It is also understood that the Marquis of Lans downe will resign his seat in the Cabinet, and retire into pri vate life. It is not, however, yet decided whether Lord Granville will be the successor of the Noble Marquis in the office which the latter tills, or whether there may not be other changes in the situations of several of the Ministers, consequent on Lord Lansdowne's retirement.—Advertiser.

A CRIMINAL CASE IN TEXAS.—At a late trial, somewhere in Texas, the defendant, who was not familiar with the multitude of words which the law employs to make a very trifling charge, after listening a while to the reading of the indictment, jumped up and said, " Them 'ore all?ga timp kW ; sul that 'WI 41.114 M 449yq ;.' _ i LONDON, WEDNESDAY MAGAZINES, &c7:(CONTINUED.) FRASER. The title of the last paper in Fraser is alone suffi cient to attract to it the attention of every reader, " Henry, Lord Brougham, his Career and . Character," and seldom has any paper appeared in any magazine more worthy of attentive study. The writer has completely isolated himself from contemporary pre judices and passions, and has detected and exposed contemporary misrepresentations ; he will Nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice;" and the consequence is, that he has given us the most just appreciation of the greatest intellectual giant of the present age, and posterity will no doubt confirm his judgment. Of the charge of insincerity, so recklessly brought against him, the writer well observes, " that is a matter between Lord Brougham and his former allies : one thing is quite clear, that he has always been true to the public." The following passage is admirable : "As for Lord Brougham's eccentricity,' to the vulgar eye it stands confessed, a fact. In the vulgar acceptation of the word, Lord Brougham is daringly ec centric. In free countries, it is not permitted to men to differ from their neighbours, except in very slight and imperceptible shades. Custom out-tyrannizes absolutism. In France or in Germany, one may do as one likes, be cause society is ground down by a ruthless despotism; but in England, do as you like, if you dare: Lord Brougham, it seems, chooses to do as he likes. After a long day of arduous labour, he prefers a walk to a ride; and if his blood wants circulating, he walks fast; when he speaks, ho speaks aloud, having been used so to do, as a matter of business, all his life ; if his hands be cold, he puts them in his pockets; though fashions change for the benefit of tailors, Lord Brougham sticks (as many a north countryman has done before him) to the check or the plaid; not being particular about hats, ho does not wear his stuck horizontally on the top of his head, like an inverted chimney-pot, but lets it go aslant on the back, a practice less painful to the forehead; being natu rally of an ardent and excitable temperament, he uses mueh gesticulation in talking—about as much as a Frenchman would require in order to tell you it is a fine day; in short, Lord Brougham commits divers offences against the leaden sovereignty of custom, all which are peculiarly shocking in a Peer. Being, too, naturally of an affable and sociable disposition, ho fraternizes quickly with those for whom he takes a liking, and spouts out his thoughts and feelings, instead of filtering them, as your grave ones do. He is in the world and of the world; a fast friend; the gayest and wittiest of compa nions; the most enjoying and the most enjoyable; a pa triarch in experience and sagacity, but a schoolboy in freshness of feeling. He is a man; not an ennobled ab straction. Ho is odd, unique, bizarre—anything but ec centric; for there is not a man among us who has his aplomb, or whose moral and mental centre of gravity more firmly pivot the violent oscillations and gyrations of his ' passionate' energy. " If the superabundance of this energy makes him seem to overdo things, we should remember that the tread or the gripe of the giant, however gently meant, comes hard and heavy on us ordinary men. With all his oddities, or his reckless disregard of conventional prescribed laws, his self-possession never quits him for an instant. Go to him when you will, or on what you will, he is ever ready, clear-headed, toned and polished to razor pitch. Next to the Duke of Wellington, he is the public arbitrator most often consulted on matters coming within the range of his specialities. In private life he is respected and beloved by all to whom he discloses his true nature. Look at his past career, and you have the materials for a dozen ordinary reputations: look at his present position, and you are the more struck with the tremendous energy and perseverance with which he has righted himself in the public mind, after having been subjected to a persecution and prostration utterly without parallel among civilians since the downfall of Bolingbroke." We hope this admirable article will be republished in a separate and cheap form; it should be universally circulated. 