CASUALTY AT SEA —A vessel named the Mary, belonging to Mr. M'Ferran, of Carrickfergus, sprting a leak no Friday evening last, and sunk within sight of Ailsa Craig. The crew were saved. THUNDERSTORM AND HAIL SHOWELL—On Saturday evening, about half-past four o'clock, the town and neighbourhood of Belfast were vhdted with a thunder.. storm and a very heavy hail sower, which lasted for about fifteen minutes, and did eousiderable. damage outside of the town. In the Botanic Gardens the glass in the roof of the orchid house was completely riddled by the lumps of ice which fell 'upon it, some of them very nearly three inches in circumference ; scarcely a pine has been left whole in the small green house, and the cold frames have all been injured more or less. At Mr. Batt's, of Strandmillia, the effects of the storm Were also severely felt ; and at Mr. Bristow's, in the opposite side of the Lagan from the Botanic Gardens, there were no fewer than 29 panes of glass broken in his dwelling-house windows, and 120 in his greenhouse. On Sunday and yesterday a great quantity of rain fell, and th e wea ther has been very stormy; indeed, such has been the violence of the storm, that about ten o'clock yesterday morning a large chimney, 'lately erected by Mr. Frith at his i manufactory was blown down; and in the evening a large ship dragged her anchors, and was nearly ashore of Groomsport. At a late hour last night, however, we wire informed that she had been got into Belfast Lough, wheie she was then riding in safety. ,From the coast of Ireland many disastrous ship wrecks are reported. The Wateford Correspondent of the Shipping Gazelle writes : 7 --" The' Bandon, Shea, put in, from Newport fot Kinsale, and reports that, running in, she fell in with a large steamer, s,upposed to be one of the packets, with the hull of the Serapis, of Wexford, for Waterford, from Car diff, in tow. The master of the steamer hailed him, and asked him if he would take her in tow. He replied, if he would pass the warps on board in his boat, he would ; but the master of the steamer not complying he left him. The boat was hauled up, and took the people out of the wreck, and let her go. When the report came on shore, the Joseph, fishing smack, went out after her and towed her into Dunmore, where she remains. It is not known how the 'accident happened, as the crew were taken away 'in the steamer. The Brisk, Hughes, from Newport to Cork, parted her chain up Buttermilk Castle. She drove against the point, and when the tide fell she sunk. The crew are saved. When she run in the wind was S S W., and abmit eight P.m. the wind came at W.N.W., strong, and she parted. Her Majesty's dockyard lighter Tortoise, from Holyhead tor Plymouth, was driven high on the beach at Maltraeth, and remains. . At Aberystwith, on Saturday, as the day came on, it increased to a whole gale ; the sea in the bay ran high, short, and hollow. About 8 A.m. a vessel was perceived in the offing, making for this port, heavy, but little sail set. On her arrival into port, she proved to be the schooner Idea, Delahoyde, from Glasgow or Troon for Seville, having in the early part of the gale split her mainsail, topsail, topgallant sail, and carried away her foreyard. The morning of the Bth a seaman's chest came on shore near the entrance of the harbour, empty, and no lid, with no marks to identify it. From the coast of Scotland we have the following from the Shipping Gazette correspondent :—"Mon- Cross, Oct. 7.--N.E., moderate, cold and wet.—The Edith, Moodie, of this piece for St. Petersburgh for Dundee, came on shore this morning, about three o'clock, at the mouth of the North Esk. The night was extremely dark and stormy, wind at S.E. Hav ing missed the lights, the vessel got away down into the bottom of the bay, and the wind, in place of abating, continuing to increase in violence, it was deemed prudent to run her on shore. Preparations are now making for landing the cargo ; and, should he weather keep moderate, the likelihood is she will be got off, and towed round to this harbour." CUMBERLAND.