London: Longman, Brown, Grcen, and LongmanS. _ . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAII I SION-HO USE. FALSE WEIOUTS.—A man named L , ttis Myers was on Tuesday brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the fol lowing charge : Mr. Turner, assistant-inspector of weights and mea sures, said—l was in Lower Thames-start, with Mr. Harvard, tho city of London inspector of weights and measures, and I ram the defendant selling nu's there with this %eight (producing a weight which appeared to be a half-pound weight). It is only a quarter of a pound weight. I was not near encugh to him to see whether he sold the nuts by it a; a half pound weight. Upon examining it I found it to be undamped. There is a fictitious stamp upon it, and impositions aro constantly practised with weights of this kied. I got hold of the weight, and he snatched it away. lie had a barrow with his nuts, and there was a ir/chino upon it. There are two other weights which he had in his possession, and which are also unstanapsd. A policeman said, I was called by" the inspector of weights and mea sures i n T hames - street , an d too k th e I defendant into custody. I saw him try to throw some thing away, and I afterwards picked up the two weights which I produce.—(A weight which was spreal out to appear like a pound weight but was no more than a half pound, was then produced.) Turner, the assistant inspector, added—The half pound weight produced was in use on the occasion. The other weights he had in his pocket, to be used, no doubt, when opportunities occurred. Mr. Harvard said the defendant had been marked as a dealer in the unfair way described, and contrived, by substituting the expanded weight, to charge his cus tomers just double the quantity he,solcl, so that the trick was more profitable that the old aone of cheating by light weights. The defendant was in the habit of let ting out barrows, which were supplied with similar bad weights, and he gave a wrong lair:ass on being ap plied to. Alderman Gums said he had heard of the extraordi nary success with which the ingenious deception was practised, and bad given dire coons to the police to catch the movements of the numerous vendors in the streets. He trusted that buyers would be on their guard against the barrow gentry, who were thus availing themselves of the app. Branca of the weights to inflict a heavy imposition. The defendant said he never had used the weights for more than they actually represented, and pleaded that he was justified in using stamped weights, whatever their appearance might be. Alderman GIBBS said the weights were not only made for the purposes e f deception, bat were unstained, and the dereed ant must pay the penalty of 205., or •go to Bridowe 11 for 14 days. The weights were, of course, forfeited. The ds fe.ntlant declared that nothing should induce him to pay the penalty, and his commitment was accordin L ly made out,- and he was sent to prison. Next day, after the routine business of the justice-room was c included, the defendant, who did not relish the in terior of cur City prison, having paid the penalty, end re leased himself from the disagreeable alternative, walked into the presence a the Alderman, and said he was de termined to " pull" the witnesses for psaiury committed in swearing that the weights which had been taken from him were unstarnpsd. lie produced a weight which he said was the counterpart of one of those which had been taken from him, and said that nobody could deny the fact that it was a legitirea'e weight. tie bad purchased it of a tradesman, who assured him that it was regularly stamped. Alderman GIBBS said the weight produced was not City stamped, and was not recognised by the City autho r:ties. Ho also informed the defendant that there were some tradesmen who refused fietitiout stamps, and that the weight produced was one of that description, and he advised the indignant costermonger t ) exercise due caution in pursuing his trade, as he might meet an in quisitive policeman at every corner. JOSEPH ADY AT WORK AGAlN.—Joseph Ady fa voured the Lord Mayor with the following communi cation:— " 13 & 14 Vict., cap. 61.—August 14, 1850.—Act to extend the Act for the more easy Recovery of Small Debts, &c., under 501. at the County Courts. " My Lord Mayor,—The Act above quoted is lying before me. I am of opinion that it supersedes all former Acts relative to debts, &c.; that it is beneficial to cre ditors by enabling the Judge of the Sheriffs' Court to give time to a debtor to pay by instalments, instead of imprisoning him with felons, to gnaw his food like dog', even when he has no teeth, and for no other crime than poverty.—Respectfally, JOSEPH ADY.—Aug. 19, 1850." BO W-STEEE7. PICKING POCKETS.