THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENIN ( Jr, OCTOBER 7 . 1846 VISITATION AT ARMAGH. CHARGE OF THE LORD PRIMATE. On 'Thursday Archbishop Beresford held a visitation of his diocese in the cathedral of Armagh, and at the conclusion of Divine service delivered the following charge : " The Established Church in this country; as you are well aware, my reverend brethren, is exposed, at the present period, to the combined attacks of opponents, who, however, they may differ from each other in religion; and in the ul terior objects which they have in view, are agreed together in exerting their utmost efforts to accomplish its overthrow. On the part of its friends, therefore, there is need of the greatest energy and unanimity in its defence. When the British Government, at the close of the last century, wi? h a view to the strengthening of the empire, by means of its con salidation, proposed and brought about, not without reluct ance on the part of Ireland, the union of the two kingdoms, it was urged—as a prevailing plea to induce the Irish Church to surrender its independence and to place the guardianship of its interests in the hands of a Legislature to be chiefly composed of Englishmen—that the certain result of uniting it into one church with that of England, would be to add to its stability, and secure its permanence. It was felt that the strongest link by which the connexion of the two countries could be maintained, was that of the common faith which binds the Protestants of Ireland to their English brethren. The union of the churches, accordingly, cemented the union of the kingdoms. Hence it is that the democratic party, who now aim at effecting a severance of the two countries, labour most strenuously for the subver sion of the Church Establishment, and call upon their ad herents to regard it as their 'first duty ' to exert themselves to obtain its total abolition.' Such is their bold avowal, although, when the first steps were taken to remove their civil disabilities, they were forward to declare, in their public documents, that they acquiesced, with satisfaction, in the establishment of the national church, neither repining at its possessions nor envying its dignities.' And, on their actual admission to legislative power, they still disclaim, disavow, and solemnly abjure any intention to subvert the present Church Establishment, as settled by law, within this realm.' Whether the severe enactments of the penal code, with which we are upbraided, are to be justified or not by the daring attempts made to destroy both the Protestant religion and the Protestant Government, it is not now the time to inquire. Those enactments are no longer in force. I lament the necessity of such measures, if the necessity, on the part of the civil Government, existed. And it is matter of the deepest regret to me, as it is to every churchman, if the severity of them originated in whole or in part in an exclu sive spirit, as contrary to the mild precepts of Christianity as to the general character of British legislation. But the ques tion between us and our opponents, when fairly stated, is not whether the united church shall be maintained, to the op pression of all other bodies of Christians. Toleration the most ample—protection the most complete—is accorded to the professors of every creed. The question regards not the dimi nution of the income of the church, or any salutary improve ments in its discipline. Large pecuniary sacrifices have been cheerfully made in order to effect a change in the mode of collecting its revenues, whereby the payment is rendered more easy to the people, and irritation of feelings and collision are avoided ; and useful reforms of whatever kind, where not already effected, are courted instead of being repudiated by its ecclesiastical governors. The true question is now reduced to this, whether the Established Church shall continue to enjoy the pie-eminence to which she has been raised by the purity of her doctrine, the mode ration of her principles, and the hold she still retains over the affections of the enlightened part of the community; or whether she shall no longer exhibit a correct standard of religious faith, under the fostering protection of the Govern ment, amidst a population in the greatest need of her spiritual direction; and whether, as a consequence, her endowment, given her for this very purpose, shall be taken away from her? In the assault which is made upon the Irish branch of the Church, the Roman Catholics are now aided by the Dis senters of England, who employ denunciations as vehement with regard to our Establishment as ever proceeded from the lips of the political agitators of this country. A formal an nouncement, indeed, has been made by them, that they are 'ready to contend by the side' of the Roman Catholics in the war against the Church in Ireland; and they have ' pledged themselves never to remit their efforts' to overturn it. The ultimate object of the Dissenters, which they have set before themselves as worthy of every exertion in their power, is to put an end to the connexion of Church and State in Great Britain, and to substitute the voluntary system in place of the national endowment of religion. On the attempt to achieve this object, they seem determined to concentrate all their strength. And in comparison with it, their foimer controversies respecting episcopacy, and our liturgy, and doctrines, and discipline, are regarded as minor points. It is because they think a way will be thus open to them for making a more successful attack on the Established Church in England that they now lead their aid in the movement against the weaker branch of that Church in this country. They appear to care but little to inquire what would be the consequences to Protestantism in Ireland were it left to the voluntary system alone, andwere the shel tering influence of our Church Establishment withdrawn. They ask not what prospect there would be of supplying, by means of that 'system, the ministrations of religion to the thousands of poor families in remote districts, who would be unable to defray for themselves the expense of a settled minis try, and whose religion, when deprived of such ministrations, would gradually melt away, until it was lost in the supersti tion and ignorance that surrounded it. All such considera- tions the Dissenters of England seem to have put aside in their zeal to make a practicable breach in the establishment of religion in the empire. And so they make common cause with the Romanists in the assault upon the Protestant Establishment in Ireland. With the Roman Catholics and the Dissenters are also found united in attacking the Irish Church the revolutionary party, of whatever religion, or of none, who seek its subversion from a love of change and dislike of the ancient institutions of the country. And, supported by such a combination of parties, all of them resolute in their hostility, a distinct proposal for the demo lition of the Irish Church is annually submitted to the con sideration of Parliament. Connected with these hostile attacks, and by way of furnishing some foundation for them, misrepresentations the most gross have been put forth re specting the condition of our Church ; and, unhappily, there exists in England such a degree of unacquaintedness with its affairs that these misrepresentations readily pass current. The public ear has been so accustomed to hear assertions made regarding our Establishment, which are either wholly , false or greatly exaggerated, that from their constant reite ration they are supposed to be true. And perhaps sufficient pains have not been taken on our part to remove the misap prehension to