On Saturde.v the arrangement for the union and amalga mation of the tw; companies formed for making a direct , railroad between Londonand Manchester was signed by an of the Direct London and John DiHMI Visq., the Chaim:. Manchester Illtilitayf and Co' Leicester Stanhope, the Chairman of the tilted Independeni London and Man chester Railway. The arrangement recites that the two companies shall be united into one when the Bill shall have passed. That the Direct London and 31anchester Railway shall alone apply to Parliament for the Act. That the two companies shall have ad pqual number of Directors. That the Chairman of the Direct Company , John ”illon, Esq., shall be the chairman of the 24 directors; and Andrew Caldecott, Esq., and the Hon. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, shall be the deputy chairmen. That the object of the agreement ard the parties to it shall be the making a direct line of railway from London to Man chester, as economically as possible, to carry goods and pas sengers at the cheapest possible remunerating tariff, with the greatest possible expedition consistently with safety ; and that the interests of the trade between London and Manches ter, and the promises made to the public by each Company, shall be the guiding principles of the Directors. That Messrs. Ashurst and Son, Messrs. Ludlow, Son, and Torr, and John Owens, Esq., shall be the solicitors. That J. U. Rastrick and George Remington, Esqs., shall be the joint engineers. BIRMINGHAM AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAYS. A considerable sensation was caused on Saturday in Liver pool by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham Railway- Company with that of the .Grand Junction, a measure which involves important and valuable consequences to the Proprietors, and will, it is expected, lead to results very advantageous to the public. On a calcu lation of the respective interests of the parties, it appeared, that while the London and Birmingham line yielded the full dividend of ten per cent., the Grand Junction was in a condition to pay twelve per cent., so that the equalisation of the two properties for equal dividends in future required that the Grand Junction shares should be " written up' . twenty pounds per share ; and it was, therefore, agreed that new shares of twenty pounds each should be created, free of cost, to be added to the original shares, and the whole formed into common stock, entitled to common divi dends from the Ist of October instant. It has been deter mined, also, we understand, that on the London and Bir mingham line the Company will now commence being their own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will at once be made in the charges for the conveyance both of goods and passengers, so as to render the calculations upon which any project of competing lines may be based extremely un promising. By arrangements in progress the consolidated Co mpany will proceed to establish what has long been considered a desideratum, a complete s% stem of trunk line from London to Glasgow (via the Carlisle and the Caledonian) ; and fronfLon don to Holyhead, and across Ireland ; and they have decided to mconrage in every way the formations into such trunk lines of Cie most direct lines subserving the trade of the country It is felt that these gigantic operations will " be a heavy. blow and great discouragement" to many of the projects re cently afloat, while they give stability to many schemes of undoubted utility.—Lirerpool Mercury. FLANDLIIS MAIL. BRUSSELS. OCT. 23.-Mr. Thomas Walhein Waller, Secretary to the British Legation, was presented on the 21st to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and delivered his credentials as Charge d'Affaires of her Britannic Majesty during the absence of his Excellency the Minister Plenipotentiary. The corn market, the day before yesterday, was not well supplied, yet there was a fell in the priceof wheat ;which was sold at 20f. 38c. per hectolitre ; on the other hand, there was a small rise in Rye, which told at 17f. The price of potatoes varied from 11 to 13 francs per 100 ki'ograrnmes Some sacks of superior quality sold at 15E, but 12f. 50c. may he taken as the average. M. Jules Lechevalier has arrived at Brussels from Paris, on his way to Holland and EaEland, where he will embark for America. The French Chambers have lately passed a vote of credit to commence in Guinea, the first operations of the plan for the emancipation of the slaves, which was proposed by M. Lechavalier. It is supdosed that his voyage to America as a private person is connected with this important operation. We have reason to be. lieve that he will make some stay here from an object cortn , nied with the relations between Belgium and France in to their manufactures.

