THE ANTI-CORN-LAW. BAZAAR FREE-TRADE HALL. In our last, we gave the receipts of the first three days at this bazaar. On 'Saturday it was honoured with several visits of a remarkable character. In the after noon, upwards of nine hundred workpeople of Messrs. John Bright lied Brothers, Rochdale, had a holiday given them by their employers. A special train con veyed them to Manchester, and the firm gave them free admission to the bazaar. They walked in procession, headed by a band of music, through the streets from the railway station to the Free-trade Hall, where they pro menaded with great delight fur some titne, observing the greatest order and decorum, and most of them making small purchases, chiefly of useful articles. During the afternoon, a still larger body of the work people of Mr. John Whittaker and Sons, of Hurst, we believe about twelve hundred in number, entered the bizaar, and remained there for some time, much de light d with what they saw, and many of them making trifling purchases at the stalls. About a quarter-past one o'clock, as previously announced, Prince Hite!, son and heir of the Imaum of Muskat, attended by two of his officers, Sand Abdah and Hamaid Abdah, and also by Captain Cogan and the interpreter, Assaad ICayat, entered the Free-trade Hall, and the Prince was loudly ahe.r.A. He was received by Mr. George Wilson, the Chairman of the L -ague, aed Mr. IL R. Moore, who conducted him to the platform that he might see the Hall; and these gentlemen subsequently conducted him round the lL,il, that his Iliehness might inspect the various stalls. Mrs. Cobden, Mrs. George Wilson, and Mrs. Thomas Woolley were introduced to his Highness; and at one of the stalls Mr. George Wilson presented to his acceptance a very large and magnificent knife, a sort of chef d'oeuvre . : of Sheffield manufacture, worth about 25/., which his highness much admirel and cor dially accepted. The Prince and his two officers signed their names in a hook at one of the stalls, the Prince writing his name in Persian characters (we believe) " H:lal Sand;" the other two names we have already given. The orientals all wore their Eastern costume ; the Prince, from some religious feelings, wearing a dress without any display of magnificence; his turtan was of white cotton. Ile is apparently about thirty four or thirty-five years of age, his countenance and manners interesting, and his features and conversation, especially his interrogatories, put through the interpre ter, displayed considerable intelligence and acuteness. His officers followed him at a respectful distance, and they carried richly-ornamented scymitars or swords. His Highness remained about an hour in the bazaar, during which time the Mayor and Mayoress were intro duced to him; also Mr. Cobden, and Mr. G. B. Porter, of the Board of Trade, who has been:fur some days on a visit to the town and neighbourhood. During the visit of the Prince the bazaar wes thronged with curious visitors. The receipts of Saturday were, at the doors, :.8/. as.; stalls, 3391 18s. 10d.; total, 398 L I s. 101 On Monday there was a still larger influx of visitors, 781. s'. being received at thtedoors, and 2691. 19i. 4d. at the stalls; total, 348/. 4s. 4(1.. making tl.e total receipts of the five days 1,934/. 18s. 6d. Yesterday the receipts at the doors were 841. 6i , and at the stalls 382/. 20. ; together making the receipts of the sixth and last day 466/. Bs. ; and the total aggregate receipts of the six days 2,401/. 6s. 6d. We understaed that there still re main articles unsold worth 1,40e1. or 1,500/., and that it is intended to dispose of them by rattle or otherwise, in about a fortnight. —Manchester Guardian. TEXAS—SLAVERY. The following resolutions, introduced bv Governor Run nels were adopted by the Convention on the 29th ult.: " Resolved—That the committee on the general provisions of the constitution be instructed to inquire into the expe diency and propriety of incorporating in the constitution the following provisions : " SLAVES.—I. The Legislature shall have to power to T)lss laws for the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owners, or without paying their owners previous to such emancipation, full equivalent for the slaves so emanci pated. They have no power to prevent immigrants to this state from uringing with them such persons as are deemed slaves by the laws of any one of the United States, so long as any person of the same age and description shall be con tinued in slavery by the laws of this state; provided that such person or slave he the bona fide property of such immi grants; and provided also, that laws may be passed to pro hibit the introduction into this state of slaves who have committed high crimes in other states or territories. They shall have full power to oblige the owners of slaves to treat them with humanity, to provide for them necessary food and clothing, to abstain from all cruelties to them, and in case of their neglect or refusal to comply with the ralitisltion of such laws, to provide, by law, for the sale of such slave or slaves, for the benefit of the owner or owners. " 2. In the prosecution of slaves for crimes of a higher grade than petit larceny, the Legislature shall have no higher power to deprive them of an impartial trial by petit jury. "3. Any per: on who shall maliciously dismember or de prive a slave of life, shall suffer such punishment as would be inflicted in case. the like offence had been committed on a free white person, and on the like proof, except in case of in surrection of such slave."—lbughton Telegraph. 'LE INCREASE OF ATTORNEYS. —According to the offi cial list published by the authority of the members of the Law In. stitution, it appears that 179 persons have given notice of intend ing to apply during the ensuing Michaelmas term to be admitted as attorneys to practice in the several Courts at Westminster. ARREARS OF BUSINESS IN TILE COURT or QUEEN'S BENCII. —Not% Ithstanding the exertions made by the judges of this Court, and the extension of their sittings under Lord Denman's Act in Banco, the special . business of the Court is still greatly in arrear ; according to the list made out and corrected for .the ensuing term, it appears there are 128 rules for new trials standing for argument, one of which was moved for in Michaelmas Term, 1943, and the same list also contains the names of seven causes, in which rules for new trials had been granted, but are waiting the judgment of the Court ; one, the Corporation of Colchester v. Brooke, being dated so long back as Michaelmas Term, 1842. The special paper is also heavy, there being 53 special cases and demurrers in addi tion to the enlarged rules. On the Crown side there are 32 en larged rules, and 19 cases in the Crown paper; the arrear of busi ness at Nisl Prins, both in London and Middlesex, is, however, comparatively light; in the Courts of Exchequer and Common Pleas, the arrears of business, particularly the latter, so far as the causes, numerically may be considered, as compared with the Queen's Bench, is trifling. GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, OCT. 21.--Notwith standing the fall in prices here, the accounts from Liverpool state the prices as higher, with increased firmness. Sales were made here to-day at 87s. 6d., although there appear to be few sellers at this price. Many holders are willing to quit at 90s. We quote 89s. cash as the price of the day.—Glasgow National. HONESTY THE BEST Pot.fey.—We insert the fol lowing, communicated fr om a quarter on which we- can rely, iu the hope the prov. rb may once more be realised. An Englishman, an old resident in this town, who has been ac customed to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, and was consequently found in situations sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, has, from adverse fortune, seen the last extras - eof the latter, and is now in ourjail. It appears that he was arrested on Friday last by a tradesman of the town (likewise an Englishman) for 385 - francs, the costs in an action some time sinCe decided between the parties. Under standing that his creditor would accept 100 francs in full of all demands, if he could raise the money, he applied to a French gentleman. in the Upper Town (and gentleman he is, as hun dreds can testify) who haying heard his tale immediately presented him with the needful. Pleased beyond description he bast ewd to his creditor to tell the happy news. Judge of his feedings when the latter insisted on his full demand.' The poor man returned heavy hearted to his kind protector, explained that his assistance was of no avail, returned the 100 fr., and went to prison. 