OLD COURT, (Mote the RECORDER.) CHARGE CF RAPE.— fleh2y Johnston, 21 years of age, described ag an engineer, but an ill-clothed, dirty looking man, was placed at the bar on en indictment charging him with feloniously and carnally knowing and abusing Catherine Davis, she being under 10 years of age. Mr. Platt conducted the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ripton. The evidence, which was cf a nature necessarily unfit for publication, went fully to establish the prisoner's guilt, and also that he had communicated a loathsome disease to the poor child, who was only five years of age. Mr. RirroN addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that an injury to the extent spoken to by the witnesses for the prosecution could not by possi bility have been inflicted on a child of such tender years. 'rho Ii,Ec3RDEn Laving summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for life. 131.ARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY AT A LICENSED VICTITALLER'S.—John a Hui, John Smith, and George Epps, were placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, the former prisoner charged with robbing his employer, Air. William Mitchell, land lord of the Mason's Arms, Oxford-market, and the two latter with aiding and assisting him iu committing the same. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Hobbs had been in hs service as potman for more than twelve mouths, and the utmost confidence was placed in him. For the last low months witness had missed at different times a considerable quantity of money from his till, and not having the least suspicion that the prisoner was the thief, he taxed his two sons with taking the money, which they denied. Witness then communicated with the police, and, by their advice, placed several marked pieces of money in the till. On Sunday morning, having previously ar ranged with two of the detective officers of the E divi sion, he let them in about six o'clock and secreted them in a room overlooking all the lower part of the house, and in about an hour afterwards the constable detected the whole of the three prisoners coming from his bar, anti took them into custody. Sargent, 65 H, said at six o'clock on Sunday morning he went in company with Sergeant Smith to the pro secutor's house, and secreted themselves in an empty room overlooking the bar and the lower part of the house. Shortly after seven o'clock the prisoner Smith came down stairs followed by Hobbs and the other prisoner, and after going into the tap-roam, Hobbs went to the bar-door and unlocked it by means of a key, which he took from his pocket. He then called to the other prisoners to come to him, and witness saw him draw a pot of ale and hand it to the prisoner Smith, who took it into the tap-room. The prisoner then passed a bottle of ginger-Leer to Epps, who also left the bar. Witness then saw the prisoner Hobbs go to a drawer and take out a quantity of cigars and tobacco, which he put into his pocket Ile then 7 heard the pri soner rattle about the money in the till, and as he was leaving the bar witness pounced upon him, and took him into custody. The other two prisoners wese taken in charge by Sergeant Smith. On searching Hobbs wit ness found three shillirgs, all marked money, a quantity of cigars, and about twenty screws of tobacco in his pockets, and en subsequently searching his box be found 21. 15s. in gold and silver, a cigar case full of :cigars, and several bottles of spirits; the marked money and the other property was identified by the prosecutor as having been taken from the bar. Wit ness thou conveyed him to the station. Sergeant Smith proved taking charge of the prisoners Smith and Epps in the tap-room. He found Smith with a pot of ale and Epps with a bottle of ginger -beer, which they were in the act of drinking. The prisoner Hobbs, in defence, said he was very sorry for wliat he had done. The other prisoners denied all knowledge of the transaction. Mr. HA HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS. Mr. Sims REeves made his debiit on Saturday eveninz. and the enthusiasm which was created in the crowded theatre by the appearance of the great Eng lish tenor in the orchestra was immense ; his recep tion was magnificent. lie was in excellent voice, and never have we heard Beethoven's far-famed " Ade laida" more beautifully rendered than it was on Sa turday evening by Mr. Sims Reeves. He afterwards sang Bellini's delicious " A to o care," with exquisite intensity of expression. The regular operatic quartette version of this de lightful composition was given, and Mr. Sims Reeves was admirably supported by Mrs. Alexander Newton, M. Jules Lefort, and M. Jules S,tocktiau , ;en. In the second part he sang Bllfe's beautiful ballad "In this old chair," with such intense pathos as to secure for it an unanimous and enthusiastic encore. Mademoiselle Angri sang Rossini's " Ciei Pit toso," from the opera of Zelmira. Her rich contralto tones told with immense effect in this far-famed cavatina, which she was called upon to repeat, as a matter of course. M.dame Biscaccianti sang Alexander Lee's beautiful aria " La Napolitaine" very smoothly and pleasingly, and was much applauded. The first part commenced with Beethoven's sympathy in C, the performance of which by the orchestra, under the excellent direction of Belle, was as near an approach to perfection as may be. The second part opened with the overture to Masaniello, which was performed with infinite spirit, and rapturously encored. The house was crowded. (From the Times) On Saturday evening her Msjesty's Theatre was better attended, perhaps, than on any night since the first of the concerts. This may be attributed to the more solid interest which the performances have lately excited. The great event of the evening was the appearance of Mr. Sims Reeves, who has been anxiously expected from the beginning of the season. There is no singer whatever who is sogreat a favourite at concerts addressed to the multitude. This was clearly shown by the lasting enthusiasm which he created at the " Wednesday Concerts" at Exeter-ball. His reception on Saturday night was fully commen surate with his popularity, and Beethoven's " Ade laide" and Balfe's ballad "In this old chair," which be sng with his wonted feeling, were heartily en cored. A concerto composed by M. Molique, and played for the first time by that admirable musician, was another interesting feature. The last movement is remarkably brilliant. The chorus of the Berlin Chapvl Royal is announced to appear on Monday, the 4th of November. Great things are anticipated of this celebrated vocal corps, who will introduce for the first time in this country several part-songs and other works composed by Mendelssohn while director of church music to his Majesty the King of Prussia. In the meanwhile such performances as those of lique, and the constant introduction of symphonies by the great masters (on Saturday we had Beethoven's symphony in C), give great weight to the instrumen tal department.