'We are rejoiced to find Fraser coming forward as the champion of toleration and charity (miscalled Latitudinarianism by the bigots of all par ties), and urging all moderate men, and men of com mon sense, to unite together to curb the vagaries of the sacerdotalists, whether they tend to Rol& on the one, hand, or to Geneva on the other. This article, entitled " Dr. Whichcot and Bishop Butler," is also well worthy of study particularly at the present mo ment. The greater portion of the remainder of Fraser consists of reviews of recently published works. GENTLEMAN'S. Sylvanus Urban appears this month in the charac ter of a reformer, and demands a thorough reform and revision of the Prerogative-office at Doctors' Com mons, a demand in which we cordially concur. The necessity of such reform will be best proved by per mitting Sylvanus to tell his own story in his own words, premising that the occasion of his complaint arose out of the impediments thrown in bis way whilst endeavouring to ascertain who was the Sir Miles hobart of the Parliament of 3d Charles 1., who locked the door of the House of Commons and put the key in bis pocket in order to prevent the de parture of the Speaker and the entrance of the Black Rod. Mr. Urban, after mentioning a slight dis crepancy of dates, says— " flow to reconcile this discrepancy we cannot tell; and in the present state of the Prerogative•oflice, where every inquiry is hedged round with impediments and fees, it is quite impossible to ascertain. There is no office in the kingdom the regulations of which are so utterly prohibitory of all literary inquiry as this. We went thither to endeavour to clear up this difficulty, and having paid the customary chilling fee, turned to the volume of the calendar applicable to the period in ques tion. That volume contains references to all the ad ministrations granted between 1631 and 1633, both in clusive, arranged in the order in which they were granted, not alphabetically, but merely by the initial letter of the surname of the deceased, and without any thing to indicate the dates of the respective grants. After some search we found a reference to one which related to Miles Hobart,' not Sir Miles Hobart.' We pointed out the circumstance to the attendant, and con cluding that this entry referred to the administration of the 26th June, we requested to see it, supposing that the calendar had omitted the customary designation of knighthood. That turned out to be the fact, but the ad ministration alluded to was not the grant of the 26th June, 1632, but one granted on the 11th June, 1633. It was not, therefore, the one which wo wanted, and if the catalogue had stated its date we should not have re ferred to it. In the margin of the minute of this grant was a reference to another grant, which the attendant turned to, but still that was not the one we wanted. Again, we searched tha calendar, and found a ,reference to another grant which was entered as relating to Sir Miles Hobart:' that was turned to; it was the one we wanted; the book was laid open before us, but we were told that we could not consult it without the payment of another fee of one shilling.' " ' Why so?' "We were reminded that we bad seen two grants already, and were informed that an extra fee was pay able on the sight of every third. ' But those we have Seen already,' we remarked, have been referred to in mistake.' Undoubtedly,' was the answer; 'if you had found what you want you would not desire to look fur ther; but such mistakes take up our time, and give us trouble. If you were searching in the name of Smith, our whole time might be occupied in turning from grant to grant before we found the right one.' "' That would be the consequence of your calendars not being properly framed. The mistake, in this in stance is not ours but yours. If your calendar had stated the dates of the grants we have seen, we should not have referred to them. Do you make inquirers pay for that which is the consequence of your calendar being im perfect?' " Our protest was in vain. In vain also did we point out that the search was merely for a literary purpose. It made no difference. Nothing is known in the Prero gative-office but the strict rule of a shilling for every third.' So we paid our second shilling, and inspected the grant of 26th June, 1632. It clearly refers to Sir Miles the Member for Great Marlow, and yet it stands dated 'vicesimo sexto Junii, 1632,' three days before his death. _ _ -- ; - We inquired if there wore any papers in the office by which the accuracy of the date could be tested. Several gentlemen (all of them very obliging) seemed to think there were not; another gave reasons for thinking that there must be, but there would be a fee of half-a crown for a search for them.' This, with all tsthe at tendant uncertainties, and possibly further contingent fees if the papers were found, and all to enable us to clear up what is apparently a mistake in their own books, was a little too bad, and we walked' away, musing how long :t will bo before indignant common sense will be aroused to visit this snug little den of old-fashioned sinecure extortion with the rough besom of a whole sale reformation. This office now stands pre-eminent amongst public offices as that one in which there is no concern for literature, no appreciation of the historical uses of the documents of which the registrars are the appointed keepers, no proper calendars, no feeling or regard for the public character and credit of that church with which they are connected, or for anything save the one shilling for every third.'

