A speCial general meeting of the proprietors of this-Com pany was held to-day, at the Shoreditch station, to consider the proposition made by the Eastern Counties Company, as agreed to at the recent meeting held at the London Tavern, and presided over by Mr. Hudson, with a view to a more complete union of the two companies. Mr. KINNAIRD occupied the chair on the occasion, in the absence - of Mr. Paterson. . The SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling the meeting, The ()lummox addressed the proprietors in explanat ion of its objects. It was to consider the propriety of agreeing to a resolu tion which it would be his duty to lay before them, arising out of the altered circumstances of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. He had to apologise for the absence of Mr. Paterson, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, as the resolution to be submitted to them was a financial one, and he was peculiarly qualified to deal with it. Mr. Paterson was prevented being present by a serious accident, which had confined him for five weeks. With the assistance of his colleagues, however, he (the Chairman) would endeavour to place the question to be considered before them. At a recent meeting of the Eastern Counties Company, presided over by Mr. Hudson, a resolution was agreed to, that it was necessary to carry out the line from London to York, as an integral scheme. It was considered that a complete line thus carried out, under one management, would be much better for the public and the proprietors, than under several differ ent interests, as at present. Where there were separate in terests jealousies were apt to arise, and checks and difficulties to present themselves. He did not say that was the case in the present instance; still there had been circum stances that interfered with the harmonious feeling which it was necessary should exist. The Honourable Gentle man having explained the nature of the existing agreement between the two Companies, guaranteeing to the Northern and Eastern Counties five per cent. on their capital, with other contingent advantages, pro ceeded to explain the resolution to be submitted to the meet ing. It was in effect, whether they should be content with the 5 per cent., as now guaranteed, with the chance of 1-3 of a penny dividend on a million of capital, or by making a temporay sacrifice—for it was only a temporary one—secure to themselves a rateable benefit on nine millions of money. They (the present Com pany) would stand in the same position as before, as it re garded the guaranteed five per cent. as per agreement; but by consenting to the present proposition, they also secure a rateable interest in the whole concern, and participate in the general benefits of the whole extension. They would also have an advantage in the distribution of shares, as they would have two 20g. shares given them for every 501. share now held; while the Eastern Counties would only have a new one for every proprietor's share. If the Eastern Counties Company did not get their Bill for the extension of the line to York, then there would be no bargain, and they would stand exactly in their old position. With regard to that portion of the scheme, in which an offer was made to the London and York, they had nothing to do with it, though he thought it would be the interest of that Company to accept it, but as the distribution of the new shares would depend on the acceptance of the offer by that Company, should they refuse, another meeting of the present ; proprietors would have to be called, and the dis tribution of that unappropriated stock settled. The Chair man concluded by moving a resolution lo the effect that the proposition of the Eastern Counties Railway Company be accepted on the arrangement offered, viz., that of 5 per cent. on the million capital invested, according to the present agreement, the Company to take up new shares to the ex tent of another million in the extension scheme, and to par- ticipate in the share of profits divisible on that new stock, at the same rate per cent. as the other Companies that were subscribers to the new stock." The motion being seconded, DAVID SALO3IONS, Esq., rose and said he had listened with great patience to the able statement of the Chairman, still he must object to the proposition. It was not fair or equitable, and did not secure the Northern and Eastern Counties that position to which they were entitled. Looking at the value of the shares of the two companies he could not see what jus tice there was in the proposition. Mr. LEVI was decidedly against the resolution. He con sidered the Eastern Counties proposition all humbug. He owed allegiance willingly to Queen Victoria, but he would yield no allegiance to King Hudson. He moved an amend ment that it be rejected. Mr. BELL defended the resolution as advantageous to the Company, stating that they would be secured their 5 per cent. as before, and by merely giving up a chance of receiving one-third of a dividend on a capital of a million, after the agreed on dividend was paid—an arrangement which as yet had yielded them nothing—in lieu of a chance of a rateable dividend on 9,000,000 the whole capital that would be repre sented by the complete line from London to York. An HoN. PROPRIETOR moved another amendment, that the resolution submitted by the Directors be not agreed to, and that should the Eastern Counties Company require ir, the agreement between the two Companies be given up on condition that the former pay an increased rent charge. , This amendment being seconded, a long and animated dis cussion took place pro and con—those in favour of the resolu tion contending that it was highly important for them to secure the traffic of the north of England, as by a full develope ment of that the northern and eastern traffic would be doubled, besides other benefits that would be realised; and those in support of the amendments, maintaining that the present Company was not a speculative one ; that many had embarked in it trust, and other moneys of that nature on the faith that it was not such, and that it was not well for them to enter upon a hazardous scheme like the one projected, which would bring them in col lision with hostile parties without any certainty of success. The CHAIRMAN, after consulting with the Directors said, that though they (the Directors) had been unanimous in recommending the resolution submitted, still they considered that difficulties might arise respecting those who had invested trust-moneys in the Company; therefore. if they left the matter in the hands of the Directors, they might arrange with the Eastern Counties Company for a larger guaranteed dividend than 5 per cent., in order to give the parties referred to an option of withdrawing, instead of going into the extension scheme. He still thought they could not better secure their interests than by agreeing to the extension scheme. They ought at least to look well into it ere they decided. Mr. FELL suggested, from what the Chairman had stated, that it would be better to adjourn the meeting, to enable the Directors to see it they could not negotiate better terms with the Eastern Counties Company. The movers of the amendments at once consented to this course, and the Directors having agreed to withdraw their re solution, a unanimous vote was come to that the meeting do stand adjourned till Wednesday the 26th instant. The meeting, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Directors, then adjourned. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY. The Queen, and her Royal Highness the Princess Augus tus of Saxe Cobourg, attended by Lady Portman and Madame Angelet, took an airing this forenoon, followed in another carriage by Lord Byron and Sir Frederic Stovin. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, the Duke of Cam bridge, the Duke Ferdinand, and Prince Augustus, and his Serene Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg and Count de Jarnac, attended by Colonel Wylde on horseback, went out to shoot this forenoon, and returned to the Castle before two o'clock, owing to the rainy state of the weather. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their accustomed airings this morning. Sir Henry Wheatley took his- departure from the Castle to-day. The very unfavourable state of the weather prevented the royal party from leaving the Castle this afternoon. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and the Baroness de Speth, will join the royal circle at dinner this evening. The band of the 2d regiment of Life Guards was in at tendance during dinner. Her Majesty's private band after wards attended in the Castle, Sir Robert Peel left his residence in Whitehall-gardex yesterday morning, for Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. The Right Hon. Sidney tierbert has left town for Wil shire. The Earl of Haddington has left town. Prince and Princess Nicholas Esterhazy and family have arrived at Thomas's Hotel, from Brighton, and in a few days repair to Middleton Park, the Earl of Jersey's seat, near Bice ter. USE OF ACORNS AS FOOD.—A correspondent says, " In the present anticipated dearth of food, I would suggest the use of acorns—a species of esculent much used in Spain and Italy. lam aware that in use in those countries is the sweet acorn; whether the bitter properties of our English acorn might not be extracted, and so rendered at once palat able, as it is certainly most nutritious, is a question I must leave to those better versed in chemistry than I am. This hint is thrown out in the hope it may prove useful." THREATS OF INCENDIARISM IN BERKSHIRE.—The spirit of incendiarism has, we are sorry to hear, manifested itself in a portion of Berkshire. Mr. W. Rixon, of the White Hart, Faringdon, wishing last week to thrash out a rick of barley, employed a machine for that purpose, and on the fol lowing morning he received by post a letter, threatening to burn his farming stock if he insisted on using the machine, stating if that was not used, more labour would be required. The handwriting was not bad, and the letter was stamped. THE JESUITS AT LUCERNE.--Intelligence from Lucz...rne announces that, on the report made to the Graud Council, the imprisonment of Dr. l'fyffer has been main tained. M. Balthasar, one of the members, had demanded that the docum, , nts relative to the prooceedings should be placed on the table, in order that it might be judged if the arrest was justified or not; but it was decided that this demand should not be complied with. Dr. Pfyffer himself applied in writ ing to the Grand Council to be set at liberty, but the appli cation was not opened until just as they were going to vote. In his letter, he requested to be allowed a candle by night, as lie was not accustomed to remain in bed for fourteen hours at a time ; he demanded also better treatment in ge neral. The Committee appointed to investigate the matter was composed almost exclusively of friends of the Jesuits. After Dr. Pfyffer had been thrown into prison, Captain Meyer, and the Registrar, Haber, examined his papers, and, after being so occupied for several hours, at last placed them under seal. BURGLARY IN THE ClTY.—Yesterday morning be tween one and six, a robbery was committed on the premises of Mr. Morgan, a licensed victualler, at the Three Cranes, Queen-street, Cheapside. The robbery was discovered by the barmaid, who, on entering the bar about six o'clock, per ceived the cash box broken open and various papers thrown about the floor, when she immediately aroused Mr. Morgan. On his arrival it was ascertained that 911. 10s. had been taken from the cash-box, and upon further search it was found that an additional 301. had been abstracted from a pri vate drawer, making a total loss of 1211. 10s. It is presumed that the thief must have secreted himself in the back part of the premises over night, and from thence obtained admission to the tap-room. FIRE AT A HAT WAREHOUSE. —Yesterday morn ing, about three o'clock, as some theatrical gentlemen were passing a hatter's shop at the corner of Tavistock-street, Covent -garden, they discovered an unusual light. A fire was raging very furiously, and they instantly sent the ne cessary information to the Chandos-street fire station. As sistance soon arrived, and the necessary precaution of keep ing c losed the shop door was adhered to ; b u t althou g h p lent y of water was procured, and notwithstanding every exertion on the part of the firemen, the stock in the shop was nearly consumed. Colonel Gore Langton, in consequence of the fa litre of the potato crop, has given directions to his steward to return the Is ho'.e cf the last year's rent to the holders of allotments on his property, 154 in number. —Bath Herald. We believe we may state, with certainty, that Sir Robert Peel has bestowed the deanery of Westminster upon Dr. Buekland, the well-known professor of geology, and at present a canon of Christ Church, Oxford. The canonry will, in consequence cf an arrangement under the Eccle siastical Commission, devolve upon the archdeacon of the diocese.—Herald. THE MILITIA.--Clerks of sub-divisions are now being called upon for the date of their appointment. This is supposed to be preparatory to a ballot fvr the militia. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Newmarket Houghton Meeting brought to a close the turf season of 1845, a season without a parallel for the number and quality of the races it furnished. The weather was like the sport, excellent, and so mild that the only Ches terfield to be seen on the course was the popular and kind hearted nobleman of that name, whose success always gives satisfaction to all classes of sportsmen. Like the famous fox-chase of Ballyporeen, the past meet ing, I imagine, •• Will ne'er be forgot By those who were there, or those who were not." In the first place,fifty races were run during its continuance, six of these were won by a head, one by a neck, six by half a length, and twenty-four by a length, There were also four dead heats, and two of them with three horses. In the second place, the weather induced many to imagine it was one of the July meetings they were attending, and when I saw the start for the Criterion I could not help thinking upon the contrast in the weather from when Cartoon won that race ; on which occasion the snow had so covered the ground that the course was obliged to be swept before the horses were allowed to start. In the third place, there was the row between the " gentlemen by birth" and the " gentlemen by courtesy," which ended, as might bo imagined, in the entire defeat of the latter. In the fourth place, it was the first meeting ever attended by his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, who bids fair to be a constant visitor. And in the fifth place, the settling was the worst ever known at Newmarket; scrip was offered in many instances instead of money, and such was the state of the market that it was gladly received. To comment upon all the races run during the meeting would take up more of your space than you can conveniently afford, I shall, there fore, merely devote a few lines to the principal events of the week. The attendance on the Heath on Monday was im mense, nearly every member of the sporting aristocracy being present, and the ring was crowded with the Manchester and