COURT OF SEWERS, WESTMINSTER.—A Special Court of Sewers for the city of 'Westminster was held at the Courthouse, Greek-street, Soho, yesterday, for the purpose of deciding upon the particular plans henceforth to be used in the construction of sewers in the districts within the control of this board. Mr. Willoughby took the chair, and having called the attention of the Court to the grave importance of the subject which they had met to discus , , the various plans, ten in number, were laid on the table. Mr. Leslie moved a resolution—" That the egg form of a sewer with the narrow end downwards, be the form hereafter to be used in all the sewers to be constructed in the district of this court." It was impossible to show any form of sewer that would he preferable in all situations. He had tried the pro posed form of drain on his own property, and had succeeded completely. Under ordinary circumstances, he believed that the egg form was the most efficient, most durable, and most economical. He (Mr. Lesle) had submitted a lithograph of the egg shape of sewer to various eminent builders, who all approved of that form, as had also Major-General Pasley and Captain Dennison, Loyal Engineers. One of the great ob jections to the egg shape was the large quantity of mortar necessarily inserted in the joints, but that could be obviated by using radiated bricks at an extra expense of only 4d. per foot. The Hon. P. Byng seconded the motion, and in so doing reprobated the practice of appointing a perpetual chair man, as giving an improper influence to that person. Mr. Allason differed from the form proposed by the motion, and thought it would not be found to be applicable to all situa tions. Various other gentlemen addressed the Court pro and con., Mr. Mayhew, district survoyor, being of opinion that the form proposed was the very best that could be chosen. Mr. Cumberley quoted an opinion of one of the officers of the Court that the present sewers were little better than cess pools. The motion having been put, the numbers were de clared to be—For the motion, 16 ; against it, 5. Mr. Leslie next moved the adoption of the particular plans of Mr. John Phillips, on the ground of their great economy and facility, which was carried unanimously, and the meeting broke up at half-past four o'clock. SALES OF LANDED PROPERTY.—Within the last few days two estates in this neighbourhood, which only came into the market a short time ago, have been sold. Capenoch, the property of Sir Charles Kirkpatrick, Bart., of Cioseburn, has been purchased by Mr. Grierson, of Dalgonar, for 20,6001., about 32 years' purchase. Mr. Maxwell, the younger, of Cardoness, has bought Dalskairth, where he at present re sides, from Mr. Kennedy, of New York, for 13,0001.—Dum fries Courier. - CUSTOMS. — Mr. It. Z. Troughton, the principal inspector of the gauging department at the port of London, has, we understand, been dispatched to Scotland for the pur pose of making a special inspection and examination of the mode in which the gauging department is e. , .:iducted by the officers of the Customs revenue in that portion of the king dom, which, it is expected, in mA.7.ty instances, is but im perfectly understood by those parties, especially in the more remote parts and places alng the coast. DUNSTER CASTI:.—The great civil war, certainly one of the most l!icturesque, as it is one of the most stirring periods of Inglfsh history, affords materials to the novelist of a singniarly attractive character. This has, doubtless, in duced the author of the new historical romance, entitled "Punster Castle," a writer who has already obtained con siderable reputation in the pleasant field of fiction, to select an epoch so fruitful in romantic incidents. Dunster Castle was the scene of one of the most striking episodes in that ex traordinary drama, which had the whole realm of England for its stage, and the best men of England fur its actors. is, therefore, impossible to exaggerate the interest - reader must feel in such a subject, hands mannerwhich, according to report, of the Civil Wars one of the season. .. wnich the -ou in the skilful Lit render this remake a,ost entertaining hooks of the .MORWINSTO"' Morwinsto‘ he m^ ~ .— G UANo.—Mr. Baker, yeoman, 4 . , 041 ht present a field of cabbages, part of which ....torta \with farm-yard dung, and the other With ktianti, 'was procured from a rock heal. Maraland Mouth, on which sea-gulls haVe ra ages built their nests. A quantity of guano has ittelnnulated there, which enabled Mr. B. to try the following experiment on his cabbage plants when set. He devoted to every p'ant a pound of guano, which was spread around the root of the plant mixed with earth. In the adjoining part of his field be placed farm-yard dung at the ratio of fifty loads per acre; the cabbages manured with the latter weighed from 15Ibs. to 201b5 4 while those manured with the guano weighed from 281bs. to 301bs. He has thus saved 20 per cent. in carriage of manure, and realised 20 more in the produce from guano.— West Briton. COLLISION AT S EA.--On Tuesday evening last the Telemachus, coal schooner, laden, bound to Littlehamptom was run into off Newhaven by the John (also coal laden), bound to Guernsey, and cut down almost to the Wattell edge; but providentially, by the assistance of tarpauling and fine weather, she was kept afloat until she arrived in safety at Littlehatnpton.