Their milk chalk and brains, and their tea is but greens, Where they polish their apples and all other fruit, And the voice of the muffin-man never is mute? Where the tints of your nose, and the chimney-pot high, In colour not varied with blackness may vie, And the soot that falls on you is deepest in dye? 'Tis the town of the North, and of great Exhibitions, Of pickpockets, thieves, and of base impositions!

SlR,—The Grand Duchess with young liiett up, in a spin fur the 5 soya. Stakes opened the day's sport with a most exciting race; the winner , end Sardanapalus bounced away at a strong bat, followed by the Exotic filly. The Celeste filly in starting fell—the Duchess maintained her lead throughout, end won a splendid race from Nat on Sardanapalus, by a neck, Butler, on the Exotic filly, being only a long neck behind. .In the spurt for the Royal Stakes, Norman, on Mida3, jumped off with a stiff lead at starting, Harpsichord laying second, and Ariosto third; they travelled in this order to the descent from the bushes, where Ariosto crept into the second place, and, chellengiug Midas a doEn strides from the chair, won easy by a length. The next stake that stood for 'decision on the roll of time was the grand one of the week—the Cesare witch—which, singular to say, has resulted in the victory of an extreme outsider. The field, numbering 26, was got well from the post, several of the fast light-weights laying in front till near the distance; here it was 15 r with all but Barcelona, Candlewick, Mrs. Taft, Darkie, Dulcet, and Hippolytus; half way up it the race was no longer in doubt, Mrs. Taft, a six-year old with a stone for every year, steered admirably by Steggles, cleared the field, and won rather easily by two lengths; Barcelona, who had looked well for three parts of the race, beating Candlewick four lengths for second place, the latter a length a head of Hipp o lyt us; D u l cet fif t h , and Darkie sixth. Tho race was run at a good pace, as the time, 4 min. 6 sec., will certify. It is a funny fact that not one of the seven prophetic celebrities have hit the mark; my particular fancy, Hippolytus, ran no nearer than fourth, and not a bad performance against the winner's either, when it is considered that he gave three years for one pound difference in weight. I believe this is the first time Mr. Bevill has ever had the luck to win a large stake or handicap, and it is to be hoped, now that Mrs. Taft has broken the charm, he may go on and conquer. The winner was not mentioned in the ring at starting, although 1,000 to 30 had been repeatedly offered in the town, and in a few instances taken. It is generally believed that with regard to the bookmakers they are on the right side of the post this time, and that the aris tocracy and public, the former especially, have dropped the circulating article very stiffly. The Clearwell Stakes shook the nerves of the ring into a most electric paced gallop by the-unexpected defeat of the crack Elcot, who actually gave way at the cords and left the race to King ston and. Harbinger, the former getting a littl e th e b es t of it as he approached the chair, and winning out of the fire by a short neck from the Goodwood horse; Ambrose was a bad third, and Elcot fourth; Cara Cara, Theodine, St. Andrew, and Major Pitt's Ratan filly beaten off early. This running of Kingston's, giving 6lbs to Har binger, 31b to Elcot, and 61b to everything ,else in the race, must not be forgotten, as the animal evidently im proves with every appearance in public. The Cambridgeshire betting has not been materially influenced by the decision of the Cesarewitch; Curl and Newminster still maintaining the lead as first favou rites at 10 to 1 each—the Heriot, however, has advanced to 12 to 1, Candlewick to 13 to 1, Prime Minister to 14 to 1, and Breba 25 to 1. The following are the fields for to-morrow's races, as near as they can be ascertained at the present moment: —Dinner Stakes—Greengage (Nat), 1; The filly by Alarm, 2; The filly by St. Martin, 3. Bretby Stakes— Red Hind or Glenluce, 1; Trinket, 3; Tsga filly, 4. 200 Soya. Stakes—Uri el, 1; Bordeaux; 2. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Oct. 15, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY NlGHT.—Speculators from all parts and every grade poured in this evening, and the room, from nine o'clock until after midnight, was thronged. The amount of business, however, was not by any means commensurate with the numbers present, and the alte rations were confined to a few of the Cesarewitch horses. Hippolytus and Darkie improved on the pre vious quotations, and Antigone, displacing her stable companion, became a very prominent favourite; Sauter la •Coupe also advanced several points, and 20 to 1 was the extreme laying price against Candlewick, Westow, and The Italian. Goldfinder receded to 12 to 1, and Backbiter to 30 to I—neither of them backed. The general prices left off as follows: CESAREWITCII. to 2 agst Hippolytus (t) I2oto 1 agst Westow to 1 agst Darkie I 20 to 1 agst Italian ' • 12 to 1 agst Antigone J 30 to 1 agst Backbiter 12 to 1 agst Sauter la Coupe 30 to 1 agst Officious 12 to 1 agst Goldfinder 35 to 1 agst Hungerford 20 to 1 agst Candlewick 40 to 1 apt Dulcet 1,000 even on Hippolytus agst Rogers's lot.