'We have heard much of French tradesmen persecuting their English debtors, but after this, " the less said the better."—Boulogne Gazette. ACCIDENT AT TivIDALE.—A fatal accident oc curred on Thursday night last to a raan named Benjamin Nicholls, who was engaged in the pit of Messrs. Wagstaff and Skidmore (where the late dreadful explosion occurreo), in getting coal. The cause of death, a very frequent one in the mines of South Staffordshire, was a portion of coal giving way in the working in which Nicholls was engaged, which buried him underneath, by which he was dreadfully crushed, and died of the injuries he re ceived. An inquest was held before George Hinchliffe, Esq., Coroner, when it appeared that no blame was attached to any one con nected with the managem ent of the pit, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death. "—Worcestershire Chronicle. PRICE OF BREAD IN EDINBURGII.--ACCOrding to the average price of wheat in the Edinburgh market, the four pound loaf is crow sold at eightpence-halfpenny ready money, or if paid within a month ; and ninepence credit. Flour, 3s. 4d. per etone. The magistrates have issued a proclamation, enjoining upon all bakers and others to weigh the bread sold by them before their customers. The authorities have also warned the patties that, in ease of neglect, they are liable to the statutory penalty of 40s. ACCIDENT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—AII acci dent of a somewhat alarming character, but, happily, not attended with any very serious consequences, occurred the other day at Buckingham Palace. While some of the workmen who are em. ployed in erecting a stone staircase, to lead to the Queen's private apartments, were lowering a large stone, one of of the ropes gave way, when the former, with its immense weight . , was precipitated upon the structure beneath, an.t completely crushedit. FORGERY BY A You-Ill.—A boy, lift een years of age, was committed from Greenwich Police-court on Wednesday charged il i kth having forged two cheques for 151. and 20/. in the Dame of the firm, Major and Wallace, on Messrs. Barclay's bank. ing-house, where they had been cashed. The principal evidence against the prisoner was a letter written to his limber-ill-law from Maidstone gaol, in reply to one upbraiding hint for his con. duct. In that letter Collins admitted having forced open a drawer and got possession of a blank cheque-book, and filled iti the two cheques. The prisoner- was apprentice to Mr. Lindells, of Bridge. court, Fleet.street. The prisoner's brother.in-law is clerk to Messrs. Major and Wallace, and the prisoner lived in his house, and by this means had -opportunity of imitating the signature of the fit m. SYMPTOMS or REACTION.—From the rumours so industriously circulated by some of our contemporaries, it would appear as if no deposits were in future to be paid, and that every railway prospectus was based on fraud and nourished on pecula. liars. But how stands the fact? The cry of want of money, , the audacious assertion that no deposits would in fu ture be paid, was refuted by the fact,- that never was greater anxiety evinced to be in time, than yesterday. 'She crowds at the various banks between four and five o'clock were unpara leted ; the anxiety depicted on every countenance showed how much they feared being ten late. And these proceedings show that the malignant influence attempted to be exercised has no per. manent influence on the market —The Shareholder. FIRE AT PoRT-DUNDAS GLAsSWORKtie —On Thursday forenoon, a fire occurred at these extensive works, which might have been of very serious consequences, - but for the prompt and energetic assistance aftbrded by the fire-bri• gads', which was speedily on the spot, and, aided by the workmen, succeed in preventing the flames from extending to the bottle.-houses, works, and warehouses, confining its r r a o v i ages wholly to the crown-glass house, lately erected, the stored which was entirely destroyed.

The facts of the case are of a most singular character. It appeared, from the evidence of Haylock and other witnesses, that owing to continued depredations havirg for the last month been committed on Earl Fortescue's pre serves, the keepers received orders to watch for the par ties. The poachers continued, however, to elude the vigi lance of the keepers until Thursday night last, when Hay lock being out on his usual rounds, armed with a gun, heard the report of fire-arias in a preserve adjoining the field which he was then crossing. Without waiting for assistance, he ran in the direction from whence the sound proceeded, and perceived a man making off' towards the opposite side of the preerve.. Hayloek, a young and active man, soon gained upcu the fellows, and the night being bright, he re cognised in the person c f the poacher the elder Kent (the prisoners are uncle and nephew), wt.o was well known in that part of the country as a common carrier between Boston, Horncastle, and Tattershall. The keeper challenged him by name, and laid if he did not surrender lie should fire upon him. The fellOW made no answer, but being joined at the moment by his nephew and associates, the poachers turned round and made a show of resistanc , . The keeper rushed upon and grappled with the el 'cr prisoner, who, however, managed to shake him off, when the younger man lischarged his piece at the keeper, but fortunately without doing any serious injury to his person, owing to an intervening clump of trees. Both the poachers then attached him. Though opposed by such unequal odds, he maintained the struggle with his antagonists uudl the younger ruffian felled him to the earth by a blow on the head, with the but-end of his gun, Hayleck having previously broken his own piece in • the contest. The poachers, conceiving that he was dead, made off. After lying fur some time in a state of insensibi lity, he was restored to consciousness by acute pains in his chest and loins, his clothes having taken fire, as he sup posed, from the wadding which ruck him when young Kent discharged the After an ineffectual attempt to quench the lire, which had then penetrated to Ins chest, lie managed, though compelled, by the loss of blood from the wound inflicted on his head, to crawl to a shallow dike, and, by rolling his body in the water, to extinguish the fire. He then proceeded to the house of Mr. Jones, farm bailiff, who went off for Mr. Blades, surgeon, and upon that gentleman's arrival, the hemcerrage was stopped, but for the two fallen ing days the patient was considered to be in very great danger. On the following morning the constables of Tattershail, with stveral other- persons, visited the spot, which presented traces of the struggle. At the place where the keeper was knocked down there was a quantity of coagulated blood, to gether with his keys, a pocket knife, and at a short distance off, his powder horn, which was broken in pieces, the powder having exploded when the clothes took fire. A dead hare was also found, which the poachers, no doubt, threw away in their flight. Haylock having clearly identified his assailants, both were committed for trial at the next assizes. The elder Kent, though ostensibly pursuing the avocation of carrier, is un derstood to have been one of the most practised poachers in the district. THE RIVER PLATE. EMENT TO THE --- The following important intelligence from Buenos Ayres I was received at Liverpool on Wednesday, and posted in the Underwriters' Room : BUENOS AYRES, AUG. 18.—Two hundred marines have landed at Monte Video. Several English and French vessels have gone up the Uruguay to reconnoitre, and it is supposed that all amicable negotiations are now at an end. Rosas makes a merit of showing the utmost protection to all the English on shore. It will, in all probability, be a long affair with the forces now in the river ; but it is supposed they do not to push the matter, in expectation of the arrival of additional force. The Sala (House of Representatives) was occupied yes terday in reading the correspondence between this Govern ment and the foreign Ministers, which it is supposed will occupy them three days more, after which the discussion will take place. AUGUST 20.