The Queen and younger members of the Royal Family walked this morning in the grounds of Os borne. OCT. 27. The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, walked early this morning in Osborne Park and grounds. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel the Hon. C. Grey and Lieut.-Colonel Seymour, reached Osborne, on return from York, about half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness, and the Princess Royal, and the Ladies ;and Gentlemen of the royal household, attended Divine service at Whip pingbarn Church this forenoon. Sir James Clark arrived yesterday afternoon at Osborne from London. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has eft tow n for Ireland. Lord John Ruisell returned to his residence, Pem broke Lcdge, York. Richmond-p ar k, on S a turday, from Dispatches from the Governors of Hong-Kong, Ceylon, South Australia, the Mauritius, and Malta, and also from tho Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office. Mayor TH E ofy ork , YORK Mr Seymour, our,BANQUET.on us Friday night, left Prince Albert, who was th e a the Mansion-house at eight o'clockt o o n f the Lord morning, and was accompanied to the railway station by the Lord Mayor, the Marquis of Abercorn, Colo nel Grey, Colonel Seymour, Mr. Dolby, and Mr. G. W. Seymour. Upon his departure his Royal High ness t lulnkecl the Lad Lady Mayores s f or the very satis factoryarrangementswhich ha I been made for his comfort and accommodation. The Prince, it is said, was much pleased with th e ant i que oak furn iture which the Lord Mayor bad h a d remove d from his own pri vate residence in order t o fi t up his Royal Hig hness's chamber. On crossing th e p l at f orm at t he York sta tion to enter the railway ca rr i age, the Princa °beery ing Lord J. Russell, the Marqui s of Clanricarde, a nd Earl Granville in a carriage at tac h e d to the special train which was to convey his R oya l Hi g hness to London , invited them into his owo carr i a e, in ceeded accordingly. The L or d Mayor of Lo n d o n took his departure an hour afterwards. The people of York flecked in great num b e rs on Saturday to ot we which had they not p ro an - see the Guildhall, to which it wa s announced that t r h em ey ovd w e eu . ld w he e a l d n m a jiptateddd here,Lefor what e the decorations were that e o f ' stating Mayor of Cork, Courkr, reportthe also spoke to the t oas t o f " The Mayors," and took occasion to express hi s regre t that our manufacturers. poy of o r the banqu e t, of Brad for d in preparing for the Exhibition, were seeking to pro duce fabrics of the finest character, and overlooking the coarser and medium description of goods used and consumed by the larger portion of the community in every part of the world • and h e a pp rehended that foreigners, not finding this class of goods exhibited, might he justified in concluding that England could not or would not produce them. The toast of " The Working Classes" was committed to Mr. Cobden, who said he had been reluctant to propose that particular toast, because he did not like to divide society into classes, and the Exhibition seas oue in which an particular portion of the com munity could have no advantage over the rest. Mr. Cobden added that the Great Exhibition of 1851 would tend to make the several portions of the com munity better acquainted with each other. Appre hensions had been expressed that the metropolis would be in danger in consequence of the influx of opera tives from the north of England ; our millions from the manufacturing districts would be conveyed to London next year, and then those who had hitherto supposed them to be but a ferocious mob would have an opportunity of judging by their courteous de meanour in Hyde-park how far they had been right in forming of them such an opinion. We should also be thus made better acquainted with foreigners ; and Mr. Cobden concluded with remarking that he was one who believed that if one thing was wanted more than another to conduce to peace, it was the bringing different nations more in contsct, and giving theta better opportunities of knowing each other. This morning, about half-past 3 o'clock, as police constable Goodwin, S 58, was on duty in the Chalcott road, near Primrose-hill, be obstrvcd a man, who on coming up to him (the constable) asked the way to Gloucester-road. Goodwin told him that he was walk ing away from it. He then asked the man what he bad in his hand, seeing that he was carrying a bag which appeared to contain a heavy bulk. He replied that it was his own property, and that he had worked for it. Goodwin remarked that Le did not believe him, and that he muss go to the station house. The man walked a short distance, when he Budd, nly inflicted a wound with a knifa upon the po liceman's face, which caused the blood to flow. Goodwin grasped hold of the fellow, who attempted to stab him in the abdomen, but was prevented. They struggled slid fell; while down he stabbed the policeman twice in the face. They got up, and a desperate struggle again visaed, the policeman beirg nearly exhausted from loss of blood and over-exertion. He called out loudly for assistance, upon which two of the policemen on the North-Western line went to him, when by their united assistance the man was taken to the station-house in Albany-street, where he gave the name of Williams. In searching him was found 25!. in silver and copper, consisting of crowns, half-crowns, shillings, &c. luquiries were instituted, when it was discovered that the money was the property of Mr. G. Seeton, landlord of the Dublin Castle, Park street, Camden-town, who had deposited the money in a cupboard in the bar parlour and in the ►ill. It is sup posed that the thief must have concealed himself in the taproom. The knife (a table-knife) with which he stabbed Goodwin was Mr. Beeton'e. Goodwin is under the doctor's "tenth. RAIN WATER AT RAILWAY STATIONS.