Lest night the hell of the Literary Institution, John-street, Fitzroy-square, was crowded by an au dience eager to hear a lecture on the Bloomer dress reform, advertised to be delivered by Mrs. H. Knight, assisted by her daughter, Miss Charlotte Knight. Precisely at half-past eight the two lady lecturers appeared upon the rostrum, dressed in fall Bloomer costume. Mrs. KNIGHT, who is an eloquent and distinct speaker, commenced her address by demonstrating the false position occupied by women at the present time, and then passed on to prove that the reform which she advocated in female dress would be conducive to the real well-being of the wives, mothers, and daughters of England. She denounced the " light and fash ionable slipper," the horrible compression of the lungs produced by stays, and the long draggling dress which in wet weather keeps its wearer damp and chilly—as fruitful sources of consump tion. The anomalous position now occupied by woman was in accordance with the will of her master, —man; but would it not be better, sbe asked, to let women have their own way a little sometimes, espe cially in matters of dress, which concerned exclu sively her own health and comfort ?—(Hear, hear.) But the question was one which concerned all, even the Legislature, as there could be no healthy and noble-minded children unless there were first noble minded and healthy mothers. With respect to the advantages of the new costume over the old, she claimed for it the superiority in convenience, form, colour, easiness of adjustment, and picturesqueness of effect.—(Hear, hear.) Having thus far addressed the wives and mothers, Miss Knight would, while she rested apse?, address the daughters, the juveniles, then present. Miss CHARLOTTE KNIGHT, a young lady, appa rently about twelve years of age, then came forward, and addressed the juveniles in a series of rhymes, the burthen of which was to tease their papas and mamas to buy them the Bloomer costume, in which they would be able to run, jump, and dance like men. On concluding the young lady was rapturously encored, but declined to repeat her address. Mrs. KNIGHT then resumed, dwelling upon the advantages to be derived from the adoption of the new costune, among which would be the saving of the time now consumed in " single stitch, double stitch, and all the other stitches," which might instead be devoted to the improvement of the female mind. Ladies wore stays to give themselves a good figure, but it was not a good figure; it was a cramped and contracted figure, exactly represent ng the cramped and contracted feet of the Chinese ladies, who looked like towers based on pebbles, although their cramped feet were, in truth, no more ridiculous than the wasp waists of English women.—(Heor.) She did not deny that the new dress might seem awkward, and even a little ridiculous at first, but that would wear off in time. A Bloomer was a rare bird now, but they were spreading their nets, and hoped to catch a few more—(Laughter)—and from com;ng to hear lec tures on the dress, ladies would soon pass to wearing the dress itself; and, after doing so with courage and determination, they would find out its advantages, and become Bloomers indeed.—(Cheers.) Mrs. Knight end her daughter retired from the rostrum amid cheers from the audience, which then quietly dispersed. Pears, SUNDAY.—Three "Bloomerists" male their appearance on the Boulevards yesterday, and attracted so much inconvenient attention that they were obliged to take refuge from the crowd in a brougham. BLOOMERISM IN EDINBURGH.—On Thursday evening a young woman was perceived walking along Nicholson -street, dressed in the most fantastic style ofithe Bloomer costume. Her appearance soon at• tracted a large crowd of boys, whose remarks were characterised by more freeness than politeness. The young woman bore the insulting remarks very pa tiently, until she waived at the South Bridge, where the crowd had increased to several hundreds. She was at last reluctantly complied to take refuge in a haberdasher's shop from the crowd, which had grown so dense es to make her further progress a difficult matter.—,Saturday Evening Post. HUNTING A BLOOMER.—Yesterday evening two females, in the Bloomer costume, accompanied by two gentlemen, promenaded in the vicinity of the Kent road, distributing bills, announcing a lecture on the reformation of ladies' dress in the Borough-road. The novelty in this case was, that the trousers were loose over the instep, instead of being fastened round the ankle. A crowd soon collected round them, and the male escort had some difficulty in getting them along. As they approached the Elephant end Castle the mob became exceedingly 1 ale, end the party pru dently hailed a passing cab, in which the Bloomers, after considerable pushing to get through the mob, were deposited and driven off, amidst an indescribable medley of sounds, whistling, cheering, and shouts of laughter. A FOREIGN BLOOMER.