—J. Tay'or was charged with picking the pockets of Mr. J. W. Watson. The prosecutor stated that, shortly before ten o'clock yesterday, he was passing along Wellington-street North, when he heard f)otsteps behind him, and immediately afterwards the prisoner dined by him. This attracted his suspicions, and he found his handkerchief was gone. He followed the prisoner along the Strand, when, finding that he was being pursued, he threw the handkerchief into the road, and endeavoured to make his escape, but was stopped by several persons w ho were following in the chase. Mr. Hear. said that during the last fortnight three handkerchiefs had been most adroitly taken from his own pocket on his way to this court. He had lost so many handkerchiefs in a similar manner that he had been compelled to adopt a new plan, and he always now car ried his handkerchief in his breast. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. M AIiYL EBONE. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE ON THE POLlCE,—Mariin St. Leger, a beershep keeper, in Devonshire-street, Lisson grove, .John St. Leger, his brother, and Michael McDon nell, were charge with having violently assaulted several police censtab'es, two of whom, Sergi ant Steer and Constable Cooper, had susteintel injuries which pre vented them from attending. It appeared from the evidence of police officers, most of whom had swollen and blackened eyes, and their foreheads and other parts of their face strapped up with adhesive plaister, that on the sense morning, between two and three o'clock, an entry was mode into the beer. atop alluded to, owing t o th e po li ce b e ing satisfied, from hearing the rattli ng o f bells, t hat there was gambling going on therein, and th at t h ey ( t h e offi e rs) upon in terfering, were attacked by the prisoners, the implements which were used in the attack upon them being a poker, a large stick, a fire shov e l, and a thick staff. Some of the officers bled prof use l y and fainted, and it was a'most a miracle that there were net two or three lives sacri ficed. The prisoner s were ultimate l y securer] acid con veyed to the sration-houge, vehere they were lacked up.

The reply was that he had no doubt he was one of his assailants, and that when he saw him at this court he pointed him out from amongst a crowd of persons, although he was dressed difftrendy to what he was on the morning of the robbery. It was stated to the magistrate that the third man concerned in the offence was still at large; that he with Davis was apprehended on the previous day in a public house near the Victoria Theatre, and that while in cus tody, and on the way to the station-house, he struck Sergeant Jones, of the L division, a desperate blow on the head with a lite-preserver and made his escape, and that since then he had deserted his usual haunts, and was supposed to have left town. tenant; and Mr. Moresby Clerk (another son) is to ba tic secretary, if this notice does not shame the Admi ralty out of tolerating so gross a family job. The se cretary to a commander-in chief should he a man of sound . jungment, well-tested discretion, and practically acquainted 'with at least minor matters of diplomacy. At all events, he should boa man of mature Scare. But in the present case the gentleman selected is, if we are rightly informed, not more than 19 years cf age. He has had no experience as a clerk, for he has not even " passed," and his name does not, consequently, appear in the Navy List. The idea, too, of Lending out an Admiral in a small frigate (the Portland of Java, one of which will ba commissioned in a few hours for this service) to such a station as the Pacific is a weakness we did tot think the Admiralty would be guilty of committing a second time. It is far more essential to have an able line-of-battle-ship on the Pacific than on the West India station, as in the latter case we can detach a home farce (such as the Lisbon squadron) in 21 days, in case of need; but in the former no such ready facilities for augmenting the strength of the squadron in an emergency exists. The Adventure naval transport, Mr. Wellington, Master, R N., Commanding, arrived this morning from the Brazils and Coast of Africa stations. Her news from the former has been anticipated by other arrivals. She left Ascension on the 7th of July. Captain Hutton, the Governor, and all on the island were well, and well oil for provisions. The Contest, 12, Commander the lion. J. W. S. Spencer, had left the station for the East Indies. The Centaur steam-frigate, Commodore Fanahawe, C. 8., had been two months at Ascension, but sailed on the 2d of July for the Bights. A court of in quiry had been held on board the Snap tender, about a fortnight prior, relative to the conduct of Mr. Carrington, clerk, who was subsequently dismissed from the service by the commodore. Drunkenness was the cause. Mr. Eeies, late clerk of the Bonetta, was appointed to the va7ancy. Captain Buckle, flag-captain to Commodore Fanshawe, we regret to announce, was very ill at the date of our advices. The Adventure brought a mail and 21 invalids from the African squadron, and a freight of 30,0001. sterling in gold dust from Rio. The invalids have been sent to Hasler, and the freight will be con veyed to the Bank of England to-morrow by Messrs. Chambers, the freight agents of this port. Mr. YiEADON —Thtn I shall remand the prisoners until Thursday nex►, and probably by that time the other man will be in eust )dy, and then the depositions can be taken. The prisoners were then remanded. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE GREAT NORTIIERN.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.-Already there is con siderable traffic on the new line, the long-distance pas senger trains being generally well filled, and the number daily on the increase. The time by the fast trains is well kept; and the distance bet :seen London and Peter borough (76 miles) is usually accomplished a few minutes within 24 hours. Through passengers Irons Hull may be interested in hearing something of the route by which they travel. From Huntingdon to Londcn, the scenery so well known to travellers by the old stage coaches, is again open to view, the railway taking the picturesque route by St. Neot's, Sandy, Biggleswale, Hitchin, Wel wyn, Hatfield, Barnet, and Hornsey. The Hertfordshire portion of the line presents a panorama of surpassing beauty; there are several cuttings. and no less than eight tunnels between Hitchin and London; but at every opening the view of hill and d tie, and woodland scenery, is strikingly impressive. It skirts the fins domain of Kuehworth, near Stevenage (the property of Sir E. B. Lytton, Bart), and the turrets of the mansion, sur mountel by a large flag waving in the breeze, rare visible ahove large clusters cf oaks and limes. It also, near Potter's Bar, passes through the 'Tett fordehire estate of Colonel Sibthorp. A little more than a mile from Welwyn is the Digswcll via luct-a work c f the kind not second, either in the ski:l displayed in its construction, or the beauty of its appearance, to any in the kingdom. It consists of 40 semicircular arches, of 30 feet span; the height from the surface of the water to the top of the parapet is 100 feet, and the length cf the whole erection is 1,563 feet. The so - ches arc built with four rings of brick-work in cement, and with ad ditional four rings forming the back ribs. The piers, which have a light and graceful appearance, are hollow , from the surface of the grou n ' l, in t he cellular form, will I stone-work inclosing the cells. There are 40,000 cube yards of brick-work, and 50,600 feet of stone in the structure; the number of bricks aqually used was six teen mllions, and the cost of the erection was 75,0004 or 80,000/. The viaduct is the largest in the kingdom, with two exceptions-those at Stockport and Ceegleton, and neither of the latter is either so light or so elegant. From this spot, rich pastures a 'd corn lands extend far away, embosomed by sta'ely woods, which, cirelicg rourel, seem like the galleries of a vast amphitheatre. Tewin Water, Brocket, axkleys, and other seats, dot the near landscape, and through an open in the trees a glimpse is obtained of Hertford heath, and, rising above the loftiest woods, the tower of Little Beikhampstead. There is another viaduct in the parish of Welwyn, called Robbery viaduct (sail to have derived its name from the freqte ncy cf highway robberies there at a former period). This con sists of :even semicircular arches of 22 feet span, and 60 feet high from the top of the road to the parapet,- The new carriages of the Great Northern Railway are so lofty that a man six feet high can stand upright in them. RAILWAY TO WELLS.-Ia consequence of a rsquisi tien, nnmerously'and respectably signed by the eitizsns of Wells, the Mayor, E. N. Wells, Esq., convened a meeting, which was held on the 20. h inst., for the pur pose of considering the propriety of memorialising the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company on the necessity of a speedy construction of a railway from Wells to Meador), in pursuance of the powers of their Act of Parliament of 11th and 12th Vic., c. 77. The Mayor, in opening the preceedings of the me: ring, in a short but forcible speech, rernai leed on the great want of raileosy communication with Wells, and the promises held out by the Bristol aed Exeter Comp any as to con structing the line to Wells. His worship then called on any gentleman who had any proposition to make to bring the same before the ruceting.- Elenr Se 3 mow, Ebci., said be huld in his hand a me morial (which he intend, 3 to na-ne for adoptioncorebpy theany, meeting) to the Bristul and Exeter Railwayf _ i U r ging on that body at once to t ake step= orconstrueting the line fro ado to Wells. In doing so Mr. Sep; moue ob ved that the first and great object/ was to get a rat to Wells, and the next as to the one the most likely to be obtained. As to the necessity of a railway communication, there could be but one opinion; and to obtain this, the best plan would be to go hand in band, and be unanimous, remembering that between two stools we might come to the ground. That the subject of a rail way was most important to the city of Wvils every one would- admit, considering that we were threatened with the removal of the assizes and sessions, &c., chiefly from the want cf a railway here. Mr. Seymour then entered on the subject of the great depreciation in the value of property in Wells within the last . ten years, in consequence of cur isolated position with reference to th e want of the rapidity of travelling, &c., afforded by rail ways, and concluded by reading the memorial. and mov ing its adoption by the meeting.