—Brighton Herald. We are informed that various parties have been applied to officially for statsrkents relative to the tittahtity remaining of last year' , ), .grain, and the probable returns of the present harvest their respective districts. These Appli cations most nnbably are with a view to some ulterior objects, faring upon the measures to be Adtlttd for miti gating the anticipated scarcity of rrovisions.—Aberdeen _Herald. DISTURDANCH ON 3OARD HER MAJESTY'S Bb* ALBION.— A few days since the crew of the AIWA were guilty of conduct which speaks ill for the chatatter of the British seamen of these latter days. It appears, that on the arrival of the Albion with the rest of the experimental ships at this port, on Friday seln night, part of the men had shore-leave given to them, and on Wed nesday another party applied for the indulgence. Ity that time, however, sailing orders had reached the ship, and, in actOrtlatire with the custom of the service, no leave could be granted. the commander, therefore, refused to give leave, and it annoyed the men very much ; their ire was aggravated by intoxication, and from grumbling and swearing they soon proceeded tb abts of inn tiny. Some of the worst of them comnienettl breaking their mess things, and throwing the tragments snout. anon we,. the lower deck, the linchpitia of the guns drawn and flung about, and other expedients were resorted to, to show their anger, and to create a disturbance. These proceedings having been reported to Commander Chambers, he immediately MU. tered the 'men, but a great many did not Vane on deck, and of them were put in irons. The men were suitably ad dressed on the impropriety of their conduct by Commander Cham bers, but when they were piped down again the disturbance was renewed with greater violence. The men were then mustered at divisions, but it was withont avail, for ne sooner were they dis missed than they recommenced their violence. The commander then proceeded to the lower deck, and while traversing it a linch. pin was thrown and struck the lantern carried by the 'quarter. master, the lights being out at the time, and insolent expressions were uttered under cover of the darkness. Hammocks were piped down, and no sooner were they down than piped up again, and this was repeated three times until the fellows were pretty well drilled into better behaviour. On the following morning it was discovered that a gun tackle and the breeching of two guns had . been cut. Captain Lorkyer. who had been ashore during the affair, assembled the crew and admonished them, and liberated all ' those in irons except seven, who, it is supposed, will get a sound flogging when the ship gets into blue water.—Western Cons,:r caller. SOIREE AT THE HUDDERSFIELD MECHANICS INSTITUTE.—The annual soiree of this Institution took place in the Philosopl ical Hall, Huddersfield, on Wednesday evening last. The chair was occupied by the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, M.P., who was surrounded on the platform by several of the most influential gentlemen of the town aid neighbourhood, including W. It. C. Stansileld, Esq., MP. for the borough. From the report which was laid before the mcetit.g, it appears that the affairs of the Insti tution arc in a very flourishing condition. OPENING OF THE PORTS.-THE FIRST MOVEMENT IN GLASGOW—On Wednesday the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council of Glasgow, unanimously resolved to memorialise her Majesty's Government to open the ports for the admission of grain duty free ; and a memorial to that effect has already, we beneve, been transmitted to Sir Robert Peel.—Scotch Reformer's Gazette. The Hudson testimonial subscription exceeds the sum of 17,5007. TAWRLL'S CONFESSION.—From the lengthened dis cussion which took place amongst the magistrates assembled at the Bucks Midsummer sessions at Aylesbury, in June last, it was fully expected that the Rev. Mr. Cox, the chaplain to the county prison, would have laid beibre the magistrates at the Michaelmas sessions, which have just been held, the confession made by John Tawell on the n!ght before his execution, a resolution having been carried, upon the motion of Dr. Lee, that the confession of the culprit be delivered up to the magistrates by the chaplain at the ensuing sessions. At the last sessions, held a few days since, upon Dr. Lee inquiring if the Rev. Mr. Cox had acceded to the wishes of the magistrates by laying before them Tawell's written confession, and being told that It was still refused, a resolution to the following effect was unanimously adopttd:—" That the confession of John Tawell be laid upon the table at the next Quarter sessins for the county, and that if this be not acceded to, the chaplain be called upon to deliver it up forth with." Dr. Lec observed that in his opinion the confession was the property of the magistrates, and that the Rev. Mr. Cox had no right t 9 W 41111114 it. The WIC rezolutiell WM Orried itlin9Ot TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Houghton Meeting at Newmarket § the last of any consequence in the year, commences this day with a full bill of fare, somewhat aboVe the average, and I confidently expect to see some first-rate spurt; the attendance will be large should the weather continue fine, and the number of horses there and en route, amounting in all to about six score, will make the Men ing as brilliant as any of its prealeceseers. The Cambridgeshire Stakes this year have nearly four score acceptances, and, as a matter of course, will bring a large field to the post—between twenty-five and thirty.