—1 t is said that the French and English forces intend taking immediate possession of Colonia, and placing a garrison there. This being a central point will prove a rendezvous for all the disaffected of Oribe's army. The feeling gains ground to-day that Rosas will resist to the last, so confident is he of his resourc s. It is said that he intends immediately to put the town under martial law, and turn every male out to dr:11 each day—keeping at least 15,000 men under arms in the town. AucatsT 21.—The Sala met again to day, and is said in • tend proposing to declare our treaty null and void, on the plea that the English have often violated it. In consequence of the blockade of Buseo by Ihe French and English ships, Oribe has declared a free port on the Lagoa Minim, from whence he will draw his supplies at a cheaper rate than at Buenos Ayres. BUENOS AYRES, AUGUST 19.—The Advices from Monte Video are to the 17th inst., several of Brown's vessels are fitting out under French and English flags, and the Monte Videan flotilla of boats was getting ready supposed for a cruise up the Uruguay. The French corvette Expeditive and the English schooner Dolphin returned here this morn ing. W. do not know what the plans of the admirals may he, but apparently Oribe will not evacuate the Monte Videan territory, unless compelled by superior force, and the admirals, although supreme by water, are very weak by land. In Buenos Ayres every thing remained very quiet, but the Gaceta has been very violent in its leading articles. Yester day the Sala met, and all documents regarding the negotia tions were laid before them : they are very volumnious. It seems to be generally understood that an appeal will be made to European cabinets, and it is supposed that the present conveyance carries despatches to that effect. The levies in the country, particularly to the south, continue, and the troops are being drawn nearer the town. AUGUST 20.—The reading of the documents at the Sala to-day has just finished, and to-morrow the discussion will commence. There is an opinion that the English and French vi ssels will be refused entry here; should this be the case, we may look for an immediate blockade. BUENOS AYRES. - - AUGUST 12.—You will find a copy of the dispatch from Mr. Ouseley to the Monte l'idean Government. By its tenor you will easily perceive that if this Government persists in not withdrawing its troops, serious consequences will follow. The anniversary of the defeat of the troops under General Whitelock was celebrated here to-clay in the most orderly manner. AUGUST IG: 7 -Please request our friends to suspend ship ments, even of goods prepared, for we see no prospect of any arrangement ; but, on the contrary, that this port will have to be blockaded, and a powerful expedition sent to this country, before this Government will accede to the unjust deMands of England and France. We are think ing of shippidg, all our goods to Valparaiso. You have ed.' closed a copy of the memorial to Lord Aberdeen ; it hai no other object in view than the protection of British interests in these countries, and to stay, if possible, the certain ruin which must attend us, it' an armed inter vention is continued. You will notice by the newspapers the spirit Which is growing up against us, and it is but too true that it is the work of our own Government ' • and surely, as British subjects, we have a r i g ht to oppose by all legal means such as may bring•our ruin. The local political affairs of the country do not concern us so long as we are amply protected, which; in the strictest sense, we have hitherto been. Everything remains tranquil here, and we are without later dates from Monte Video, which seems to be a studied measure on the part of the Ministers. Brazil, it is believed, will be neutral. The army of General Oribe will never be compelled to retire by the blockade of the Banda Oriental. Supplies will be received by him through Rio Grande, and already a free port has been declared on the Laguna, which communi cates with Rio Grande. . The destruction if property i.i the Banda Oriental will be greater than ever, and the truth will then become more manifest, that by armed in tervention England is only destroying the proper y of her own subjects, inasmuch as the debts due cannot be paid if the natives are ruined by the war; and the property of Bri• tish subjects cannot be expe,ted to share a better fate than that which befalls the property of the inhabitants; more especially so, when the Governments of England and France have undertaken to redress the real or imaginary wrongs of the nativee—a matter which, in reality, does not concern them. There is no business doing, the shopkeepers sell nothing, and they cannot pay. Exchange is 8-Id. per paper dollar. Notwithstanding the stron: , ; petition of the captains of vessels loading at the Busso to be allowed city a few days beyond the 12th August, Mr. Turner, our chargé d'affaires at Monte Video, refused, and they were obliged to return to Buenos Ayres only partly laden. During yesterday the following accidents were admitted at Guy's Hospital. The first case was that of Mary Ann Collett, aged thirty-nine years. She resided at 77, Devonshire-street, Kennington. At an early hour on the same morning, the lodgers in the house we re a l arme d at t he fire; cause, they extinguished they found her in e hearing screams proceeding from her bed-room, when, tl upon bedl itLs with h t e l r ti t n h g r h t t o_ c t i t o s t c h ascertain flames as speedily as Possible, and conveyed her to the hos pital. She was so m uch burnt about the Lead, hack, and arms, that she has been unable yetlo account for the ce tcur renee. The second case was that of Robert Robinton, an apprentice on board the ship Victoria, now lying oft' St. Katharine Docks. On crossing the deck his foot slipped, and he was precipitated her.dforemost down the hatchway into the held, falling upon his head, whereby he sustained a severe concussion of the brain Ile lies in a very pre carious state. The third case was that of Theresa Littlewood, aged ten years, whose parents reide in Broadwall, Black friars, NVIIO, nbilst reaching something from the mantel-piece, set her frock on fire. She was severely burnt about the neck, shoulders, and hips. The fourth case was that of Robert Orern, aged thirty-three 3 - ears. lie was at work on his master's premises, No. 15, Charles-street, Oakley street, Lambeth, attending to a horse, when he was squeezed by the animal against the wall of the building, by which he received several severe contusions, besides internal injuries. IMPROVEMENTS IN PICCADILLY.—The Commis• simmers of Woods and Forests have commenced their projected im. provements in Piccadilly, which is to be widened to 70 feet, from Park-lane to Bolton-street, by taking in about 30 feet of the Green. park. • The workmen have already removed a large portion of the iron railing, and razed the ground, the brick wall, and the lodge. The improvement is to be completed with all possible dispatch ; it will be of great advantage to the inhabitants as well asto the public. OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LUDGATE- HILL.--:Yester day afternoon, about four o'clock, an accident occurred on Ludgate hill, which leaves no doubt will be attended with the death of a fine and beautiful male child, named Edward Flemming, aged five years, the sun of a glass manufacturer of that name, residing at No. I, Loveday-street, Smithfield. It appears that a Wandsworth and City omnibus was proceeding down Ludgate-hill, when the child was observed suddenly to shoot out from among the throng of passers-by into the road, and before the driver was aware of the cir cumstance the poor child was knocked down by the horses, and the near fere-wheel had passed over . his neck and head. The little sufferer was conveyed to St. Bartholomew 's Hospital. The unfor tunate: child, who, it was stated could not possibly survive many bem, was in the clr:, , ge of a female servant. ENT llNsll' !.; ROBBERY OF PLATE. AT ROCBE3TER. —A quatitny ei plate missing yesterday morning from the 'anti - + of the house of Captain Thoroas Baker, at Boliy.hill, Roett•aster.