which they have given rise. I will allude to some of them. And first, I would refer to the revenues of the Church, which are still spoken of as being enormous.' The ' immense riches,' the ' lavish endowment,' of the Irish Church, occupy a prominent place in every speech and pamphlet on this subject. Even in the last of these publica tione that I have seen, the attempt is made to lead the Bri- ,arhgtleinbtyh was p t a ci r part l o ec f au t I h tt e ii t.th_ p ae r t o ow d r s t a t c s o e ffo o r f tmi t i . tish public to believe, that tithe — meaning thereby, as it is e e h r e s l y o l a i l pa d y, t , l h ie en cl m e i t 8 1 i specificallyosut g il h paid s d, e nt a s serted, it was not a tenth, but a thirtieth part that was received by them. And, since that which was denominated tithe has been commuted into a rent- charge ' paid by the landlord, it has been diminished by one fourth ; and it is, in reality, but a fortieth that is paid to the clergy of the Established Church. In other words, they receive a fourth •part of the tithe. And were the income derived from this source, and from minister's money, to be divided equally amongst the beneficed clergy, it would yield them (after paying the salaries of their assist ant curates), about 230/. a-year each. Were it equally shared amongst all the clergy, incumbents and curates, it would not give to each of them. an income of 1701. a-year. If the value of the glebe lands also be taken into account, the whole property of the parochial clergy, were it divided in equal shares amongst them all, would not produce for each of them 200/. a-year. To call this endowment lavish'— to denominate this income ' enormous wealth' and immense riches,' is absurd and ridiculous. The fact which I have stated needs only to be known to make apparent the exag geration of those figures of speech which have been employed on this subject. The phantom of the Church's wealth, which seems to haunt perpetually . and to disturb the quiet of so many of its reformers, requires only to have the light of truth let in upon it, and it instantly disappears. It may be thought, indeed, by some, that a more nearly equal distribution of the property of the Church would be desirable. But this, it will be observed, is quite a different question from that of the aggregate reve nues of the whole body being an exhaustless mine of riches. And it will be perceived, from what I have men tioned, that those persons who are forward to express com miseration for the ill-paid curates of the Established Church, and who speak feelingly of the plain justice it would be to provide each of that laborious class of ministers with an in come of at least 2001. a year, would certainly not find means to carry this generous design into effect by any process of arithmetic that could be applied to the property of the in cumbents except by . making the two parties change places in the scale of their incomes. I am, indeed, fully persuaded that to introduce perfect equality in the incomes of the clergy would be far from advantageous to the interests of the Church ; but I would, at the same time, observe, that, so far as a sound objection lies against a too great disparity, means have been in effective operation for some years past which will re move that objection I !allude to the dissolution of unions of parishes, and the subdivision of those which are of too large extent, and the augmentation of the incomes of the small benefices. It may not, perhaps, be generally known that, since the passing of the Church Temporalities Act, in 1833, upwards of 4,0001. a year have been applied to aug ment poorly endowed parishes. The rumours put into cir culation as to the revenues of the bishops have been even more exaggerated than those in reference to the incomes of the parochial clergy. But when the facts are fairly inquired into, instead of the prelates having, as a body, eagerly grasped at gain, and sought to aggrandize themselves out of the property belonging to them, it will be found that their long settled practice has been to claim and to receive, in ad dition to the small head-rent of the estates assigned to them, a renewal fine of only one-fifth of the value, after deducting that rent ; the remaining four-fifths being enjoyed by the, numerous and respectable class of landowners, to whom they have been leased for many generations. Is there any other property in the kingdom, I would ask, out of which so small a benefit is claimed by its proprietors? And when it is con sidered that the prelates form a portion of the peerage of the country, one of the highest estates of the realm—a privilege of their order as ancient as the House of Peers itself, and handed down to the bishops of the Irish Church by a suc 'cession which has suffered no interruption—a succession reaching further back than does the title of any temporal peer in Ireland; and when the income assigned them out of their properties is compared with that of even the poorest of the noble order of which, from time immemorial, they form a part, it will not appear to be excessive in its amount." His Grace then proceeded to point out the difference be tween the cathedral establishments in Eugland and Ireland, and Aimed that in point of fact there was no similarity be tween the two; that in this country there were no such "stately and venerable piles," no full choral services; and as to dignitaries and prebendaries, they were, with few excep tions, mere parochial clergymen having other duties to per form. With regard to the union of parishes, too, there was much misconception. Some of what are called parishes in Ireland are merely the sites of old religious houses, the names of which they continue to bear; and to complain of their being united together, would be to complain that there union of streets in a town under one pastor; or a union of fields in a rural district under a single minister. " It is worthy of being borne in mind (continued his Grace) by those whose inclination leads them to attack the Church, and by those, also, who sincerely desire its improvement, that a Royal Commission was appointed 15 years ago to ihquire into the unions of parishes, and to report on the fit ness and practicability of dissolving them. A majority of the commissioners were laymen of high character and intelligence. The result of their inquiries (which pro ceeded only as far as the province of Armagh) was, that in regard to the unions in that po rtion of Ireland, 110 in number, there were 48 which it would be either impracticable or inadvisable to sever. Such a statement, proceeding from such a quarter, ought to lead people to pause before they con demn in a sweeping and indiscriminate manner the existence of every union whatever of parishes. But I would also add, that so far as it is desirable that a dissolution of these unions should take place, an oppertwiity is provided for severing them as vacancies occur; and within the last eleven years fifty-three have been diassolved. It is un necessary for me to make any retnark npon the subject of pluralities —one which has afforded .occation for reproach s against the Church—for that occasion is now altogether cut off. The power of granting dispensations for holding a plurality of benefices is vested in me as primate, and having gradually reduced the number of applications by arrangements which I made, l,sixteen years ago, with the full concurrence of my episcopal brethren and of the Government of the day, put a complete stop to the issuing of any dispen sations for that purpose. So far with regard to the revenues of the Church, and the:alleged abuses with reference thereto; arising from unions and pluralities. It is