-- which will be the following, via :—Jet, Queen Mab, Bishop of Romford's Cob, Gerry Owen, Trtteboy, SL Bernard, Due an Durres, Needful, Yardley, SetnitOria, Young Lochinvar, The Baron, Nottingham, Ironmaster, Rowena, Hope, Wolf-dog, Vaudeville', Ould Ireland, Wee Pet, Longitude, Physalis, 2Egis, The Dart, Croton Oil, Hartshorn, Mongrel, Jenny Wren, and _yerhaps Alarm. Now I consider nothing but Jet, Yardley, Seiuiseris, Nottingham, Ould Ireland, Wee Pet, CrOton Oil, Mongrel, and Jenny Wren, have the shadow of a chance. This last batch, beyond a doubt, tontailis the winner's name—the favout ites I fancy might as well stop in their stables for all the good they will do their respec tive masters. Jet or Wee Pet, -ehichever may be Lord Exeter's intended starter, will cut a very' good figure, doubtless getting placed. Senalserle, should she run kindly, ought to be very handy, and at the present ex treme outside odds, Well worth backing; Nottingham, with only 7st. 41b., will beat more than beat him; Jenny Wren, with sst. 61b., ought, and perhaps will will, tier chance is one of the very best, and must hot be despised. Ould Ireland, if he goes, will show off to better advan tage than he did at his last appearance in public. Should Lord G. Bentinek make Crotcn Oil his horse, with fist. 61b., if it has any running in it, it ought and will be either first or second. Mongrel, a very fine welt-Made animal, with Est. 21bs. on his bade, jhst euited to the course, will be found a difficult ouetomer to stall off, and, from his previous running and present appearance, will be at the least placed. To sum up, I shall expect to see the winner spring from the following fours—Wee Pet, Mongrel, Semiseria, and Croton Oil, The 300 Soya. Stakes will go to Lord alaS g ow. The match between Captain Phebas and the Miss Whip colt, to the former. The match between Oakley and Miss Elis, to the latter, 'rho match between Refraction and Prologue, to the former. On Tuesday the Criterion Stakes of 30 soya, each, .20 ft., will bring out about twelve, say the following:—Princess Alice, Ark wright, Science, Mecca colt, Sting, Retriever colt, Polka, Pet colt, Joy, Cuckoo, Malt, and Stockport filly ; Sting having to carry 7lbs. extra, and Princess Alice, Arkwright, Polka, Joy, Cuckoo, and Malt each 2lbs, extra. I shall not attempt to analyse the field, that having been done before, but jump at once to the conclu sion, placing the redoubtable Sting first, Joy second, Arkwright third, Princess Alice fourth, and Cuckoo fifth. The match between flotilla and Black Cat will be won by the former; and the match between Anna Bullen and Blanchie, by the latter. On Wednesday Prologue, Bst. Vbs., will beat The A tered One, Bst 51bs. 1 0n Thursday Radulphus, Borghese, Arkwright, Igtf.s-fatuus, Prospect, and Oxberry, will show for the Glasgow Stakes, which will most assuredly be won by Arkwright. The match between Garry Owen ani Secundus Will be won by the former. On Friday the colt by Dulcimer rfn e i ves f or f e it f rom Le Chourineur; and the mati! l , - , uetween the Retriever colt and Collin g wood will he Oa Saturday. ~on by the latter. ay way of a finish, ()Alex will reetite fcrfeit fr - , ••• Nix- my-Dolly, J. shall, in the course or a week or two, give my readers a review of the doings of the two year olds this year ' that are in the Derby or Oaks of 1840 , and likewise th e condition and capabilities of many dark animals. The three principal two year-olds that I have recommended at various times to the attention of my readers, this year have proved themselves well worthy of support, for where will you find batter anitiqs than Princess Alice, Arkwright, and Sting? The last prophesied Would skin the New Stakes, Levant, Molecombe, Clearwell, and Criterion Stakes ; he won three out of the five easily, run second in one through bad riding, and the other Stake is at present undecided,- 7 4 am, Sir., yours; TiiE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

FIRE AT BARROW.—On Sunday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a barlaystack belonging to Mr. John Place, of Barrow Hill Farm, standing in the fields, with a pe astack only near it, was discovered to be on fire. The Suffolk. and Norfolk engir es being fetched from Bury, with the active assistaace of all present, extinguished the flames, and the peastack was preserved, though within fifteen feet of the Other, but the barley, the produce of about seven acres, was nearly all consumed. Major Griffith attended in the course of the day to inquire into the origin of the fire.— Suffolk `chronicle. EXTREM ELY HIGH TIDE.—The tide of Tuesday morning, at Ipswich, was one of the highest known in the river Orwell. It rose with much impetuosity, and reached an altitude of 19 feet 7 inches, being 2 feet 6 inches higher than its usual height, and 6 inches snore than the great tide of January last. The tide of Tuesday broke through the bank upon the marshes, the lower bank at the end of the wet dock, and through several other embankments down the river. We understand that a vessel, name unknown, is high and dry at Pin 'Mill, so high, indeed, as it is feared no ordinary flow will reach her. A few sheep have perished and a bullock.—Suffolk Chronicle. PoraToEs.—Samples not affected by the general disease are with difficulty to be procured, but those of really good descriptions fetch high prices.