THE MIDLAND RAILWAY ACCIDENT. We have received the following additional particulars of this sad event, an account of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. A few errors appeared in our former account. The accident took place at a spot about a mile and a half on the Leeds side of the Cudworth or Barnsley - station, and not between Wath and airfield, as previously stated. It was however, whilst between the two latter stations that the engine became impaired, and was unable to convey the train at the usual rate. In this part of the line the two o'clock lug gage train from Leeds passed the train at so slow a pace that the enginemen were able to speak to each other, and the person who had the charge of the luggage train was desired by the engineer of the other train to end a pilot or assistant engine to assist the mail train on its journey to Leeds This latter train continued its course, and passed the Cud worth station about 20 minutes before the arrival of the assistant engine, which was dispatched from Masbrough. The usual red caution or signal lights attached to the tail of the train were then visible from the station, and the watchman at the station pointed this circum stance out to the driver of the assistant engine. The latter then proceeed with his engine, and, after going a short distance, seeing that he was approaching the train, he partly turned off the steam, in order to slacken his pace ; but, as he himself subsequently stated, seeing a white light—the signal for the way being clear, or that he was to go on-exhibited by the guard of the mail train, he again put on the steam, and almost instantly ran with great violence into the train. It would thus appear, that it was owing to the accidental or negligent exhibition of a white instead of a red light by the guard the engineer of the as sistant engine was induced to hasten his speed at a spot su near in proximity to the crippled train that he could not prevent the collision. The three latter carriages of the train, which were all for Leeds, became detached from the rest of the train, which consisted of carriages going to York, Newcastle, &c. These three carriages were thrown off the line and greatly damaged. The last of them was a second-class carriage, and its buffers were struck with such immense force by the engine as to be driven into the first compartment of the next preceding carriago, which was a first-class one. In this compartment were Mr. W. Fuller Beteler, Bankruptcy Commissioner ; Mr. Jonathan Andrews, of Leeds, sharebroker ; and Inspector Child and Sergeant Stubbs, of the Leeds detective pike force. The injuries sustained by Mr. Boteler were much more seri ous than we were at first led to believe. Both this gentle man's legs were struck by one of the buffers, and were both broken below the knee, and his person was otherwise consi derably injured. Mr. Stubbs sustained a compound fracture of one of his legs ; Mr. Ahclrews and Mr. Child both vceived some severe contusions and bruises, and are still unable to attend their usual avocations The passengers in the other two comp-rtments of the carriage escaped with little or no injury. What is somewhat remarkable, two gentlemen• who were in the centre division of the second-class carriage, which was first struel , , also escaped with a few slight bruises. Mr. Botder was speedily con veyed to his own residence at Oulton, near Leeds, and front the latter town several medical gentlemen were quickly in attendance upon the unfortunate sufferer. After a ens ;1- • tation amoz.gst Mr. S. Smith, Mr. T. P. Tcaie, Mr. Key, and Mr. Chorlev, it was considered that amputation of one of Mr. Boteler's !ens was necessary, and the operation was performed the same evening. At the time ( f this being written (Tuesday evening) the unfortunate sufferer was in such a state as to precludethe slightest hope of his recovery; indeed, he was not expected to survive more than a few hours. The learned gentleman, who is about seventy years of age, is highly respected by all who know him, and espe cially by those who have had an opportunity of witnessing his conduct in his judicial capacity. For the last few weeks he had been sojourning in Kent with his family, and was re turning home alone; but information of the sad event has been forwarded to them, and they were hourly expected at Oulton. Mr. Stubbs was taken to the Leeds General In firmary, and his fracture was reduced the same evening, and the latest report states that he is going on favourably. The Directors of the Midland Railway Company have commenced an inquiry into the cause of the accident, and they have done all in their power to assuage the sufferings of the per sons who were hurt. We may add, that one person who is still unwell, and stayirg at one of the inns at Leeds unable to pursue his usual calling, is Mr. Collins, who had been sent from London to the north by Sir John Rennie on rail . way business. A commercial gentleman, named Lee, has also been somewhat severely injured, and is thereby detained in Leeds. The occurrence of this accident has excited • strong feelings of grief in Leeds and the neighbourhood, and there is a general demand for a thorough investigation into the whole case. The following letter, from the son of Mr. Matthew Hill, • • the eminent barrister, who was a passenger by the train, was published in a morning paper of yesterday :—" Don't be alarmed, I am all safe, lite and limb, but I bud the narrowest _ escape I ever met with. Soon after we passed Sheffield our 5 engine burst one of its cylinders, and broke the piston-rod. - This was cleared in about a quarter of an hour, and with the - other cylinder we proceeded about four miles beyond - Buursley, at a foot pace, sending word by a luggage-train that passed us for a fresh engine: this overtook us at such a _ - violent peer, as to crush up the last carriage, a second-class, _ and drive it bodily into the one I was sitting in- a first- class. - Fortunately, I was in the centre compartment, and not in the - last. I was thrown furiously forward, and pitched head first into the opposite seat. I lost no time, you may be sure, in _ picking myself up and getting out, when a horrible scene pre - senteeitself. The compartment immediately behind mine - was filled with shrieking and groaning victims, calling for - assistance. The guard and I soon opened the door and dragged - one man out, who, the moment lie reached the ground, fi 11. We soon had him up, and I led him to the bank, seated him, f- elt his leg, and pronounced no bones broken. Returning - to the carriage, I saw a horrid sight—an old gentleman with - white hair was sitting with firm determination, his legs - being both jambed between the buffer of the second class, - which had penetrated into the centre, and his own seat - one leg cut completely off, except a small piece of flesh, and - the other dreadfully smashed; and what was worse, so fast - were the carriages stuck, that it was nearly an hour before - he could be released. A poor man with one leg escaped by - a miracle losing that one, and as it is is much hurt; a lady is much cut, and bruises arc like blackberries. As soon as - I saw sufficient people attending the wounded I sent an old - gentleman, with a terribly crushed hat, one way with a red - lamp, whilst I went the other with another; by this means - we stopped a down train, which might have rushed in upon - all the passengers. Soon after daylight an engine came and - fetched us away. My carriage was forced off the rails, and - the rest of the train before it broke away, and went on for - 100 yards, in which we went on.

LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) WESTRUP AND COCKSEDGE'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupts in this case were flour factors and biscuit manufacturers, carrying on business at New Crane Wharf and Northfleet. Cocksedge has obtained his certificate, and Westrup now applied for his. The application was opposed by Mr. Cook, and supported by Mr. E. James. The grounds of opposition were, the generally fraudulent conduct of the bankrupt towards his partner Cocksedge, and the consequent sacrifice of the creditors. It was al leged, that although the business was in an insolvent state when Cocksedge was induced to join it, West nip made representations that his affairs were in a flou rishing and progressive position. Under these circum stances Cocksedge, after having advanced a considerable sum of money, purchased for upwards of 3,0001, the re tiring partner's share, and it was then stated that a firm of the name of Finnis and Fisher owed the concern 1,750/. It however subsequently appeared that such was not the case, and that the firm of Westrup and Co. were its debtors for 500/, which sum Westrup actually paid them. This con duct was alleged to be grossly fraudulent towards Cocksedge, who, in the course of his partnership, had allowed about 32,000!. to be raised by morteage on his property in Bury St. Edmund's, a great deal of which had gone for the pur poses of the firm. The bankruptcy was for 18,0001., and a dividend of is. 6d. in the pound had been paid. There were other allegations against Westrup, but on this charge of fraud rested the weight of the case. The prayer of the op ponents was that the bankrupt be refused his certificate altogether, as he was cot a fit person to be allowed to enter into business. Mr. JAMES said lie hoped witnesses would be called to prove these allegations. The opposition, though represented to be that of creditors, was in reality the opposition of Cocksedge. Cocksedge ought at least to be called, and his examination would soon show what weight there was in the allegation of fraud. Mr. Commissioner EVANS SLid the charge of fraud was borne out by the proceedings. He, therefore, saw little use in having Cocksedge examined. He would, however, give the bankrupt Westrup the opportunity to examine Cocksedge by granting an adjournment, but the expenses could not be paid by the estate. 11Ir. Jaams regretted to hear that from the Commissionef. He hoped by examination to have removed the charge of fraud from the bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner EVANS said it appeared clearly on the proceedings that the bankrupt Westrup had represented Finnis and Fisher to be debtors to the cencern for 1,700!., whereas, on the contrary, they were creditors for 500/, which 500/. - Sad been paid; and nothing of this was brought to light till it was investigated by the official assignee. Cock ssdge knew nothing of this, and if he was called it was not likely they would hear that he did. To have consented to join such a person in a state of affairs of this description would have proved him a fool—an idiot. Although it might be said that Cockseege had been in some measure indiscreet, still he ought to be protected. He would therefore not make the adjournment without Westrup bore the expenses. Mr. JAMES said, the bankrupt could not afford to do that, and it was pressing hard upon him to require it. Mr. Commissioner EvANs replied that as he considered the bankrupt's conduct to have been grossly fraudulent, he should make no other proposition. Even had Cocksedge consented to the fraud, it remained with the Court to consider what the conduct of the bankrupt had been in his dealings. Mr. JAMES feared there was little use in proceeding with the case if his Honour had made up his mind. Mr. Commissioner EVANS said, the fraud was so self-evi dent that there was no other alternative. If the creditors were satisfied, they could remise the bankrupt. There was the offer open of adjournment, if he chose to accept it. Mr. JAMES hoped the Court was not giving a hasty de cision. Mr. Commissioner EVANS said that was scarcely possible. lie had had the case under'his attention since October, 1844, and every time it came beforehim he was the more convinced a the fraudulent nature of the bankrupt's conduct. Under these circumstances, he felt it was his duty to the public to refuse the certificate.—Certificate refused accordingly. PETER BORDENAYE'S INSOLVENCY. In this case the insolvent was described as a gentleman without occupation. Ile had incurred a large amount of debts without assets to st.tisfy them, and as it appeared his prospects in life never warranted the accumulation of liabili ties arrayed against him, the Court ordered his petition to be dismissed forthwith. The other cases heard were not of the least importance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIUN-HOUSE. John Spillard was charged with having pulled the nose of John Chick Worthington, in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange. Mr. A\ orthingtor, a dealer in raw silk, stated that on Friday week be went to a broker in Bartholomew-lane, and askeda gentleman with whom he entered into conversation the price of certain shares. The gentleman beckoned to the . defendant, as a person who could give the information, but he (complainant) declined having any communication with the defendant, who asked the cause of such refusal, and com mitted the degrading assault attributed to him. The complainant, in answer to a question, said that he had not called the defendant a scamp until the defendant had taken him by the nose. S. Worthington, braher to the complainant, stated that the defendant committed the assault upon the complainant's refusal to do any business with him. The defendant declared that he had treated the com plainant with the indigni y described because the provoca tion given was one of the most insupportable insults. The complainant had, without rhyme or reason, applied the name " scamp" to him, and the act complained of naturally fol lowed such a description. Mr. Taylor stated, that Mr. Worthington asked him the value of some shares, and, as he did not know, lie called to Mr. Spillard to supply the information. When Mr. Spillard approached, Mr. NN orthington said, " I want to have nothing to do with you," and called Mr. Spillard a d—d scamp, in a voice quite loud enough to be 'heard by these around, upon which the operation of pulling the nose was instantly performed, very much to the dissatisfaction of the party re taliated upon. The Lunn MAYOR