We understand that the officers have returned to town, and have succeeded in making a seizure of the contraband watches, which considerably exceeded 100 in number. No further particulars have transpired as to the names of the persons, or as to any proceedings likely to be insti. tuted against them. This is the third or fourth extensive seizure of this valuable article of merchandise made by the Customs' officers within the short space of a few months. If we be corre::tly informed, the same officers have a seizure of a much larger quantity of the same valuable description of goods in view, if they have not already captured them. It is a matter of surprise how se large a number of such valuable articles could possibly be imported, although their ultimate seizure must be an equal source of gratification to the officers and the trade generally, which must necessarily be seri ously injured by the success of such malpractices. LINCOLN AND NOTTINGHAM RAILWAY.—At a meeting held at the Midland station at Derby, on Tuesday last, the Directors of the Midland Railway accepted the tender of Messrs. Smith and Holland, contractors, Leicester, for making the Lincoln and Nottingham Railway, which is, according to the conditions of their contract, to be open for the public on the Ist of June next. DREADFUL ACT OF SELF-D ESTRUCTIoN.—Thurs day afternoon the utmost excitement prevailed in the neigh bourhood of Messrs. Elliot's brewery at Pimlico, in consequence of a report, unfortunately too well founded, that an individual had shot himself through the head in the parlour of the Stag, in Castle. lane, adjoing the brewery. The facts upon inquiry appear to be as follow :—Mr. Richards, a gunstock maker, living in Castle.lane, and having another residence at Fulham, went to the Stag about five o'clock, and having gone to the back door looked at his watch, when he went into the front parlour and called for a pint of porter, which Mrs. Church, the landlady, took to him. At this time he was standing up and looking out of the window, but there was no thing In his manner to excite the slightest suspicion in her mind of the tragical act that was to follow, and Richards was perfectly sober at the time. She had scarcely left the room when she was alarmed at the report of a pistol in the parlour, and upon some persons going into the room the unfortunate man was found lying in a pool of blood on the floor, and a pistol by his side. Ile was immediately taken up stairs in an insensible state, and surgeons sent for, when Mr. Rendail, of York-street, quickly attended. It was then disco vered he had shot himself under the right ear, and the bullet had most probably passed intcethe brain. Not the slightest'hope is held of his recovery, and his existence cannot be prolonged above a few hours. No cause can possibly be assigned for the act, as Mr. Ri chards was in good circumstances. FRIGHTFUL COACH ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last the London and Newmarket mail, which leaves Norwich at five o'clock, met with a very serious accident at Cringleford-gate. Coming rapidly down the hill, at the bottom of which is the turn ike-gate (a good:pace being required to mount the opposite de. clivity), by some mistake the gate was flung back the wrong way, and catching the forewheel shattered it to pieces,'every spoke being removed, and the coach body separated from the axletree. The coachman (Newman), a most steady driver, continued to hold the reins, and was much injured by being dragged and bruised. We regret to say a lady, who was passenger, had her arm broken, and three other passengers were so much hurt that they were com pelled to return to Norwich. A gentleman, a London traveller, was very much cut and contused about the face and head, but came •n by another coach, for which a messenger was sent to Norwich, and which continued the journey, arriving at the Suffolk Hotel, in this town, two hours later than usual. Every attention was paid to the sufferers that humanity could suggest, and the gentleman who arrived at the Suffolk was going on well when our informant .ant inquired. —Bury Herald. A " MONSTER" POLICEIHAN.—On Tuesday evening the inhabitants of Brixton, Walworth, and Peckham, were conside rably amused by the aerial gambles of a " monster" policeman, who was seen floating about the air for some time, and who at length fell upon the roof of a house in Minerva.place, Old Kent-road. It appears that Mr. Bass, a gentleman of fortune residing in Kent terrace, Lyndhurst-road, Brixton, has been in the habit of letting off small balloons from his pleasvre.grounds, for the amusement of his friends. Lately he has caused the construction of a figure of 12 feet in height in glazed paper, with head, neck, arms, and legs, and painted in colours to represent a perfect fac simile of a "peeler," with truncheon in hand; and on Tuesday night he (Mr. Bass) had caused this figure to be attached to a pilot balloon, and so arranged it that it should drop from its companion upon the former attaining a certain altitude. The experiment was very suc cessful, and, upon ascending, the figure of the " peeler" had an ex ceedingly ludicrous appearance, and seemed as if in the act of being hung. On attaining a certain altitude the figure dropped from the balloon, when its appearance became mush more comic and laugha'4le. It had been so constructed as to maintain an erect position, and its various evolutions in the air were truly ludicrous. It gradually descended, until at length it fell on the top of one of the houses in Minerva-place, Old Kent-road, and was secured by police-constable 146 P, who on Wednesday restored it to Mr. Bass. It was fortunate it had not fallen on the ground, for had it done so, no exertions of the police would have prevented the public from seriously damaging the representative of the law. A MAN LITERALLY DISSOLYED.—A. young man, named Joseph Brammey, residing at Hadfield, in Glossop, Derby shire, and employed at the Dinting, Vale Printworks, belonging to Mr. Potter, was lately found in a pan containing 300 gallons of caustic lye, which was found at a boiling heat. Mow he came in is not known ; but it is supposed that lie went to the top of the pan to ace if the lye was boiling, and, standing on the edge, must have fallen Into the horrible grave. The deceased had not been seen about the premises after twenty minutes past ten o'clock. At a quarter-past one Robert Stubes went to stir up the liquor in the pan, when, to his great alarm, he discovered same of the deceased's clothes, the body being quite eaten away by the liquor. Assistance was immediately procured, and search snide for the remains of the deceased. The liquor in the pan was thrown away, and at the bottom of it nothing hut a few bones could be found, and these looking as if they had been in the ground a hundred years. The leather and soles of his clogs were eaten away ; a portion of his clothes that were made of cotton, had sustained little injury, and the irons and nails that hal been in his clogs were found. The deceased's teeth were discovered all se parate. Strange to say, the deceased's heart was found by itself, quite sound. All that was collected of the body did not weigh 71bs., and if these parts had remained in the liquor three hours longer, not a particle would have been left. The deceased was 17 years of age. This dreadful circumstance has caused the utmost regret to the pro prietor of the print-works, who is well known for his benevolent dis position.—Derby Mercury. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—We understand that the sailing match for the Grand Challenge Cup and Ladies' Purse, with 50 guineas, came off yesterday, when the Victoria (an Irish yacht) belonging tie Daniel Connor, Esq., of the R.C.Y.C.; came in first, and the Edith, belonging to J. C. Ewart, Esq., came iu second. —Liverpool Mercury of Friday. N E W Bata nToN REG ATT A.—This affair came off yesterday. The purse of five sovereigns for four-oared ship gigs, to be rowed by boatmen, was Well by the Midge, beating the Elizabeth, the Thomas, and the Gipsy. The purse of three sovereigns for two oared gigs was won by the Seagull, heating the Gipsy, the Elizabeth, the Brunette, and the Fame. The sculling match tau' two sovereigns was won by the Quick, beating the Dwarf and the George. A great number of person.; were present, and the usual attendants upon fairs, wakes, &c., were on the ground. Everything was conducted in the most orderly manner.—Liverpool Mercury of Friday. A contract has been concluded between the Go vernment and the Pacific Steam Navigation Company for the convey ance of mails on the western coast of South America, between Val paraiso and Panama. This is an important arrangement, as the mails being taken across the Isthmus to Chagres can be regularly brought by the vessels of the West India Royal Mail Company to this country, instead of performing the long circuitous route by Cape Horn. THE SWELL Mon AT THE FIGIIT.