—Yesterday was one of the most stormy and tempestuous days that has been experienced here for several years past. • The gale commenced at an early hour in the morning, and continued with tearful violence until after midnight. We have not heard of any damage having been sustained in the town ; but we are afraid we shall yet hear of sad disasters at sea, from the fury of the tempest. Some vessels entered this port during-the storm. A portion of the sea-wail in front of the railway at Mickleam Point; near Herrington, was washed down yesterday by the heavy sea. The line of railway is at such a distance from the breasting that the disaster throws no obstruction whatever in the way of the trains pass ing. to and fro, as usual.—Cumberland Pacquet, of Tuesday. At Whitebaven on the 7ch it blew a complete hur ricane, from north-west, and the sea ran with a tre mendous swell on, end the run in the harbour was so strong•thst it was with the greatest difficulty ships were kept to their moorings. The Woodville, Hellons, which sailed for Dublin on Saturday, having lost her sails, came back too late on the tide, and stuck out side the old quay, and struck so heavily the next tide that she sunk,, but ou Tuesday morning the water was let out of her, and being caulked, the weather having moderated, she has been towed into port. The Mary,'Douglas, of and for Dublin from this port (coal laden), has been driven on shore on Drigg Beach, but is expected to be got off if the wea ther moderates. Burnie, from Quebec, ar but in consequence of a riv A ed t 0 3i ff Iar f y .o p r o p rt o t r h t e c G ar r i a is c l e e , , gale . from the N.W. a pilot could not get out to her ; however, the steam-tug went out, and succeeded in getting a rope from her, but could render • her very little assistance ; after which the Grace let go her anchors, but was obliged to slip them, and was run on shore to save the vessel and cargo, after which she struck heavily for a short ‘time and had six feet of ater in her hold, but no doubt will be got off again after discharging her cargo. At Fleetwood the gale did not abate until the night of Monday, and on Tuesday morning a vessel was discovered on her beam-ends, on the north wharf, inside the Screw Pile Lighthouse. The Nile (steamer) went to her, and sbe was found to be the Lion, of Ardrossan, laden with Indian corn, and supposed to be from Liverpool for Londonderry ; the hatches were off, and the vessel full of water, with a great part of the cargo washed out. Some of the sails, spars, and running rigging wer e got and brought in, and every, effort will be made to get the vessel into harbour, but it is doubtful if this can be done. None of the crew have been heard of, and as there was no boat with the vessel, it is feared they took to the boat, 'and have all been lost. There is little or no chance of getting any of the cargo, The sloop Sarah, of Whitehaven, laden with pipeclay, is ashore at Black pool. At Bridlington, the Commerce Jeffery , o f Sp e y , •from London for Newcastle, p u t in on Monday, with main - sail split. While coming to an anchor in the bay, and handing the topsail, at 12 30 rad, two of the crew, natives of Aberdeen, fell from the yard and were dreadfully injured. O ne , Teeophilus Leggett Christie, aged 23, had received a concussion of the brain; he lingered until 11 P.M., when he expired. The other, David Lowe, besides other injuries, had one thigh broken.

Sir Francis Baring, v i s it e d Portsmouth on Monday, in his capacity of one of the Members of the borough, to dine at the Beneficial Hall Society's annual charitable feast in Kent-street, Portsea. A large number of the inhabitants met at the dinner. Sir George Staunton, the other Member of the borough, was absent in Italy. Sir Francis Baring left Ports mouth on Tuesday afternoon, and returned to the Admiralty yesterday afternoon from Stratton-park.