said, the assault was clearly proved, and he should hold the defendant to bail in the amount of 201., to answer the charge at the sessions. GUILDHALL. Dryden Elstob, a young man of respectable connexions, and dressed as an officer of her Majesty's Navy, was brought before Mr. Alderman Wood for re-examination, charged with being a deserter from the 3d Regiment of Dragoons. William Ledbam, a city police-constable, stated, that as he was passing through • Newgateastreet on Monday he met the prisoner, and recognised him as a person who had been advertised in the Police Gazette as having deserted from the regiment in Ireland about two months ago. Witness was formerly a private in the same regiment, from which the prisoner had deserted twice before. The prisoner, assuming a tone of high indignation, assured the magistrate the policeman was totally mistaken. He never was or wished to be a soldier. It was a most scandalous pro ceeding to drag a gentleman to a police-office in this way and falsely charge him with beinga deserter. He could refer to Mr. Jeremy, the magistrate, and many other gentlemen, who knew him. Mr. Alderman Woos asked the policeman if he was not labouring under some mistake , here. The policeman said he was not. He had been in the same regiment two years with him. He could find a sergeant of the regiment who would know him. The prisoner looked at the policeman with astonishment, said it was all false, and he was a perjured man. Mr. Alderman Wools observed that the policeman could hardly be mistaken ; but he would let the case stand over for a day for further proof. s Yesterday, when the prisoner was again put to the bar, he was confronted with a recruiting officer from the regiment, who is in town, who positively identified him, and the prisoner no longer resisted the charge. Mr. Alderman Wool) committed him to the Compter for safe custody till demanded by his regiment. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged man of very respectable appearance, named Thomas Giles, was placed at the Par before Mr. Broughton, charged with stealing a quantity of household furniture, the trust property of Mr. James Van Somer, of Upper Clapton, secretary to the Stock Exchange. Mr. Van Somer stated that some time back the prisoner made application to him to become tenant of a furnished cottage at Upper Clapton, forming part of the estate of a lunatic, of which he was trustee, and the references the pri soner gave appearing to be in every respect satisfactory, he agreed to let him the house at a rental of 50 guineas per year, the prisoner paying one half-ye ar's rent in advance. Possession was taken of the premises, snd nothing whatever occurred to cast a doubt upon the prisoner's respectability until about a fortnight ago, when witness i eceived informa tion that the house bad been deserted and shut up; and on his recovering possession of it he found that a large quantity of the furniture and effects which lied been let with it, con sisting, in fact, of ahnost everything that could be well re moved without exciting suspicior, had been carried off. He, in consequence, gave immediate information to the police of the robbery, and on the preceding evening he had been ap prised that the prisoner was in custody. Police-constable 94 N, stated that he had been engaged in unremitting exertions to trace the prisoner's retreat ever since the 9th instant, but unsuccessfully until the preceding evening; when, while passing down Newgate-street, he ac cidentally met with him, and took him into custody. On being informed of the charge against him, the prisoner at once acknowledged that the property had been unlawfully dispcsed of, and handed him 18 duplicates relating to a por tion of it. which had been pledged at the shops of different pawnbrokers. In answer to the charge, the prisoner disclaimed any fraudulent intention in the conversion of the property, and Leen apprised th a t t wo 'sheriff's officers i n t g for him in an a dj o i n i ng h ouse,t h e servants said that his motive f ar a b scond i ng was to avoitt an arrest f l o ve r r i e le l b y t i , n l g ie in ha w v a i of which were conniving at their proceedings. Mr. 131iOUGHTON c:;usidered that a Wrung facie case of felony had been established against the p r i soner , on w hi c h it was his duty to commit him to prison, b u t as some f o r ma l confirmatory testimony was requisite to complete the charge, he must be brought up again on that day week for its being taken. Elias Phil, a boy only l 2 years of age, was then placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a quantity of jewellery and numerous other articles, the property of his father, a tradesman in Gloucester-street, Iloatim. The father, who was much affected, said that the prisoner had exhibited a most unaccountable propensity to thieve for a number of years p ast, and that althou g h every effort had been used to reclaim him, it had been en ti re l y that l g e had forc e d o p en several drawers and stolen a number of seals, rin g s, brooches, with him, th e i unsuccessful. About a w eek a g o it was discov ered that he had suddenly absconded front home, and it being surmised itilioautsehlevahaaedxammoisnte(pi,rol,b,hatbnlyitt‘acaksellnausolndl thetha and numerous articles of wearing apparel, altogether form ins: a large bundle, with which he had decamped. Informa tiOn was forwarded to the police, and a search was kept up after him for four days, but he had contrived to elude pur suit until the preceeding evening, when he was taken by a policeman, who found upon him the remainder of the stolen property, consisting of two bracelets, three gold brooches, two ear drop, _five books, and five silk handker chiefs: It then appeared that the little rascal had been f. w of the article.? each day and supporting himself ou the gradually decreasing Ins stock of plunde r b y dis p osin g of a pros: eds. • A watchmaker named King, in the Eingsland-mad, pro duced one of the stolen broaches, which he had purchassed from the prisoner on such an artfully concocted story as to disarm the wittness of all suspicion. 'Mr. Ilnoccarroar feelingly impressed upon the prisoner the ruinous consequence s of the course he had pursued, and put it to his father, whether it was his intention to prosecute his son? The father said, that the incorrigible depravity of tl e lx y had almost broken his mother's heart, and although it w: extremely painful to his own feelings, lie felt compete 1 to persevere in the prosecution, as it was evident the pr. a mcr was thoroughly hardened and irreclaimable.