—A corre spondent of the Bu i l der sa y s — H aving observed, in a recent number an article on the neglect of rain-water which falls on house-tops, it appeared to me that a much more important use than is there mentioned is also neglected, viz., with regard to locomotives. Your correspondent gives 14 gallons to the square foot per annum. Now, many railways have, not square feet, but acres of roof, and as one acr e is equal to 43,560 square feet, which gives 609,840 gallons of soli wa t er per annum on one acre of roof, the advantages which would follow are these:-Ist.

LUoICRouS MISTAKE.—A man near Leeds was sent one day last week, by a neighbouring woman who has lately bcen confined, with a message to the clerk of the church, requesting that she might have the ceremony of " churchity , " performed. The worthy frien d informed the clerk's wife that he wanted "a woman axing to church." The clerk's wife, supposing that he wanted the banns of mar riage published, asked his name, winch he gave, and also the name of the woman, which, being entered in the bo ok, was read publicly by the church functionary, to the no little as tonishment of the congregation, who were surprised to hear a man asked in church with'his neighbour's wife.

Near to the Manningtree Railway station are some heavy earthworks that form the first, and alas ! the only instalments of the long-promised Harwich branch line. For many long moatns they have excited the wonder of many, and the irony of not a few ; but during the whole period they have been silent monu ments reared over the grave of the richest re sources of which the Eastern Counties can bo.,st, and, viewed aright, are especially eloquent with the inscription, " Sacred to the memory of Harwich !" We have from time to time felt it our duty to call attention to the natural resources enjoyed by the port of Harwich, but which, from a series of fataliti, s , have for many years been utterly neglected. We purpose now to consider the greatest hardship under which Harwich is suffering—we mean the wa n t (f a railway connecting it with the towns in thi se districts and with the metropolis. Tnebe are bad times for a successful railway-making agitation, but there are peculiarities in the Harwich case that justify a vigorous enforcement of its claims in this respect. So long back as 1836 it was proposed to make a railway to this port, and a prospectus was issued which very fairly set forth its claims; a delay, how ever, in the construction of the Eastern Counties line, and other circumstances, led to its abandonment, when another proposition succeeded, having the sanction of the .Eastern Counties Company, whose line had then reached Colchester. These promoters also issued their prospectus, but vexatious Parliamen • tary difficulties beset them; "however, in 1845 an agreement was mutually entered into and signed by the Eastern Counties and Eastern :Union Companies, by which it was provided that the Eastern union Company should purchase the two-and. a-half miles of railway next to Colchester, and should make a railway branch from Manningtree to Harwich and a pier, which should be leased to the Eastern Counties Company at a rental of 4- per cent. on the cost. The latter company also covenanted to have certain privileges in running their trains from Colchester to Manningtree. Oa this agreement being made and signed on behalf of • the companies by the two respective secretaries, the most confident hopes were felt that at last all impediments had been removed, and that the works would rapidly progress. But again the friends of the undertaking were doomed to disappointment, for it was not until 1847—two years after this agreement had been signed—that Parliament gave its sanction to the construction of the railway. In this Act a clause was introduced for leasing the Harwich line, but which required the sanction of another meeting as to the specific terms. Now, although the Eastern Counties Company bad solemnly pledged itself to take a lease of the line, and by this pledge had encouraged the other company to seek for Parliamentary powers to construct it, they have, for reasons best known to themselves, never called this special meeting, without the agreement of which in the terms of the lease it is impossible that the Eastern Union Company can prcceed. The con sequence is, at the present moment the whole affair is at a dead lock, and the capital expended in it might as well be at the bottom of the harbour. Supposing that the terms originally proposed are now unsuitable, surely, if the Eastern Counties Company wished it, they could be most easily modified, and perhaps to the advantage of each ; in this case the seal of the company could at once be affixed to the agreement, and they would thus wipe their hands clear from any further charge of impeding this highly important undertaking. We trust the directors, standing as they do before a large body of influential, pledged, and we should hope conscientious proprietors, will Ere that it is their duty to use their immediate endeavours to ratify this lease. More than two years have already passed away since the time when this seal ought to have been affixed; a