And now, after all the filling in and digging out, they h a v e gi ven or d ers for the miserable little affair constructing to be en larged, and made something like a dock ; so that a ship with all her stores might be taken in at e high water, at neap tides. Teis is a step in the right direction, and if adopted tit first, a very large expense would have been saved. SHOT PRACTICE ON THE KAMPTULICON LINING rote IRON SHIPS.—The last kamptulicon butt not having been sufficiently lined with that material, when practised at about a fortnight ay, from the Excellent, no opinion could be formed of its capabili ties of preventing the shot breatiog and the splinters flying► off. Another iron butt, with a better lining, was therefore prepared, and it was fired at on Tues day afternoon, from the Excellent, at the-distance of 450 Yards. We have heard that it does not answer the expectation fortncd of it. The shot passing through the iron hal the effect of separating the k.unptulicon substance or planking, and breaking- it off in large square pieces, instead of passing through it-by a round hole. A correspondent, however, has sent us the following account :--"Four. 321 b. shots fired from the battery of the Excellent, with a charge of 101 b. of powder, and a range of about 500 yards, against a large iron target, lined with kardptulicon, -the shots struck the target with nearly the same re sults as those described to have taken place a Wool wich, in 1846, in which instance the shots were fired from the Ordnance guns. The previous experiments at Portsmouth were to test the efficiency of timber as a lining between the angle irons, when it was found that the effect of shot was to add wooden splints rather than 'to diminish those of iron. From the proper ties of the kamptulicon it cannot splinter,' and, the pieces of it which are blown out by the force of the shot are pronounced to be harmless, whilst the greater portion of the iron and splinters were retained. It appears that the views of Mr. Walter (the gentleman at whose instance the experiment was tried); are not confined to iron ships. He says that the composition being a non-conductor, would remove the difficulty which exists with regard to the frequent derangement of the compass. The question of its adoption of course rests with the Admiralty." Rear-Admiral J. B. Reynolds, C. 8., the Comman der-in-Chief on the Brazil Station, in his flag-ship Southampton, 50, Captain N. Cory, returned to Rio Janeiro, August 10, after a cruize in which her ten der, the Harpy steam-vessel, Second Master Beatson in charge, had captured an empty slaver, as mentioned in our intelligence from Brazils, in another column. The slaver was a vessel of 120 tons, and had been sent to St. Helena for adjudication. The Southamp ton remained at Rio August 28. The Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Schomberg, returned there from cruising, August 22, and the Rifleman, 8, screw-schooner, Lieutenant Commander Branch, re turned with the flag-ship. The Sharpshooter, 8, screw- schooner, Lieutenant Commander Barclay, also returned to Rio, from a cruize, August 13. Dauntless screw steam-frigate, Captain E. P. Hal stead, bent sails on Tuesday, and yesterday her com passes were swung by the master of the Victory, and she is now ready to go to Spithead. She is uncom monly well painted, and is already in creditable order; she looks well, and there is not a more splendid ship in the service. It is a great pity that she has been undermasted. She should have had spars for her tonnage, for a ship of this description should never use her steam but on urgent occasions. Peterel, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander Cresser, has had her defects made good at Devonport, and is now ready for sea. Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, has arrived at Queenstown from Portsmouth. • Seaflower. cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Griffiths, tender to the Cuckoo, arrived at Portsmouth, from Jersey yesterday morning., and went into harbour.. Thetis. 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., is nearly com plete at Devonport. She will be taken out of har bour this morning. Termagant screw steam frigate, recently fitted as a first-class advanced ship at Portsmouth, fully rig ged, with all descriptions of stores on board for three months, has been taken into the steam-basin and totally dismantlM. Her stores, rigging, -cordage, canvas, and her spars and yards (except her.lower masts and those stowed on the booms) have been landed, .and returned into store. Her guns are to re main on board. It was only a short time since that she was fitted, and it was expected daily that she would have been commissioned ; however, this process sends her into ordinary.. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. , ....-The 'Britannia, 120, Captain Yates, has been removed to the moorings of the Illustrious to-day, and commenced painting. The Norwegian corvette Ruen, Captain Valeur, sailed from Spithead this afternoon for Cherbourg, Brest, Lisbon, and the Mediterranean. The, annual meeting of the Seamen and Marines' Orphan - Schools took place at this port today, the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Bladen Capel, K.U.8., in the chair. The society, we are pleased to say, seems prosperous, but its funds need augmenta tion. No charity in the kingdom is more deserving of the sympathies and support of the benevolent than this, inasmuch as it is founded solely for the educa tion and welfare of the orphans of both sexes of those who have bled or died in its defence. WOOLWICH, OCT. 9.