In consequence of the incorrectne. , s of the lists of governors presented on St. Matthew's day to the Lord Mayor, his Lordship refused to confirm them, and sent them back to the hospital for revision. It had been particularly observed that the authority of the Lord Mayor as the head of Christ's Hospital, upon two recent occasions, was altogether denied by the majority of the governors, viz., those governors who do not derive their 60ns from a City of London enrpol ation parentage. The subject was taken up by the Corporation upon the presentation of the Lord Mayor's report of what had occurred on St. Matthew's day at Christ's Hospita'., and a resolution was adopted unanimously, after a high eulogium upon the firm and judicious conduct of the Lord Mayor, that his Lordship should be requested to send round to the several hospitals for corrected lists, and to appoint a day to receive theta. It was generally understood that those who had denied the authority of the chief magistrate as head of the royal hospitals intended to close the doors of Christ's Hospital against him and the other members of the Corporation, and much interest was excited by the expectation that a row would take place. The consequence of the non-contirma tion of the lists is, that the new governors are for the time At about half-past two o'clock the governors of the several royal hospitals began -to assemble, but on arriving at the grand entrance in Newgate-street they found the doors locked, and they were told that the entrance to the hos pital was at Christ Church-passage. They proceeded to that entrance, which leads to the court-room, and were on the way met by Mr. Trollope, the clerk of the hospital, who informed them, upon being told that they had been sum moned to attend a general court, that be had orders not to admit them. At three o'clock the af tendance became very numerous. Precisely at that hour the Lord_Mayor, Aldermen, and mem bers of the Court of Common Council, who are governors, arrived at the grand entrance, preceded by the City Marshals, in their state dresses. The bell was rung, and admittance- was formally demanded for the Lord Mayor. Mr. Trollope then made his appe..:rance, and read a paper, which stated that the Lord Mayor would be allowed free access at all times to the hospital, but that his Lordship must not be present at any meeting of Governors not summoned by the President. Mr. Firth, the deputy town-clerk, then read a formal de mand of admission, which not having been obeyed, the pro cession retired. In the carriage with the Lord Mayor were Sergeant Mereweather, the town-clerk; Mr. Hick, the sword bearer ; and Mr. Beddow, the train bearer. In the next carriage were the Lord Mayor Elect and Sir John Pirie, the president of St. Thomas's Hospital; in the third were Sir George Carroll and Alderman Wilson. These were followed by car riages in which were Aldermen Kelly, Sir Chapman Marshall, Moon, Sidney, Hunter, &c. Among the members of the Common Council (governors) were Mr. R. L. Jones, of Cripple gate Ward; Mr. George Bracher, of Coleman-street Ward; 11Ir. R. Taylor, of Farrmgdon-without Ward; Mr. Eagleton, of Farringilon-within Ward; Mr. Prior, of Dowgate Ward; Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Bedford, of Farringdon-without Ward, &c &c. The matter is to be immediately referred to a court of law, and will in all probability lead to most imp ,, rtant conse qtmces, in the opinion of many of the civic poiitici?ns. A STRANGE, RACE,. -An American parr says that a correspondence is now going on between two gentlemen of Boston, which began ten years ago with a challenge. Mr. A., a bachelor, challenged Mr. 8., a married men with one child, who replied that the conditions were not equal, that be must necessarily be at more risk with his life than the other, and he declined. A year afterwards he received another challenge from Mr. A., who stated that he too had now a wife and a child, and t o supposed, therefore, the objection of Mr. B. no :onger vaid. W. B. re plied that lie had now two children, consequently the inequality still subsisted. The next year Mr. A. renewed his challenge, hawing now two children also, but his adversary had three. This matter, when last heard of, was still going on, the numbers being 84 in PM, and the challenge rrarty renewed. WINDSOR ELECTION. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—In consequence of some of the military, doing duty at Windsor, having actively canvassed for Colonel Reid, a letter, of which the following is a copy, has been forwarded to the Horse Guards on the subject : "TO lIIS GRACE THE DUKE Or WELLINGTON, K. G. , COM MANDE R-IN-CIII RR, lIOIISE GUARDS, LONDON. "My Lord Duke,—As an elector f Windsor, deeply in terested in the result of the forthcoming election, I take the liberty of addressing your Grace (as the Commander-in. Chief) for the purpose of complaining of the extraordinary, indeed, I may say, unconstitutional interference of several of the officers and non. commissioned officers in the 2cl Regi ment of Life Guards with the votes cif the electors. " The regiment is stationed within the borough, and your Grace will, I think, agree with me in opinion that, aithough the officer in command is one of the candidates to represent Windsor, in the rooni of the late Mr. Ratesbottom, it forms no pert of military duty for the officers and men to be en geged in actively canvassing. for votes. " Amongst those holding her 'Majesty's commission in the 2d Regiment of Life Guards who have thought proper to interfere with the free and independent votes of the elec tors, and who have privately as well as publicly attempted to induce several of the Burgesses to promise their votes to their commanding officer, are Lieutenant Bertie, Quarter master Allen, and Mr. F. W. G. Calder, Surgeon. " I trust that, for the sake of strict military discipline being preserved, and in order that no further efforts may be made by the officers of the regiment to coerce the voters in the exercise of the elective franchise, your Grace will take such steps in the matter as may be considered expedient to put a stop to the unseemly military interference of which I, as an elector, leave a right to complain. Relying upon your Grace's well-known courtesy to pardon this appeal to your sense of justice, I have toe honour to be, my Lord Duke, your Grace's most obedient, very humble servant. " Windsor, Oct. 18, 1845." The revision of the Windsor lists of voters for the borough, and also for this division of the county, took place this after noon, in the Town-ball, before Charles S. Whitmore, Esq., the Revising Barrister. The whole business occupied less than half an hour. The ten claims, on the county list, were allowed. One new claim was made for the borough, which was not objected to. There were no objections on either list, except by overseers, in consequence of deaths and removals. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Peverounr, Ocr.2l.—This morning, at 10 o'clock, her Mae jesty's ship Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, GB., (17th June, 1814), Commodore; the Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer; Rodney, 9.4 Captain Collier; and Superb, 80, Captain Corry, get under weigh in Plymouth Sound, and proceeded outside the Breakwater, where they lay too for some time. These ships were subsequently joined by the brig Daring, 12, Com mander H. J. Matson, and the Rattler steamer, and about 1 o'clock, the whole fleet proceeded down Channel with a spanking breeze from the north, the wind having veered to that point, from north-west in the morning. They carry the red ensign, which signifies that they are under the especial orders of the Lords t f the Admiralty. Tne only ship now left in Plymouth which belonged to the fine fleet composing the experimental squadron, is her Majesty's ship the Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker. She has discharged her gunpowder, and is now quietly moored in the Sound, bearing the flag of Sir John West, the gallant Port Admiral of this harbour. Wooewicer, OcT. 21.