asserted, however, that although the average income of the parochial clergy may not be too large, yet that the number of clergymen is too great as compared with the number of the members of the Established Church and the amount of duty which they have to perform, and that, in this way, therefore, the Protes testant Establishment is on too extensive a scale, and ought to be retrenched. I shall not pause here to enter into any statement of the good offices, both temporal and spiritual, which it is the bounden duty of the clergy to render, as occasion offers, to their Roman Catholic pa rishioners—good offices which I know are rendered wil lingly, and I know are accepted with gratitude by them, and which have tended to alleviate the misery of the poorer classes, to diffuse comforts among them, and to dissipate the darkness of ignorance and of superstition, which other wise would have prevailed more intensely in Ireland. But I proceed at once to a very convincing proof that the number of the clergy is not too large. It is this, that 740 of them are assistant curates, whose services are paid for by the in cumbents themselves ; and that, although the value of Church property has within the last twenty rears been di minished by more than one-fourth of its former amount, the number of stipendiary curates supported by the beneficed clergy- out of their reduced incomes, instead of being dimi nished, has been increased by the large number of 270 within that period. In this diocese thre are 47 more clergymen employed than %%lien it first came under my su perintendence." His Grace r.ext referred to the building and enlargement of churches in Ireland, and showed, by the letter of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to the Lord-Lieutenant, that that board had received no less than 224 applicationsfor the enlargment of houses of worship, many of which had not yet been complied with. That Church, he contended, could not be in a withering, pining, decaying state which mani fested such vigour, and produced such abundant fruit. Sine cures and non-residence were then touched upon. With re spect to the former, "the Church Temporalities Acts of 1833 and 1834 have effectually secured the suppression of them according as they severally fall vacant. Whether it was wise to leave no situations free from labour and responsibi lity, in which a faithful minister, worn out in the discharge of onerous duties, might find a maintenance and place of rest in which to end his days, need not now be discussed. The suppression of all sinecures has been steadily going on under the powers given for that purpose by the statutes to which I have referred. In regard to non-residence, the misrepresentations that have been put into circulation by the enemies of the Church have been of the most exagge rated description. So far from the Irish Church being open to censure above other churches on this aoCoinit, it was the testimony of the late Archbishop Laurence—himself an Englishman, long and well-acquainted with the ecclesi astical affairs of England—that the Irish clergy were more generally resident than their English brethren on their benefices. This was said twenty years ago, and cer tainly there has been no falling off in this respect since then—far, indeed, from it. In estimating clerical non-resi dence, those of course ought to be considered as allowably exempted who are prevented from residing by sickness, infirmity, old age, or any other inevitable providential hindrance. And the few surviving clergymen who obtained a plurality of benefices in former years, and who reside either alternately on both, or wholly on one of them, must be considered as entitled to the same ex emption. In this diocese, after making these allowable de ductions which I have alluded to, there is not one of the beneficed clergy- who can be represented as a non-resdent. Illness of a serious character excuses the temporary absence of two of our members; and the only other two who do not reside in the diocese, are attending to the duties of the cle rical appointments which they hold in a different part of the country. And I would add, that having made inquiry myself last year from every bishop of every diocese in Ire land, I am prepared to assert that the cases of non-re sidence are exceedingly few in number; and as to some of those few, there are no glebe-houses in their parishes to reside in, nor the means of building houses, on account of the miserable smallness of their incomes. Accustomed as our English brethren are to draw from a large and liberal fund for advances of money towards the building of glebe houses, they may not be aware that no such assistance is now provided in Ireland; and that the clergy have to supply for themselves the means of erecting their parsonage-houses. But the constant residence of the clergy, the moderate amount of their average income, the rapid disappearance of pluralities and sinecures—these, though they testify much in reply to the unfounded and unjust accusations brought against our Establishment by its enemies, are but external :lettere. The life, the energy, the value, the usefulness of the Church depends still more upon the personal character, and the official qualifications of its ministers." The most Rev. Prelate then, at considerable length, bore testimony to the great improvement which has been steadily going on for several years in the clergy, and to their efficiency as a body of Christian pastors. ",In a society composed of frail and finite beings it is impossible but that offences must come. That the Irish clergy are not without some unworthy members it is unreservedly admitted ; but admitted in a sense which must apply to the membrs of every other church, of every other institution of equal magnitude and standing. The late Bishop Jebb, in his speech delivered in the House of Lords, in the year 1824, upon the state of our Church. thus ex pressed his opinion—' The Irish clergy are a most improving body.' This (he proceeds to sav) 1 can myself attest from my own knowledge, acquired during twenty-five years of close and diligent attention to the subject. The improve ment has been striking—l might almost say it has been mar vellous ; it has also been progressive, and I see not any like lihood of its diminution. Those in authority are becoming more and more disposed to exercise a mild, but firm and effi cient discipline—those under authority more and more so licitous to approve themselves not only to their earthly su periors, but to Him whose commission they bear, and before whose judgment-seat they must render a strict account.' Such was the character of the Irish :clergy drawn by that distinguished prelate; and I can confirm its truth and ac curacy. Looking back to the period when I was raised to the episcopal office, forty years ago, and comparing the internal condition of the Church now with what it was then, the improvement in every respect is most marked and gratifying. It is also cheering to me to find that our daily schools are in a most encouraging and hopeful state— full of promise as to the fruit they will bear in future years. It is chiefly by your exertions, my reverend brethren, that 279 schools have been established in your parishes, most of them supported by private bounty, and affording a Christian edUcation to upwards of 22,000 children-10,000 of whom are members of our Church, 5,000 are Protestant Dissenters, and 7,000 are Roman Catholics: so successful have your efforts been in effecting their united education. Almost all of these schools are in connexion with the Church Education Society, in behalf of which I applied to the Government, as you are aware, for aid, but applied in vain: I deeply