, occupied by Mr. ,Thomas Baxter, Cross-street. Before the fire could be ex tinguished the whole of the building was completely gutted. The buildings connecting the warehouse were by the activity of the fire brigade saved from any serious damage. The es timated loss i 3 about 1,5C.01., which, we understand, *ill be covered by insurance. CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION.—The A►dlniralty have taken up the Emma Eugenia transport, at Deptford, to take out the coals and surplus stores for the expedition. Light gutta percha sledges are to be provided for the expe dition, on a plan proposed by Lieutenant Halkett, R.N. The steam was got up on board of the Pioneer yesterday, and the machinery worked in dock (the water having been let into the dock to float her). All went well. THE OWENS' COLLEGE.-011 Saturday morning a deputation, consisting of Mr. Thomas Bazley (president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce), Rev. Dr. Halley (Independent), Mr. J. R. Wood, Mr. Salis Schwabe, and the Rev. Alexander Munro, waited upon the trustees of the late John Owens (whe has lately left a munificent bequest for the foundation of a college in Manchester), for the purpose of protesting against the introduction into the proposed schools of religious teaching by a professor of the college. The members of the deputation stated their individual views upon the subject, and also the opinions of the various religious bodies which they represented. The trustees pro mised to take. the matter into their consideration. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND NORTII. Szarifoananiax RAILWAYs.—The differences between these two companies have at length been finally adjusted. An agreement was signed, sealed, and the counterparts delivered on Saturday, by which it is arranged , that the M anc h es t er traffic shall pass over the North Staffordshire line. This agreement will involve the withdrawal of certain bills which the North Staffordshire Company have before Parliament, and also the withdrawal of the Chancery suit which was re cently instituted. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.--The half-yearly statutory meeting of the shareholders of thi s com p an y is to be held on the 26th instant, by which ti me th e re p or t of the committee of investigation is expected to be ready.

Friend Waggles was first intro duced to the public last night, and ihire is no doubt but that his carocr will bo long and triumphant. AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY. The fourth concert for the season took place last night at the Hanover-square 1100111 e. The programme consisted of a selection of pieces exclusively by English composers. The first piece was a symphony by Mr. Henry Leslie, the very clever and indefatigable been:tail of the society. This work, which was performed for the first time last season, is of very great merit, and exhi bits an originality of thought and a mastery of musi c al •/ science which must eventually place Mr. - Henry Leslie in the very first rank of composers. We look to this gentlemen for the production - of some great musical work which " the world will net willingly let die." A now symphony in Dm:liner, by Mr. Macfarren, entitled "Thalien," was psi formed last night for the first time, and performed in a manner of which even the Philhar monic orchestra might have been proud. This sym phony is perhaps the finest thing that Mr. Macfarren has yet written, and is scored in the most elaborate and masterly manner. Both symphonies were conducted by their respective composers. The other pieces (among which we would particularly notice the overture to Balfe's castle of Aymoti,svhieh was admirably performed) were conducted by Mr. Negri. We congratulate the members cf. this society on the great success which bas at'ended their efforts and on the marked progress which they lure made. TIM ALLEGED MURDER AT L ALEHAM.—Yester day, Charles Hodsen, of Staines, the man who upon self•ac cusation is now in custody for the alleged commission of a murder committed twenty years ago, was brought up before the magistrates of the county of Middlesex, at Staines, for examination. The statement of the policeman, which we have already published, was again made befere the magis trates, and some further evidence adduced as to the finding of a ske:eton at the place pointed out by the prisoner as the grave of the deceased. The prisoner was remanded. A Mr. Pride, cashier to Mr. Lamont, coal agent, of Edinburgh, absconded the other day with 300/. Ha has just been taken at Stroud with the residue of his plunder, only 301., in his possession. Leaves seem light, and useless, and idle, and waver ing, and changeable—they even dance; yet God has made them part of the oak. In so doing, He has given us a lesson not to deny the stout•heartedness within, because we see the lightsomeness without.—Eliza Cook's Journal. - • BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Saturday morning the premises of Mr. Barr, flour factor and wharfinger, of Co penhagen Wharf, on the river Lee, Limehouse, were dis covered to have been entered, and upwards of eq. in silver and copper money abstracted by the thieves. The burglary was effected with considerable skill, the thieves having . ob tained an entrance at the window, and, as it is supposed, shortly after daylight, so as to throw the persons engaged on the premises, looking after the cows and other stock in the outhouses off the guard. About twenty minutes to nine two men were proceeding in a truck from the direction of the premis'es, but, as it was not earlier than the usual hour for commencing suburban business, no notice was taken. Sus picion has, consequently, fallen on the men who were seen in the truck, neither of whom have, unfortunately, been yet recognised. Burglaries at this end of the metropolis and its vicinity have been greatly on the increase lately. THR ARAB HORSES PRESENTED BY HER MAJESTY TO MR. Barry.