—Mr. Geo. Lawrence, post-master, then briefly seconded Mr. Seymour's mo tion.—Robert Davies, Esq ,in the course of a short speech, obs erve d th at h e f e l t as great an interest in the subject then before the meeting as any gentleman pre sent, and that his only object in rising was to suggest an addition to the memorial, pledging the memorialists to their aiding the Bristol and Exeter Company in the construction of the line; by taking shares in the under taking, and thereby raising a considerable portion of the capital required. Without some such disposition being shown, Mr. D. expressed a very strong opinion that the subject would not be entertained by the Bristol and Exeter Company. Mr. D. added that he had no wish to disturb the unanimity of the meeting, his only object was to bring the subject before the company in the most forcible and effective manner possible—After some remarks from Mr. S. Backhouse, Mr. Hippisley, Mr. Wilmott, and the Rev. Canon Bernard, the Mayor called for a show of hands by there who were against the adoption of the memorial, but not one was held up. His Worship therefore declared that it was unanimously adopted, and then signed it on behalf of the meeting.—A vote of thanks to the Mayor was then moved by IL Seymour, E:q., seconded by the Rev. Canon Barnard, and carried with acclimation. Joseph Clayton, jun., 20, Strand. THIRTY-FIRST EDITION. Hustrated by 26 knatomlcal Coloured Engravirrns on Steel.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 22. ( Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD THOMAS SHEIL. This insolvent (highly connected), a surveyor cf money presses at the Royal Mint, made an application for a discharge from prison, and a clay to be namel far the first examination. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Grails appeared for creditors; and Mr. Nichols for the insolvent. Although the application was only for a day to be named for the first examination, and tor the discharge, Mr. Commissioner Phillips went fully in o the case, on the point that debts had been incurred without rea sonable expectation of paymont. It appeared that the insolvent owed nearly 1,6001. He was appointed to his situation at the Royal Mint in 1848, at 200/. a year, with 10/. a year increase after the first two years. He pro posed to set aside 70/. a year for his creditors, but the offer was declined. He had some time back petitioned the Court of Bankruptcy, under the Privet,. Arrange ment Act, and proposed to set aside 100/. a year, which proposal he did not carry out. He had been engaged in some bill transactions a-lilt a person named Bevan, who had held a Government situation, and had bor rowed money and obtained wine of Mr. Holloway, the pill maker. He had lived in a furnished house at Groen with of one of the opposing creditors when he was in volved in debt. On the part of the creditors it was urged, that if the discharge was granted the insolvent would not again appear. There was no security for his appearance, as in a bail crse, and the creditors could place no confi dence in him. A question was raised in the course of the case, whe ther the court bad jurisdiction to entert Ain the case on account of the application in the other court, but no evidence was given whether the estate was or was not vested in the Court of Bankruptcy. A creditor who had cashed a bill of exchange with the insolsent's endorsement, said he thought he was Richard Shell, the Master of the Mint, and he was not aware that there were two Richard Shells at the same place until afterwards. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS gave the parties an op portunity to settle; but it could not be done, although the insolvent offered 100/, and to pay 50/. into court. His Honour said, that holding the scales in a proper manner, he could not say that debts had been contracted with reasonoble expectations of payment; and, therefore, no day would be named. The REGISTRAR of the Court suggested that a day should be appointed. The application was for a hearing. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the case had been heard. An application was made to dismiss the petition on the part of the insolvent, to enable him to petition under the other jurisdiction, but it was refused. Mr. Commisssioner PHILLIPS said be might come up at the end of the vacation, and the Court would consider the imprisonment be had undergone. Tile insolvent was remanded to prison. BUCKS COUNTY COURT, Readirg, Aug. 19. (Before J. B. PARRY, Eq., Q.C., Juifge.) CLIAPMAN V. STANFORD, , N FAVOURS. This was an action to recover the sum of 18/. for goods sold and delivered, in the sbapo of rosettes and fdvours used at the late election for Reading, in the room of Mr. Justice Talfourd. The case excited considerable local interest, from the fact of several other actions being likely to be commenced. Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. S. Williams for the defence. The plaintiff and another witness were examined, and proved the delivery of the articles to dtifqent members of the defendant's committe.