—The Meteor steam-vessel, Lieute nant-Commander Bottler, left Woolwich this morning, at six o'clock, to have her compasses adjusted at Greenhithe, and will proceed to Plymouth and Cork, for service at the latter station. The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., was taken out of the inner to the outer basin yesterday, and to-day into the river, preparatory. to her proceeding to an Mr lean station. All her spare gear has been taken on board, and every requisite for her important voyage. On the Bth inst. the workmen on board the Avon left tine vessel at the usual dinner hour, and a quautiiv of rum having just been taken on board, a private in the Royal Marines atteched to her was Lett in charge. On the return of the workmen, after being absent about an bonr, no Royal Marine was to be found, and the general impression was that he had taken that opportu pity to desert. After waiting two days, a notice was tub deserining his appearance, a! ,, l cfrefiig a reward t f fur ids apprehension. Notwithstanding every exertion was mad-, no trace could be ol,tained of hint until yesterday, when his body was found floating h the basin, but so sa ollen and di-figured by having been so long in the water, that it could Kamay be recognised by his corporal. The body was removed in a shell to await a coroner's inquest. The African steam-vessel arrived yesterday at Woolwich with Captain Pratt, Lieutenant Meheux, Lieutenant Wylde, 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, 1 drummer, and 49 privates of the Woolwich division of the 'loyal .Mari , ,es, disembarked from the Formidable, 81, recently rite flag-ship in the Mediterra nean, where they had served upwards of four years. The non-commissioned officers and men are to be paid off to morrow at the dockyard. The band was in readiness to play the party to the barracks on their arrival. he Chelsea pensioners have bad excellent weather fur their drill and exercises, which take place daily in the west square of the Royal Artillery Barracks. The non-commissioned officers and men look remarkably well in their new dress, and go through their exercises with great precision after a few hours' practice, although it is several years since many of them handled a musket for duty. A great many of them are small shopkeepers in and around Woolwich, and a few days' exercise will not interfere to a great extent with their busi ness, which is managed by their better halves during their absence. SHEERESS, Ocr. 2l.—This morning's post brought the promotion of Dr. John Grant. Stewart, R.N., who so nobly volunteered his services on board the ill-fated Eclair, to the rank of Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals; and also the pronto lion of Dr. William Rogers, Additional Assistant-Surgeon of the Ocean, now convalescent from fever contracted on board the Eclair, to the rank of Surgeon in the Navy. Dr. Coffey, late Assistant-Surgeon of the Growler, who volunteered at Madeira, has served the full time (three years) necessary to qualify him - for promotion, but has not yet undergone the n ecessary examinations. On his successfully passing these he will also be promoted to the rank of Surgeon ; and well this young gentleman deserves Iris promotion. As has been said of his brother officer, Dr. Sidney Bernard, who joined the Eclair with him at Madeira, but who unfortunately fell a victim to the fatal epidemic the very morning his promotion arrived here, " his duties, in their ordinary execution, could only be performed at the risk of his own life; in the present case they were accompanied by exertions which aggravated the danger, but were never re laxed by apprehensions of the fatal events hourly occurring." The Kroomen are still busy turning over the several stores of the Eclair to the Griffon, under the superintendence of Com mander Harston. She will afterw arils be thoroughly cleansed and fumigated. When that is completed all are to be ad mitted to pratique. The Formidable, 84 ; was paid off this day. The Dwarf steamer has been taken into the basin to under go some alterations. The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, was discharged from the basin yesterday, and is ordered to complete for sea with all dispatch. The Blenheim, 74, is to go to Blackwall to be fitted with the screw-propeller. From 20 to 30 labourers commenced digging the founda tions for the new fortifications .opposite the dockyard gate yesterday. Mr. Hall, of Queenborough; has also the contreet for these works. The repairs and alterations of the old works are being carried on by the same gentleman with the greatest vigour and alacrity. Viscount and Vineountess Palmerston entertained a select circle at dinner on Tuesday evening, at their residence, on Carlton-house-terrace, the Earl and Countess Cowper, Lord Ashley, Viscount and Viscountess .iocelyn, Hon. Spencer Cowper, Mr. Greville, &c., being among tt e guests. M. 'fillers, accoup.mied by Count Walewski, left Mivart's Hotel, yesterday morning, at an early hour, for Paris. We undeistai:d M. Tillers had a lengthened interview with Viscount Palmerston on Tuesoa% afternoon, and was to have dined with the Noble Viscount and Viscountess in the evening, who had invited a select circle to meet the ex. French Premier; hut owing to other engagements he was obliged to decline the pleasure. - ies EARL. us' Vl.Rui.ADt -1% t-• blippy it , heetr that the Noble Earl was considered to have passed a favourab;e night on Tuesday, and was yesterday rather better. There is but little, if any, hope of the Noble Earl's Eventual recovery. .Eurl alit! Countess lie d James's . square on Wednesday, from Bath, after a prolonged residence in that city. The Noble Earl's health has improved beyond all ex. peetalions, and we learn that his Lordship and establishment re. move early in the ensuing week for Wrest Park, Bads, for the winter season. MINERAL DISCOVERIES Ilsi AUSTRALIA.—New covt Tics of copper have been mane at about two miles beyond the light, and the pi - chat:le exit nt of the misiera!ir there will shortly superinduce the occupation of the viduabl c„rn lands and pas turages comprised in the two special surveys inteyFected by the river above-mentioned. A copper lode recently discovered on the estate of Mr. A. Hallett, beyond O'Halloran-hill, has been suffi ciently examined, and is pronounced a moat valuable property. Nor are these all the current discoveries. Messrs. Phitcox and Campbell have purchased a section near Willunga, on which a cop per lode has been laid bare to the extent of about eight fathoms, the quality of the ore being such as can be pronounced upon " at sight." We are almost tired of hearing about manganese; if all the reports are true (and we see no reason to doubt them), the de posits of this useful mineral are obviously great, if nut inexhaus tible.—Adelaide Cbserver, May 3. STREET CLEANIANESs.—The following notification, issued at the beginning of the present month, by the Prcfet de Police of the French capital, will show what attention is paid to these matters by the French authorities. The ordonnance begins by stating, that the sweeping of the public thoroughfares has to takeplace from the Ist of October to the 31st of March, between seven and eight a.m., and at no other time. The footways are to be scraped, swept, and washed ; and the conduits to be kept free from all impediment for the efflux of water, &c. After sorr.e other points of usual purport, the Paris authorities say :—" For the sake of reforming the habits so contrary to cleanliness am.d decency, the administration has authorised or caused the construction of urinals in several public thoroughfares, especially on the Place de la Concorde, the Boulevards, and many of the quays.—The Builder. _ _ LUNATIC ASYLUMS.—By the Lunacy Act, of last session, the several counties in England are to erect, cr to join with neighbouring counties in erecting, asylums for lunatics, which asylums are to be visited by the magistracy several times in a year. In the event of non-compliance in an erection, Government will order the buildings to be commenced. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE IN GREENWICH PARE. —Yesterday afternoon a lady and two children came down from London by the steam.boat, and proceeded to the Park for recrea. tion. A short time afterwards one of the children ran towards the deer, and held an apple for one of them to eat. A buck made up to the child and snapped at the apple, when the sharp-pointed horn of the animal perforated the upper lip of the little innocent, and divided it from the nostril to the side of its mouth. Tht bleed. ing and screams of the child drove the parent into a state of great anguish. Police.constable George Pritchard, 133 R, being on duty in the park, ran to the spot and rendertd his best assistance; he carried the b:eetling sufferer, accompanied by the parent and the second child, to the surgery of Dr. Gay Shute, in Bexley-place, Greenwich. Mr Shute, after stopping the bleeding, carefully sewed the lip together and the lady, with her two children, then proceeded to town by the railway, greatly distressed at the unfor. tur.ate event. - • ---. DUTY ON COALS BY RAILWAYS.—In the Coal Act of last session (8 and 9 Vie., c. 101) continuing the duty on coals from the 31st December matt for a period of seven years, there is a new provision with respect to coals conveyed by railways. By the second clause it is declared that the duty now imposed shall be extended upon all coals, culm, and cinders, brought to any place within the port of London, or within the cities of London and Westminster, and the borough of Bouthwark,or to any place within the aistance of twenty miles from the General Post-otlice, by ati: , railway already constructed or hereafter to he constructed.