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET. :From the Circular of Wills and Co., Stock and ghattbrtdtersj Liverpool.) An agreement has just been concluded between the Direc tors of the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction Companies, whereby every 1001. paid up capital of the Grand Junction and Liverpool and Manchester Companies is to be Considered. as 1201. , paid up capital in the amalgamated Grand Junction and London and Birmingham Companies. The Grand Junction Company has able the privilege of creating new quarter shares, which are to par ticipate in the above arrangement. The effect of this an nouticement on our Stock Exchange was to raise the shares in the Grand Junetion Company from 2401. to 260!., and in the Livekpool and MentheSki' Campy iny froth 212/, to 2201., and to depress, rather than increase, the value of tile gliares in the London and Birmingham Company. It remains to be seen whether the London and Birmingham Proprietors will sanction an arrangement which has manifestly had the effect or apfaiMilig fh9 market value of their property. Such a union of interests we have always strentionely advo cated, and trust that it will be satisfactorily carried out, in a fair and houourable way. Under all circumstances it will prove a serious blow to most of the new schemes, projected for the purpose of supplying direct communication between LOndon and .Liverpool, The Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhamptnit Shares, which Weld Pretiously greatly reduced in value owing partly to the call of 101. per share, haVe been still further affected by this combination of these powerful companies, and those shares which three weeks since were quoted at 201. are barely saleable to-day at 9/. The immense amount of business which has been doing tai the ligt feW Months Di the shares of embryo railway companies, has at length, as might hate been expected, in volved in considerable difficulties the great body of specu lators. The reaction came at last mere suddenly, and more violently, than was anticipated even by the most cautious, and indeed there does not appear to be any really adequate cants for the present extraordinatTpanic. - The corn harvest has been generally tecured in fair con dition,—the injury said to be sustained by the potato crop is, we have every reason to believe, greatly exaggerated,—the commerce of the country is in a most flourishing condition — find ate fit peace with all the world: with so many ele ments of prosperity abounding, the iftiprnvement of the solid resources of the nation, notwithstanding these temporary cheeks to its progress, must go on with accelerated impulse. There is, theKibre; no just cause of permanent alarm. The evils which have arisen from Intirdinate speculation in rail way shares will speedily effect their own reniefket and the business of the Stock-Exchange be placed henceforth on a more secure basis than ever. The frightful mates Which have been incurred during the last fortinght, will prove a useful lesson to all ; and the elle& which has been given to mere bubble projects, will etentuallY benefit not only the Old companies, but those also which have already obtained their Acts, together with such legitimate schemes of railway extension, as are really called for by the necessities of the public. Wir. art persnade,cl that the panic has nearly exhausted itself, and that it will grass tiWny entirely, without inflicting any irremediable injury oh the coinitintilty at large. td the hetiefits tb be conferred upon the country by the gradual formation of railwriya, there can be but one opinion; and five repeat what we have so frequently asserted, that tHertt will be nalark of means for the construction of such lines as shall be sanctioned liegiOatttre: Our own decided conviction is that the pres Ont is the time to buy, and not to sal—and we have always aditistd our fristnda to buy during a panic, and—unless purchases are made ptirely for iftvestriient-7when prices are rapidly ad tB rtalfse; without veaititbs for the highest point.

A CONSTANT READER. THE MAILS.— SOUTHAMPTON, OCTOBER 26.—The Oriental Company's steam-packet the Pacha, Captain Burney, arrived in docks yesterday at 4 o'clock P.M., and landed the Gibraltar, Peninsular, and other mails, but which were net for warded to London until the 2 a.m. train this morning, while had the mails been sent up by a special train they would have been enabled to have leR London for the north, &c., by the last night mails from London. The Pacha left Gibraltar the 17th instant; _ _ _ Cadiz, 18th; Lisbon, 20th; Oporto, 21st; Vigo, 22d; Corunna, 22d. She has 26 passengers, a full cargo of fruit, and five oxen. The Royal Tar, Captain Evans, will leave this port to-morrow for Gibraltar, &c., with the Peninsular and other mails. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning an acci dent occurred on the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, which has unfortunately been attended with the loss of life. It appears that between twelve and one o'clock in the morning a train of ballast waggons, propelled by a locomotive engine, was employed in re moving loose earth from one part of the line to the other, and when the engineer had proceeded nearly to Sydenham he felt a sud den shock as if the engine had run over something. As soon as he had deposited his loads of ballast he returned to the spot to ascertain the cause, and then discovered the body of a man lying across the rails in such a position, that if he had not observed him in time and reversed the engine the wheels must inevi- engineer placed tably have gone over his head. The poor fello w was in a pgrool quite s i e o l leo f t r i o b m i e. h i N s v b t h a c k t h e an ee d e right l o e f g . the shocking mutilated state, and covered with blood, which flowed y H sto e ke w r u the al placed him upon the engine, and conveyed him without loss of time to the terminus at London-bridge, and from thence to Guy's Hospital. Mr. Hood, the house surgeon, was promptly in attend- Matt, and, upon examination, it was found that his right leg and foot were Completely smashed, and that his back had been severely lacerated by the buffer of the engine, and he died in about an hour after his admission to the hospital. His name is at present unknown. He was dressed in the garb of a labourer, and apparently about 38 yearg of age. His face was rather disfigured by his nose having been previously broken, and he wore a green shade over his left eye. It is not known how he came upon the railway, but it is supposed he had either strayed, or had trespassed to make a short cut to Sydenham, and that hearing the approach of an engine he bad got on to the atmospheric line cf rail, thinking that no train ran thereon at night, and that he would be safe. His precautiow, however, was the means of his death. This was the second time= only that the ballast-train had run on that line at night. THE MARYLEBONB VESTRY AND THE REGENT'S CANAL.—At a meeting of the Marylebone vestry on Friday, a letter was read which had been received from the secretary to the new railway company formed for the purpose of converting the Regent's Canal into a railway, requesting from the vestry permis. sion to inspect the books of the parish, in order that the railway company might obtain such information as would be necessary to tillable them to comply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament , Several members of the vestry spoke in very indig nant terms against the request contained in this letter. Every member of the vestry could have free access to the books if it were required, but they did not understand why any such information iliOnit4 be given to mere strangers. A motion was then made that the request should be refused, which was carried unani mously. DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER RAILWAY (WITH EXTENSION lIEREAFTER TO FALROUTE),--The above meeting pro posed to be held at Andover, this day, has been unavoidably post poned for a few days. VISIT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO BRIGH TON AND NEIVIIATEN.—The Duke of Wellington arrived in Brighton on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, by tile railway train which leaves London at two. His Grace immediately proceeded to the Bristol Hotel, where he dined and slept, and the following morning left at nine o'clock for Newhaven. His Grace rode in a Eatiiase, ss. .trxrun few the purpose of in erecting portions of the coest between this town and Newhaven, which was the purpose of his visit. After having taken cogni sance of Newhaven, and its capabilities of being made to afford protection for armed steamers, the Duke returned at half-past twelve, and remained there until half-past two. He then went out on horseback, attended by a domestic ; rode down the Marine. parade, along the Steyne and Grand Parade to the north, and it was generally expected that his grace would proceed to the Cavalry Barracks. However he did not, but returned to his hotel, and remained there last night. Preparations were made at the Battery In expec tation that his grace would inpect it yesterday; but it is under. stood that his visit is reserved for this morning. His grace will leave Brighton this afternoon by the railway train which leaves at a quarter before two, and will proceed to Dover. These visits of his gra& to the southern coast are, to say the least of them, very significant, and public attention is now fully aroused to the nature of our position in case a war should break out, which —depending , as matters in Franca do, upon the frail tenure of an old man's life— nsay:be nearer than am, of us expect. —Brighton Herald of Saturday INQUEST ON TEM BODY OF THE LATE MR. 80-i- , TELER AT OULSTON, NEAR TIIR WOODLESFORD STATION.-^-The death of Mr. Boteler, which occurred on Thursday morning at half past eight o'clock, threw a g loom over the populous neigh bourhoods of Doncaster, Leeds, and other towns in which the learned gentleman had a large circle of friends. Imme diately on the fatal event taking place an express was sent to Mr. Bill, the secretary of the Midland Railway, who lost no time in apprising General Palley of the melancholy fact. Thomas Wheatley, the engine-driver at the time of the fatal ac cident, who had on Wednesday last appeared before the magis. trates at Sheffield to answer the charge of negligence, but dis charged on bail, was ferthwith brought from Leeds by a special train to Derby, and underwent a long examination in the board. room in the presence of some of the Directors. Notice was ins mediately given to the Coroner, who directed the inquest to be held on Friday afternoon. Sir Isaac Morley and James Murga troyd, Esq., two of the directors of the company, accompai ied by their solicitor, witnesses, &c., proceeded to Woodlesford by special train to attend at the inquest. Upon the jury being impanneled, :sere Morley said the Company courted public inquiry, and he Sir •' --- -e-every servant who could throw the least light on the had instructes.