—Yesterday forenoon a con siderable degree of interest was manifested in War wick-street, Pimlico, and the neighbourhood, owing to the appearance of a foreign lady, of something like European notoriety, attired in full "Bloomer" cos tume. A great crowd having been attracted, the fair Bloomer in question was followed by several hundred of the juvenile population, who testified their admira tion by loud and frequent applaudings of the young lady's temetity in braving the storm of a London mob, as yet not wholly wedded to the recent invasion of the garbs of their ancestors. Whether a new light has broke in upon the mind of a specimen of a most singular race of the creation, is a question, not perhaps to be answered by the essay of Miss Luggy, one of the Bosjeman ladies, who for the last four years, have been making the tour of Europe, but certainly she, in the costume of a Bloomer, yester day, not only lcoked intelligent, but absolutely digni fied, as she strutted through Warwick•street, preceded by a policeman, who gallantly heralded her approach, by clearing a passage for the distinguished disciple of the Transatlantic heroine. The fair Bloomer, whose name, it is said, is Miss Luggy, seemed exceedingly pleased, not only with herself; but with the reception she was meeting, until at length one young urchin taking it into his head to handle the short curly down, yclept hair, of the diminutive lady, the scene changed to one of a less pleasant nature, and it be came necessary for the gentleman of the force to lay hands upon the intruder, and walk him off to the police station. The promenade of Miss Luggy wee of course brought to a close ; and several expressions of sympathy from the matronly portion of the audience, the young foreigner was, un der the protec tion of a policeman, escorted t o her home by several of her most energetic admirers. liowever unsuited WOOLWICH GARRISON. OCTOBER 13.—The whole of the Royal Artillery and the 17th Lancers in the garrison off duty assembled in light marching order to-day on Woolwich Common, where they were drawn up in line in the following or der:—The Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bell; the 17th Lancers, under Major Brett; the right battalion of the Foot Artillery, under Lieutenant-Colonel Dalton; a nine-pounder field battery, with gunners dismounted, of Captain Craw ford's company, the centre battalion tinder Lieutenant- Colonel Wilford ; a 12-pounder field battery, with gun ners dismounted, of Captain Taylor's company, the left battalion under Lieutenant-Colonel Otway, and the light field batteries under Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., Commandant of the garrison, arrived on the ground at El quarter past ten o'clock, accompanied by Lieutenant- Colonel Then ndike, Lieutenant-Colonel Tylden, Brigade-Major Bingham, end Captain Riddell, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General of Artillery, The Lieutenant-General commenced his inspection of the troops by riding up the front of the line from right to left, the bands playing during the time he was passing the respective bfanches of the Royal Artillery service and the 17th Lancers. The troops then broke into open columns, and marched past at slow time, and the Foot Artillery and heavy field batteries again at pick time, the Horse A -tillery, the light field batteries, and the 17th Lancers at a trot. The Lancers returned past at a canter, and the Royal Horse Artilleiy at a gallop. The troops subsequently went through a few of the evolutions of a field-oay, but v.lthout any firing, as no ummenition had been served out to them, nor where any Oistinge;shcd visitors or foreigners expected to be present on the occa sion. At the conclusion the troops formed in line and marched forward, giving the usual salute to the Lieu* - General, and agein marched past at qt"ck time to bar racks. The men were ordered to dine at 1 instead of 12 o'clock, and the guards to be relieved at 3 P.M. instead of half-past 10 o'clock A.M. SINGULAR ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON-ROAD.— Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock, an accident of rather a remarkable character happened in the London-road, South wark, of which the following are the particulars : - It appears that for some time past a drain has been in the course of construction, in order to carry the sewage from the road into one of the back streets. The earth having been exca vated to the depth of 5 or 6 feet, some 2 or 3 feet wide, and 7 orb feet in length,lwas shored round on Monday night r with scaffold poles, and two men left to take care of the lanterns and to see that the candles were not allowed to go out. The men, it seems, either feel asleep or neglected to trim the lights, for the latter went out and left the boarding in such a condition that it could not be perceived by an ordinary tra veller until he arrived witbin a few feet of the hole. A man driving a cab was placed in that dilemma; for, in passing along the road, the horse dashed through the scaffolding, and immediately fell into the aperture in the wound. The cab, being too large to enter the sewer, remained above, but the weight of the horse was so great that it broke the shafts away from the carriage, and, being entangled against the earth-walls of the sewer, it was found impossible to get rim out alive; and, after struggling for some time, the animal became suffocated. The horse is described as being a valu able one; the loss will therefore be somewhat considerable, as the vehicle is much damaged. The driver received a severe shock by being thrown front his cab, but was compa ratively unhurt. FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM.—A fatal accident occurred in the dockyard on Sunday morning to William Colesworthy, leading man of shipwrights. They were at tempting to dock the Tartar, hulk, on Saturday; but owing to there not being sufficient water, the workmen were or dered into the yard on Sunday morning, at half-past twelve, and while in the act of heaving the ship in dock one of the bow hawsers broke, and struck Colesworthy, who was sta❑ding at the head of the dock, and fractured his skull to a great extent. He was immediately taken to Melville Hos pital ; but consciousness never returned, and he expired about noon on the same day. AQUATlCS.—Yesterday a race took place between John Blackmore and John Allen, below-bridge watermen, for 251. a side. The distance was from Erith to the Venus at Charlton. The Pally steam-boat, which was to accompany the match, started from Woolwich for Erith, which it reached about three o'clock. Shortly after the start took place, and a very gallant struggle ensued Blackmore had the lead at starting, which he kept for some time, closely followed by Allen, who pulled up in fine style. The competitors were then scull and scull for a considerable distance, when Allen shot shead of his opponent. He kept the lead, and reached the Venus a short distance in advance of Blackmore, amidst the cheers of his friends. An inquest was held at Staplehurst a day or two since upon the body of Jobn Dotting Saunders, head porter at the Staplehurst station of the South-Eastern Railway. It appeared in evidence that the deceased had just started a pick-up train for Dover, and was seen walking by its side as it passed slowly from the platform, with one hand resting on one of the trucks of the train. From some cause he stum bled and fell, rolling from the platform upon the rails, when it appears that the wheels of two carriages passed over him, causing his death within four hours of the accident. Verdict accordingly. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CITY BRIDEWELL.— Yesterday evening an inquest was taken by Mr. William Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on view of the body of Samuel Evans, aged 15, a lad, an inmate of the House of Occupation attached to the City Bridewell, Pn institeon established for the reclamation of juverile criminals, by teaching them a trade. Deceased, who was learning the duties of a seaman last Friday wed-, was on the steps a ladder fixed to the shrouds of a brig, which was O ofhe grovnds. He was about to step on the rattlings, when he missed his footing and fell on the deck, a height of 26 feet, Blighting on his head. He was picked up by Mr. Cairn, the master, who had him conveyed t o th e a b ove i nstitution, ' w here he died on Sunday last f rom l oc kj aw, the effect of the irduiies received. Verdict--" Accidental death." OLITAN COMMISSION -SI;;ERS.—Tbe Ez e n e o ti r ng of the Comm at is t s h ion - ers of the Metropolitan first M Sewers was held yesterday, principal office in Greek street, Soho-square. iere were e present—Mr. Lewes ( c hairman), Mr. Hawes, Captain Dawson, Mr. Cubitt, and Mr. Allison. This was the first meeting under the new com mission, and accordingly the instrument was read in extenso by the secretary. Aft er a b r i e f address from the cha i rman it was resolved that the secretary, the . engineer, the treasurer, and one or two o th er o ffi cers , be re-appointed during the pleasure of the Court, but that with respect to all other officers, they be re-appointed for one month, the object being to enable the commissioners thoroughly to investigate and revise the whole establishment. A communication was di rected to be sent to the Lord Mayor, informing his Lordship of the issuing of the commission, and requesting that four members of the Court of Aldermen or Common Council might be appointed under it, in respect to all matters which con cerned the city of London. The days of meetings were then fixed, and after the transaction of some routine business the commissioners adjourned. —ANOTHER POACHING AFFRAY...