Liverpool divisions. As each horse made his appearance, he was criticised most minutely, and the preliminary canters were watched with breathless silence. Intrepid looked well, went well, and found some friends, who for auld lang syne entrusted him with a fiver for luck. Ould Ireland, the favourite of the ring, and for whom I had so strong a pre dilection, looked as fat as a prize ox, went short, and gave me but slight hopes of seeing my predictions of his success verified. Alarm's form and action alarmed only those who were against him, and the confident manner of Nat assured many others, besides myself, that he was again going to ride the winner of the Cambridgeshire. The Baron's appearance was waited for with all the anxiety attending the debut of a new singer, or danseuse, at the opera. Directly he showed I mentally exclaimed sed quantum mutabus ab illo qui, at Doncaster, on the Curragh, and Newmarket , defeated all his antagonists in such gallant style. He looked as fine drawn almost as Coldrenick did for the Derby, and when I considered the hands he had got into, and the disadvantage he laboured under in being ridden by Bumby, the jockey who lost Alice Hawthorn the Doncaster Cup at the late meeting there, and who is, in fact, little better than a postboy, I was surprised at his maintaining the position in the market that he did. Had the course been longer, and the pace not so severe, I think we should have had a better account of him. Best-bower and Wolf-dog were in splendid condition, and their running was by no means discreditable to them. Yardley gained friends just before the start, and he ran a game horse. The race, like the Cesarewitch, was never in doubt, and won just as easily. The result clearly evinces how dangerous a customer the winner would have been, but for his accident, to Merry Monarch; and, consequently, that Nat's chance of riding a second time in succession the winner of the Derby, was an excellent one. Mr. Greville and Mr. Payne won a tolerable stake ; but the Napoleon of the turf, who is very much prejudiced against all Venison's stock, on account of their size (being so unlike his Bay Middleton), laid against him to the extent of 2,200/. A peat deal has been said and written about Mr. Greville's conduct, relative to his declaration about his horse, but as Mr. Greville is a gentleman who, for some years, has religiously acted up to the Duke of Newcastle's idea—viz., "of doing what he likes with his own," he is not likely, at the present time, to feel acutely remarks made by parties, who would very likely, if an opportunity served, treat him in the same way. And with regard to the opinions of the press, Mr. Greville having previously displayed how little he regards them, I think it would only be a waste of time and paper to discuss the matter further. Mr. Clarke's endeavour to play the part of Lord Lichfield and Lord George Bentinck, was as miserable a failure, and has been productive of as much laughter, as the piece called The Princess who was Changed into a Deer at Drury-lane. Had the horse not been started, I much question whether he would have'been of any use to him again; and, on . dit, he had a hint to that effect conveyed to him. It. is extraordinary the love of notoriety some people have, especially those to whena retirement Is most be coming. My selections, Ould Ireland and Best Bower, although not fortunate enough to get the honour of a place, ran respect ably,and rose from the timel wrote—theformer from 1-8 to 1 to 3 to 1, and the latter from 33 to 1 to 13 to 1; so that their hackers could not be hurt unless t h ey wilfully refused to hedge. Vol-au-vent, my favourite for the Great Ebor Han dicap, came with a rush at the last, and from her place in the race it is clear that had she been started at York she could not have been far off winning. From the reasons I have before stated, I incline the Cambridge Stakes for this year will not be forgotten for many a long day to come. The Match be tween the Heroine of Goodwood and Old Oakley was a splendid one, and delighted everybody. TUESDAY.—We had nine races this afternoon, two of which only call for any observation, viz., the Handicap Plate of 200 sovs., and the Criterion. The former brought out a field of fourteen, of which Boarding-school Miss was discovered to ; be the best, to the great delight of her backers, who were very fond. In the latter, which is the most trying race for two year-olds either at Newmarket or elsewhere, nine noblemen and gentlemen, being desirous of getting a taste of the Derby favourite with his penalty, sent their nominations to the post, and a taste of him they did get with a vengeance, for he beat them all in a canter with the most perfect ease. This was his last appearance previous to the Derby for 1846, in which he will no doubt cut a conspicuous figure. TRURSDAY.—The race which caused the most interest and the heaviest betting to-day was the match between Ould Ireland and Idas, -which was won by the latter by three parts of a length, with 5 to 2 and Nat on him. FRIDAY.—The sport we had to-day, I venture to say, was never equalled on any race-course in the world in one day, and was worth travelling from John o' Groat's to the Land's- end to witness. Prince George of Cambridge, who was only entered to it (as Nimrod would have said) on Monday, looked as happy as the man who had drawn a thirty thousand pound prize in the lottery. Would that he could induce his royal relative, the Prince Consort, to extend more patronag e to the Turf than ' he does at present. It is somewhat singular that racing in England is more encouraged almost by the Royal Family of Russia than by that of its own. From the manner in which Dexterous, a half-bred two-year-old, beat Chandelier and a small field, she was objected to by Mr. Shelley, but that gentleman took nothing by his motion. I know nothing of Mr. Godwin ; but I should imagine him to be a very yoodnatured man. There were times when, if such a line of conduct was pursued by one gentle man towards another, a horsewhip or a pistol would certainly have been put in requisition. On the match be tween Wolfdog and Oakley the Irish division succeeded in getting back a large portion of the money they dropped on their favourite in the Cambridgeshire. The Glasgow Stakes produced a dead heat between three (the first which has occurred since 1836), and it was entirely owing to the fine riding of Nat, who, upon Arkwright's being drawn, was placed upon Binnacle, that he secured this splendid stakes by a head. We had hardly recovered from the effects of this magnificent finish, when we were treated, with another of exactly a similar character for the 501. plate. Had not Bumby been on Alice, I think she would have won this race, bad as her running has been this season. Yet the manner in which she disposed of Naworth at Chester makes me be lieve she could have beaten him here. The second heat, like that for the Glasgow Stakes, was only won by a head by Little Hampton, who, in my opinion, should have taken pre cedence of Naworth in the betting, judging from his former doings. Friday's races were chiefly small sweepstakes, interesting only to the owners of the animals engaged in them ; and I shall only touch upon the Nursery Stakes, the only two-years old handicap in existence. For this the almost Derby field of eighteen started, and the objectionable Cocktail, after a dead heat, with the winner of the Rutland, beat him cleverly by half a length. In the Audley End Stakes, Wolfdog again behaved well, and did not deceive his backers. On Saturday this unequalled meeting was brought to a close by eleven races, all well contested, but as the results are not likely to bear upon future races, I refrain from com menting upon them. In my next I shall take a cursory review of the past season. TELEGRAPH. London, Nov. 12, 1845. IMPORTATION OF CORN AND CATTLE.