—The fight be tween Bendel° and Count proved a profitable affatr to the railway companies, not so to many individuals. The train which reached Rugby from the Midland Counties line at three o'clock in the after noon of Monday last, brought in the third-clasa carriages upwards of 500 persons—characters of the lowest grade; the train having to stay at Rugby station an hour, afforded them an opportunity of plying their vocation, which they did in many instances on persons in the vicinity of the station. They then adjourned to the Railway Inn, kept by Mr. J. D adle y e and literally crammed it; and while the landlord and others were eng a g ed in supplying creature comforts to their guests, some of the party went up stairs, broke open the cash box, and stole the contents, amounting to nearly 4!., together with several articles of wearing apparel, and safely retreated. The train carried upwards of 1,000 persons to the scene of the flght.—Banbary Cittardian. REDUCTION OF THE PRICE OF BREAD.—The con tinuation of the favourable harvest weather has at length hod the gratifying effect of. producing a general reduction in th e p rice of bread, of from a penny to three halfpence per loaf of 41be. There are, however, some exceptions, as in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell little or no alteration has yet been mode. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEStENTS.-011 Friday the new street called F.ndell-street, formerly Tlanover and Belton-street, leading from Long-acre to Brood-street, Bloomsbury, together with the continuous line of thoroughfare, now named Bloomibury-street, previously Plumtree and Charlotte-streets, were thrown open for the passage of vehicles, thus giving the long-desired direct line of com munication between the northern and southern parts of the Metro polis, it being now nearly a straight real, via Waterloo bridge, from the Elephant and Castle to Hanmeteaa. The Duke of Richmond hid the foundation-stone of the now free s emote at Fochabers, in the vicinity Gorgon Castle, oe Weaneeday so'nnight, wh en the Duchess of Richmond and the Ledie; Lennox, and a large party from the ducal castle were pre sent at the cerein my.

FROST.—The paragraph which has appeared stating that " Mrs. Frost, the wife of the Newport convict, is gene out as metesn on h oard a convict shi p to New South Wales," is 'ne en tirely without foundation. Mrs. Frost, we learn, i s b y birth, educa tion, and fortune, a highly-respectable lady, enjoying the respect of all who knew her, and is at the present thno residing at No. 14, Montpellier, Bristol.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

OFFENCES IN THE PARKS. — On Friday the usual Monthly statement of offenders detected and convicted for offences committed in St. James's, Hyde, and the Green Parks, was exhibited at the various entrances Into the Parks, according to an order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. From this document it appears that, during August, there were five offenders—one for cutting the .eats, fined five shillings four for indecency, three of whom were .the easisatiVA,sarth to three months' confinement and setitencedel*„ hard I abylarl, the emir o r rrmilar offence, but of a more aggra arta—was tried at the last Middlesex Ses. vated descriptlOne-forlea tc /Vas a.* -W. tO 40LIC naprisoruneat and tiara labour. slow, CASE OF LIEUT. HOLLIS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM. Sin,—ln my letter of the 30th ult., addressed "to Viscount Jocelyn, M.P., Secretary to the Right Hon. the Board of Control," (which, together with my petition_ to Parliament, you did me the favour to insert in your paper of the 3d inst.), the following words are attributed to his Lordship as forming part of his statement in the House of Commons relative to my case :—lt was " found necessary to put Lieut. Hollis under arrest while out on his voyage to India. Lieut. Hollis broke that arrest—a very grave offence, and used harsh lan guage to his superior officer." —Morning Herald, Aug. 6. Yesterday, however, I had the honour to receive a letter from his Lordship, informing me that "the sentence which it is your intention to allude to, as having fallen from me in the course of my reply to Mr. Escott, was (to the best of my recollection), that Capt. Align= considered himself justified in placing Lieut. Hollis under arrest on the outward passage to Bombay, which arrest was broken by Lieut. Hollis (a very grave military offence), who, at the same time made use of language which one gentleman would not be justified in making use of to another, much less a subordinate to a supe rior officer. These I believe to be nearly the words I made use of in the debate, and not the sentence you attribute to me." Making every allowance for the difference—if there b 3 any —between these two statements, they clearly lead to one and the same conclusion, viz , " that there were just grounds for the arrest; that it resulted from some misconduct—some breach of discipline ;" of which I complained in my letter as being contrary to the facts, and "most prejudicial to the merits of the case." How can it be said " that Captain Mignan considered himself justified in placing Lieutenant Hollis under arrest," when he never preferred the slightest charge in its justification—when he acted throughout maid d e—mato anima ?.—and when his whole conduct has been condemned—not by the Noble Secretary to the Board of Control, but by the Commander-in-Chief at Bombay—as " most irritating," " highly objectionable and censurable," and " neither called for nor suitable from a commanding officer ?" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient and obliged servant, 'WM. HOLLIS, Late Lieutenant Madras Army. Camberwell, Sept. 9, 1845. * " The Court think it their duty, before closing the pro ceedings, to advert to the long and irritating correspondence entered into by Captain Mignan with Lieutenant Hollis, and continued after that officer had been placed in arrest ; and further to record their opinion, that the many frivolous com plaints preferred by Captain Mignan against that officer, and particularly the galling, and, as it appears to the Court, un warrantable taunt, marked B in page 25 of the Correspond ence, in a great measure led to those acts en the part of Lieutenant Hollis which have been made matter for their in • vestigation."— Opinion of the Court of Inquiry. CORONER'S INQUEST. An inquest was held on Thursday afternoon at the Adam and Eve public-house, Eton, Bucks, before Mr. John Pacton, one of the de puty coroners for the county, on the body of a man named William Archer, twenty-nine years of age, who had held the situation of under-gardener for the last four years in the service of Mr. Gran • ville Penn, of Stoke-park, near Slough, and who met his death by drowning under the singular circumstances detailed in the following evidence. Mr. Penn and several of the most respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood were present during the inquiry. The first witness examined was Mr. Charles Stewart Voules, solicitor, of Windsor, who deposed as follows :—I was returning to Windsor from a party at Slough, accompanied by Mr. Legh, between 1 and 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning s and on arriving at the turnpike-gate in the Slough road, I distinctly heard the screams of a female. On proceeding further I heard called out, in a woman's voice, " For God's sake, leave me alone, don't treat me so; let me get up : don't drag me!" On reaching Willowbrook, near Eton College, I saw a man (deceased) and woman standing together quietly in the shade. I asked the man what the disturbance had been about, when he replied, " Oh, nothing ; the woman who cried out has just gone on before, so you are mistaken." I said, " That can't be, for I can see up to Fifteen Arch-bridge, and no one is there." I went up to the woman, and asked her what the man had been doing to her. She was then sobbing, and made no answer. I again put the same question to her, and she replied, " Nothing." I then said, " Well, if you are satisfied, we cannot be otherwise." I told the man he must be a great brute to ill.treat a woman at such an hour and in such a place, when he replied, " I have not ill-treated her, and I'll make you prove your words." We then left, but had not gone more than a few yards when the man came after us, and after taking hold of Mr. Legh by the eollar, and striking him a severe blow on the head, breaking his