further delay may be entirely ruinous to the whole project. Should this company again seriously investigate this matter, and come to terms, we hope they will make this one essential provision, viz., that the works ho constructed at once. But, say the Eastern Counties directors, "We can do no good—if we r.llix our seal to this lease the Eastern Union Company will be unable, from want of funds, to construct the line." With all humility, we would reply, "gentlemen, this is no affair of yours —be good enough to transact your own business,and then we shall know where the responsibility rests. We must remove the first obstruction before we get to the second. By many of your recorded resolu tions you have stated your belief that this branch will greatly increase your traffic, you have pledged your selves to take a lease of it, and now refuse to do so; the Eastern Union Company is afraid to make the line without your promised guarantee, and thus the undertaking is blocked, and at your door lies the disgrace. If you will do your part we shall get out of a world of complexity, and shall speedily be enabled to see of what stuff the Eastern Union directors are made." The bad faith in not carrying out an undertaking to which these companies were solemnly pledged, and for which a large capital has actually been sub scribed, is rendered more notorious by the unusually powerful claims of Harwich and the whole of the eastern district. We really believe if this branch rail way had been made that the pleasure traffic on it would alone have soon paid the 4i per cent. interest on the outlay. Take the facts connected with this traffic during the past summer, and we shall find that the number of pleasure-seekers brought over the ' Eastern Union lines, and carried on by steamer from Ipswich to Harwich, has been enormous ; as many as 10,000 have thus visited the latter place in one week. And it must be borne in mind that this has been effected during the first summer when this peculiar traffic has been systematically developed, and without any aid from the Eastern Counties line, for that company never advertised a single excursion train to this sea-port, although other companies have realised immensely by cultivating this description of excursions. The delay i n e x ec u ti ng the pro mised work has also been dishonourable to the Go vernment, which, no doubt, on the faith of the pledge given, authorised an expenditure of no less than 100,0001. in order to preserve the magnificent har bour from injury ; but although all this has been done, and an Act of Parliament has been granted, this paltry distance of 10k miles of railway, on the making of which the most vital interests are sus pended, is still unmade. The bad land communica tion between Harwich and the metropolis was the only reason why Government removed away the packet station ; and it seems also past belief, when a main railway has for years almost skirted the port, that a branch has not been made to it. The whole genius of our commercial enterprise renders it certain that Harwish will eventually become the permanent packet station. Swift and certain communications between important points are now-a-days eagerly sought for. The following table, given to the Lords of the Treasury by their own Commissioners, will show how this port stands, by comparison, in this sea pect. Tne saving of time effected by the use of rail ways to Harwich, and from thence by steam to the following different places, is as follows : By steamer By railway from ;and :teamed Saving of Route.

Similar advantages would also be enjoyed by vessels voyaging from the north, which are now obliged to track the dangerous navigation of the Swirl, and to waste their time in threading the long and tedious channels of the Thames. Putting aside for a momsnt the fact that Harwich is the only good harbour on the eastern coast, that it will afford good shelter and anchorage to an immense fleet in any wind that blows, and that during visiteduingtheptahset se ason at least sixty-five tte;usand persons place as pleasure seekers, let us briefly advert to the circumstance that the port is admirably situated for the North Sea fishery ; 370 sails of smacks from Greenwich, Barking, Gravesend, and Torbay, are engaged at the Dogger, Well, and Brown Banks, Smith's Knoll, and the Galloper, in the pursuit of their unceasing trade, tnd the fish is from thence conveyed to London. Now all these vessels (those ' going to Whitstable excepted) are in the habit of calling at H.rwich for whelks and mussels for bait, which are kept here in large quantities. But, let the reader mark, that all the fishing-grounds we have named, with the exception of the Galloper, are ninety miles further from London than they are from Harwich. From a careful investigation into the facts of the case, it has been proved that 40,000 tons of fish are annually conveyed to London from the northern fishing sta tions, the whole of which might be at least 20 hours sooner in London if Harwich were provided with a railway. Of this quantity 15,000 tons are prime and 25,000 are inferior fish, but with ninety miles of sailing saved, hundreds of cargoes that are now destroyed by delay would be preserved, and many tons of fish that now reach the metropolis in an infe rior state would arrive there in first-rate condition. The saving and advantage to the companies engaged in the fisheries would be immense. They would get a better price for a better article, and would have the overwhelming advantage cf being first in the market. Nor would this be all. These railway facilities would so increase the fi,heries that the various ports on these coasts would at once embark in the enterprise, and thus would be developed one of the largest and richest resources with which Providence has blessed u , • The effect all this would have upon the railway, as a paying concern, must be obvious; lest, however, we should over-estimate it, we may state that Captain Washington, after a careful exa mination, arrived at the con clusion that the c on. vevance of fish would alone prod uce a railway reve nue of 1 1 000/. per week. In bscl,weather, it is known RDWlCBcommitted t em for trial. ______.......