THE DOWAGER MARCHIONE SS OF B READALBANE. —By the will of this distinguished lady, her son, the present Marquis of Breadalbane, has acquired a large addition to his fortune. Her Ladyship's will was recorded in Scotland on the 6th ult., and has just been proved in England by his Lord ship, the sole executor; the p ersonal estate in England is sworn under 120,0001. Her Ladyship has bequeathed a legacy of 10,0001. to the Earl of Lauderdale, in testimony of her sense of the valuable services which his Lordship had ren dered to the Breadalbane family. With the exception of such legacy, her Ladyship has left the whole of her estate to her son, the present Marquis, absolutely. The will was made in Scotland, in the year 1843.—Scotch paper. GLASGOW COLLEGE A RAILWAY TERMINI3S.— Though some doubts were at first entertained regarding Glasgow College becoming a railway terminus, at least with the consent of the Principal, Professors, &c., we now learn that all speculation on the subject is at an end, and that the heads of the college are themselves to apply for an Act for this purpose. This resolution was, we believe, coma to last week,—Glasgowrot. ---- - TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE ST. JAMES'S PALACE, OCT. :30, 1845.

(From the London New Price Cu? rent of Nov. 11.) SuaAn.—To-day there was a fair business transacted in British Plantation . Sugar for grocery and refining purposes, and the rates paid generally exhibit an advance on those of Friday of 6d per cwt. The operations would have been to a much larger extent had it not been for the small and indif • ferent show, together with the stiffness of the merchants.. There are many town and country orders unexecuted for all qualities. • - REFINEP.-.-TO day Refined goods were in excellent request' by theiime'trade, and the market has a very firm appear % ance, brown grocery lumps were sold at 65s Gd to 665, and standard lumps 675. Bonded Crushed Sugar was purchased with caution, and 34s 6d to 35s per cwt taken for the best. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with eager purchasers, and 4,806 bags 39 casks at auction went at au advance on former rates of 6d to Is for yellow, and Is to 2s per cwt for brown and grey. Syrupy 45s to s 6d, and Sugar drainage damaged 49s Gd per cwt. LAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excel lent request, and 2,880 bags at auction were all sold at full rates for white, whilst yellow brought 6d per cwt advance. Benares fine white fetched 59s to 60s, good 58s to 58s 6d, damp and washed 57s to 59.-, Gd, good strollg grainy yellow Dobah kind 55s to 55s 6d. middling 53s Gd to 54s 6d, low 50s Gd to 51s Gd, damp 51s to 54s 6d, washed 51s Gd to 54: Gd, middling strong grey grainy 52s to 535; damp 525, washed 51s 6d, middling yellow Benares sound not grainy 53s per cwt. FonEIGN----Althongli the stock of Foreign _Sugar has been further increased, stilt holders .have re.franied from offering any at auction since this day week, but there are few ship ping orders, and our refiners working under bond are gene. rally supplied for the present The rates taken for all kinds of Brazil hay . e been rather under those previously quoted, still only 150 chests Bahia have been sold, white at 275, brown 225. Yellow Havannah has been purchased with caution, and holders are more inclined to sell. The business transacted in all other kinds of Foreign has been to a small extent. Hors.—There has been only a limited busiyess done, but full rates are insi,ted upon. The duty for the Kingdom is es timated at 155,000/. to 160,0001. COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was much better sup plied with Ceylon Coffee, and six parcels, amounting to 4,741 bags and 5 casks, were submitted to public competi tion ; the trade were less inclined to operate, and a small proportion only was actually sold. Plantation sustained the former value, whilst Native went 6d per cwt cheaper. Of Mocha there was a larger quantity offered at public sale. Of Madras two cases sold at 53s for good ordinary green ; 28 bags of sea damaged ditto 50s, and inferior 33s to 35s : 50 barrels and 15 bags of Rio taken in at 57s for middling colory TEA. —There has been a falling off in the demand for all descriptions since this day week, occasioned by the large public sales declared for to-morrow; the quantity offered will amount to 20,000 pkgs. Congou has been purchased with caution, and in some cases rather lower rates have been taken. Poucliong is held for 5d to 10d for low to good quality, but there has been little business doing. Twankay is not cheaper, but the trade operate with caution. Although Imperial and Gunpowder are offered at low rates, still few buyers are to be met with. _ _ . MOLASSES.—There has been much inquiry after West India, but purchases of moment have been prevented pri vately, by the advanced rates insisted upon by holders. That a considerable increase will shortly take place in the demand for Molasses there can be no doubt, especially if they are allowed to be used in the distilleries. Honey has been sold to a large extent, and at advanced rates. This afternoon at public sale 99 hhds of Bengal Treacle sold at l9s 6d per cwt. for dark thin. SPICES—This afternoon Pimento met with less attention, and 362 bags at auction were only partly sold 3%d for good middling, being barely the former value. Black Pepper was purchased with caution privately. Barbadoes Ginger 42s per cwt for middling quality, being above ats value. The market was much better supplied with nutmegs. Of Mace the large quantity of 54 chests was offered at public sale, but a few only sold at a reduction in prices of Is to is 3d. Singapore good quality went at 3s 9d, good middling 3s 5d to 3s 6d, middling 3s to 3s 4d, and mouldy 2s 4d to 3s 4d. The reeftainder has' been taken in at 4s to 4s 6d for Penang of sound quality. SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island Rum has been much in request, and prices continue on the advance: large parcels out of first and second hands have been at 2s 2d to 2s 3d per gallon proof strength. Calcutta has been much sought after, and further advanced rates are offered, but business is still prevented by the unwillingness of merchants to sell. The business transacted in Demerara has been at stiff rates. Jamaica has fully sustained the former value. Brandy has met with little attention, and there are sellers on lower terms. Geneva is held with firmness, and is wanted for ex portation at 2s 2d to 2s 4d ; fine for home consumption is fetching 2s 7d to 2s lOd. SALTPETRE.—To• day 738 bags were submitted to public competition, and sold at a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt, 8 per cent refraction ; good middling yellowish fair chrystal went at 25s 6d to 26e; 5i per cent, good grey fair chrystal, but inferior colour, 26s to 26s 6d; 411 per cent, good dull dingy grey, 265; unrefracted 25s to 25s 6d, low 235, and sea damaged 22s to 23s per cwt. RICE. —Bengal has been purchased freely—the rates paid are fully equal to those previously quoted and the supply is still insufficient for the demand. Madras has been in much better demand, and prices are still on the ascendancy. Java is much wanted, but there is scarcely any to be had, and stiff rates would be given. Patna has been in excellent request at 23s to 28s. Caroline is fetching 36s to 40s, and is wanted. Sago has - been much sought after, but business has been checked by the high prices insisted upon. TALLOW.