—The Geyser steam-sloop, at Woolwich, is expected to be commissioned at that port to-morrow by Commander Edward Tatham (1846). The Garland, Dover mail steam-packet, Lieutenant- Commander W. Wylde, left Woolwich at 8 o'clock A.M. to-day, and Mr. Hurnphrys, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, went down in her to witness the working of her engines after their defects were made good, and as they answered remarkably well, the Gar land proceeded for Dover, to resume her duties at that station. The Resistance troop-ship, Master-Commander Bradshaw, has a number of shipwrights and joiners employed upon her previous to the embarkation of three companies of Royal Artillery, one for con veyance to Gibraltar, one to Malta, and one to Corfu, to relieve a similar number of companies from these stations. - T -- beframe timbers of the Agamemnon - , 80, build ing here, have been all put up, and workmen have commenced a platform where the lower deck is to be placed to test the working of her stern guns. A ship gun-carriage and a section of an 8-inch gun nide feet long, to weigh 65 cwt., have been placed on the plat form, to ascertain how they may be worked before the deck is permanently laid. The stern of the Aga memnon is round, and projects considerably beyond the screw-propeller with which she is to be fitted. Mr. %Val - , assistant surveyor, paid an official visit to the Agamemnon on Tuesday last, and it is expected the Lords of the Admiralty will visit her on Satur day, or on an early day next week. PAY OF THE ROYAL NAVY.

THE ARMY. The f,.llowing Gen, , ral Order, with reference to leave of absence, has just been issued : Horse Guards, Oct. 8. The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to approve of f,zeneral officers commanding districts in Great Britain granting leave of absence to officers, and fur loughs to non-commissioned offi cers an d soldiers, under the following regulations and restrictions, viz.:- 1. The leaves of absence, granted under this order to officers, may commence as soon as the half-yearly inspection shall have been made. The furloughs granted to non-commissioned officers and soldiers may commence from the Ist of the next month. 2. These indulgences are to terminate on the 10th of March next, when, in conformity to her Majesty's regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be present with their respective regiments. 3. One field officer, one-half of the captains, and one-half of the subaltern officers, are always to be present with their regiments. 4. No officer (except in the performance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his regiment) is to quit the United Kingdom without having first received her Majesty's special permission. 5. The officers employed on the recruiting service, or upon the staff' of the army, are not to be included in the number hereby fixed for the constant duty of the regiment. 6. The applications for leave for regimental pay masters and medical cfficers are to continue to be made in the mode prescribed in the regulations and orders for the army. 7. In cases of short leaves of absence being re quested by adjutants, riding-masters, quarter-masters, or veterinary surgeons of regiments, it will be neces sary that a special report shall be made as to the mode in which their duties are to be performed during their absence, and that the commanding officer is satisfied. 8. The proportion of non-commissioned officers, trumpeters, drummers, and private men, to whom furloughs may be granted, is not to exceed ten per troop or company. When regiments are not stationed in garrisons or military districts, the officers commanding are at liberty to use their discretion in granting the indul gence of leave of absence, under the foregoing re strictions, to the officers and soldiers under their command. This order does not apply to the officers and soldiers doing duty with the depot companies of regiments on foreign service. His Grace expects that the general and other officers, who are empowered to grant leave of absence under the provisions of this order, will strictly confine that grant to the proportion of fficers herein specified. By command of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wel lington, Commander-in-Chief, GEORGE BROWN, Adjutant-General. CITY CO2IIMISSIOiVERS OF SEWERS• On Tuesday a Court was held at the Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. Some conversation took place between the Com missioners upon the subject of the vote of 301. for the enalyzation of water, but was dropped upon the sug gestion of the Chairman that it might as well be postponed until the arrival of the medical officer of health. When Mr. Simon entered the court, The CHAIRMAN requested that the medical officer would state whether he had taken any steps with regard to the analyzation of water, and the expendi ture for that purpose of the 301. granted to him by the vote of the