lament that the assistance of the State has not been vouchsafed. The refusal, however, of pecuniary support from the Government does not abate the value of our schools, nor diminish the importance of maintaining them to the utmost of our power. We did not establish them in factious opposition to those of Government; they are the old schools of the coun try, established because we felt that without such insti tutions for the young, under our own s uperintendence , and conducted on principles. of which we approve, we should_ be without one of the most important and effectual means of doing good to those committed to our care. Your constant and anxious superintendence of them, my reverend brethren, has been most praiseworthy. Relax not your efforts to render them more and more efficient in every respect ; and may the Divine blessing rest on all the abundant labours in which you are engaged, for the edification of the people both young and old; and may that blessing likewise descend on the bishops and clergy of every other diocese in Ireland. We are all one body,' and have one hope of our calling.' Let brotherly love continue and abound. At my advanced time of life, it may not be given me to see the day when the perils which surround the Irish Church shall have disappeared, and the beams of temporal prosperity shine once more upon it. The clouds that now overhang and darken its worldly prospects may not be dispersed before my eyes are closed in death ; but, if it should be so, I shall, nevertheless, bless God that the Church which I leave in earthly troubles and adversity is in a state of spiritual health, and life, and order, and devotedness, such as, I be lieve, never adorned it in any former period of its histo. These are favours bestowed upon it by God's mercy and goodness. These are blessings which are not in the l power of states to give or take away. They are nobler wealth than any worldly prosperity. And of higher.s vatuNe,hanend our Church is thus improved, that our brethren in • n land will allow it to be overthrown ? To them we ha . r d e . arilh e t to in look for sympathy, for encouragement, and for the Churches doctrine, discipline, government, of England and Ireland were uniteadntdogwe°thrseir",-;nd, as we were led to believe. united indissolubly and for ever, at the period of the union of the kingdoms. To the people of England, who, when our Legislature was incorporated with theirs, entered into a solemn treaty with us to preserve our Church as -.the established Church of the country; and_ who, as a fur ther security for the permanence of that B itablishment, call upon the Sovereign to promise to pr eserve the ' se ttlement' of theN' United Church; —t inviolably ' 0 the people of i England we naturally look for effectu al aid n guarding th e interests of that Church which they have thus pledged themselves to uphold. And, at the same time, we owe it to the people of England to remove the deceptions which are practised upon them by those enemies of our Church who circulate misstatements respecting it, and who seek to make it appear undeserving of their succour. It is due to them, on our part, to show that this Church, which is a part of theirs, is not the corrupt mass of abuses, —is not the bad' and ,mis chievous institution' which those who are labouring to effect its downfal represent it to be ; but that it is, in truth, worthy of theirprotection, their sympathy, and their support. B u t we must not rely on an' it arm of flesh,' though is our wisdom to appeal to those whose duty it is to render n aid. Our help stand eth in the name of the Lord.'

The list of candidat ' es consisted of eight males and thirteen females; of the latter Mary Lyford was successful, polling 1,124 votes. She is 65 years of age, and the widow of a highly respectable baker and mealman at Mortlake, and her success is mainly attributable to the in fluence and recommendation of the Hon. Miss Harley. The successful male candidat es were William Dowdeswell, who polled 957, and James Blanche, polling 898, the latter aped 66, unable to work at his trade of shoemaker thro ug h rup tuoe ; the former aged 65, formerly a wealthy brewer and mister. a THE APPROACHING WINTER. —On Friday woodcock was shot on the Pentland Hills by tlie game keeper of Mr. Robertson of Loganhouse. • This is the first visitor of its species which has been seen this season in this part of the country, and its arrival is fully a month earlier than last year—a prognos tication, it is sa id, o f a l ong an d severe whiten—Scotsma n. 11'e are h2ppy to state, for the s a ti s f ac ti on o f Si r Valentine Blake's friends, that , though the attack under which the worthy Baronet lately suffered was of a most severe and alarming nature, he is now so tar recovered, that sanguine hopes may be epte4aine4 of his ultimate restoration to health. r THE CASE OF THE ECLAIR. OFFICIAL REPORT. " TO C. C. F. GREVILLE, ESQ. "October 3, 1845. "Sir,—Agreeably to instructions from the Lords of her Majesty's Council, we proceeded to the quarantine station at the Motherbank early on the morni ng a the 30th, to inquire fever the n y o board oiog ofhtehre 11 2 1 8 a t j h es t ult. into the particulars connected with the m or t a lity an d th e of awhmicahlignarrahn-etd o p s za o l e e r n c E e ol air, from the coast of Africa. Having gone alongside and interro gated the Commander Harston and Surgeon Bernard, the fol lowing is the result of our inquiries :—L'Eclair sailed from Devouport in November last, having a crew of 146 officers and men, for the coast of Africa, on which station she remained until the 23d of July last, up to which period she had lost nine men from the common coast fever. Four days after sailing from Sierra Leone, one man died with fever and black vomit, the first case of the kind which had taken place; this man had been brought on board on the morning of the 23d, having been the three pre% ions days on shore. During her voyage to Gambia and Goree Buona Vista, where she arrived on the 21st of August, 18 were attacked with the same fever, with black vomit, of which number 13 died. At Buona Vista the disease continued to spread rapidly amongst the crew, when, permission having been obtained from the Portuguese Governor, it was determined to land the crew, sick and well, and purify the vessel. A fort was appropriated to the accommodation of the seamen and sick, and the officers obtained lodgings in the town. Every measure was taken to purify the ship by wLshing and whitewashing, fumi gation, &c., all the Kroomen remaining on board, with the exception of six employed in attendance upon the sick. The disease, however, continued to prevail amongst the officers and men on shore, 31 men having died between the 21st of August and the 13th September. " Under these circumstances a consultation was held by three naval surg.2ons, and upon their report and recommen dation it was determined that the steamer and crew should proceed to England. The ship's company were in conse quence re-embarked, and sailed on the 13th of September. Captain Escourt, having been taken ill the day before leaving Buona Vista, died on the 6th. At Buona Vista, the assist ant-surgeon Harte, of the Eclair, died, when Mr. Maclure, a naval surgeon, passenger in the Growler, and Mr. Coffv, assistant-surgeon of the Growler, volunteered their services on board ; here also seven seamen volunteered from the Growler. Dr. Maclure died on the voyage to Madeira, and one of the volunteer seamen was taken ill of the fever and recovered. " Upon the arrival of the steamer at Madeira, the autho rities refused permission to communicate with the shore, as had been previously done '„by the French at Goree; but at this island Mr. Bernard, a 'naval surgeon, volunteered his services, and was received on board, with two seamen. From ie day of her sailing front Madeira, the 21st of Sep-• tember, up to this date, the 30th, seven deaths have taken place from the fever, and eight new cases have occurred viz.:— Deaths. . Fresh cases. 