—There has'been a large business transacted in Russian on the spot, and an advance of 3d to 6d per cwt has taken place since Tuesday last. For delivery a good deal has been doing at improved rates. Home trade Tallow has been in excellent request, and fetched 42s net cash. For all other descriptions a good demand has been experienced, and in some cases the rates obtained have been rather above those previously quoted. Oius.—Further reduced rates have been submitted to for Linseed Oil. Rape Oil is still wanted and prices rule firm. Cocoa Nut has been in excellent demand, and the rates paid are rather above those of this day week. Palm is rather cheaper ; the demand, however, has been good. Olive has met with little attention, and holders are inclined to sell. Gallipoli at 40/, Spanish at 30/. For Cod Oil further reduced rates having been taken, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and at 281 5s to 281 lOs per tun a fair business has been done. Seal, however, has been purchased with caution, although there are sellers at the moderate rates of 301 for pale, 281 to 291 for straw, 26/ to 271 for yellow, and 251 to 25/ lOs per tun for. brown. The business transacted in Southern has been to a small extent, notwithstanding the low prices at which there are sellers. Holders of Sperm are not inclined further to reduce their prices, but .the amount of business transacted privately has been to a small extent.

We regret to learn that a section of the Free Church party in this city have determined to oppose the re-election of Mr. Rutherford as Lord Rector of the University for the en suing year. Mr. Rutherford was, at the last election, the Free Church candidate; and it was by the union of Free Churchmen with the Liberal party . generally that he was elected by so triumphant a majority over the Earl of Eglinton, a man of moderate Conservative politics, and personally more popular than any nobleman in Scotland. Remembering these things, we have been led to inquire What cause of offence Mr. Rutherford has given, that any party in the University should wish to depart from the customary routine of re- election, and cast a stigma on the public character of the man of their own choice. We have learned with surprise that his vote on the Maynooth question has been the sole reason, and that to make their own bigotry more apparent and shameful, this party, Liberals as they pretend to be, have resolved to propose a high Tory for the office, viz., Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, simply because he is opposed to the Maynooth grant. We have been told that it is only a small and uninfluential section of the sup porters of Mr. Rutherfurd at the last election who have adopted this course, and we would fain believe, for the honour of our. ancient University, that in this respect our information is well founded. The ungraciousness of such an act towards a man who has borne his honours so meekly, and performed his duties so satisfactorily als Mr. Rutherford, is apparent enough to everybody—even to those few who may have re solved to oppose him • but its injustice and impolicy are even more striking. Surely we have had enough, and more than enough, of Maynooth. Surely we have sufficiently insulted the conscientious belief of millions f our fellow-subjects, during the recent discussions in Parliament, without bring ing forward the question on every public occasion. Were the question not settled, never more to be unsettled, except by the establishment of pure Voluntaryism—the object of such a proceeding would be real and comprehensible. But to punish Mr. Rutherford now for his vote would be a manifestation of sheer spite, which would do infinite dis credit to the party that indulged it. We trust that all the true friends of the Free Church—all the more sensible, liberal, and tolerant members of that great, aud, in many respects, admirable body, will prevent the scandal !that these ultra bigots would draw down upon them, by uniting cordially in support of the man, whom last year they delighted to honour; and who has done nothing in the interval that can justify to the mind of any person of sense and right feeling, the with drawal of their confidence. If justice does not counsel this course of proceeding, policy will afford them an argument. Let them remember that, even should the whole Free Church party unite, they could not carry the election of Mr. Camp bell of Monzie. If a contest between him and Mr. Ruther ford were unfortunately to arise, Lord Eglinton would be brought forward, and carried triumphantly—not because be is more popular in the University than he was last year—but because of the unwise dissensions of those who ought to have remained united. We do, therefore, trust that the small sec tion we have alluded to will take warning in time. If they will rake up the unhappy question of Maynooth, let them wait till next year, when Mr. Rutherfurd's term of office will expire ; and they can then do so upon a vantage ground, which they have not now, and without incurring the odium of so much uncharitableness as will cling to them, if they persist in their present intention.— Glasgow Argus. SUICIDE BY Paussic AClD.—Last evening Mr. Bedford concluded an inquest upon the body of Mr. William Smith, newsvender, late of Little Marlborough-street, aged 34. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been rather low• spirited and dejected. Last Wednesday, after having had a friend to dine with him, and with whom he parted in apparent health and spirits, his wife had to go out for some coals, and upon her return he, in the kindest manner, desired her to come and sit upon his knee. She did so, when she instantly perceived that he was very faint, and attempted to arouse him, but in vain, as he was perfectly in sensible. Dr. Johnson was instantly sent for, and, upon his arrival, found him dead. About a month before, deceased purchased a drachm of essential oil of almonds at Mr. Rae's, Wardour- street, alleging that he required it for pastry. After his death the bottle was found emptied of its contents upon a shelf in the room. Dr. Johnson, assisted by Dr . Ryan, of the Polytechnic, made a post mortem examinatiot, and detected in the stomach a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to destroy life. The jury returned a verdict of " Tem porary insanity." THE ASSAM COMPANY. Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors of this Corporation, established to promote the cultivation of the tea plant in Upper Assam, was held fo: the purpose of de claring a dividend, for the receipt of a report from the Court of Directors, and upon other affairs. The chair was taken at one o'clock by Sir G. de H. Larpent, Bart. The minutes of the last Court having been read, The CitammAN read the following report, after remark ing that the. present meeting was specially convened, ac cording to the understanding come to at the last Court, and that he. was happy to state that the Directors had a report to submit which they trusted would meet with the approba tion of the proprietors. Since the report had been drawn up there had been more satisfactory accounts received. The following are the material points in the report of the di rectors : " In the first place, they have to congratulate you on the attainment of an object which from the commencement they have always deemed of paramount importance, viz., the in corporation c f the Company. The last advises received from Calcutta have brought us the gratifying intelligence that the Act incorporating the Assam Company had just been passed by the Governor-General in Council, and we have the plea sure to inform you that the Act itself is perfectly