last Court. Mr. SimoN said he had taken some preliminary steps in the matter. Mr. BLAKE—Steps for which you believe you will have to pay ? Mr. SlMON—Assuredly. Mr. R. TAYLOK was most anxious to be satisfied as to the necessity for any steps at all on•the occasion by the officer of health. He wished for further in formation. At present he thought the amount asked for was excessively high. Mr. SIMON considered it most desirable that he should have proper analyses made of the water of the two companies which at present supply the city, and of that of all the available sources of supply, so that be might be able to give a positive opinion upon the subject. Deputy HOLT thought that if the officer of health, by the expenditure of the small sum proposed, were certain he should be able to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion upon the point, the money would assuredly be well spent. Mr. SIMON intimated that he did not entertain a doubt upon the subject. His only object in asking for the grant was, that he might be in a better posi tion to furnish to the Commissioners accurate infor mation with regard to the quality of the water, by which they might be enabled to guide their decision upon any future occasion. As to the amount of money which might be expended in obtaining the analysis that should not prove an obstacle, as he was ready to defray that sum out of his own pocket, rather than place himself in a questionable position before the Commissioners. He was content, however, to leave the matter in their hands. _ _ Mr. LOTT—They were bound to supply the medi cal officer with the means of enabling him to make a satisfactory report. He thought they were hardly acting fairly towards the medical officer in the course they were pursuing in requiring him to furnish them with information as he proceeded step by step. After some further conversation the matter ended. The vote was not recalled. DEODORIZING OF THE CITY SEWERS. Mr. HA - rwoon, the surveyor of the City sewers, brought up his report upon the subject of the effect of Collins's deodorizing powder in destroying the E ffluvia generated in the sewers. The report stated that the proposed mode of applying this agent was to place at intervals throughout the whole length of the sewers pots, or other vessels, containing certain quantities of the powder, which would require to be periodically inspected, stirred, and replenished. The chlorine evolved from these vessels, it was stated, would com bine with and neutralize the sulphuretted hydrogen, ammonia, and other gases and volatile products, &c., forming the ordinary stench of sewers, and thus render their atmosphere comparatively sweet, and the chance emanations from gullies harmless. It appeared, according to the data furnished to Mr. Haywood, that the distance apart at which vessels would require to be placed would be about 15 yards. This would give 117 per mile, and assuming the aggregate length of the City sewers which could be entered for this purpose at 44 miles, the total number of vessels re quired would be 5,148, and it was stated each of these would probably require replenishing every eight or ten days, and stirring up once during the interval. A tender had been made lor providing the vessels and a sufficient quantity of the powder effectually to pre vent effluvium at 11. per mile per week. Assuming the aggregate length of the sewers at 44 miles, the cost per annum would th ere f ore amount to 2,288 1 ., with an estimated additional charge for supervision and labour in replenishing the vessels (not included in the tender) of about 4001. per annum, making the total annual cost of the system 2,6881. The cost of adapting the sewers in the first instance for the re ception of the vessels was also estimated at about 4001. Mr. Haywood stated that he had no doubt the powder in question possessed remarkably deodorizing powers. Experiments had been made with the powder in some of the sewers, but the evidence given by per sons who had been deputed to observe its effects led to very contradictory opinions, and Mr. Haywood had been unable to gain such experience as he consi dered would justify him in recommending the adop tion of the plan. From experiments he had made upon the effects of the powder out of the sewers, he was of opinion that it was inapplicable for the pur poses suggested, and that, however useful it might be under immediate inspection and control in its ap plication, it would be extremely difficult, if not im practicable, to apply it effectually to the public se% e:s. He stated that the powder evolved chlorine, though whether in sufficient strength to cause danger to life or health he was unable to say; but as seve ral eminent chymists described chlorine gas as highly deleterious, and as some of the work men felt such repugnance to an atmosphere im pregnated with gas from this powder that they had even refused to work in it, he thought upon that head the propriety of its application to the sewers might be questionable. He considered it right to state, however, that at the place where the powder was manufactured upon a large scale no inconvenience appeared to be felt by those engaged in its preparation, and that he did not think the objec- SALES BY AUCTION. CLER biONT, IN NORFOLK.