±......._ G BURGLARY' ND ATTE TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The heading (for motto it can hardly becalled) to ,his note is almost too strong for 's frail mortal like myself to use; for, although gifted with some slight pre tensions to feresight, or rather, I should say, to sound judgment in all matters connected with the turf, ioundeo, as they are, (in a close observation of men and character (highly necessary.), of horses, their powers of staying, pace, and other qua litics—on what is taken into but little consideration. the peculiar nature of the various courses they have to run over; and last, but not least, on first-class informa tion, these concomitants necessary to the making of a Frampton, a Mellish, a Bentincle, or a Roos; in otherwords,a crack judge of horst flesh and a success ful speculator in the ring, am I more or less possessed of, yet I am by no manner of means infallible, as my prog nostication on the Cevarewitch has testified. I selected Land"rave as the winner of th + gt race, and am still cf opinion that had not the jockey s strength failed him at the finish lie mast have won—as it was, he was only beaten half a length from the winner; Glauca admirably tooled by Chapple clearing Mr. Clark's chair first, by a neck from Essedarius, who with all the weight (Bst. 51b.), by the masterly handling of Alfrul Day, obtained a long neck the advantage of Landgrave; immediately in the rear of the lat:er was the Squire's Fugleman and Frottncer close together ; behind these and leading the ruck was Bolingbroke followed by Backbiterand Wanola ; the rest were scattered here, there, and everywhere. That rattling son of Melbourne end Pantalonade, the Prime Minister, one of my Derby team, verified my anticipations, and justified the good opinion I have entertained of him for the last year or two, in fact ever since he was foaled, by winning the Clearwell in a very off-hand style by two lengths, beating Confidence (to whom he gave 51br.., and a jibs. beating at the leash; by the way, Confidence is said to have given Prestige some 7lbs. and beaten her easily; verbum sap. Think of this performance, and' the Prf mit r's Derby chance!), Turtle who was third, and some ' half-dc zen others. This vic tory elevated him almost to the premiership in the Derby betting, the prices, 7 to 1 agst him, and 13 to 3 agst The Grecian. Those who took my advice a year ago and backed him (as I know some did) at 100 to 1, stand in a very enviable position. I still place unlimited confi dence in the Premier, and think he will bear down all opposition (if well) at the National Pastime Exhibition on the Downs f Epsom next Derby day. I understand Ilalford has been offered 5,0001. for him, refused it, and declared that 10,0001. Consols would not buy him! The Houghton Meeting at Newmarket commences on Monday, as usual, with the 50 Soya. Plate, and ha: five other sweepstakes (including the Criterion) and two matches on the list for that day, The Criterion Stakes of 30 soya. each, 20 ft., &c., up riing ground from end to end, has 38 subs., and the following I expect will show, viz.:—Ariosto, Bst 71b; Cvtieu!a, Sat 81o; Midas, Bst 131 b, or Phlegra, Bst 111 b; Mr. Merryman, Bat 71b; Confidence, Bst 51b; Scapulary, Bst 71b; Auspach, Bst sth; 800, Bst 71b, or Hernandez, Bst 131 b; and colt by Touchstone out of Mountain Sylph, Bst 71b; a few others may hate a" go" for the off-cf•ance; these are, Turpentine, Sat 71b; Nondescript, Bst 71b; Miserrima, Bst 81b; the Empress colt, Sst 71b; Confes sor, 8 , ! 7113; and Buckhcund, Sat 101 b. They will not, at any rate, affect the decision. 800 is the only "dark" nag of any importance, and should he be equal to Her nandez, may possibly defeat the Italian poet; but, ex cepting this contingency, I shall stake my sporting re putation on ARIOSTO, and expect to see 800, Confidence, and Mr. Merryman, in close attendance. _ _ _ The Cambridgeshire Sulk( s, the last " great go" of the season, " comes off" on Tuesday, and, there is every rea son to believe, a field but little inferior in number to that which started (when The Widow won this stake in 1847, when I had the pleasure of seeing the greatest number of varters (37) that ever ran for any race in England, charging up the course in grand array) will be brought to the post to contest the palm of victory. The following list includes all that will start. Those marked d are doubtful : Glauca, 4 yrs, Bst 31b ; Essedarius, 4 yrr, Bst 21b ; Trounctir, 6 yrs, Bst ; d W anota, 6 yrs, 7st 121 b ; Ras borough, 3 yrs, 7st 10Ib ; Loadatone, 5 yrs, 7st 711 , ; Thiel, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; d Strongbow, 4 yrs, 7st slb ; Fo gleman, 5 yrs, ist 5111 ; d Mildew, 3 yrs, 7st 51b ; The Moor, 5 yrs, 7st 51b ; Borneo, 4 yrs, 7st 41b ; llagley, 5 yrs, 7st 41b; d Backbiter, 5 yrs, 7st 41b; Miss Ann, 4 yrs, 7st 3lb ; d St. Rosalia, 4 yrs, 7st ; Post.