satisfactory, By this measure the Assam Company has become a corpora tion, your liability as shareholders has been limited, and the business of the Company will henceforth be carried on with all the facilities which the corporate character affords. " Your Directors have not received an account of the pro duce of the current year, and are unable to inform you of its probable amount. But in consequence of an unusual and extraordinary drought in the province, during the months in which the first pickings are gathered, which re tarded the vegetation of the plants, they have reason to believe that the produce fall somewhat short of their expectations, but to what extent they have no means of knowing. The only accounts of the manufacture that have been received are up to the 30th June, including four months out of the eight of the tea-making season, to which period about 100,0001bs. of tea had been made. Great attention is now being bestowed in India on the classifying, sorting, and packing of our teas, and your Directors hope that an im provement in these important details will give the produce of the current year a higher character and greater value in our market. The greater part of the produce of 1844 has now been received, and a sale took place on the sth instant. Your Directors believe that the concern is now being worked to profit, although to what extent they will probably not have the means of ascertaining with accuracy until they have seen that the expenditure continues to be kept down to the present amount. They consider, however, that by making a dividend of 10s. a share out of the profits of the Company, they will be on the side of safety, and will have ample funds remaining in their hands to carry on the con cern for the ensuing year. Accordingly they have declared a dividend of 10s. a share to be payable to the shareholders who shall staid" registered in the Company's books on the Ist January next." Sir G. DE H. LARPENT said, that the Act of incorpora tion had, as passed in India, received the approval of the legal advisers of the Company. There would, after paying the amount of the dividend, and after providing for the expense of the crop of 1846, including home charges, re main a considerable balance. The Directors had enforced the necessity of strict economy in Assam, as that was the best policy in all establishments, especially in the infat cy of such a one as this. It was not contemplated that the , whole expenses in Assam would exceed 1,0001. a month. The attention of the Court had been directed with earnest ness to the improvement of the quality of the teas. The prices realised at the last public sales of Assam teas were as follow :—For 221 chests from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per lb, for 31 chests 3s. per lb., for 306 chests Is. 6d. to 25., for 356 chests ls. 3d. to ls. 6d. per lb., and for the lower breaks reduced rates. The Assam Company's teas were now taken by the trade currently throughout the country.—(Hear, hear.) -Mr. TITE considered the report to be most satisfactory. The produce of last year was 186,6441b5. It was expected that the crop of this year would be much more considerable, but the drought that had - prevailed, would, as he understood, prevent the yield coming much above that of last year. Was that the case? _ The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative ; but the re turns of this year's crop only embraced the pickings of a few months. In reply to some remarks respecting the dismissal of Mr. Bruce, the secretary, Mr. PRIDEAUX remarked that that gentleman had been engaged at the outset of the concern for ten years. The Directors bad not been satisfied with his administration, and had compromised his claim for one year's salary, or 1,2501. It was incidentally remarked, that the charter of the Assam Company in India was for nine years only, but that there was no doubt of its renewal, as no other company had a standing there but the Assam Company. After the adoption of the report, and a vote of thanks to the Directors, the proceedings terminated. MILITARY AFFRAY AT WINDSOR. WEIDSOI2, TUESDAY.—This morning an investigation took place at the Town-hall, before a full bench of magistrates, re specting the alleged assault of the 2d Life Guards on the in habitants of Windsor on Saturday evening last. The magistrates present were Thomas Adams, Esq., Mayor ; Robert Blunt, Esq. ; William Legh, Esq. ; Thomas Clarke, Esq. ; Robert Tebbatt, Esq. ; John Clode, Esq. ; and John Bannister, Esq. The hall was crowded by the principal inhabitants of the town. The first witness examined was James Dobson, sergeant of the police, who stated that he was on duty on Saturday night, between seven and eight o'clock. Saw some of the townspeople coming up Pea.scod-street, carrying a man on their back ; the mob was increasing. Mr. Lovegrove, of High-street, said something to the mob when opposite his house. Townshend, the man who was carried, got down, and immediately one of Mr. Lovegrove's windows was broken. The mob stood hooting for some time, and then carrying the man went down Thame- street. When they came to the Red Lion, three Life Guardsmen were standing at the door. The greater part of the mob stopped, and shouted " Walter for ever I" and some of them jostled against the soldiers. No assault was committed, and I urged the townspeople to go on and not interfere with the soldiers. A young man, named Flowers, came out of Sharratt's with Mr. Walter's flags, and a young man, named Wellman, was by the side of him. The mob followed them up the street, and they all turned back. Finding the mob getting noisy, when opposite Agar's, I strove to take the flags away from Flowers, but I fancied I was unable to do so. I left the sol diers at the Red Lion. I followed the mob up the street, and a great portion of them went with the flags into the Black Horse, Park-street. After they bad been there about ten minutes, two of the Life Guards came out, followed by Towns hend and three others. I went across with the inspector, and desired that the flags should not be brought out again, other wise we should take them into custody. Several of the mob then dispersed, and we went up into the town. As we got opposite Mr. Holderness's, the surgeon, some one said, "Cut away, police, two soldiers are murdering the civilians." On reaching the market-place, we saw several making for Castle hill. " Net them near Adams's corner, and Gibbons said, " Come on, I think the soldiers have killed Townshend." Dis covered Townshend near Thumwood's office, lying in the road. Got him on the pavement, and took him away on a stretcher. There was a mob of civilians round him. Saw no soldiers. Townsend appeared to be bleeding from his neck and shoulder. Shortly afterwards saw Mr. Blunt, a magistrate, requesting four or five soldiers to retire, which they did immediately and went towards their barracks. Shortly afterwards about a dozen more soldiers came up, and they also went down Peascod-street, in their way home. They had scarcely turned the corner of the street, when the mob began hissing and hallooing after them. The soldiers returned and began swearing. The people ran in all direc tions, and so did the soldiers, and so did . I. They ran round and through the market-house, near which a woman was screaming, " They have killed my son." I there found George Hill lying on his back. Told the mother not to make such a row. Placed Hill at Mr. Foster's (the chemist), door, and went after the soldiers, and saw, among others, Large and Flowers abusing and exciting the soldiers, who were about eight or ten in number. Mr. Blunt, the magistrate, came up, and the soldiers went