hat, he made several blows at me, and at last we closed. In the struggle which ensued he got me on to the bridge, and when close to the low parapet he exclaimed, "D— you, I'll throw you over." I tripped him up and threw him upon his back, having previously sent Mr. Legh for a constable. I let him get up on his promising to go quietly, and on his telling me his name and who he worked for. He was no sooner on his legs than be again attacked me, and I a second time got him down, and so kept him until Mr. Legh returned with one of the Eton police, to whom I gave him in charge. When we reached the Chrlstophor Inn, at Eton, on our road to the station house, I saw the man put his hand into his pocket and take out something, I told the policeman to open his hand, when he found in it a gardener's knife. I said, " What do you mean by that, you rascal V The man turned to the policeman and said, " This per son knocked me down in the road, cut me with this knife, and robbed me of my watch, and he has got it." When we reached Perkins's house, the Inspector of the Eton police, I said to him, " Now, if the inspector knows you, you may go." He then ran off down the road, the constable after him, and just as they got out of my sight I heard a splash in the water. (The water referred to is a mill-stream, running nearly parallel with - the Thames, very deep in the centre, and about 25 feet in width.) The constable came back, and said," He is gone through the water." I then ran down to the stream, but as I could neither hear nor see anything of him, I thought he had escaped across to the osier bed. We then got a candle and lantern, and searched about for upwards of an hour without discovering any traces of him, and it was our opinion, from seeing some fresh wet weeds on the banks of the stream, that he had got out at that spot and escaped. I think the man was sober. Henry Carter, the constable who took the deceased into custody, stated that when the man started off towards the water he followed ' him and saw him go in, over a camp-shedding (or wharf). Wit ness afterwards saw him walking in the shallow water, close by the camp-shedding, a distance of 15 feet, and he then returned and gave the alarm that the man had got away. Witness was present during the search. Mr. Granville Penn rose, and stated to the deputy-coroner that he had attended the inquest, not only as being the master of the unfortunate deceased, but as one of the magistrates of the county ; and as the man had met with his death while in the custody of the police he begged to suggest, in order that a correct conclusion might be arrived at, that the jury should view the place at which he had fallen into the water. This was assented to, and on the return of the coroner and jury, Samuel Perkins, inspector of the Eton police, was examined, and corroborated the evidence of Mr. Voules and Carter as to the search which was made to discover the man. This witness also deposed to the finding of the body at seven o'clock the same evening by means of drags, nearly in the centre of the stream, where the water was about S feet deep. Mr. William Legh, one of the magistrates of Windsor, who was with Mr. Voules at the time he was attacked by the deceased, was then examined. He stated that it was his impression, from what the policeman said, who had seen the man go into the water, that he had got out again and escaped across the gardens of the neighbouring houses. This being the whole of the evidence, and the deputy 'Groner having summed up, the room was cleared for the jury to consider their verdict. The jury, after having been in consultation for half an hour, returned a verdict of " Accidentially drowned while escaping from the custody of a police-constable." The deceased received an excellent character from Mr. Penn, who stated that he had lived in his, service for upwards of four years, and that during that time he had been a most quiet, peace able, and industrious man, supporting his widowed mother en tirely out of his earnings, and was much respected by his neigh. hours and friends. A subscription was made in the room for the mother of the de ceased, the jury and witnesses handing over the fees they were en. titled to to a relative of the poor woman for presentation. The man's watch, money, and other property found upon him, were given to the same party for the mother by the deputy coroner. RAILWAY RETURNS.

It appeared by the evidence that about ten days ago, deceased had burst the fibular artery on the instep of the left leg. Proper remedies were applied, and the bleed ing was staunched. On Wednesday evening her husband left her to attend to his duty. On his return to his cabin in about a quarter of an hour, he found her undressed and seated in a chair apparently quite dead ; upwards of a quart of blood had issued from her instep. Her left stocking had jest betbre been removed from her foot. Mr. Baillie, surgeon, st2ted that he was called to deceased. He found her quite dead. Upon examining her log he found that the recent wound had broken out afresh, and that hastily removing her stock ing from her swelled leg had removed the scar from the wound, and the artery had recommenced bleeding. Witness attributed death to exhaustion caused by excessive hannorrhage —Verdict in accordance wills the medial testimony. HER MAJESTY'S STEAM YACHTS AT TREPORT.— When the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, and her little tender the Fairy, were at Treport, the French Royal Family were much pleased with their appearance, but especially with that of the Fairy, built of iron, and propelled by the screw. The Prince de Joiuville visited the Fairy frequont'y, and on one occasion with Prince Albert, when his Royal Highness introduced Mr. Penn, the constructor of the engines of the Fairy, who, by royal command, was on board that vessel during her Majesty's visit to the continent. Mr. Penn accompanied that gallant young Admiral the French Prince all over the little ma chinery were taken to p eyed intimate acquPaieincteasnacte yacht, and into the engine - room, when some portions of the wi his th de t s h i e re m . e l s ' t riLic h e lu d t e e J d o e i t n e v il i s ll e e f dis played screw machinery, and exp ressed his firm belief that a very short time would elapse before every man-of--war should be fitted with the screw SCOTTISH Suraz.—When in th e coun ty o f propeller. ller NE ope.

TIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1845. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY. The first general meeting of the Shareholders in this Com pany was held yesterday in the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of having the report of the Directors submitted to them, and for the transaction of other business. P. S. Butler, Esq , M.P. for Kilkenny, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that after the report should have been read by the secrerary, he might perhaps offer a few re marks upon it, but he thought that everything would be found so fully detailed in it that his observations would be rendered unnecessary. The SECRETARY (Mr. Prosser) then read the report, the substance of which was as follows :—" The Directors, after congratulating the Shareholders on the prosperous nature of the undertaking, went on to say that the total receipts as vet had been some 12,5001., and the expenditure above 5,0001., leaving a balance, in round numbers, of 7,000/. They had met with very little opposition in Parliament, and the share market exhibited an increasing confidence on the part of the public in the undertaking." The CHAIRMAN, in a brief speech, adverted to the past history of the Company, and argued the continued success of it from the good reputation it had hitherto borne both in that country and in Ireland. His humble efforts had been given to it from the first, and he could assure tht Di rectors that his exertions should be continued in the future as ill the past time. Mr. JOHN TEMPLETON moved, and Mr. CLIFFORD seconded, the adoption of the report.—Agreed to. Mr. HADDEre proposed that Mr. Webster, of Great George street, and Mr. George Bain, of Parliament-street, be elected auditors, and that the remuneration be 15 guineas each per annum.—Agreed to. Lieutenant- Colonel Johnson moved and Mr. Middleton se conded a resolution, that 800/. per annum should be laid aside as a remuneration to the Directors.—Carried. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Green, seconded by Mr. Smith, that a salary of 3001. per annum be allowed to the secretary of the Company. Thanks were then voted to the officers of the Company; and, on the motion' of Barry Baldwin, Esq.,lM.P., to the Chairman, when the meeting broke up. MARKET NEWS.—(SATURDAY.) COVENT-GARDEN.