2 on the 21st of September. 1 on the 22nd of September. 1 - . 25th • 1 . 23rd 1 . 7 . 26th 2 25th 1 28th - 3 26th 1 29th 1 29th 1 30th 7 8 " The fever still prevailing on board, the first measure deemed necessary was that the ship should be kept in strict quarantine. " 2. That the healthy should be separated from the sick. The steamer was therefore ordered to the Foul Bill Quarantine Station at Standgate-creek ; and an arrangement having been made with the Lords of the Admiralty by which two ships in ordinary, with a proper supply of bedding, &c., were ordered to be placed at the disposal of the Superin tendent of Quarantine at Stainlgate. With the view of per sonally superintending the arrangements, we proceeded to Standgate-creek, and having ascertained the number of officers and men who had hitherto escaped an attack of the fever—viz. 41, they were directed to be immediately trans ferred to the Revenge, having first undergone the operation of ablution, and afterwards supplied with clean clothing and bedding. All those who had recovered from the fever, toga • ther with such number of convalescents as were in a state to be moved, were directed to be transferred to the Benbow, leaving only on board the steamer the sick, and such num ber of officers and men as the Commander might think ne cessary ; the Kroomen also to remain on board (not one of whom had been attacked with fever), excepting such number as might be thought necessary to assist on board the Revenge or Benbow. " Since the 30th ult. three seamen have died, but we are happy to state that no fresh case of fever has occurred since the 29th ult., and that at present there are only two men confined to bed with the fever, and 11 convalescents, under the care of the two medical officers, a surgeon and assistant surgeon, who have been on board ever since the Eclair sailed from Madeira ; and we have a confident hope, from the pre sent state of the crew and the measures adopted, that the progress of the disease is arrested.—We have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servants, " W. PYM, Superintendent-General of Quarantine. "JAMES M. ARNOTT." ACCIDENT on the GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY. A fearful accident occurred on Saturday, near the Cowton station of the Great North of England Railway, by which several persons were snore or less injured, and a lady so se verely that but faint hope is entertained cf her recovery. The Mowing particulars have been communicated by the guard of the train, and may therefore be relied upon : The mail train for London left the Gateshead station of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway as usual, at half-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and reached Darlington at 27 minutes past five. After the usual detachment and accession of carriages the train left the station at 87 minutes least five, and then consisted of the engine and tender, a lug gage van (on which the guard who communicated this account was placed), two second-class carriages, two carriage-trucks belonging to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company, three first-class carriages, the mail-van and sorting carriage, a carriage -truck, and a horse-box. Among those who joined the train at Darlington were Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead, of Manchester, who had booked to the Normanton station, and they occupied the compartment next the engine, of the first of the three first-class carriages, the other end being a coupd. They had a private carriage and horses by the same convey ance, and were returning home after a short excursion among their friends. About a mile and a half north of the Cowton station, which is the second from Darlington, the attention of the guard was drawn to /ITe accident by the breaking of the coupling-bar between the luggage-van and the carriages, which drove in the end of the van. On turning round and looking back, he observed taat they had left a portion of the train behind, and he immediately gave a signal to the engine man to stop, which was done after proceeding about 300 yards further—the train having been previously going at the rate of about 30 miles an hour. The engine having been detached from the van was suit on to Cowton to stop the train ex pected from the south; after which the guard returned along the line, nearly a quarter of a mile, where he found the two second-class carriages standing in the rails, not much injured; about fifty yards further, the first of the car riage trucks was standing on its stock upon the rails, the wheels and axles having been completely taken from under it. The second truck was about 20 yards further, and about 40 yards past that the three first-class carriages were thrown together in such a manner that it is surpri:ing the injury to the passengers was not greater than it has been. The first carriage was thrown upon its end, the coupe end uppermost, and the lower end embedded in the earth, and in the anterior compartment of the second carria , A, which was thrown on its side across the rails. The third was also off' the line. The mail van and sorting carriage were upright,. but the wheels were off the rail, and deeply embedded in the earth. The rails were much bent, and the ground ploughed up for several yards. His attention was first directed to the situation of the passengers, and he found that Mrs. Whitehead, by the a,sistance of Major Parker, the superintendent. of the line, in succession to Captain O'Brien, and who was fortunately travelling with the train, had been removed from the carriage, having sustained very serious in jury, it being at first thought that both her legs were broken above the knee. She was placed on the bank, the accident having oc;:urred in a deep cutting, and every immediate aid was renderei by Mr. Parsons, of York, and Mr. Boyd, from the firm of Abbott and Co., of Gateshead, who were passen gers by the train. Mr. Whitehead, who was in the same compartment with his wife, sustained no serious personal injury, but. his feelings were of course, much excited by the situation of the unfortunate lady. The passengers in the second ✓ carriage were buried under the coupe of the first one, which waz also tilled, and some delay took place in extricating them from their perilous posi tion, but when that was effected it was happily found that none of them had sustained any injury beyond a few slight blows and scratches. The situation of Mrs. Whitehead was extremely distress ing; but she bore her sufferings with a degree of fortitude that was quite astonishing. Mr. Chapmam, of Dalton, who occupies a faun near where the accident occurred, was soon upon the spot, and kindly offered the use of his house, and Mrs. Whitehead was conveyed thither on a door supported by cushions taken from the carriages, and barne by six men. . A special messenger having been sent to Darlington, the station-keeper, with about thirty assistants arrived, and commenced removing the carriages and repairing the line. In the meantime the York train, having arrived at Cowton, was detained there untill the arrival of Major Parker, when it was determined to take some of the carriages from it to forward the passengers from the north, and that was accordingly clone, leaving Cowton station for York at half past eight o'clock. The express train and the mail train, from