-. Tno defence was that the extent of the onler was only to the amount of 51., which they admitted; but the plaintiff produced a letter from the Member, wherein he desired him to go to the committee-room and take orders, and no limit was spoken of in that do cument. Judgment, with all costs, for the plaintiff. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. TRIAL OF DIXON DAWSON. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) • Mr. BODKIN replied shortly upon the evidence adduced on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Baron PLATT summed up, and The jury, after a shirt consultation, found the prisoner Guilty, tart strongly reootomended him to mercy. Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced him to ten years' trans portation. The case did not conclude till nearly four o'clock. COMPLAINT AGAINST AN ATTORNEY.—The Sheriffs having calcd the attention of his Lordship to a com plaint that had been made to them by the wife of the man Percival, who was convicted on Wednesday of at tempting to drown a gentleman named Shirreff, and sentenced to be transportel for WC, he directed that Mr. W. B. Davies, an stt)rney, against whom it was made, should stand forward and give an explanation. Mrs. Percival having been sworn, stated that she had given Mr. Davies 4/. for def.mding her hash;:nd. She at first gave hint 21. to employ one counsel, and he after wards obtained 21: more from her, for the purpose of en gaging a second counsel, which was not done. Mr. Davies, in explanation, said that in the first in stance he received 2/ , and ho gave Mr. Payne, who conducted the defence, 11.35. 61. He afterwards advised that a leading counsel should be engaged, and be told Mre. Percival this could not be done without a further sum of 21. 45. 6cl. She gave him 2 1 ., and promiEel to bring 4e. 61. mare the next day, and as she did not do so he, of course, could not fee a second counsel. Mr. Baron PLATT—Then you kept the second O. for doing nothing. Mr. Davies—l prepared the brief, and have it here. Baron PLATT said he thought the 21. ought to be given up. Mr. Davies said ho had not got the amount in his pocket. Baron PLATT said if all were not given up he would direct an indictment to be pref!rred against him. It was monstrous that a poor creature anxious to defend her husband should be treated in such a manner. Mr. Davies said he would b.ing the money the next morning. Baron PLATT—That will not do. The money shall be returned before the grand jury are dicharged. Mr. Davies, upon this intimation from his Lordship, said he would get the money in half an hour, and shortly afterwards it was stated that he had refunded the amount to the complainant. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON • SERGEANT.) AN IRRECLAIMABLE THIEF .--HCiirg Tucker, 19, tailor, pleaded guilty,to an indictment for stealing a coat two pair of trousers, and other articlee, the property of Lord Ashley. Mr. PAYNE appared for the prosecution, and said that in this case the prisoner had been before convicted and sent to Tothill-fields, and having been recommend ed by the chapl a i n o f th at prison as a fit object, ho was ad mitted in April to the ItAgged Dormitory . , Westminster, intended for the reception and preparation ,of person: , for emigration under Lord Ashley's plan. Ho stayed until the middle of July, when he absconded with the 019thes foutid him by the society, and stealing a pair NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., is staying at Brighton. The vacant appointment of inspecting-commander of the coast-guard, caused by the death of Commander Merritt, has been given to Commander James Archi bald Macdonald (1848). Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 8., mustered, in spcc.ed, and paid advance, on Wednesday, in Plymouth Sound, the Thetis, 36, Captain A. L. Kuper, C. 8., and the Salamander, 6, steam-ship, Commander Ellman, these vessels having previously been swung for the adjustment of their compasses by the Queen's harbour master, Mr. Thompson. The Thetis, as we have stated, is ordered to Spithead, and the Salamander has drawn her charts, and was to proceed yesterday to Rio, the Cape, and the East Indies. The new signal-lights now under a course of trial on heard the Blenheim, 56, screw-ship, Captain Henderson, C. 8., at Spithead, are the invention of Mr. Thompson, late surgeon of the Odin steam-frigate, and are intended to be worked as a telegraph at night. The different positions of the lights represent the different numerals, and are to be deciphered by the common day tel, graph book. It is said this Light tel.-graph can be perfectly made out at the distance of two miles and a half. It is now being worked between the Blenheim at Spithead, and the Victory in Portsmouth harbor. Mr- Brown, master of the Agincourt, del 6t-ship of the ordinary, with a party under his charge, embarked yesterday in the Confiance steam tender. and sailed from Devonport for LivLrpol, to navigate the Bacchus to the former port.