IV2 ESSRS. DANIEL SMITH • and SON are commissioned, unless previously disposed of by Private Treaty, to SUBMIT to public COMPETITION", at the Mart, on TUESDAY, October 15, at Twelve. • The above most desirable and distinguishel COUNTRY SEAT, with manor and fine domain, embracing in a perfect ring fence, nearly 2.500 acres intersected by a fine stream, with a range of ?minable meadows, surrounding the elegant mansion of Clermont Dodge, which has been greatly enlarged and improved within the last few years. The house is very superior as to its arrangements and elegant fittings, opening with south aspect to as Italian flower garden, parterre, and terrace, and the park-like paddocks. The offices are very complete for a large , establishment, and the stables are new. The gardens are well planned with ranges of hot-houses, connected by gravelled walkf with the pleasure grounds. The farm homesteads are of a superior description, with cottages, keepers' and other lodges, and the estatejudiciously divided into six capital farms, and the whale estate richly belted and studded with luxuriant plan tations and woods fall of game, and intersected by beautiful drives and walks. The home demesne is laid out with great judgment and taste, embracing a magnificent oak wood. The judicious openings and beautiful formation of the clumps and groves, with the inter mixture of various kinds of trees and wild cover, afford a remark ably fine contrast of light and shade, and cheerful scenery from the house.

THE LATk; STORM. --- We have received the following from a correspond ent at Dover, in addition to the details published in The Sun of yesterday : Tne gale on Sunday evening has done much damage to the works in progress for the Harbour of Refuge here ; and although the masonry is not injured on the new pier, nevertheless the piles are so broken, and the framework used for the diving bells and placing the blocks of stone and concrete are so broken and disar ranged, that it will cause great delay in the comple tion of the western pier, and the loss will be very great to the contractors=not less than • 10,0001. The beach on the eastern side of the old pier was literally covered with the fragments of piles and timber, and nobody could pass the wreck without contemplating on the awful power of the winds and waves, in a storm like that of Sunday. It was a les son to those who are responsible for the strength of this barhour ; and it was a warning to the projectors of the electric telegraph to study their work well be fore they place the wires for conducting the electri city into the sea. The sea seems to have torn asunder the large tim bers firmly bolted together, as if they were a baby's toy, and judging from the Cob at Lyme' Regis it is .pretty clear that if the masonry had been completed a greater distance out in deeper water than it was, that it would have given way and made a break through the EO-feet in width structure. The pier, as far as it has gone, has had a very good effect on the harbour, as it keeps the entrance free of shingle, and it calms the heavy sea that would otherwise make it difficult for a vessel to enter in such a gale. . . On the other hand, it seems to have a bad effect upon the eastern side of the old pier, as the sea rolls in heavier and the water has become more shallow, so much so that the pilot boats cannot anchor close in as formerly. Much as this grand project of a harbour of refuge at Dover is to be admired, it is still very doubtful how far the plan is.good. The anchorage is not good; it is a flat rocky ground ; the new work may cause the whole to fill up. Would it not have been a better plan to have selected a place where there was deep water close to, and have excavated a harbour out of 50 acres of the solid earth by means of locomotive en gines and machinery. THE STORM IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—The reports from the western and northern shores are to the effect that during the great storm of Sunday night con siderable damage was done to the shipping, particu larly the small craft. Here on this coast the shipping escaped well. The following particulara are supplied by the journals received this morning : KINGSTOWN, Ocr. B.—The weather since Sunday morning has been very tempestuous. The gale was at its height from Sunday to yesterday morning, and it blew a perfect hurricane early on Monday. Die mail packet St. Columba had a very severe passage of 7i hours. The Eblana had also a very rough passage. The Anglia, due last night, did not reach Kingstown till past three o'clock this morning. The. Iron Duke could not leave Liverpool at the usual time last night, as she bad to wait some hours for water over the bar, but she reached Kingstown soon after ten o'clock this morning —thus making an excellent passage. The Mteerva did not leave Liverpool, as usual, in opposition to the City of Dublin Company. On last 'Wednesday- the Cork Company's screw ship Albatross, loaded with cattle, got on the banks in the river, and, owing to some disarrangement of her engines, remained for some time there, till relieved from her unpleasant situation by the next tide. She returned to the North Wall in tow of the Lion steamer, and landed the cattle to ascertain the cause of the accident. Steam was again raised, and the cattle reloaded, but unfortunately the damage was not repaired, as the vessel could not proceed to sea. The cattle were again discharged, and some forwarded to Liverpool on Eriday by the Ocean steam-vessel. On Saturday evening the Albatross was able to sail for Liverpool. On her passage she fell in with the ' se tiL;ill4 7 ,',A , 0 *r. , 71•. f'? .. ..,-- 2-- - I:: t: . . 6 '4`.* ;t/ f iiil i ) w t . .. , 4 . /4 t41,.,4 ,- , 11...‹:i4 , i ,..cit, ~,, io ., .. 4 „.