London, having also arrived, were detained till the line was cleared and the rails replaced, which work was accom plishod with all practicable speed, and the three trains, with short intervals between each, reached the Gateshead station about one o'clock on Sunday morning. The wheels that had been so completely detached from the carriage truck were found between 20Q and 300 yards along the line from the carriage,, one pair broken ; and the breaking of these wheels is supposed to have been the causeof the accident. On Mrs. Whitehead being removed to the house of Mr. Chapman medical aid was procured, but the last accounts leave little hope of the lady's recovery. It is ascertained that the thigh bone of only one leg is broken—a very exten sive compound fracture. It is due to the servants of th• Company to state that everything in their power was done to alleviate the feelings of the sufferers. REMOVAL OF TOBACCO UNDER BOND. The following notice, which is of much importance to the importers of and dealers in tobacco, has been posted at the Custom-house, the several dock and other public establish ments, and also forwarded to the several ports approved for the warehousing of tobacco under bond, throughout the United Kingdom, with directions to the heads of the several departments to cause the same to be affixed in a conspicu ous place in the Custom-houses of their respective ports, for the information of the numerous members of that trade. " Custom-house. By the Commissioners for managing and causing to be levied and collected her Majesty's customs, and other duties, notice is hereby given, that from and after the 15th day of October, 1845, instant, no leaf or unmenufac tured tobacCo, of any description, under bond (save and ex cept in the case of samples, duly ticketed and certified by the proper officer of customs) will be allowed to be carried or re moved from one warehousing port to another, or from one warehouse to another in the same port, without a true and lawful permit granted by the proper officers of the Excise. (Signed) W. MACLEAN, Assistant Secretary." The following general order has simultaneously been issued by the Board of Excise on this subject :—" It being enacted by the 6th section of the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 18, That no leaf or manufactured tobacco shall be carried or removed from any part or place in the United Kingdom, to any other place or part thereof, without a true and lawful permit, granted by the proper officer of Excise; ' and the Board having been in communication with the Commissioners of Customs on the subject of granting permits for the removal of such tobacco in bond from one warehouse to another, it is ordered, that in future, on a request note (agreeably to 2d William IV., cap. 16, sec. 6) being delivered to the proper officer of the Excise, specifying the date, the places and warehouses to and from which the tobacco is to be removed, the number of casks or packages, and the marks and numbers on each, the net weight of the tobacco, and the mode of conveyance, whether by railway or waggon, or sailing or steam-vessel, such request note being signed by the person intending to remove the tobacco, or his known servant, and countersigned by the collector, comptroller, or Other proper officer of the Customs, a permit for the removal of the tobacco is to be granted. The officers of the Excise have further received directions to take notice that the ware house-keeper of the customs into whose custody such to bacco shall be delivered will, on receipt thereof, and after comparing the goods with the permit, endorse his name on the latter, together with the day and hour when he received the goods, and return the permit by the next post to the supervisor or surveyor of Excise, at the place whence the goods were removed ; and the supervisor or surveyor is required, on receiving such permit, to compare it with the counterpart, and return it to the principal office.

The Cesarewitch betting embraced a more copious field than we have hitherto had occasion to publish, and, in the aggregate, looking at the extent of business transacted, ex hibited an improvement. Numerically strong, however, as our list appears, many of the horses comprised in it had only a nominal status in the market, and not more than five were really in force—this favoured lot consisted of Boarding School Miss, The Baron, Intrepid, Kesheng, and Paint Brush.

The health of the Master, and several other toasts, were drank, and the, party separated much p'eased with the hospitality of the k)ectacle Makers' Com pany. A LEARNED CIIURCUWARDEN.—At a village in South Lincolnshire, not many days ago, on the occasion of the examinaton of the school children, the clergyman in vited the churchwarden of the parish to put some questions to them in natural history; whereupon the following learned query was made—" Which o' the Kin wor it as burnt the gs cakes ?" Thus propo un di ng , if not a question in natural history, one at.least for a churchwarden very natural in bid. L torye—Cambridge Cloosicle, MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE . The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very quiet again, and the sales amounted to '2,500 bales only. Prices were rather in favour of the buyers. A good business was done in Sharos, and at higher rates. A considerable degree of importance is attached to the result of the large sales of cattle, &c., which take place at this season of the year in various parts of the United Kingdom : and we may safely affirm, on the authority of the most prac tical men, that for many years prices have not been so high as those that have for the last few months been realised. The conclusion is, that (not forgetting the fact that food has been comparatively scarce) the consumption of the country has been rapidly on the ircrease, and that employment to the labouring classes is much more general than for a very considerable time past. A fair test of the condi tion of the markets for cattle, sheep, &c., in Ireland, will be afforded by the result of the great and important fair at Ballinasloe, which commenced on Saturday last. The flock masters of Ireland contemplate a rich harvest this year, as the demand is great, and the sheep, cattle, and pigs in very good condition. The Provi sion Markets here are in a very firm condition, and trade in general may be said to be in a most healthy posi tion. The apprehensions of some parties that railway extension must injure the regular trade of the country, are most certainly without the shadow of foundation, as wherever the labouring classes are more extensively employed the greater will be the demand for manufactured goods as well a.s the neces saries and the luxuries of life. As for the deposits locked up temporarily on account of new railway .projects they come out of the pockets of those who can well afford to permit it to remain inactive for a few months. There have not been any arrivals of the least importance to-day. The Consol Market has been very firm to-day at 98% for the Account, and at 98% to % for Money. Not much busi ness has been transacted. Exchequer-bills are in demand at 52e. to 545. premium. The dealings in the Foreign Stocks were but few to- day. Mexican were sold at 32% and %; the Portuguese Four per Cents. at 60% ; Spanish Five per Cents. at 27% 1 ; the Three per Cents. at 38 1 4 ; the Belgic Four per Cents. at an improvement from 99 1 4 to 99% ; and the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 59% to CO ) 4. The Railway Share market has been exceedingly firm to-day, and generally prices have an upward tendency. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. 3 per Cent.