The first flight I imagine will consist Of Essedarius, Loadstoue, Fogleman, Borneo, Miss Ann, Landgrave, ilarriott, Italian, Docility, King of Oude, Clelia, and California. Landgrave claims my first attention; I will dispose of him in a few words—in my opinion, he could have won the Cesarewitcb, and he can win t h e Cambridgeshire; whether he will or not, the grewt arbiter of human events, Time, must decide. Load stone attracts all the aristocratic magnets; he will run very forward, but as the absolute victor, I cannot have him; his stable companion, Borneo, if run on his merits, and not sacrificed to Loadetone (as I expect he will be) would be very likely to do the-boys, and thus realise his ex-cognotnination. Dawson's hop-, The Italian, may run fourth or fifth, I cannot award him a nearer place to Fortune's temple. The mention of this hcrse's name the other night at one of our most sporting club-houses, started a theme, anything but sncrting, but one that is just now agitating that (in our favoured isle) all-power ful engine, the press; and that is the appointment of a Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, &c. We might say, in the immortal Shakspere's words— " Thou canst not, Cardinal, devise a name So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous, To charge me to thy control, as the Pope. Tell him this tale; and from the mouth of England, Add thus mu c h more ,—th a t no I ta li an p r i est Shall tithe or t o ll i n our d om i n i ons. " If the Itali an ' s c h ance o f w i nn i ng the Carebridgeshirp was no greater than the establishment of the Pope's su premacy in England, it would be small indeed; especially after the terrific battery which, I perceive by to-day's paper, was opened on the Wise-plan of Westminster from five can(n)on s of that ancient city. " But what's this to the purpose? you will say. Gentle reader, nothing; a mere speculation, For which my sole excuse is—'tis my way, Sometimes with, and sometimes without occasion, I write what's uppermost, without delay." The King of Oude I cannot fancy, his majesty is ‘, bought and sold." Rassborough is over-weighted, so sfsid is Fssedarius, but, notwithstanding, the latter will be extremely bandy. Sir R, Pigot's other nag, California, ought to be, at the aright (sst. 81b.) a per fect " diggins," a genuine gold mine; "come what will, (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.) The steamer Arctic sailed on her trial trip to-day. The American news, as read in New Orleans on Tuesday evening, ten minutes a head of time, gave, yesterday, increased firmness to the cotton market. There is no news of the California mails. The stock market continues active, and with ad vancing prices, especially the fancies. The Govern ment Sixes, '67, sold to-day at 1171 ; Indiana State Fives, 80; Ohio Sevens, 106. Quotations of prices for cotton, flour, wheat, and Indian corn are precisely as when the Cambria's mails left. The Dutch Consul at New Orleans was arrested on Saturday for a debt when going on board the steam-ship Africa. On his return to America, ulti mately an arrangement was come to, and he was re leased, but great indignation was expressed at the conduct of the sheriff's officer, who postponed the execution of his duty until the steamer had got under weigh. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MONEY MARKET.-With ra good demand, the rates of exchange to remit by the Boston steamer on Wednesday have been firm, and at an advance in rates. For sterling there has been considerable business done at 1 lOi to 1104 and 111 ; 110 k may be considered as the minimum rates for leading bills. Sales of produce bills have been made under these quotations. Cotton—Falcott's circular says. the sales of Saturday, the 12th,.were 1,600 bales at full prices. To•day, the sales reported on change were, 1,500 bales Atlantic cot ton; interior, none on sale. Gulf cottons, inferior none on sale. Ordinary to good ordinary Atlantic, 131 to 164; Gulf, 13k to 14. Middling to good middling, 14k to 14i; Gulf, 14i to 14k. Middling fair, 14i to 14k; Gulf, 14i to 15t. Fully fair to good `air, 15 to 15k; Gulf, 14. We have no improvement to notice in the advices from the south; on the contrary, tl-e estimates are reducing from every section, aid 2,100,000 bales, or a crop not varying materially from that of last season, appear to be the now general tenor of the advices received. To this we do not yet rubscribe, wishing to be more fully informed with regard to the districts tributary to New Orleans. The accounts of killing frosts at Memphis are confirmed by teegrapli from New Orleans, and the late quotations of middling au 1340., on Saturday the 12th; but the Europa's unfa vourable advices had not, we think, had their CI-et. Breadstutfs.—Flour—The demand 'for the common brands of State and Western flour was active for the east, but for export it was greatly restricted. Prices of the low and medium brands have improved materially; the amount of Canadian offering to-day as lass; also the demand for good brands here held at 4 doll,. 75c ; Michigan, and Ohio at 4 dolls. 62,1 c. to 4 dAs. 75c.; and pine Genesee, 5 dolls. 12;;c. to 5 dons. 18:1e.