Tiger steam-sloop has been masted at Chatham, and taken into dock, to be fitted for service at sea, previously to being sent round to Portsmouth to form one of the reserve squadron. Vengeance, 84, 'Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, has had her old copper stripped off. She is undergoing a thorough caulking previous to receiving new copper. She is progressinz in her rigging; her topmasts are fidded, although as yet she has but few men. Seamen do not like large ships, and as there are such a number of stea mers fitting, she will not got her small complement of seamen till these are manned. The Vengeance will be completed by the dockyard by the 31st. SUPERANNUATIONS.—The following workmen • have been superannuated at Chat Liam dockyard :—James Thompson, oar-maker; Richard Mss, shipwright; Wil liam Virlander and Samuel Endell, sailmakers, on pen sions of 241. per annum each. ADMIRALTY SURVEY OF THE BLACKWATER RIVER. —Commander George A. Frazer, of the Sparrow, has made a report to the Lords of the Admiralty on the ob structions to the navigation of the river Blackwater, in which he says:—"l have the honour to inform you that in the river Blackwater, bettet - eu Youghal and Lismore, a distance of nineteen miles, there are altogether no less than thirty-four tishing-weirs; four below the wooden bridge near Youghal, and thirty above it. Many of these weirs appear to me to be very objectionahle, especially those extending from bights or bays, and which are in every case carried to beyond the natural low-water curve, and almost to the middle of the river; they have accumulated deposit to such an extent as to make their extremities the actual low-water mark. Most of the Blackwater weirs are quite close, being basketed twi andck erw catcho r k a , l a l n m d a therefore eadmirably suspension,adapted a n t d o consider, unobjectionable, as they aro so placed as to i t un o pt e ew a rci u te s hp e its deposit. ; The weirs below the bridge are, I give a better direction to the scour, and, therefore, im provement to the channel or harbour water. I am of ,pinion that almost all weirs tend more or less to do harm, although many may be so circumstanced as not in any way to interfere with its ntivigatior. I do not feel competent to offer an opinion as regards their effects upon the fish of a river ; I may, how ever, presume to remark that the style of weir used in the Blackwater being so very close, must tend in a great measure, I think, to cause that great scarc - ty i n the quantity f salmon so much complained of lately, For they, etch tide, catch enormous quantities of salmon fry, which it is a common thing to see the country people carry away in ha kets full; a fact I witnessed several times, and which I am assured by an intelligent person conversant with the question does a vast amount of damage to the salmon fishery." CANAL SChEw STEAM NAVIGATION.--Oa Saturday sa experiment of an interesting character elm() off in the presence of a considerable number of speetatore, al the Canal Harbour, Portobello Bridge. Its object was to test the applicability of a new screw-propeller to the purposes rf canal navigation. Many attempts have be .nmade from time to time to work canal beats by the aid of s team-power, but hitherto they have been at tended with but a queAlonable success, the motive agent being in every instance applied so as to disturb the water violently, and thereby cause injury to the banks of the canal. To do away with this formidable diffi culty Mr. O'R-gan, the projector of the improved screw-propeller we are about to describe, brought his practical knowledge of machinery into requisition, and with a degree of success which could scarcely have been looked for. The machinery connected with the propeller is of the aimplest character, and occu pies but a very limited space in the interior cif the boat, which hos been built by Mr. O'itegen himself, without the least assistance from any quarter, at an ex pense of 3301. It resembles, in size, shape, and general appearance, the ordinary iron fly-boats employed on our canals, and which have hitherto been worktel by horses only. The steam is generated by a vertical tubular boiler, to which an engine of six-horse power is attached. The cylinder is 5i inches in diameter and of 10i inches stroke, the pressure being 501 b. to the square inch. A screw, 2 feet 4 inches in diameter, and consisting of two arms, is mounted in the stern, immediately behind the rudder; attached to which is a horizontal axle of consi derable length, passing