WOOLWICH ' OCT. 6.—The Growler steam-frigate, Com mander F. H. Buckle, from the coast of Africa, arrivedyester day at Woolwich, and it is gratifying to be able to state that . the officers and crew are all well. The Princess Alice steam-vessel, Mr. Smithetr, Master Commander, is now nearly ready for sea, and is expected to proceed to Dover in the latter part of the present week, to re sume her duties at that station. A number of workmen have been engaged at the Woolwich Dockyard, on task-work, to expedite the Sphinx steam vessel, now building. It is some time since the order was given to discontinue converting timber for the Hannibal, of 90 guns, as the slip on which she was intended to be built is required for the Niger, the keel of which has been laid, and she will also be completed by task- work. The tall chimney of the new saw-mills, opposite the black smith's shop in the dockyard, has been completed by the contractors, Messrs. Brocklebank and Rolt, and the new dock is progressing in a very satisfactory manner. Upwards of 30 of Porter's anchors and several others, de signated " Government anchors," have been tested by Bra mah's powerful machine, for her Majesty's service, within the last fortnight. REcnerrs FOR THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Twenty-six fire young lads arrived at Woolwich on Friday last from Lisb -rn, Ireland, under the charge of Bombadier Mason, to j, , in the Royal Regiment of Artillery. They appeared respect ably dressed for their station in life, and in the highest spirit, and were welcomed on landing at Rofe's Wharf by three cheers from a number of the companions of their earlier years, who had previously joined the corps. Lieutenant Clarke, a veteran officer, of about 70 years of age, who has had the charge of the recruiting for the Royal Artillery at Lisburn, has sent a considerable number of line young men to headluarters, and the authorities are much pleased with his exertions. Of the 26 alluded to, 25 are Protestants, and as the regiment is still short of the number required, which makes the ditties of the garrison very arduous, it would be well if the old warrant were revived of giving Is. per day pension after the full period of service, and then there would be no difficulty in obtaining recruits ; the present great ob stacle being the poor pittance of 6d. held Out as a reward for the services of men during the best period of their lives. _ . FUNERAL OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE NAVAL KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR.--WINDson, MoNDAv.—The funeral of Lieut. Charles Carter, the Governor of the Naval Knights of Windsor, who expired at his residence on Wednesday last, took place this day, at noon, in the catacombs connected with St. George's Chapel. Upon the funeral procession arriving at the chapel it was met a t th e nor th ern en t r an ce by the Rev. Mr. Knyvett, the minor canon in residence, by whom the service was performed. The chief mourner was Captain Carter, a near relative of the deceased, who was supported by Dr. Standlord and George Chapman, Esq. The following military knights formed a portion of the procession :—Major Charles Moore (the Governor), Lieut. Ragg, Lieut. Fleming, Lieut. Allen. Lieut. Power, Ensign Lawrence, Lieut. M•Der mott, Lieut. Sicker, Lieut. Johnson, Major Wathen, Ensign Lamb, and Lieut. Nance. The pall was borne by Lieutenants Okes, Henslow, Hurst, and Bland, Naval Knights, and by Captains Cochrane and M'Lacblen, Military Knights. The body was interred in the new cemetery by the side of the late Governor of the Military Knights, Capt. Fernyhough. The deceased, who was highly respected and esteemed by a nu merous circle of friends during a residence in 'Windsor of up wards of twenty years, was in the 65th year of his age. The number of Candidates for the vacant appointment is upwards of 100. DREADFUL DEATH IN A BRICK-KILN.—An inquest was held on Wednesday last, at the Beaufort Arms, Mumbles, before Charles Collins, Esq , on the body of Timothy Crawley, aged 20, a seaman on board the Hannah, of Cork, Dimsey, master. On that day, a person named John Griffiths was Passing one of the limekilns on the beach near the Mumbles, when he observed a man, who turned out to be the deceased, lying on his face on the kiln, his body being most dreadfully mutilated, the flesh having been entirely . burnt off his face, arms, and thighs. Having procured assistance, he removed him to the stables of the George Inn. A great many wit nesses were examined, whose evidence went to show that the deceased's leg was in a very bad condition, which rendered him unable to work; the master, in consequence, ordered him ashore on Tuesday, he having been below the greater part of the morning of that and the pre vious day. After his discharge he visited the vessel for the purpose of applying for his wages, but the master told him to call next day. Deceased was seen during the remainder of the evening loitering about the village, evi dently in a destitute condition, as he asked some boys to give him bread; he likewise complained of ill-treatment on the part of the master. Being unable to obtain loclgidgs at one or two places, he inquired for some limekilns, intimating that he intended sleeping near one of them. Edward Stephens, a sailor, who had been left on board, deposed to the circum stances of the master having repeatedly assaulted the de ceased at Porthcawl, on the day they sailed for the Muin bles; that he ordered him below, where he remained until he left the vessel, having had no food during the greater part of Monday and Tuesday, and that lie told witness that if he gave deceased food, it would be the worst act he ever did. The jury returned a verdiet in accordance with the facts, accompanied by a written vote of censure on the conduct of the master in discharging the deceased without food or money.— Cambrian. TIIE WELLINGTON STATUE IN GLASGOW.—We lament to state that a rude and disgraceful attempt has already been made to deface one of the finest parts of this noble statue in Glasgow. Some brutes—they cannot have been men—knocked off and carried away, on Monday night, the reins of the horses attached to the peaceful figure of the plough, on the western department of the statue, entering to the Royal Exchange. Disgraceful, truly disgraceful ! It is an act, indeed, of wanton barbarity; and we take this notice of it, for though we are opposed to the political creed of the Duke of Wbllington, yet, take him all in all, we have never hesitated to say that he is one of the greatest men that ever lived, and if he came to Scotland we could reverence the very ground on which he trod. For the sake of the character of our city, we hope it will never be found that any of cur fel low-citizens has laid his unhallowed hands on this statue for the purpose of deforming it. But if such there be, and if such be found, we think the appropriate punishment for him would te, to have him drawn on a hurdle, through the: public streets of Glasgow, with his name and designation: gibbetted before him, and then sent to the bridewell of Glas gow, there to be kept fin- a lengthened space at hard labour, and have his back well thrashed at the next anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. THE WEATHER AND THE DROPS.--The weather since our .ast, has been of the same trying kind as that we have previously experienced. The weather, with one exception, was tine every day until yesterday, when a considerable quantity of rain fell. The injury done is. however, more confined to retarding the ripenin; of the crops, and the leading of those already , sustained the tie grain. The • f c l u tr 4 me t r i s ian ght a c n o y n t damageradicta ry accounts saving that the quality of grain upon their farms, ' considering the extra quantity of straw, will be fully an average, whilst others state that their crops will take four stooks to the bushel. On the whole these is likely to be a deficiency, for both statements are quite consistent with the truth. The other crops have improved, but there is a great want of warmth to waprovo and ripen them. — Durham Citron**. F-- , COURT CIRCULAR.