quietly away. I and another policeman endeavoured to prevent the civilians from following the soldiers, but the mob overpowered us, and followed the soldiers down the street. There was one soldier, a farrier, they called Harry, rather tipsy, who would return to the market-house, and eight or ten of his comrades came back with him, but they made no disturbance, and afterwards went quietly away. The police afterwards formed themselves across the street, and prevented , the mob following the sol diers. Several passed through us to go to the barracks, the mob hissing them very much, and we had great difficulty in keeping the mob back. About ten the miltary had all re turned to the barracks, and the mob dispersed. Several of the soldiers had sticks—some were walking-sticks. Several of the civilians bad also sticks. I took a brick-bat from a civilian named Hughes, and others had stones. William Gibbons, another policeman, saw a snob of about two hundred opposite Darling, the grocer's house, in Peascod street, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening; there were no military present. Followed them into Thames street, where they met four or five Life Guardsmen, and commenced hissing them. Begged them not to interfere with the soldiers. On returning to the High-street, saw the Guards driving the people out of the market-house. There were about twenty or thirty soldiers knocking the people about with sticks. By direction of a magistrate, went to the Horse Barracks for a picquet, but the corporal on guard would not send one without a written order from the Mayor. When I returned, saw a large mob trying to force themselves down Peascod-street. No military were there. Saw Towns bend with a stick, flourishing as lie was riding on a man's shoulders. Laid hold of him, and endeavoured to persuade him to leave, but he wrenched himself from my grasp. This was the roan who had his face blackened. It was not five minutes after he got away that I saw him carried away on a stretcher. A man named Collier carried Townshend on his back, and a person, named Large cai ried Plumridge. Charles Clarke, sergeant of police—Saw the soldiers going home, when one of them complained of being much hurt in the head, and asked his companions if they were going off after being served in that way? They all immediately re turned, and rau towords the market-house. Saw Hill and Large knocked down. Saw a number of drunken men halloo ing and yelling after the military when they were going quietly down the street. William Benham, another policeman, spoke as to the row, and saw a soldier knock a man down whom they had mis taken for Angelo, the fighter. His comrade said he should not have done so, as the man was innocent. Mr. John Clode, wine merchant, stated that he saw near the market-house the soldiers pursuing the mob, who were flying in all directions. 'Phis was about nine o'clock. Saw a soldier strike a man, who after reeling a little , fell down. After he was down the soldier struck him several times with his fist and a stick, and then kicked him in the side or sto mach. Another person afterwards came up and struck the man. The soldiers afterwards rushed across the market place, and struck right and left. Saw them strike a woman and a boy. There were a great many women in the crowd, some crying out, " Walter for ever." About a quarter to eleven, saw soldiers pas s by my house at Augnsta-place, on their way to the barra cks, in twenties and thirties, most of them in a tipsy state. When I first saw the crowd they were waving one of Walter's flag, and cheering at the houses of those they consi dered favourable to him, and hi ss i ng a t those they considered unfavourable. William John Astle—Saw the soldiers knock down men, women, and children indiscrimately, some with their regi mental canes, and others with thick sticks. Robert Weyman swore that he was struck by the soldiers because he wore Walter's colours—that he also saw five or six soldiers go into Mr. Adams's shop and purchase brooms, that they cut the birch off and left it in the shop, and came out with the handles, and layed them about on the people right and left; that they knocked down one poor man and his wife and child, about three months old. Mr. Adams and the whole of his shopmen were afterwards sworn, and all distinctly stated that they had no brooms in the shop, neither had any person come into the shop on the day in question to purchase any. Major Williams, who was present to watch the proceed ings, stated that at five minutes past ten o'clock on the even witht ini o n f g on e questi o n,man were p w o h r t o e d l e o t f o t h h i e m s t o o l d b i e e r s in, -'• - The inquiry was adjourned to Thursday next.he exception barracks. In. Dispatches from the Governor of Jamaica, and also from the Governors of the other West India cvloniet, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office., THE LATE ELOPEMENT. The fact of the marriage of the Lady Adela Villiers with Captain C. P. Ibbetson, at Gretna Hall, on Thursday last, was announced in the Morning Post of Monday. Our detailed notice of the fugitive pair broke off with their arrival at the York station of the North Midland, Railway. We now append such other interesting facts in connexion with "the affair" as have since reached us. After breakfasting in the refreshment room at York, where the elegant appearance and manner of Lady Adela was par ticularly remarked by several persons present, the lovers again took their places in the mail train. Throughout the run from York to Newcastle the parties do not appear to have been observed, but traces of them weie discovered on the line to Carlisle, which led the pursuers to Gretna• green. The fugitives reached Carlisle shortly after one o'clock on Thursday, having thus run a distance of upwards of four hundred miles between that hour and six o'clock on the pre vious evening. Here they entered the Gallant Captain's car riage, and post-horses having been furnished by that inde fatigable aider and abettor of the god Hymen, in the palmy days of Gretna—the good host of the "Bush"—in a very few moments, the party dashed through the fine old city en route for " the birder." The post-boys on the road between Carlisle and Gretna were considered the Lest in the kingdom in the days when posting formed the almost exclusive means of locomotion. ProbaUly their superiority may have arisen from the inkling all must have had of the importance of their trust in many cases. Be this as it may, the race of "Carlisle boys" is not yet extinct, and by dint of whip and spur, the expectant pair of whom we treat alighted at the "Gretna Hall" Tavern before half-past two o'clock on Thursday afternoon. To unlearned " Southrons" it may be interesting to know that "mine host of the Hall" unites the somewhat irrecon cileable characters of Boniface and priest in his own person. At the moment of the arrival of the fugitives he was pre siding at a dinner, the guests at which consisted chiefly of a staff of engineers, who are just now pursuing their avocation in this hitherto peaceful neighbourhood. A very short inter val occurred, howeVer, before a person entered the room, who delivered what appeared to the guests to be a sort of myste rious message to the chairman, but which in reality was sim ply a summons to attend " a lady and gentleman who had just arrived from London, 'and were waiting his presence in the saloon' up stairs." With a promptitude which sayi much for the business habits of mine host, he immediately vacated his post at the head of the table, and forth With pr_- ceeded to grant the desired interview. The first introduction over, the Gallant Captain, in the