A YOUTHFUL ANGLING FEAT.—A remarkable feat for a boy of nine years of age was accomplished on Saturday afternoon. Master R. Dennistoun, son of Richard Dennis toun, Esq., while. fishing with a trouting rod in the Tweed opposite Sharpitlaw Mill, hooked a large salmon, and, after a very fatiguing run of about two hours and a qUarter, suc ceeded in tending it, when it was found to be of the great weight of 2lblbs. The rod with which the fish was captured was a present to the youthful sportsman from the Duchess of Rosteliirghe; and this was the first occasion on which it had - been used— an auspicious handsel.—Kelso Chronicle. COLLISION ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— Last night (Sunday) an accident of a very alarming charac ter, which might have been attended with a serious loss of life, occurred on the South-Western Railway, near the Rich mond station. The 6.30 train from Waterloo to Windsor, having left at the usual time, proceeded as far as Richmond without meeting with any interruption, and shortly after wards a train of empty carriages came along the same line of metals—sufficient time having elapsed for the first train to have got clear away, but the damp state of the weather, and the great quantity of leaves which had fallen from the trees and settled upon the rails, made them extremely slippery, so that the Windsor train found some difficulty in getting up the incline over the river, and the consequence was that the empty train overtook the preceding one on the incline. In an instant a horse-box and carriage-truck were thrown com pletely over the wall into the park below. At the same time, a break-van was shattered to pieces. The guard of the damaged train, on hearing the train that was following behind him, jumped out of the van for the purpose of giving the signal for the engine- driver to stop, but before sufficient time had elapsed to do so, the collision occurred. Had he been in the van at the time, there is no doubt but he must have been killed. Although the passengers by the Windsor train were greatly terrified, no one sustained the slightest personal injury. EXIENEION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO HOLYHEAD —The line of electric telegraph front Crewe to Chester, Bir k e nhead, and Holyhead, is now being staked out by the Electric Telegraph Company. The completion of the wire to Holyhead will materially abridge the t ime now a er , in the transmission of itaelhgence from Dublin, which will t h e n only occupy between two and three hours in con veyance across channel by the packet. S OU TH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The Lord Mayor, acc ompanied by a distinguished party of gentlemen, will this day leave the London-bridge terminus of the South. Eastern Railway for Ashford, whence his Lordship will pro ceed along the new line for Hastings, and formally complete the works of that branch. by placing the closing brick in the tunnel between St. Leonards and Hastings. Every pre paration has been made for the due reception of his Lordship and party. THE RAILWAY CURE FOR DEAFNESS.—X very singular case of cure of deafness from travelling on the rail way has just come under our notice. Shortly alter the open ing of the Oxford and Banbury Railway an elderly lady, who had been perfectly deaf for nearly eight years previously, started by that railway from this city fur the put pose cf pay ing it visit to her relatives in Banbury. Having only once before travelled by rail, and then but a short distance, she got a friend to accompany her to the station, to procure her ticket, and to put her into the proper carriage, as she tell too nervous to go there alone. Tier friend accordingly saw her safely seated, and before leaving she observed to her that she was quite certain she should never have got properly off had not some one accompanied her. During her journey. what with the speed with which she travelled, the noise created by the train passing under the bridges, and the screaming of the whistle, her nervousness seemed to have so inrreaeed, that she suddenly felt something in her ear give way with a slight noise, and to her great joy she found, before arriving at Banbury, that her hearing was perfectly restored to her, and so it has continued, to the no small gratification of herself and her friends. The case has come uner our immediate obser vation, for we saw the lady shortly before she went to Ban bury, and we have see,l her since she came back; we can, therefore, vouch for the facts as we have stated them. — Oxford Journal. THE JENNY LIND MANlA.—Extravagant as is the mania raging among our Transatlantic neighbours about Jenny Lind, we question whether a more amusing instance of it was not furnished during her residence in this metro polis. Being on one occasion slightly indisposed, it was pro posed that she should try the water cure, and the hydro pathic establishment, Sudbrook-park , near.Richinond, was the place suggested. This got wind in certa.n quarters, and in a day or two the director was astonished to receive from numbers of individuals of rank and wealth proposals to enter the establishment immediately. Some were affected with premonitary symptoms of rheumatism, others were nervous, and all thought that a week or two's water treatment would be peculiarly efficacious in their cases, especially when united with pure air and cheerful society, and they requested to know if all the patients did not meet at the same table. The director was delighted, and foresaw a large accession of those watery enthusiasts who never cease declaiming on the tran quil delights of the wet sheet, and the boisterous exhilaration of the douche bath. But, alas ! sonic trifling circumstance altered Jenny's plans , and the visit to Sudhro o k was aban doned. More extraordinary cures than hydropatliv ever performed took place immediately. Rheumatisms fled with the rapidity of a charm, and the only nervousness exhibited by the ladies was lest they should he tsken at th e i r wor d s , and subjected to tydropathic Witrual Is BAnNum?—Jenny Lind 1.a5 given to the charities of Boston 10,000 dollars.