Sir Isaac Morley replied that the railway Company were only anxious to afford the utmost facilities, fur which purpos e ever y witness, and even the profes sional gentlemen, should be sent down free of expense. The re mains of the unfortunate gentleman will be removed to the family vault, in Kent, for interme nt. The funeral, we are informed,oints wll be at the expense of the r ailwa y Company, who will, en all p (insult the Wishes of the family, _ _ DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. About eight o'clock on Saturday evening a barn in the raiii;yatd of Mr. Smith, an extensive farmer at Northfleet green, in the patish of Northfleet, near Gravesend, was dis covered to be on fire, and messengers were at once dispatched to Gravesend and Dartford for the engines. Before they arrived, however, the wheat-stacks and range of out-offices ire the yard caught fire, and upon the arrival of the Gravesend engines the whole of premises were inflames. The Dart • ford engines soon after arrived, and a good supply of water being at hand, thew played with a sufficiency of success to save the dwelling-house: but the barns, stables, and other Mite:Aces, together with four levee stacks of wheat, and a quantity of wheat, partly thrashed and partly unthrashed e which had been in the barn in which the fire originated, were totally consumed. The horses and pigs were for tunately driven out of their respective houses of shelter before the fire communicated to them. Mr. Smith was in Gravesend when the alarm of fire apparmatly in the direction of his house was given ; bat until he approached its vicinity he was not aware of the calamity that awaited his return home. All that it was possible to do to preserve the dwelling-house was accom plished by the enginemen, assisted by the people of the neighbourhood ; but the fire raged in the farmyard with la fury altogether irrepressible by any effort of those parties, or by any supply of water, however copiously discharged upon it by the engines. The destruction of and damage to property is estimated at 2,000/. The buildings are fully insured, as is also the stock, the former by the proprietor, Mr- Brenchley, of Woomble-hall, Northfleet, to whom the pre mises on the farm held by Mr. Mace, and which were burnt down this time twelvemonth, also belonged, and the farm stock by Mr. Smith, the tenant. About seven minutes past five o'clock yesterday morning a flame was observed by a policeman at the station-house, Gravesend, to burst through a first floor window of the Black Horse Tavern, nearly opposite the Town-hall, in High-street ; an alarm being immediately given, the inmates of the house rushed from their respective bed-rooms, some down stairs, and seine into the large parlour on the first floor. From the front room in the lower part of the house Mrs. King, the landlady, and her daughter were compelled to retreat, and leave the money and papers which it was their object to pre , - serve, and endeavour to save their lives through one of the first floor windows, many of the inmates having already effected their escape in that way. When they got into the large room alluded to, fifteen or sixteen of the lodgers, the house being full, as it was the fair time, were endeavouring to get out of the two windows, and Mrs. King leaped out or one, followed by Miss King and a man named Aldridge. At this time the flames also burst through the windows, and the whole house, in an inconceivable short time, was one mass of flame. By this time the Gravesend engines, which had been at the fire at Northfleet-green, arrived on the spot, but no water could be procured for nearly twenty minutes, an interval which was occupied in communicating with the superintendent of the waterworks, and during which the fire extended to the houses on either side of the Black Horse. The Dartford and Rochester engines arrived from Northfleet green, where they had been detained in a successful attempt to save Mr. Smith's house, but even when they arrived the water had not been laid on. However, there was soon a copious supply, and the efforts of the firemen were directed to the prevention of the spread of the fire to the houses adjoining the Black Horse on either side; but all their efforts were fruitless to prevent the communication of the fire to the houses in the rear of the Black Horse, as well as to those in the alley lead ing from High-street to Princes-street, and to the three houses at each side of the Black Horse and fronting High street. The whole of these were one mass of flame, which, despite the great quantity of water at this time dis charged upon it by the fire-engines, was not abated until it had no more fuel to feed upon. About eight o'clock the Black Horse Tavern and its extensive stabling and other appurtenances, together with the house of Mr. Tollis s butcher • Mr. Smith, grocer ; Mr. Hollingdale, draper ; Mr.. Harris, bootmaker ; and Mr. Hall, China warehousekeeper, were totally destroyed. To the rear of those fronting Princes-street, a slaughter•house of Mr. Tollis's and four cot tages belonging to Mr. Hall were also destroyed. The Ca therine Wheel Tavern, next to Mr. Smith's house, the party wall of which resisted the extension of the fire to the tavern, was much damaged, as were the houses immediately above Mr. Hollingdales. At the time the fire broke out there were, as Mrs. King states, 26 persons, including lodgers, is the house. One of them, a man belonging to Mr. Wombwell's show-booth at the fair, is missing, and supposed to have been consumed; but at the time of our reporter leaving last even ing no search for his remains, if he be destroyed, had been in stituted in the ruins. In leaping from the window Mrs. King suffered a severe injury, having three of her ribs broken. Mr. Aldridge was still more severely if not fatally injured in the back. Miss King was also badly hurt. Mr. King, the landlord of the Black Horse, was not at home. He is but partially insured, and his loss, it is said, is little less that ruinous to him. Neither Mn Hall nor Mr. Hollingdale is insured in respect either •to stork or houses. Mr. Tollis's house was folly insured, but his furniture was not, and he barely saved his account boolcs, In Mr. King's desk was, as our reporter learned, over 1001. in gold and notes ; the latter consumed, and the former amid the ruins, as are the remains, as is sup posed, of at least the showman of Mr. IVombell. Mrs. King does not appear to be quite sure of the number of lodgers that night in the. house, as many came in from the fair at various hours of the night up to three o'clock. How the fire origi nated is doubtful, but there are strong reasons for believing that it was in the smoking-room. The policeman states that when he first discovered it the flame was issuing from a win dow on the first floor. The loss is variously estimated, but it would appear to be about 10,000/. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 25. RE SCALES, AN INSOLVENT. In this case the insolvent, the well-known ex-Alderman Scales, came up in custody on his interim order. His sche dule set forth his debts to be 1,810/.75. 4d., whilst his credits were stated to amount to 6,4711.55. The insolvent was sup ported by Mr. King, and opposed by Mr. Vines, of Reading, on behalf of the detaining creditor, the Hon. Shaw Lefevre, the Speaker of the House of Commons, whose claim was for law costs in some Chancery suit. The insolvent stated that his debtti only amounted to 20/. ; 1001. was also placed in his schedule L's due to his bankers, and. 1001. to his solicitor; to whom, howenr, he did not owe more than 401. He further owed 301. for taxes, and, as he had before said, 201. for debts, which he called debts, because they contributed to his personal comforts. Sir. Vines prayed for an adjournment, on the ground that Mr. Lefevre, who was at Heckfield, in Hampshire, had only received the required notice on the previous day. Mr. King said he had left a notice at the Speaker's house, in Eaton-square, on Thursday, and also on that day had sent ;:bny of it by post to Mr. Lefevre, and to the agents of his solicitor in town. The CoI):TISSIONER observed, that it was absurd for Mr. Scales to say t.: at his debts only amounted to 201., when he had stated them in his schedule to be 1,8101. Mr. Scales-1,200/ a that sum is secured on freehold pro perty, which the creditors may sell. The remaining 6001. was put in my schedule against my conviction by my soli citor, as he said I was bound to enter the names. The in solvent added, that if his estate did not pay 20s. in the pound, he had an annuity of 1201. per annum, a part of which he would set aside for the payment of his debts and liabilities. The Speaker of the House of Commons, as he was called, his only detaining creditor, had persecuted him from day to day. After some discussion between his Honour and the soli citors, an adjournment until the 10th November was agreed to, on the ground of Mr. Lefevre's not having received suf- ticient notice. Mr. Commissioner GOITLIIMIN" recommended that the insolvent should be at once dischargfid from custody, as he thought there could be no apprehension if his absconding. Mr. Vines, who appeared very unwilling to adopt the sug gestion, ultimately gave - c7sy to the feeling of the Court, and the insolvent was immediately liberated.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Alderman Wilson attended on Saturday to hear g counter statement to a complaint made before him last week, by Messrs. Lewis and Lowe, newspaper adver tiscment ag ents, relative to the vexatiou s d e t ention for a week of a cheque for 2001., drawn in favour - of Messrs. Lewis, and as to Mr. Lewis being refused per mission to see the directors when he applied fcr the balance of his account. Mr. Hill, the deputy-chairman c a oi y ftot C rh, o ew m asa p p a p n olui y i , ocs said itd t i soOnaxt Tuesday, e o ui r le d tsi , b i d e u 3 b ' t , eae a sn n h d ic a ht m eh er ll ierp a so i o l r i lt s; on r. Miller, of town, he refrained from moving until he returned. He bad given Mr. Lewis notice of his intention to appear this , day, and he had strong ground to complain that Mr. Lewis had made a statement calculated to prejudice Mr. Miller, without notice. When the account for advertising was brought to him by the solicitor, he asked if he intended to present it at the next board, and if the bill was correct. The solicitor replied it was not. The charges were exorbitant, . and he heard that Messrs. Lewis and Lowe bad charged other parties 50 and 100 per cent. beyond the amount actually paid to the newspapers; and in this case there were charges from 15 to 25 per cent. beyond the proper amount. This was ascertained by applying to some of the country papers. Mr. Hill, upon this, required that the account should be ex amined with the vouchers, and, up to this time, Mr. Lewis had declined to produce the vouchers. Sir James Duke, the Chairman of the Company, said the agents had at all events expended a considerable sum, and he proposed that a cheque should be drawn for 2001., the amount of the bill being 6271. Mr. Lewis had notice of this, but neglected to call for a week. Mr. Lewis had stated the cheque was obtained by Mr. Miller, butt ( lts r w . H as ill), untrue. It remained in the possession of the appli cantand it was Mr. Lewis's own fault that he did not have it. The Company was ready to pay what was justly due, but it was the duty of the directors to see that the money of the shareholders was not improperly expended. With respect to what passed at the last meeting, when a policeman was sent for to remove Mr. Lewis, nothing could be more quiet and circumspect than the behaviour of Mr. Miller towards Mr. Lewis, and there was nothing to justify a complaint to a magistrate. Mr. Alderman WILSON had no doubt the newspapers that noticed the matter before would do so again. The fairness of the charges must be discussed in a civil court. Messrs. Lowe and Lewis came in just as Mr. Hill had finished his statement, and Mr. Lewis stated, in explanation, that Mr. Hill was mistaken as to tickets being givenfor sums paid for each advertisement. No such vouchers could be produced. The newspapers had a scale for charging such advertisements, which might be seen at his office, and the truth of which might be tested by inquiry at the .offices of the respective newspapers. His bill was a fair one, and he should enforce payment of it. The parties then withdrew. THE L ORD MAYOR AND THE PARISH OF ST.