WARWICK, MONDAY EVENING.—As `vas anticipated, Mr. Bolton King has, for the present, withdrawn his pretensions to represent the county, and the friends of Lord Brooke are now in undisputed possession of the field. This morning Mr. King issued the following address "TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF TIIE COUNTY OF WARWICK.. " Gentlemen,—Since I published my address to you on Saturday Lord Brooke has become a candidate to represent you in Parliament. "Under these circumstances I now retire from the con test, having no wish to put my friends and the county gene rally to the trouble and excitement attending a contested election on the present melancholy occasion; and being most unwilling to tax the exertions of my friends, or to put Lord Brooke to unnecessary trouble and expense, I think it better at once to declare my determination, than to prolong the canvass. " To the many friends and electors who have promised me their valuable support, I return my most grateful thanks. "I have the honour to be your obedient servant, "Oct. 6, 1845." "BOLTON KING. It is presumed that Lord Brooke will accept the tender of the vacant seat, and that no opposition will be offered to his return. Mr. King, by his withdrawal, has exercised a dis cretion which, in all probability, will result in his election upon the next vacancy. WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION. The revision of the lists for this city commenced yesterday, before D. C. Movlan, Esq., in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Westminster Hill. • IMPORTANT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLUB- Houns.—ln the parish of St. James, Mr. Vernon Harfurd claimed in respect of an apartment attached to the Reform Club. Mr. Beck, the steward of the club, was examined by Mr. Trott in support of the claim, and he stated that Mr. liar ford had occupied an apartment in the dormitory of the club for four years, for which he paid 80/. a•year, and the dormi tories never let for a shorter period than twelve months. Those who slept at the club had a private entrance at 105, Pall-mall, by which no member except those who slept there had access. The rent was paid to the witness, and by him to the secretary. By the BARRISTER-If these gentlemen go down into the hall of 105, Pall-mall, they can get into the club-house, but not otherwise. Mr. Buzzard, the vestry clerk, stated to the Court, in answer to a question, that the secretary of the club is rated for the whole premises. The Learned BARRISTER said, as these gentlemen appeared to have exclusive entrance by the door of 105, Pall-mall, he should allow the claim. Mr. J. T. Tancred, M.P., and Mr. William Coffin also claimed under precisely the same circumstances, and their names were placed on the list of voters. There are altogether twenty members who have seperate apartments in the dormitories, but these were the only claims made this year, and for the first time. The lists of St. Anne, Soho, St. Clement's, St. Mary-le- Strand, and the precinct of the Savoy, were gone through. Mr. Trott applied that the overseers of the parish of St. Clement should be fined for retaining names on the lists, fourteen of whom had been expunged before, and six of them three times ; and also because the lists of voters could not be obtained in proper time. The consideration of the question was deferred. The result of the day's revision was as follows :—Conserva tive claims, allowed 4, disallowed 2 ; objections, allowed 36, disallowed 5. Radical claims, allowed 3, disallowed 6 ; objec tions, allowed 38, disallowed 5. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The entertainments yes terday evening were intended to be for the benefit of Messrs. Wardell and Holt, and a very attractive bill of fare was pre pared, including the balloon, tableaux vivans, &c. However, Vauxhall's old enemy, the ruin, appearing in great force, all out-of-door entertainments were prevented, and those of the company who were not contented with what the weather per mitted got checks for Wednesday evening, which, to use the words of a notice posted in the gardens, is, "wet or dry," to be the last night. Those who remained had ample enter tainment in the striking performances of Professor Keller and his corps, who went through some of their most picturesque pose's plastiques. THE RATING OF CLERICAL STIPENDS TO TRH POOR-It ATES. —Yesterday evening a vestry meeting was held in the vestry-room of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, to take into consideration the application of the Rev. Mr. Hor ton, the Re,tor, to be relieved from having his stipend in the lieu of tithes rated to the poor-rates. Mr. Hook, the Rector's Warden, having been called to the chair, the Rev. Mr. Horton said he was very sorry that he bad been under the necessity of applying for a vestry to get their decision to enable him to be relieved from the payment o f p oor-rates out of his stipend, and he these roa dot r he th a a p t pl h ic a a d ti e o v n er up res on idedin years grounds:—he the fir s t Recto the parish ; for nineteen he had resided amongst them, seven of which he bad been their rector; not a shilling w as laid out of the parish, while for a period of nineteen years he had not been absent three months. Yet paying as he did the utmost attention to his spiritual duties, he was the only rector whose stipend had ever been rated. A long dis cussion ensued, in which various opinions were stated in favour of and against the rating, the legality of which was stated to be unquestionable. A motion was then proposed by Mr. Palmer to the effect, that the vestry should instruct the parish officers not to enforce the rate. This motion was received with much opposition, and finally an amendment was agreed to for adjou r ni ng the vestry sine die. ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, OCT. 6.—DEATII OF MAJOR R.

TROTTING. —Yesterday a match was decided at Norwood, between a bay horse , belonging to Mr. Letchley, an d a cob, the property of Mr. Wales (sporting butchers, of Lambeth) ; the contest was in harness, over three miles of road, and the stakes 5/. aside. At the start the horse went away at the lead, which he maintained the first mile, and completing the distance in 3 min. 18 sec., and at the conclu sion of the second mile they were neck and neck, and trotting at an easy pace, and covered the second mile in :si t minutes; on the:commencement of the last mile, the horses were pushed for an increased speed ; the bay horse then broke to a gallop, and was pulled in. The cob then took the lead, and maintained it to the end of the distance, and won by 150 yards, accomplishing the three miles in 10 min. 16 sec. EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.—An inquest was held yesterday afternoon, at the Free House, Clewer-lane, Wind sor, before W. Marlin, Esq., coroner for the borough, on the body of a woman named Ann Garrawav, who met with her death by falling backwards down stairs while in a state of intoxication. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Holder ness, surgeon, of Windsor, who was in attendance shortly after the accident occurred, that the deceased, whose skull was fractured, died of concussion of the brain. The jury re turned a verdict accordingly. His Royal Highness Prince George honoured the Ist Life Guards with 11i3 company at dinner yesterday. Among the company present were the HOD. Col. Cavendish, Earl of Munster, Earl of Pembroke, Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, Lord CuLon, Mr. Wombwell, Sir Cl Arles Kent, lion. F. De Roe, &c. !7th , had the lace ught pro that d be „bed rcely