longitudinally through the bottom of the boat, as near to the keel as practicable. A driving band, worked by a large wheel, causes this • axle to revolve with great rapidity-90 revolutions being produced in each minute, arid four times us many . , revolutions of the screw. The chief peculiarity is the position of the axle and screw, the former of these being placed extremely low down, so as to enable the screw to work at a considerable depth in the fluid, an arrangement which materially aug ments the propelling power, and at the same time causes as little commotion as possible in the upper stra tum of the water. On Saturday, at half-post two o'clock, the trial soak plus. The boat, laden with a weighty cargo of passengers, quitted Portobello Har bour, and steamed her way bravely, at a speed varying from three to five miles an hour, as tar as the first lock. The journey back was made at a still greater speed, a rate of five miles per hour being maintained throughout , and Mr. O'Regan undertakes to secure an average speed of six miles an hour, or even more. When Fulton's grand experiment came off upon the Hudson River five m les an hour was an average rate of motion obtained, yet even that speed was then looked upon as a wonderful achievement. There is, therefore, every reason to be lieve that, as time advances, a progressive improvement will take place in the machinery now, through Mr. O'Regan's successful enterpriz?,. _ DC; space occupied by the engine is only 3 feet 4 by 2 feet 6, and the width of the boiler is about 3 feet. The engine consumes 8 cwt. of coal per day, and the entire cost of the propelling power, inclusive of fuel and the wages of the enginemen and firemt,n, is, according to Mr. O'Begao's eat mate, only 41, a mile—while the cost per mile, where the motive power is supplied by horses, is no less than Is. 9 1—Saunders' News Letter. PORTSMOUTH, T HURsDA.Y.—Cuptiia Henry Chads (son of Captain H. D.

The season, on Deeside, promises to be a very fa vourable one for sportsmen. In Braemar, the grouse are more abundant than was expected from the severity of the early part of the season. Oa the 12th, the party of Lord Elcho and the Uon. H. Coventry begged, on the Moss of Monaltrie and Muirs of Geirnsheil, belonging to Invercauld, 244/ brace of grouse, of which Lord Elcho shot 90/ brace. His Lordship's bag would have been larger, but he was obliged to give up shooting at an early hour, on account of his keeper having been Wien ill on the bill. In the Forest of Birse, Mr. Robert son, of Foveran, bagged, on the 12th, 54. brace and 2 hares; on the 13th, 52/ brace, 5 hares, and 1 wild duck; on the 14th; 27 brace and 2 bares; on 16th, 19/ brace and 4 hares; ou 170, 19/ brace and 2 hares. Mr. George Gordon, Nethermuir, killed, on the 12th, 35 brace and 7 hares; on 13th, IS brace; and up to the end of the week, 423- brace, be.iides hares. We bear that one of the party at Finz an had 45 brace on the first day, on the comrconty. Lord Elcho, the Hon. H. Coventry, Mr. Coventry, and Henry Dundav, E'q., continue to have excellent sport at Gairnsheil. Lurd Echo and the Hon. Mr. Covett7 have had, on an average, about 50 brace a day. At the Cairndavon shootings, where ate Captain Loylands and family, H. L. Lumley, Eaq., R. H. Lane, Esq., and Brock, Esq., there are great appearances of grouse and red deer, but there arc no accounts of the success of the party. At Lagganauld, Lord H. Bentinck killed 3 stags before the 12th, and Sir Richard Sutton had excellent spor', fishing. On the 12 h, Lord 11. I3entinck had 54 brace of grouse; Sir R. Sutton, 64 brace; and Mr. King, 53 bra-e. Average since then, 55 brace per day. At Morven Lodge, C. M. Christie, E:q , of Mule, and Captain N. Christie, have hal excellent sport. Grouse more plentiful than usual. The Glenmuick shootings, belonging to Invercauld, have been taken by F. R. Magennis, Esq., and H. D. Drum mond, Ecq. 'rho party arrived on Saturday last, and on Monday, being very rainy, nothing was done. At Glendye, Sir James Carnegie, Barr., killed 63 brace ou the 12th; Sir James G. Bard, 301 brace; and Captain Carnegie, 3.91- brace. Tee accounts of the success of spurting parties en the Deeside moors have hitherto gene ahead c f those noted from almost every other quarter; and there is, therefore, little doubt that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will enjoy excellent sport on the Balmoral and Abergeldie grounds when Le ar rives.