A NEW CHRISTIAN NAME.—At our police-office on Saturday a member of the Metropolitan Police force was exa. mined respecting the apprehension of a female named Wiggle, who was brought up on a charge of felony. In the course of his evidence the policeman said, " I asked the prisoner if her name was A-li-us Wiggle." " A what ?" exclaimed the Bench, simultane ously " A-li-us." repeated the witness, no doubt wondering at the mental obtuseness of our provincial justices. " Elias," sug gested their worships, " why, it's a female." " A-11-us," main tained the man," here it is in the letter;" and the sapient mem ber of the Metropolitan Police force forthwith plunged his hands into the depths of his trousers pocket, from which he extracted a written document, and handed it over to the astonished magis trates. The mystery was then soon unriddled ; for the letter directed the constable to apprehend a person named " Tilly, alias Wiggle."— Cheltenham Journal. BLOCKADE OF THE SREETS.—A great deal has been said about the glorious three days of the barricades at Paris, but what ought to be said about the three weeks of ba-ricading to which the principal thoroughfares of London have been already subjected? The pass of Fleet-street is stopped—the great hill of 1 Holborn is blocked up — and Piccadilly has fallen into the hands of the paviors, who hold possession of it with an obstinacy that would do honour to a better cause. As to Napoleon's achieve ment in forcing a passage over the Alps, it was an easy process compared with the difficulty which he would have found in carry ing his cohort,: over Holborn-hill, or leading his legions along Fleet-street. We cannot understand the policy of keeping the great London thoroughfares continually blockaded, unless it be to harass an invading enemy; for, supposing Joinville and his party to arrive in the metropolis by the Dover Railway, they would naturally make for the Regent's-circus, and being hemmed in by wheelbarrows in front, they might be surprised in the rear by a regiment turning suddenly round the corner of Jermyn-street. This precaution is all very well as far as a foreign foe is concerned, but it is very inconvenient to a native omnibus and its cargo of British passengers, who are carried considerably out of their way by the main thoroughfares being rendered impassable.—Punch. NEW ACT FOR THE GRANTING OF LEASES.—On the Ist proximo, " An Act to facilitate the granting of certain leases" is to take effect. It contains eight short provisions, with two schedules. The object of this new law seems to be to shorten leases for lands and tenements. A very short form indeed may be used; and it is provided, that in future leases, unless specially excepted, shall be deemed to include all outhouses, buildings, &c., belonging or otherwise appertaining. The remuneration for preparing and executing so short a deed is not to be paid by the length (shortness), but the taxing master is to consider the skill and labour employed, and the responsibility incurred in the pre paration thereof. Any deed which shall fail to take effect under this Act shall bind the parties as if the Act had not been made. The Act is not to extend to Scotland. Loss OF LIFE THROUGH THE BONE OF A HERRING. —An inquest was held by Mr. Mills, at the St. John of Jerusalem, St. John-street, on the body of Mr. Feeney, printer, aged 30, late of No. 20, St. John.street. Last Thursday week de ceased was eating a red herring, when one of its bones sticking in his throat caused him to cough so violently that a spitting of blood followed. On the following morning his foreman went to deceased's bed-room, when he found him dead in bed and covered with blood, which, it was supposed, he spat in a renewed fit of coughing, and which, from want of assistance, choked him. Verdict—" Natural Death." The steam-ship Unicorn, Captain Douglas, arrived in the Mersey from Halifax on Thursday morning, bringing advices from that port to the 28th ult. inclusive. They do not contain any intelligence of interest. ARRIVAL OF CATTLE AND SHEEP FROM HOLLAND. —Thursday morning three large Dutch steam-vessels arrived in the Thames from Holland, having on board between 400 and 500 sheep and 200 oxen, which were safely landed, for the London market. Another portion of the cargo consisted of cheese and butter of excellent quality. A YOUNG LADY FOUND IN THE THAMES.—Thurs day morning, at half-past nine o'clock, some watermen dis covered the body of a young lady in the Thames, off Billingsgate dock. The deceased appeared to be about twenty years of age, dark eyes, hair, and complexion ; was attired in a purple speckled cotton gown, black crape bonnet, black boots, and white stockings, linen not marked, gold earrings, coral necklace, and two gold rings on her fingers, and a pair of black kid gloves on her hands. The body was removed to the workhouse of St. Mary-at-Hid, to await a coroner's inquest. DEATH OF COLONEL CROMWELL MASSEY.— On the Bth instant died, at St. Lawrence, Ramsgate, aged 103, Colonel Cromwell Massey, late of the Hon. East India Company's service. He was a combatant on the 10th of September, 1780, in the san guinary battle of Perimbancum, in Mysore, against the forces of Hyder Ally, when he, with Colonel Baillie, Captain (afterwards Sir David) Baird, and about 200 British soldiers, were taken pri soners. Without ammunition, their waggons being accidentally blown up, they formed themselves, under the fire of the enemy's numerous artillery, into a square, and there resisted and repulsed thirteen different attacks, until borne down and trampled upon, and still fighting under the legs of the elephants and horses, they were compelled to surrender, and were thrown, chained together two and two, into Hyder's dungeons at Seringapatam, suffering from their wounds, without surgical care, almost naked, exposed to pri vations, cruel indignities, and ill-treatment, and remained cap tives for three years and nine months, when Hyder's death led to their release. THE GIPSY KING AND HIS CAMP.—lnformation has been sent to the police of an enormous amount of property found in the possession of a gipsy of the name of Lee, who is said to be the king of that tribe, and which for the most part l 3 supposed to have come from the neighbourhood of London. It would take up too much space to enumerate all the articles found in this man's camp ; but a statement of a few will give some notion of his possessions. Three silver watches, two silver table-spoons with initials, eight silver tea-spoons with separate marks, two silver mustard.spoons, two silver knives, a gold brooch, two riding whips silver mounted, a stock of brass and copper kettles, stew-pans, &c. ; a splendid dinner and tea service of china, eighteen silk handkerchiefs, various patterns ; thirty-seven ladies' gowns, silk and cotton ; coats and other wearing apparel ; a set of window curtains, two five-pound notes, and a vast deal of other valuable property, for which it is desirable to find owners. The " king" is in custody. A 'TRAVELLER MISSING. —Thursday, information was lodged at the Newcastle Police-office that Wm. Levett, a tra veller to the firm of Johnson, Cammell, and Co., of Sheffield, and who was last seen on the 25th ult., in the George Hotel, in this town, has since been missing. His desk and trunks, which were at the George Hotel, have been opened, and his accounts found apparently correct. Levett is a young man, twenty-six years of age, sallow complexioned, and about the middle height.—Tyne Mercury Wednesday. HONESTY REWARDED.—On Thursday morning, be tween nine and ten o'clock, a poor man name Thomas Jennings, residing at Knightsbridge, picked up a purse in the Hammersmith. road, containing a five-pound note, four sovereigns, and a quantity of silver. He had not proceeded far when he met a lady seemingly in great anxiety, looking for something on the ground. Jennings inquired if she had lost anything, and being satisfied from her an swers that the purse and its contents were hers, heat once restored them, when the lady generowly presented him with one shilling as a reward for his honesty;l THE LATE SIR POWELL BUKTON.—It has been resolved to erect, by public subscription, a monument in Westmin ster Abbey to the memory of that distinguished philanthropist, Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton. It is intended to limit the subscription to 2/. 