—Our readers will remember that about a month ago her Majesty made a present to Mr. Natty, the lessee of Astley's Theatre, of two out of several Arabian horses sent to the Queen by the Emperor of Morocco, that her subjects might have the gratification of Nuking pure specimens of this renowned breed of animals. They were two entire horses,'spotlessly white in colour, perfect in sym metry, pure in blood, standing about 14 hands two inches in height, and rising one four and the other five years old. The animals were committed to the care of experienced breakers and trainers, under the immediate eye and superintendence of Mr. Batty himself, and both have now become perfectly docile, and thoroughly obedient to the whip and rein, whether in single or double harness; and in the course of two or three weeks, such is their docility and intelligence, that they are expected to be sufficiently well up in their parts and the business of the stage to make their debut upon the boards where so many of their kindred and clime long sustained a distinguished reputation and attracted crowded audiences. Her Majesty also presented Mr. Batty about a week ago with a mare of the same breed and colour, but slightly freckled with bleak spots. She is a beautiful animal, with a broad chest, much bottom, and a particularly grace ful head and sloping back. She is considerably older than the horses, but from her build and temper she is not unlikely to verify the old adage that "the grey mare is the better horse." Mr. Batty is, as he well may be, proud of her Majesty's present, and bestows all the care and skill he pos sibly can to make their training worthy of their blood and their perlormances acceptable t) the royal donor and her loyal subjects. • The Northern " Derwentvater's lights," were very brilliant on Saturday night last. WATERSPOUT • IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL.—A somewhat unusual occurrence for these latitudes occurred on Saturday evening last in the Bristol Channel. As the Fanny and Jane, a brig of 118 tons register, from London for this port, laden with wines and a general cargo, was on her voyage up channel, when about twelve miles off Padstow, with the wind at S.S.W., they heard a strange noise,. and the set ;•udt'.cnly rushed up, forming a large waterspout, and carried away the masts, bowsprit, and everything from the vessel's deck. She was taken in tow by the Alert, of Brid port, and brought into port. Several vessels that were within half a mile of the Fanny and Jane entirely escaped the visitation. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A lengthened inquiry was held by Mr. Carter on Friday night, at the Noah's Ark tavern, Park estreet. Southwark, respecting the death of Miss Mary Carpenter, aged 82, who was burnt almost to a cinder, at a fire ' which occurred at the • deceased's resi dence in Moss's-alley, Bankside, on Tuesday evening last. The deceased, who was possessed of several► freehold houses in the above neighbourhood, was looked upon as being one of the most extraordinary characters probably ever heard of. A few years since she bad a nurnber of dresses made so short that none of them would reach down to her knees. Part of her leg was exposed, but' the other was encased in white stockings, tied up with scarlet garters, the ribbons extending to her feet or flying about her person. In this extraordinary dress she would sally forth to market, followed by immense crowds of men and children. Six or seven years ago she en tirely changed her manner of living, for, instead of ont the sport of the populace, she sh u t h erse lf up in herin uin fouse in Moss's-alley, and bein g a pp re h ens i ve c that " thieves would break in and steal," she had the win dows bricked up. She continued to live in one of the rooms on the ground floor until the memorable high tide occurred, which forced her to leave her dingy apartment for one higher. This room she also bricked up, so that not the least light could enter from the outside. A woman named Flynn used to attend upon her, and with the exception of her collector of rents no one else was allowed to enter on any pretence Whatever. On Tuesday last Mrs. Flynn left deceased cook ing a mutton chop for her dinner, and in two hours after smoke was seen pouring through the apertures in the wall. An alarm being given, the house was broken (rpm, when, on going to the upper float, the-place was found to be full of flame, and the deceased lying on the Jed encircled in fire. The flames having been extinguished, the deceased' was found to be frightfully burnt. There being no doubt in the mind of the jury that whilst deceased was cooking the mutton chop her dress became ignited, they returned a ver dict of" Accidental death." MARGA.TE.—The rumour that the Gravesend boats are to be placed on this station to work in conjunction wit h the North Kent Railway is very generally c redited , and hopes are entertained that it slay come to p ass; by this route, the distance from London to 'Margate would be per, formed in ale ut three hours and 'a half: The question of fares by the steam-boats is a subject of deep importance to the majority of people in this town, consequently some little anxiety and regret is felt at the determination of the pier di rectors to continue the head : money, fore hildren and adults .Is. each.

D , RING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.--One of the most i m pudent and determined cages of highway robbery that we have for years had to record in this neighbourhood took plac on the turnpike-road leading from Abingdon to Drayton. an between these two places, under the folloWing circumstances —Mr. J. B. Phillips, of Ardington, was'returning home from market on Monday evening last, about eight o'clock. and when about two furlongs on the other side of the Tithe Farm, he met six or seven men, end as lie was passing two of them sei ze d th e b r idl e o f hi s horse. Me. Phillips lost no time in laying about him resolutely with his •whip, but the other men came up and dragged him off Isis ho se, and rifled his pockets of six or seven sovereigns, and a cheque for drawn on Bunny's Bank at Newbury; having accomplished the robbery, ai:a without further violer.ce, they got up the bank on Ike road-side and decamped across the fields. On Wednesday James Clark and Daniel Keith, tramps, were brought before the Rev. N. Dodson and Mr. E. Currie, charged with being concerned in the above robbery. Both were remanded till Monday.—Oxford Journal. Tug TEA TRADE, ARPIL 15.—The deliveries o tea in the metropolis increased last week to 609,70(.1ba- Public sales are to be held on Wednesday 7 11 / ~a'