— Aberdeen Journal. FALL OF THE BRICKLAYERS' ARII3 RAILWAY STATION. This unfortunate accident, although of a very serious nature, has not been productive of so much mischief as was at first anticipated, little or no damage being done except to the root itself, and three cf the pillars that supp rted it. The portiou of the station which has fallen co.npriscs two roof's, Pointed at the top and covering the permanent way t) a distance of 400 feet. The external covering of these roofs was of deal planks, slated over and resting upon beams formed of a bar of fir, bolted between two lamitte of iron. This kind of beam was used fir tho duuble purpose of insuring strength and elasticity, and to er able the boarding of the roof to be nailed firmly down. Tbe base of the cone formed by these beams was spanned by j&nte 1 tandem of iron, from which rose iron bars, affording support to the roof. The helms were placed along the roofs at intervals of about f tar feet, tied their ends rested upon cast-iron support) running along iron pillars, about twelve feet high and eight inches thick. This row of pillar; formed a central support, on which the two roofs rested, the other ends of the beams resting upon the supports of the sheds at each side of the staLion. The accident was caused by a carriage which was being moved round on the turn table striking against the last pillar of the central row. This instantly snapped, as also did two others, upon which a great weight was thus suddenly thrown, and a great portion of both roofs being thus unsupported, the whole fabric was torn away from the bolts by its own weight, and fell with a tremendous noise. Wh, n the fall occurred there was a long train of first and second-class carriages under the sheds, ar,d it has been stat ed by some of the morn ing journals that had these been filled with passergers the sacrifice of life must have been awful. It appears, however, that the iron-work of the roofs fell on these carriages and bent themselves over them, without break ing a single window or damaging any of them in the alighest degree. To this fact is owing the preservation of the three porters at work near the carriages. The unforunate man who was killed, on hearing the fall of the pithrs at the lower end of the shed, tete opted to es cape into the station, bet was knocked down by the fal ling materials, and suffocated by one of tto supports falling across his neck. Of the three man tak , n to Guy's Hospital only one (Watson) Was found to b) seriously injured, be having his leg broken. The ether two es cspd with some severe bruises,and were suffie ently well t) leave the hospital yesterday afternoon. The iron pillars along the centre, with the exception of the three which broke, are still standing, tied the cast-iron sup porters along their tons are still entire. An inquest will be hell on the deceased man to-ley (Friday). QU Alt AN TINE NOTICE, l'errno, Aug. 12.

CONSUMPTION OF WINE IN GREAT BRITAIN' AND IRELAND. : It appears.by cfficial returns, that the total quan tity of foreign wine consumed in the United Kingdom, in the year 1787, was 4,5'21,941 galltms. In the following year the consumption increased to 6,650 641 gallons, and continued to increase till 1795, when it had risen t 8,2'8,438 gallons. In 1791 the consumption suddenly declined to 3,569,261 gal lons, but rallied in the two succeeding years, until in 1830 it was 7,294,7 . .2. The consumption during the next quarter of a century, from 1600 to 1824, was steady at an average of 5,000,000 gallons, but in the following year a large increase took place, the quantity entered for home consumption in 1825 being 8,009,542 gallons. This increase, however, was not maintained, the consumption having fallen in the follow ing year to 6,058,44.! gallens. The consumption since 1627 to the present time seems to have remained very steady, at an average of 6,300,600 gallons per annum. In the year 1843 the consumption was lees than it has been since 182 - J, only 4,815,122 gallons having been cleared from the Custom house. The consumption during the last four years has been as follows:-1S46, 6,740,316 gallons; 1847, 6,053,8 4 7; IE4B, 6,136,547 ; and 149, 6 251,662 gallons. The imports generally exceed the consumption by about 1,125,000 gallons. In the years 1785 .and 1813 all the Custom Iloass records [calculated to throw light on the imports and consumption in those periods were accidentally destroyed by fire. During the last ten years there has been a total decrease in the amount of duty re ceived of 63,1981. The amount collected by the revenue as duty on forLigu wine averages 1,700,0001. per annum.