--At ten o'clock last Monday night, the Earl of Scarborough's keepers, ten in number, came in contact with about forty poachers, in Rut . . ford Park, Notts. The poachers were armed with flails and stones, and when attacked by the keepers, a sad conflict en sued, which ended in some of the keepers being Wounded (two of them severely, and one, named Roberts, dangerously, and he is not expected to survive), and the poachers wounded also, one of them a leg and another an arm broken. Some - o f ..4 ' rom a Corresp on d ent. t he poachers are known. 'rue total number of passengers who have lauded at Margate, from the 10th of April to the 4th of October was 35,112 ; embarked, 31,453; total, 66,565, being about one third iu exceeg of the same peried lAA year.. CHEAP OMNIBUS CONVEYANCE. On Monday evening a public meeting was held at the Duke of Wellington, Brighton-street, Argyle square, St. Pancras, for the purpose of forming a Cheap Omnibus Conveyance Association, under the direction of Mr. Crawford, the originator of the cheap omnibuses between Paddington and Hungerford. Mr. O'BRIEN having been called to the chair, ex plained to the . meeting the object for which they had been called together. He stated that it was proposed to form an association for the purpose of conveying passengers by omnibus on certain lines of road at further reduced fares. The Chairman then read to the meeting the different routes which had been de termined on by the committee, as also the respective fares for each route, which were as follows : To and from th e Great Western Railway, Pad dington, to the Great Northern Railway, King's-cross To and from the Yorkshire Stingo, New-road 2d. To and from Paddington, by Oxford-street, to the Bank To and from Tottenham-court-road To and from King's-cross to the Bank, and to the Brighton Railway .. To and from the York and Albany to the Ele phant and Castle To and from Waterloo-bridge. To and from Morniugton-crescent, Hampstead road, to Charing-cross .•• • . . To and from Barnsbury - -park to the 8ank........ 4d. To and from the Angel, Islington .. •• 2d. To and from the Flora Gardens, Bayswater, to the Regent's circus or Tottenham-court-road 2d. He then said that this would evidently be a great' boon, and would, there was no doubt, be extensively patronised by the public, as no one would pay four pence for that which they could obtain for twopence ; at the same time it would be shown that the reduced fares would return a handsome profit to the proprie tors. If it were taken into consideration that so long ago as 1846 the public-spirited gentleman who was at present engaged informing this association (he alluded to Mr. Crawford) started a number of omnibuses to ply between Hungerford and Paddington, at the re duced fares of twopence, when every article of con sumption was at least one-third, and in some instances one-half, dearer than at present; and if they also considered, that owing to the repeal of the corn-laws there was not the slightest chance that corn would ever be subjected to the same fluctua tions in prices as it had formerly been; but that in all human probability every article of consumption would be still further reduced in price —if, with all these facts before the meeting, it were possible to run an omnibus at a twopenny fare in 1846, how much more must it be so in 1851, when the expenses must necessarily be so much less, in consequence of the reduced price of corn, hay, straw, and beans, as well as every other article of consnmption ? He also took occasion to advert to the number of omnibuses that had been called into existence during the Exhibition, and to the fact that now it was over this property must necessarily be sold at a great sacrifice, and a number of hands thrown out of employment, unless doingth e present s o, and a upons s oci a a some means were devised to call them again int o re auon would isition The re se p t ab h l e i s h meansm t of of basis, he had no doubt, which would be satisfactory t o establishment e n all parties, and thus be the means of making that pro perty available which must otherwise be