The Coral' agreed to the suggestion. Mr. Moltazs gave notice of a motion with reference to the drainage of the north side of the metropoliv, special reference to be had to a scheme for that pur pose which had been submitted to the corporation by Mr. Beardmore, a civil engineer.

THE SERPENTINE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—During the last two or three years numer ous promises have been given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests that an increased supply of water should be thrown into the Serpentine. No such additional supply having been furnished up to the present period, there has been much disappoint ment manifested at the apparent want of faith on the part of the authorities. Having been repeatedly applied to as honorary secretary of the Serpentine Purifying Association as to the cause of the additional quantity of water not being supplied, I thought it better to communicate with the Chief commissioner on the subject, and now beg to forward you a copy of his Lordship's official reply. I shall feel obliged by your inserting the letter for the information of that large portion of your readers who are interested in the question. It is almost needless to observe that no change worthy the name of improvement will be effected in the Serpentine till the filth be removed from the bed of the river, and till the cascade at the eastern end is again brought into play. It was quite expected that the last-named point at least would have been gained this summer, but so far from such having been the case, it is a well-known fact, that during the major part of the last several months the water has been absolutely below its ordinary level.—l am, Sir, &c., JOHN LILWALL. Park-place, Albert-gate, Oct. 9. Office of Woods, Oct. 8. Sir,—l have received your letter respecting the Serpentine. That piece of water is supplied from two sources—the Chelsea Water-works and the Orange -street-works. I am informed that large quantities of water have been poured into the Serpen tine from both sources. I am now taking steps to procure the means of accurately measuring the supply. With regard to the plan you suggest of bringing the rain water from the temporary building into the Ser pentine, I have not applied to the Commissioners of the Exhibition on the subject, and I think that there would be many objections to the plan. Your obedient servant, _ "Juha Lilwall, Esq. SErstoun. STRANGE ACCIDENT TO LORD GIFFORD.—The re port of a fatal accident having happened to this young nobleman while hunting turns out to be a mere idle rumour, though the Noble Lord met with a singular adventure, for an account of which we are indebted to the Hereford Times —" On Tuesday morning last, October 1, the Herefordshire hounds (Lord Gifford's) met at Trebandy, at half-past six o'clock for the purpose of cub hunting. Directly they were thrown into corer a leash of foxes were on foot. After twenty minutes run they settled to one fox, and raced him a pretty burst over a country to ground in an earth pit overhanging a brook, Lord Gifford and his first whip being the only two up at the time. When his Lordship jumped off his horse to look at the earth and cheer his hounds, in a moment he was assailed by some hundreds of hornets which the hounds had disturbed from their nests in an old ash pollard, attracted by his red coat. He was quickly obliged to rush up the oppo site bank. Upon throwing down his cap, it was immediately covered with hundred of hornets. His Lordship in the meantime had cailed off his hounds, and had desired the first whipper-in to gallop away with the horses for fear of their being stung, but not before he had got several bad stings on the back of his head, also his hands and back of his neck. After mounting his horse again the pain became so intense that it caused him to faint away, but after the stings were extracted ,and by the kindness of the gentlemen and far mere, who were out, he soon recovered, and was enabled to find another fox at Trebandy, aud, after an hour's running, to kill him."