25., that all who have admired the indefatigable zeal of this great man, in his efforts to extinguish the slave trade, may have an opportunity of expressing their respect to his memory. Foremast amongst those who have expressed their concurrence in the object, are the Bishop of London and six other prelates ; Lord John Rus sell, Lord Ashley, the Duke of Sutherland, the Marquisses of Chol mondeley and Breadalbane, the Earls of Jermyn and Chichester, and one not less celebrated and esteemed than the object of the sub scription, but who has since gone to his final resting place —we mean Earl Grey, THE POTATO DISEASE The following letter is copied from the Bristol Mercury of Sept. 6:— " Sir,—My attention has been given to the disease whieh has shown itself so extensively amongst the growing potatoes. I find, in almost every instance, that the epidermis of the stalk below the sur face of the ground, is more or less in a state of decay, often disin tegrated, and completely rotten ; the leaves and branches accord with the state of that part of the stalk below the ground. The tuber, beneath the outer skin, is first spotted brown (like a bruised apple) : these spots extend and penetrate towards the centre, quite changing the nature of the potato. Those near the surface are most injured in some cases the lowest on the root are not at all affected, while the; upper ones are useless. I should therefore expect that the longer the crop remains in the land, the greater the injury will be. It seems, from the microscopic appearances, that the starch escapes injury for a long time after the skin and cellular parts are gone; and as the whole of the nutritive powers of the potato reside in the starch, I should recommend that wherever the disease has shown itself to any extent the crop should be dug whether ripe or not, and the starch ex tracted by the following simple process : " After washing the roots, let them be rasped fine and thrown into a large tub or other vessel ; pour a considerable quantity of water, and well agitate and rub the pulp with the hands ; all the starch or fecula will, from its great weight, fall to the bottom, while the skin and fibrous matter will be carried away by the water. Wash the starch with one or two more waters, allowing it to fall after each washing ; spread it upon cloths in a warm room to dry--in this way about 201 b. or 211bs. will be obtained from every 1001bs. of potatoes, and it contains as much nourishment as the original roots ; it will keep any length of time, and might be used with flour to make bread, pies, puddings, &c., as well as farinaceous spoon-meat. " This is much better than throwing away the diseased roots, and will furnish food for tens of thousands who might otherwise want it. " WILLIAM HERAPATIL" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—The free use of potatoes being inadvisable, disease haying destroyed so much of the crop, I have adopted rice as a substitute, and I find it most palateable and nutritious. It should be simply dressed by throwing it into boiling water, boiled for half an hour, and then strained ; serve it up instead of potatoes, and add gravy, pepper, and salt, according to taste.' These few remarks may draw attention to an article which, though generally used only for puddings in England, is the most important article of daily food to a great portion of the world.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, A HOUSEKEEPER. September 12, 1845. ACCIDENT AT GREENWICH PIER.—On Friday MT, Bedford held an inquest at the St. George, Hollen-street, Nardour street, Soho, on the body of Jane Redmore, aged sixty-four. On Sunday last, about two o'clock, deceased and her husband started from Ilungerford-bridge to Greenwich, which place they were about leaving in the evening, when deceased, in stepping from the pier into the boat, missed her footing and fell into the water. She was extricated in about two minutes, and conveyed on shore to the lied Lion, where she was placed in bed. On the following afternoon she was brought to town, when she appeared very ill. On Tuesday morning it was suggested that a medical man should be called in, to which she objected, and, rapidly sinking, died the same day at ten o'clock. A post mortem examination proved that death was the result of a diseased heart, no doubt accelerated by the excitement consequent on immersion in the water. Verdict—" That the de ceased died of disease of the heart, accelerated by falling into the water." FATAL EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESS.—On Friday morning, between two and three o'clock, a man named Arthur Wil m and his wife Mary, came home to their residence in Charles street, Drury-lane, in a state of intoxication. Wilmit in endeavour ing to carry his wife up stairs, who is a very heavy woman, slipped, and both of them falling down two flights of very steep stairs, were . . picked up in a state of insensibility. Medical assistance was pro cured, when it was ascertained that Wilmit's right arm was broken, and his wife's skull severely fractured. No hopes are entertained of the woman's recovery. THE Caors IN LANCASHIRE.—The gathering of the crops has made great progress in South Lancashire during the present week. The oats in general are carried, and the wheat is cut, and nearly ready for carrying. The disease amongst the potato crops has shown itself to some extent both in Lancashire and Cheshire, but hithert sit is not very serious. As far as we can learn, the Southport and Hann' district, from which Manchester receives large supvlies by canal, has escaped.—Leeda Mercury. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—The only improvement at present contemplated and in progress, are the general painting and whitening of windows, doors, halls, &c., and the enlargement of the refectory and chapel of that portion of the establishment occupied by the junior students. The Concursus, or public competition for the various vacant professors' chairs, commenced in the Great Hall of the College on Tuesday, the 9th inst. These chairs are—firstly, a Fourth Theology Professorship, created under the enlarged grant ; _ _ . . secondly, the Chair of Logic, Metaphysics, and Ethics, vacated by the elevation of 1)r. Whitehead to the Vice-Presidency; and, thirdly, the Chair of Humanity, void by the appointment of Dr. Russell to the newiy-created Professorship of Ecclesiastical History. The candi dates who have already declared themselves are, the Rev. Thomas Furlong, of the diocese of Ferric (lie entered the college in 1809, and, after a very distinguished course, was Junior Dean, and successively Professor of Humanity and Rhetoric and Belles Lettres)—the Rev. John 3PEvily, of the Archdiocese of Tuam (a distinguished student of Maynooth), at present Professor in St. Jarlath's College, Tuam—the Rev. John Guthrie (also an Alumnus of May nooth), at present curate of Ennistymon, Diocese of Kilfenora —the Rev. Daniel M'Gettigan, of the Diocese of Raphoe (after some years in Maynooth, he proceeded to Rome, where he was much distin guished), formerly Professor of the Irish College at Paris, and at present curate to his uncle, the Bishop of Raphoe—the Rev. Mr. M`Gargan, of the Diocese of Meath (a Maynooth student), at present Professor of Philosophy in the Irish College, Paris ; the ltev. Messrs. M`Quade (Kilmore), M'Carthy (Kerry), and M`Mahon (Clogher), at present students on the Dunboyue Establishment, and the Rev. Mr. Behan, of the Diocese of Meath, who has just completed the ordinary course of the College. It is generally believed, that from respect to his long standing, profound learning, and exalted piety, no one will compete with Dr. Furlong for the Chair of Theology ; but a very animated struggle is likely to take place amongst the seven juvenile competitors for the two other vacant Chairs The Concursus will close on Friday, the 12th inst., and the successful candidates will be I declared, in all probability, on the next day.—Dublin Paper. IMPORTANT RAILWAY AMALGAMATIONS. learn from undoubted authority that the Great Grimsby, the Shef field and Lincolnshire, and the East Lincolnshire Railways, on Thursday last amalgamated at par with the Sheffield and Manches ter Railway ; the last-mentioned railway paying 5 per cent. on all calls upon the three railways until they are made, which will be within two years.—Leeds Mercury. FOREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—The dif- ferent steam-ships which have arrived in the river from Rotterdaia during the last three or four days have brought their usual cargoes of live cattle, fruit, and different sorts of provisions, and those from the Belgian and French ports the usual quantities of edibles for con sumption in the metropolis, the whole of which have arrived in ex cellent condition, been found on landing to be of very good quality, and delivered immediately to their destinations. The Dutch sfeam- 653 686 1,425 513 732 2,841 4,7e8 1,703 9,166 2,228 18,263 18,027 1,538 6,477 704 8,563 909 3,358 7,2,7 13,731 1,050 1,907 502 1,895 5,892 6,796 653 783 7,005 1,037 ship Batavia, which arrived in the St. Katharine steam-wh - rf in the middle of the day on Wednesday, after the quickest passage she has made during the season, from Rotterdam, brought 70 head of horned cattle and 70 sheep, besides 340 packages of plums and other descriptions of fruit, a quantity of yeast, melons, and other kinds of Dutch produce. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Earl of Liverpool, from Ostend, on the same day, brought a large quantity of live poultry, eggs, butter, &c. The same Company's ship, William Joliffe, which arrived at the Brunswick-wharf, Blackwell, on the following day from Rotterdam, brought 9 oxen, 4 cows, 18 calves, and 64 sheep, a quan tity of yeast, and other Dutch produce. This vessel did not bring any fruit with her on this occasion. The Tourist, - from Calais, on the same day had a quantity of poultry and other articles ; and the Rainbow, from Havre, also brought in a quantity of fruit, eggs, and other French produce. It will be seen that the Rotterdam vessel, in the latter instance, did not bring any fruit, and the Havre vessel brought a very small quantity in comparison wills that which has been imported from that quarter for several weeks past, so that we may fairly conclude that the importation of stone fruit, pears, &c., from that anti other French ports has in a great measure ceased for the season. Notwithstanding the quantity of foreign cattle brought over to this country from Holland and other places, it is notorious that all descriptions and qualities of butcher's meat is dearer in all parts of the town titan it has been known for a considerable time ; but although there are various opinions expressed as to the cause, we believe that the real and correct one is not generally understood. The fact is, that the weather last winner was so severe, and there was such a scarcity in consequence of every kind of provender for cattle generally, that the proprietors of them found it politic to send them to market, and to slaughter rather than keep them on their hands, with the probability of their becoming impoverished and less valu able from the want of nourishing food. This caused a perfect glut of meat in the markets about the time, and the necessary re-action, scarcity, is now for the present taking its place. Another undoubted fact is, that the population of the country, particularly in the mid land counties and manufacturing districts, has gradually increased, and the supply of animal food is unequal to the demand, which even the extensive importation from the Continent is unable entirely to counteract, thus rendering it necessary, as it would appear, on the part of the owners of the scarce stock to advance their prices ac cordingly. This is the opinion of one well able to express it on such matters, and which will in a measure account for the present high price of meat in every district of the metropolis in particular, and generally throughout the country. Some time must elapse, with a continuation of favourable weather for grazing, &c., before any im portant reduction may be reasonably expected. FALL FROM A SCAFFOLD.—On Friday a serious accident occurred to a man named John Macdonald, aged 43, a brick layer. It appears that he was engaged on a scaffold erected in front of some new houses at Sydenham, and, whilst walking along the outer board, he missed his footing, and fell with fearful violnce to the ground. Ile was picked up quite insensible, and carried to the nearest surgeon's, who, after a few minutes, ordered his removal to the hos pital, whither he was taken in a cart. Upon examination his was found to have received a fracture of the right leg, and dislocation of the collar-bone. He is going on favourably. FIRES.—On Saturday, a tobacconist's shop in Albert-terrace, City-road, caught fire about one o'clock, and with its contents, was destroyed.—The stock of Mr. Aaron, a Sheffield dealer, James-street, Covent-garden, was also destroyed by fire on Saturday. The house is insured in the Royal Exchange. The guardians of the Greenwich Poor-law Union on Thursday resolved to send a deputation to the Poor-law Corn ' missloners, to urge on them the inexpediency of forming an asylum in that district, and to request them to rescind their order relative to 'Greenwich. Sir Hugh Munro has given liberty to his tenantry to shoot all kinds of game, on condition that they guard his estate against poachers.—Scotch Paper. RISE IN THE PRICE OF CATTLE.—At the fair of Athlone, and, indeed, at every fair held for the last fortnight, the price of cattle was on the advance. The new fair of this town, held on Monday last, was remarkably well attended, and almost every article offered for sale exchanged owners. Mulch cows and pigs were much sought after, and brought high prices. Roscommon Journal. STEAM FOR THE MILLION.—Some enterprising speculators, jealous of the success of the fourpenny fleet, have started an experimental squadron of twopenny steamers, which have been advertised as steam for the million; but as penny boats have since commenced running, we presume that " steam for the billion" will now be the cry of the company. If the mania for this kind of navigation increases, we don't know where the names are to be found for the various vessels that are being daily launched on the Battersea billows, to be tossed on the waves of Westminster, and find a haven at Hungerford. We have already had the Hower beds exhausted to provide titles for the Daisy, the Primrose, the Pink, and the Daffydowndilly; but we are told the Polyanthus is now upon the stocks, and the keel of the Crocus is already laid down in the Fulham Dockyards. The social relations have been used up by the iron boats, which rejoice in the titles of Bridegrooms, Brides, Bachelors, Fathers and Sons of the Thames; and the various shades of Moonlight, Daylight, and Twilight, have been applied to other craft belonging to the same Company. Entomology is now being resorted to, and the Ant and Bee were placed on the Adelphi station a few days ago to carry penny passengers. We have heard it whispered that geology is to supply another series of steamers, which will shortly come forth with the astounding names of Megatherium, Deinotherium, Ichtyosaurus, arid Anti-Megatherium, for the purpose of taking people at the rate of three a penny from Lambeth Palace to the Temple.—Punch. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.—A NEW DODGE.—The following ingenious trick was played off a few days ago on a noto rious receiver of stolen goods, by which he was defrauded out of some hundreds in a manner that precludes the possibility of his 'raking his loss the subject of judicial investigation. It would appear that a pack of swindlers have for some time past been pur. suing a very successful game amongst the pawnbrokers in the country by pledging metal watches, chains, seals, and other articles of a very superior manufacture (strongly plated with gold by the galvanic process) for the pure metal. The game having become completely "blown," the parties were left with the remainder of their stock, which they were unable to get rid of, upon which they anticipated realising upwards of 8001., but which intrinsically were not worth 1501. To get rid of them the following ruse was re sorted to. The goods were packed up and sent per mail to London. On their arrival one of the party called at the coach.office to which they were directed, and possessed himself of them. On the suc ceeding day another of the party called, and hearing they were gone, pretended they had been stolen. Bills were printed, de scribing the property, and offering a reward for their recovery. The party who had possession of them then called upon the receiver, and showing him a bill, led him to suppose he had stolen them, and by those means induced him to give nearly 4001. for the goods. The receiver kept them some time, and then gave them to a watch maker to alter their appearance, when, to his utter dismay, he was told that he bad been duped out of above 2001. SALMON FISHING.—The fishing in the Ness during the past week was excellent, with the rod in particular. One of the best anglers in the north informs us that our river has yielded better sport this season than it has done for five years previous, notwithstanding its extreme unproductiveness doting the summer. Another highly-accomplished angler, Mr. Lowe, has within the last five weeks caught forty-two salman with the rod in the river Ness. The price of salmon here is Bd. to 10d. per lb., grilse 6d., and trout 4d.—lnverness Courier. MILAN.—Miss Birch has made a most successful debdt at La Scala in a new opera, which is not spoken of in any favourable terms; but the audience testify their ap probation of the prima donna by calling her forward at the end of each act. Miss Birch is engaged to sing at the ap proaching Carnival; and she is busily engaged in studying a new part. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Of Major Yarburgie's two dark, or next to dark animals, I think Red Robin to be decidedlyithe beat, being by Gladiator, out of Brandy Snap, by Muley Moloch, a parentage which no one can say anything against. He is a strong, well.made, muscular brute, rather fine drawn, can beat Little Joh❑ easily, giving him 10Ibs., and can likewise beat the famous Miss Sarah a length, giving her 71bs. His qualities are not to be sneered at, for he will most pro. bably start and read his opponents a severe lesson on Wednesday next. Little John will not start, or if he should, will not win, which amounts to the same thing in the end. Miss Sarah—the public's first favourite—by Gladiator, out of Easter, by Brutandorf, was raised to that enviable position by merit, not by money, on the strength of her running at York, where she beat Miss Elis easily for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and nearly distanced Annandale, since which period she has been backed to win a very large stakes. lam inclined to place great faith in Miss Sarah, and expect to see her or Red Robin one of the first three. The Pacha I have never seen, but I understand upon good authority that he is a smart animal, and that he will beat more than beat him. Chertsey, June, and Miss Whip colt will not do at any price. The once-famed Scott's lot does not look very awful this year. The winter pet of last year, Kedger, is, I believe, looking and going well, but after the awful exhibition he has made, I cannot bring myself to believe that he has the shadow of a chance. The Baron, by Birdcatcher, out of Echidna, by Economist, on Irish ground ran very well—in fact, first rate; yet what a brute he proved to be at Liverpool. Certainly there is one thing to be said in his favour, he was not in very splendid condition at the ime, but even with Scott for his trainer, I do not think he will massage to get placed, much less win. _ The Connaught Ranger is—at least, so says rumour—very queer, and not expected to be a starter. There has been some noise about Fitaallen lately, but I imagine it will all end in puff. Duc-an-Durras, a son of Birdcatcher, out of Brandy Bet, at his present odds is well worth backing, being a regular flyer. Lord Miltewn has great hopes of winning with him. Ould Ireland, by Young Blacklock or Magpie, out of Miss Bang up, by Whalebone, is a splendid colt, a complete flyer ; and of the Irish lot I should say decidedly the best ; his running at Chester, taking into consideration that he was out of trim, was superlative. Ile ran well for the Cup, and beat Semiseria in a mile course. Mr. Irwin's colours will be in a very prominent position, for this smart colt is certain to finish in front. I now come to the last animal of any consequence among the starters, and he is the stout, muscular, and swift son of Picaroon, to wit, Pantasa, out of Acanthus, by Teniers. This first-rate spe cimen of horse flesh has not an equal among the three-year-olds, excepting Sweetmeat ; his pace is tremendous, strength prodigious, and his action beautiful. His race at Liverpool was a false one, for he was not at that time quite up to the mark, otherwise he would have won by a length or two. His running as a two-year old was very respectable ; in short, pick out a fault if you can. His master's colour (yellow) will carry an enormous amount of the metal of that colour; I should say,ot a rough guess, about 50,0001. is the sum that will have to be paid should he win. I am, Sir, yours, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. LONDON SESSIONS. (Sittings at Guildhall.) (Before the RECORDER, LORD MAYOR, and Aldermen.) The grand jury having been sworn, the RECORDER shortly ad dressed them. Thomas Rawlinson, Henry Porcas, 17, William Coffee, 16, and Henry Key, 16, were indicted for unlawfully assaulting Henry Thompson, on the !itli of September instant, in the West Kent Union. _ _ The defendants all pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. I'RENDERGAST stated the case, from which it appeared that the defendants had been inmates of the West London Union, and the complainant was the master. It would appear that one of the rules of the union was, that all the inmates who were in good health should rise at six o'clock in the morning, and be ready for breakfast at about twenty minutes past six o'clock. The defendants would not get up, although they were told that the breakfast would be put away. They went down a little before seven, when they in sisted on having their meal. Rawlinson said if they did not they would have a row. Rawlinson then struck the complainant a vio lent blow on the month with:his fist. Porcas threw a large tin can, which struck him on the temple, inflicting a wound, and struck him afterwards on the shoulder such a violent blow that he had been disabled ever since. Key and Coffee also took some cans and struck him several times. There were at least three dozen mugs and cans broken by being flung at the complainant, who had suffered most grievously front bodily injuries. The board of guardians had con sidered it a case which they were bound to take before the magis trates, who directed the present prosecution. Witnesses'were then called, who fully bore out the statement. The defendants respectively - denied the extent of the violence used, and said they had themselves been violently assaulted by the master and yard keeper. All the defendants were found Guilty, The RECORDER made inquiries and found that the whole of the prisoners had been in prison six or seven times for various offences. Alderman FAREBROTILER — About food—they say they only have four ounces of bread. Mr. Thompson said they had 12 ounces a day, with seven ounces of meat three days a week, soup three days, and pudding four days, besides other things. The RECORDER said that the prisoners had been found guilty of a most violent and outrageous assault. It was a case in which the magistrates had acted very properly in sending it to a public Court, where defence, if any, might be substantiated ; the Court felt bound to mark its sense of the case, and sentenced Rawlinson to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to enter into re cognizance in 40/. to keep the peace for three years ; Porcas three months ; and Coffee and Key, two months' imprisonment each. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A crowd of young women (about ten in number) were charged with being disorderly and creating a disturbance in the Strand. Policeman F 55 said that be found the prisoners laughing, shouting, and dancing, in the Strand, at about one o'clock that morning. He told them to be quiet, and to go away, but they only replied by using obscene language, and telling him if he took one of them he must take them all. He took one of them, the most disorderly, in custody, when the others followed him to the station. The girl he took to the station gave her name as Eliza Clark. The levity of the prisoners while in the dock was most disgraceful. All the efforts of the officer acting as gaoler to maintain order were unavailing. Policeman F 142 said that one of the prisoners, who gave her name as Elizabeth Davis, had said at the station that she had been in service in Tottenham-court-road, and that she had robbed her master and ran away. The inspector said that a shopkeeper in Tottenham-court-road had beat robbed by a servant, whose name was Jane Davis. The prisoner said that that was her real name. Mr. TWYFORD desired that this prisoner. should be put back, in order that inquiries might be made by the police concerning the robbery. The prisoners declined making any defence at all. Mr. TWYFORD said that as the conduct of the prisoner Clark ap peared to have been the most disorderly, he should sentence her to — Here the worthy magistrate was interrupted by a general exclama tion of "Oh no, Sir, she wasn't ; we were all alike, and she was no worse than the rest of us." Mr. TWYFORD said, that as none of them appeared to have been particularly criminal, and as in the case of each this was admitted to be the first offence, he should let them off this time, reminding them, however, that they were known at the office, and that this would weigh against them on any future occasion. They were ac cordingly discharged, except the prisoner Davis, who was detained upon the other charge. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Scrivener, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged- with assaulting police-constable No. 37, of the E division, in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that about half-past one o'clock this morn ing he saw the defendant looking about Great Portland-street, Port land-place, and on requesting him to " move on" he refused, alleging that he lived in the neighbourhood. Witness was at length obliged to take him into custody, on which he struck him a violent blow on the mouth, severely cutting his The defendant said that he lived in the neighbourhood, and con ceived that he had a right to walk about the public streets as long as he pleased without the police interfering with him. He solemnly denied striking the policeman : he had only put out his hand to keep him off on his seizing him Oho defendant) by the collar, which he did in a very rough and insulting manner. Mr. Ilaanwicx said it must go forth to the public that the police were nut to be resisted in the execution of their duty, they had a discretionary power in the execution of it, and any misconduct on their part the Police Commissioners and the magistrates had ample power to punish. It could not be tolerated that a party, because he chose to imagine that a police-constable was acting wrong, was di rectly to take the law in his own hands and knock the officer down. The defendant was then ordered to pay a fine of 20e. or ten days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK. John Williams, a respectable looking lad, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a silver snuff-box from the person of a gentleman unknown, near the Town-hall, in the Borough. A policeman stated that he was standing in front of the hustings at the Town-hall while the Member for the Borough was addressing the electors, when he saw the prisoner busily engaged in " diving" into the pockets of several gentlemen. He watched him, and saw him abstract a silver snuff-box from the pocket of a gentleman standing near the Hop Pole beer-shop. He seized the prisoner with the box in his hand, but the getleman refused to attend at the sta tion-house to make the charge. The policeman was asked whether the prisoner was known, and the reply was, that he was several times summarily convicted. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said he should remand the prisoner until Mon day, and if the owner of the snuff-box could be found he should commit him. Samuel Steer, another young thief, was charged with stealing a silk handkerchief near the same spot. The rrisoner was observed to take a silk handkerchief out of Mr. Bendor's pocket. The prisoner was seized on the spot, and several othersilk handkerchiefs were found in his possession. The prisoner was summarily convicted, and committed for a month. Several other pickpockets were charged with similar offences, and committed for a month each. Thomas Wilson, managing clerk in a factory at Whitechapel, was charged with intoxication. The defendant had been carousing at the conclusion of the elec tion, and finding, when he got out in the air, that he was unable to walk, he sat down on the step of a door, where he fell asleep, and when he awoke he found that he had been robbed of four 5/. notes. The MAGISTRATE said that the defendant had suffered such a severe loss that he should inflict no punishment, but recommended him in future to be inure cautious, and refrain from getting drunk. We would caution against giving the blighted potatoes to pigs without first paring off the dead parts. Rottenness is never wholesome, and the rottenness of disease cannot fail to be pernicious. Such food must check the growth and fattening of the animal, and injure the quality of Its tiesh.—,Devivs Gook. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—_A. report api<•arad h 1 yo:1:: pan, r ‘74 th , lib nst. rc siSecting the trial and conviction of a Mrs. Bland (an actress), at the Middlesex Sessions on a charge of picking pocets in the streets of London, and it having been reported (somewhat gratuitously) that the husband of that person was an actor in the Dublin Theatre, I beg you will lose no time in doing me an act of justice by publishing this letter, which is particularly called for, inasmuch as I have had the honour of being a member of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, under the management of J. W. Calcraft, Esq., for the period of three years, during which time my wife has never left Dublin, and is at the present moment residing in that city. I also beg to say that I am the only performer of the name of Bland connected with the Theatre Royal, Dublin, although there are two or three minor theatres in the city to which performers of the same name may possibly be attached. As it is sufficiently evident that the report in question is calculated to injure myself and wife, I trust you will comply with the request of, Sir, your obedient servant, _ _ „ - IIARCOURT BLAND, of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, Theatre Royal, Bristol, Sept. 12, 1845. The reporters for the press who followed in the Queen's route to Germany are in ecstacies at the hospitality of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, who furnished a house specially for their ac commodation, supplied them with carriages, opera boxes, servants, a splendid table, and all other requisites. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—L - adies, whether temporarily exposed to the scorching rays of the summer sun, or frequent ing the crowded saloon, or close assembly, will find Rowlanais Kalydor a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to comfort, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation from the com plexion, and immediately :affording the pleasing sensation at: tending restored elasticity of the skin. The numerous va rieties of cutaneous eruptions, sunburn freckles, tan, and dis colourations, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying and re freshing properties have obtained its selection by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, together with the elite of the aristocracy and haut ton. The high reputation it bears causes unprincipled shop keepers to offer their spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of the most deleterious ingredients, containing mineral astrin gents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repel lent action endangering health. It is therefore imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an engraving of exquisite beauty, from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co.) All others are fraudulent counterfeits. [ADVERTISEMENT.] — A. CURE FOR ALL BILIOUS COMPLAINTS BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— A destructive blue pill composed of calomel, taken at night, and followed by a drastic black draught the next morning, seems to be the favourite re medy for bilious complaints, when poison in fmall quantities is scarcely less injurious. For all liver, stomach, and bilious com plaints, let the patient take Holloway's admirable p ills, a p ure - herbal preparation, and for a time drink no wine, beer, or spirits, nor est of fruits or vegetables. By this course he will not only effectually cure himself, but will also feel himself younger and better in health than for years before.

Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genee ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Sen, submit the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but without _tame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all climates. Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner f the Savoy-steps, London. The Original Fish-sauc o e Warehouse FACT.—MECHI'S MAGIC STROP is 4. known to have sharpened razors when all other means had failed.

They are cheap, 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 4s. 6d., and the very large size ss. 6d. and 6s. 6d. each. The Magic Paste is 6d. and Is. per cake. Upwards of 150,000 strops and 1,500,000 of paste have been sold in the last six years, which is a pretty good proof of their excellence. There is a little fact, however, to notice which may prevent much disappoint ment and a good deal of pain. Sundry unprincipled persons, de sirous of sharing Mechi's good fortune without being entitled to it, have made up thousands of common strops, calling thorn " The Magic Strop," " The Doubie Magic Strop," " The Real Magic Strop," and so on, taking care not to put on " Mechi's Magic Strop." Now by noticing the name Mechi on each strop, with the address, No. 4, Leadenhall-street, London, you are sure to be right, as the law will not allow them to put Mechi's name on the spurious sort. These imitation strops are manufactured in large quantities at Sheffield, and shipped, to a considerable extent, to America and the colonies ; and it is to be feared that in too many Instances the buyers are not aware they are deceived, although they find them of no use in sharp ening, which is a considerable injury to Mecki's good name. Most respectable perfumers throughlut the United Kingdom will supply the genuine strop as cheap as if purchased at Mechi's.

Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank .God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.—`ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