sacrificed. The Chairman also pointed out to the meeting that the only way in which areduction in the fares could be suc cessfully accomplished was by means of an association, so as to be enabled to compete with existing interests. One or two individuals could do but little against a great monopoly ; but several might—and the present, when so many omnibuses were likely to be unemployed, was the very time when such an associa tion should be formed. Of the patronage of the public there could be no doubt. That it would re munerate the proprietors would be shown to the meet ing ; the only thing wanting, therefore, was the spirit and determination of a number of individuals asso ciated together for the purpose of carrying it out, and which association, if once formed, he had no doubt would be brought to a successful termination, and a handsome profit be the reward of their efforts. _ _ Air. CRAWFORD then addressed the meeting, show ing the practicability of the scheme, and proving from acknowledged data that considerable profits could be derived from cheap fares. He explained to the meet ing the necessary expenses upon each omnibus, and proved satisfactorily that, even under the most un favourable circumstances, considerable profits must accrue. Several omnibus proprietors having fully concurred in all that had been stated, both by the Chairman and Mr. Crawford, expressed their willingness to put on omnibuses immediaWy the association should be formed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, an adjournment took place till Monday evening next, at seven o'clock, when the rules of the association will be submitted to the meeting for its approval. MISERIES OF AN AMERICAN EDITOR. Under this head, the editor of the Boston Post thus hits off some of the evils he is compelled to put up with in his sanctum. Lest some of our readers may be driven to look into Webster to :sustain the signification of the word terebration. see can inform them that it means the "act of boring." The editor cf the Post hits some of the bores who pester him in the wise fAlowing:— An Act from an Unpublished Drama. DRAMATIC PER , oN:E—An Editor and two Bores. SCENE—Editor's ..s'l..netunr.

The memorial was agreed to. In the course of the proceedings, Mr. Fuller, cne of the Members for Sussex, said " he would do all that lay in his power to assist in getting the postponement. Ile exceedingly regretted that more of the county Members were not with them. On a previous occasion they had only one of the county Members with them—Mr. llodd, of Maidstone. He well knew that combinedth e farmers,with it in other consequence circumstances, of the were now blight in inv their er, gt h r o e p a s, distress; and he felt confident that very many of them were wholly unable to pay the hop tax. It was , therefore, their duty the T t r o e a t s l u i e r i 3 r . a p n o d o r ehr the n e c i g h h a b n o c u e r l s l r t o e memorialise he t e u e L r o t r o d s d o o f something for them ; but that memorial, to be effective, must be unanimous. As for Protection, as he told th em some two or three years ago, they must think nothing ab ou t get ting that back again. That, he believed, was inevitably lost to them, and they must, therefore, set about exerting them selves in another direction—namely, in getting a reduction of taxation." DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A SoLicrrolt,--Consi derable excitement prevai:ed on S un d ay morning, in the re tired v illage of Tickbill, Y or k s hi re, i n consequence of the de termined suicide of Richard Ellison, Esq., solicitor, and chief resident of the place. It appears that, during the previous week, the unfortunate gentleman had been, from some un explained cause, labouring under much depression of mind, which at length assumed such an alarming appearance, that it was deemed necessary to place a strict watch on his move ments, as it was apprehended that he would make an attempt on his life. On Sunday morning he arose in apparently better spirits, and walked in the garden, accompanied as usual by his attendants. After taking exercise for some timo, he contrived to elude his watchers' vigilance, and returned to the house unnoticed and alone. His absence was detected almost immediately, and an alarm was raised, which led t o the discovery of his body, on the dining-room qu itefloor e , n dead. The unfortunate gentleman appears to have h l nfi e iete( di rect to his room, and there cut his throat..

Meanwhile the mas ters have held a meeting, and resolved that if the operatives in these two mills do not return to their work they will close all the other mills in the district on M-nday, and make the strike general.