presence of his fair companion, inquired of the worthy host whether it was true that he himself " performed the cere mony of marriage when requested so to do ?" Mine host replied with great alacrity that he had done se for some years past, and should continue to act in a similar capacity unless prevented by Lord Brougham, who, he be lieved, had attempted some interference with his prerogative last year. Boniface, requesting permission to retire for a few moments, speedily returned attired in full canonicals. The first procedure was to obtain the names of both parties, with a proper description of their respective resi dences. Here for an instant a difficulty was apprehended. Lady Adele confessed that at the moment she could only re collect three of her Christian names, though she believed she had more. Our host soon calmed her Ladyship's misgivings, by declaring that all the names were not necessary, in stancing a case where the same omission had been declared valid—that of the Prince de Capua, who, possessing a string of something like sixteen names, when asked to state them at Gretna, could only recollect about one half the number. ' The names obtained, next came the question of witnesses. . . It was highly desirable that no party in the house should be requested to attest the marriage, who might by possibility have a knowledge of the principal actors. This was im- pressed upon mine host, who promptly remarked that the Carlisle postilions generally considered it their privilege to act as witnesses on similar occasions, adding, that if the Gallant Captain had no objection, one of them would be a perfectly competent witness, while his own " better might be the second. • The proposition was at once entertained, and the parties alluded to were summoned to attend. The clerical character was now altogether assumed by mine host, and the ceremony commenced by a declaration on the part of both her Ladyship and the Gallant Offi cer , to the effect that they were single persons, and that they had come to "Gretna freely and willingly, of their own ac cord, and without force. • The priest (for the time being) addressing the Gallant Officer, next said, " Will you take this woman to be your lawful wife?" The Gallant Officer, without waiting to hear the remainder of the sentence, cheerfully replied, "I will." The officiating officer continued—" To live after God's or dinance, in the holy state of matrimony. Will you love her and comfort her, and cherish her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, remain faithful unto her so longras ye both shall live?" _ The Gallant Captain again plighted his troth to her Lady. ship with great apparent sincerity. Similar questions were then addressed to Lady Adele, who duly responded, maintaining her self-possession throughout in the most remarkable manner, and notwithstanding the excessive fatigue she had undergone, appearing in high spirits. The Gallant Captain next took the left band of his fair companian, and having placed the ring thereon, mine host joined their hands together, and declared the parties man and wife in the following terms :—" Forasmuch as this man and this woman have consented together before God sind this people to be man and wife, by receiving this ring,' hereby declare them to be such in the presence of God and these witnesses." = - The marriage was then recorded in the usual manner upon a printed form prepared for the purpose. As a good deal of curiosity may be supposed to prevail on the subject at this moment, we append a copy of the document, together with the signatures, exactly as they appear in the original : 77: " Kingdom of Scotland, " County of Dumfries, " Parish of Gretna. " These are to certify to all to whom these presents may come, that Charles Parke Ibbetson, of the parish of St. Pancras, London, in the county of Middlesex, and Adele Corisanda Villiers, of the parish . of St. George, London. in the county of Middlesex, being now here present, and having declared themselves single persons, were this day married, after the manner of the laws of the Church of England, and agreeably to the laws of Scotland. -" As witness our hands at Gretna Hall,' this sixth day of November,lB4s..- " C. P. IBBETSON. "ADELA VILLIERS." • J. LINTON." JANE LINTON. (ROBERT COPLEY." The signatures were not particularised by anything re markable. That of the Captain was written in a fine, bold hand, while Lady Adela's might have been written with a " crowquill small and new," were one to judge from its deli cacy and finish. " Solemnised by ". Witnesses The ceremony concluded, the newly-wedded pair sto!es a few moments to refresh themselves, preparatory to proceeding further northward. The afternoon was now waning fast, and Gretna having served its turn, the fugitives were naturally anxious to leave the " Hall " some distance behind them. At four o'clock, the best horses the stable afforded were put to the carriage, and the Captain having, with a bounteous hand, satisfied all, claims upon his purse, handed his youth ful bride to her seat, and springing into the carriage him self, the happy pair drove off together in the direction of Edinburgh. Despite the inconvenience of amateur postboys, sad not very first-rate cattle, the party reached Langholm, a distance of sixteen miles, and the first stage upon the old road to EdinbUrgh, before six o'clock. Relays of horses were hers provided at the Crown Inn, and our travellers again pro ceeded onwards, arriving about eight o'clock at Moss Paul, a lone hostelrie, the property of the Duke of Buccleuch, situates about midway between Gretna and Hawick. At this place they rested for the night, intending to pro ceed early the next morning on their way to Edinburgh.— Post. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SHELL PRACTICE ON BOARD THE SCOURGE STEAM-SLOOP, AT PORTSMOUTH. The Scourge steam-sloop, of 1,124 tons burthen, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning, under the direc tion of Captain Chads, of the Excellent, gunnery ship, having with him several officers of that ship. Captain Stevens, of the Royal Marine Artillery, and a gang of seamen, gunners, and marine artillerymen, likewise from the Excellent. The (by was unpropitious; a constant mizzling rain, with thick weather, prevailed, which almost made it dangerous to fire; but Captain Chads having taken up a position to the east ward of the Wight, fired the shells in the direction of the shores off Hayling island, in which no vessel or boat could be moving, . . . The result of the practice has been most satisfactory, and we should say, very conclusive in establishing the capability of steamers to carry mortars without detriment to the ves sels, or the machinery of the engines. Thirteen 13-inch shells were fired with the following charges of powder : Two with a charge of five pounds of powder, two of seven pounds, two of ten pounds, one of fifteen, and six of a charge of twenty pounds of powder. The shells were not filled with powder, but with sand equal to the weight of the powder of loaded shells. The mortar stands above the weather deck, abaft the mainmast, and it was expected that the explosion would have the effect of submerging her abaft, but the discharge was scarcely felt, and the shock sustained by the vessel was trifling. Eleven shells were tired right aft, and the two last were Sred directly abeam. Those last discharged affected the vessel most, but even these caused comparatively slight shocks. The engineers in the engine room scarcely felt it, and not the smallest derangement took place, although the Scourge, during the last six discharges of the twenty pounds of powder charge, was under full steam.