He gets more thanockete one-half rob of the preceeds of every concert. He has a lready p p 15.,.000 dollars. Where are his d ably charities? How much has he lent to the Lord? or does he consider such a claim from Heaven as a demand for black mail? Where is Barnum? A reward of 30 dollars will be paid for finding him.— New lark Hrald. S IR B. B. LYTToN.—There is a rumour current that Sir E. B. Lytton has sustained a dire calamity—the en tire loss of his hearing For some time one of Sir Edward's ears has been defective ; and it is stated that, whilst recently undergoing au operation at an aur i st ' s i n to wn, Sir Edwa r d suddenly lost the use of both ears, and has been in a very desponding Way ever since. We sincerely hope that the re inlay Vr9ve true,— 4incvinsitio tAronick {that if Harwich had a railway it would supply London with fish when it could come from no other source. So powerfully were the advantages of this port felt, that every fish factor in Billingsgate signed a petition that Harwich might be connected with the metropolis by railw,y, in order, first, that the public might have good ar d nu tatious fish ; second, that those engaged in the North Sea fisheries might nut be further injured ; and third, that this best nursery for seamen might nut be neglected. A petition for a railway was also signed by every mercantile firm in London connected with the northern trade ; it stated that this port was the best point of communication with Holland; that it could be entered in all weathers and in all tida.s ; that mails from Harwich would reach Holland by the time mails from London left the Thames; that lines from Hol land and Germany leading to Trieste, an important road to the Levant, India, and China, were being constructed, together with other advantages which we stay not now to enumerate—we may, however, just remark, th a t Li eutenant W ag h orn s p o k e warm l y i n favour of this route to Trieste. The report of the Go varntnent Commissioners was equally conclusive of the importance of Harwich, and the desirability of connect ing it by railway with the metropolis. In face, in 1849, the Government actually invited tenders for conveying mails from Harwich to the Continent; the offer of one party was accepted, but difficulties about the rail way defeated the project, and a renewal of the offer will not be made until the communication is com pleted. Regarding passenger traffic, Captain Wash ington ascertained that 1,500 annually left the Thames fur Hamburgb, Rotterdam, and Antwerp ; these, he contends, instead of suffering " two nights of bugs, bilge-water, and misery," might on a summer's morn ing take the rail at six o'clock, embark at Harwich at nine, and land at Rotterdam by daylight ! We might thus go on accumulating the evidence that renders a railway to Harwich a necessary thing, until we have tired out our readers' patience, and en larged this article to inconvenient length. The case as we have given it must for this week suffice. A railway to Harwich must be completed, and that speedily. Undeveloped resources in this district de mand it ; Government and the country, as a mark of good faith, demand it; the mail service demands it; travellers, and importers and exporters of goods, demand it; the northern fisheries demand it; the whole shipping interests demand it ; excurtionists demand it; and lastly, an Act of Parliament, capital raised, and solemn pledges given, all imperiously demand it.—lpswich Express. PONTIFICAL NEWS. (From Punch.) His Eminence Cardinal Pantaleone, Legate cf His Holiness, bas arrived at the Golden-cross, Charing cross; and is bearer of a rues,sage to the Chief of the British Government, demanding the usual acknowledg ment on the part of the Sovereign of Great Britain, which has been always and from all time a fief of the Holy See. In case of obstinate recusancy (which is not appre hended) his Eminence is commissioned to proclaim the Prince of Lucca as Sovereign of these islands, the Prince being direct and undoubted descendant of those legiti mate monarchs of England who were driven by rebellion, the one to death, and the other to exile, from their neigh bouring palace of Whitehall. The Holy Father has appointed Monsignor Snooks Lord Chancellor of England, vice Lord Truro, who has not resigned.

Wakley held an inquest at the GerTge the Fourth, Margaret-street, Clerkeuwell, ou George Tippell, aged 3t, a copper-plate printer, late of 33, Noble-street. Margaret Tippell, deceased's widow, stated that her husband, who had been very dispirited, through change of circum stances, had repeatedly threatened self•destruction ; and on one occasion attempted bleeding himself to death, by cutting his wrists right across and very deeply. On Tuesday morning she went to market, leaving deceased in bed. She returned in a short time, and finding the bedroom door fastened became alarmed, and calling on the police-con stable on duty, desired him to force open the door, which either through fear, or a dread of exceeding his duty, he refused doing until he got another constable, although several persons were present when she asked him to force the door. A full hour elapsed while he went in search of another constable and before the door was opened, when the husband was found hanging dead from the bed post. Mr. Money, the summoning officer, said the police officer was a young man who lately joined she force, which, perhaps, aecoueted fur hie hesitation in opening the door. The widow assured the Court of her confidence that her husband's life would have been saved had the door been opened when she requested it. The police-constable denied that he refused opening the door. The Coroner, on summing up, censured the constable's conduct, and expressed a hope that it would in future be a caution to him to act with more promptitude under similar circumstances, as in all probability deceased's life might have been saved had he in the first instance forced open deceased's door.
