IRELAND. THE POTATO DISTEMPER. Pt:m.lx, Nov. s.—The indefatigable trio of Potato Com anissioners have presented a third report to the Lord Lieu tenant upon the subject a their inquiries into the state of the crop. 'Phis document, as well as its predecessor, is some what prolix and not remarkable for the novelty of its sug gestions, many of which have been already laid before the ipoblic, unencumbered with the multiplicity of directions 'which overload the present report, and, therefore, being less complex, better adapted to the tastes of a people who are now by an unexpected calamity called up .n for the first time to follow a course of treatment foreign to their old and che rished customs. Indeed, so sensible are the learned pro fessors of this difficulty, that they wind up with the follow ing misgiving:— " There will be (they say), of course, a good deal of trouble in doing all that we have recommended, and, perhaps, you will not succeed very well at first ; but we are confident that all true Irish. men will exert themselves, and never let it be said that in Ireland the inhabitants wanted cimrage to meet difficulties against which other nations are successfully struggling." Subjoined is the rep4t : " TO HIS EXCELLENCY BARON HEYTESBURY, LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND, &c. " Board-room, Royal Dublin Society, Nov. 3. " My Lord, —We have had the honour to lay before your Ex cellency reports on the disease in the potato crop, which have been distributed extensively throughout the country. Representations, however, have been made to us, that the recommendations being in the form of reports, are not likely to be of that use which the more simple form of instructions might enable them to be. We have, therefore. thought it advisable to prepare the accompanying direc tions, in the hope that the methods recommended may be easily understood and promptly carried into execution. ", mall immediately lay before your Excellency our views upon the 'course which should have been pursued with regard to seed for a future year. " We have the honour to be, your faithful and obedient servants, "ROBERT KANE. "JOHN LINDLEY. "LYON PLAYFAIR, " ADVICE CONCERNING THE POTATO CROP TO THE FARMERS AND TO THE PEASANTRY OF IRELAND. "The dreadful disease that has attacked your potatoes is one, the effects of which you can only stop by strict attention to the ad. vice of those interested in your welfare. Many plans have been proposed, and after examining them all, we recommend the follow ing as the best. " All competent persons are of opinion that the first things to bear in mind are the following directions :. " I. Dig sour' potatoes in dry weather, if you can, and if you cannot, get them dry somehow as fast as you can. " 2. Keep them dry aid cool. " 3. Keep the bad potatoes separate from the good. "4. Do not pit your potatoes, Ai you have been accustomed to de in former years. "5. Recollect that if they got damp nothing can make them keep; and do not consider them dry unless the mould which sticks to them is like dust. " Do not take them into your houses, unless you want them for immediate use. " Digging and Drying.—As you dig the potatoes, lea►e them in the sun all day; and if you can, throw them upon straw, turning them over two or three times. At night you may 'gather them together Snd cover them with straw, so as to keep off frost. Next day take off the straw, spread them out, and give them the sun again. Do this for three days sunning, if the weather permit. If you put straw enough upon them at night, they will not suffer. " If the weather be unfavourable, and you have a dry loft or outhouse large enough to hold them, you may spread them thinly on the floor, allowing a free circulation of air, so as to dry them there. " They must be got dry. " Sorting the Potatoes—As soon as they are dry you must sort them. Pick them one by one, and put in one heap the very bad ones, in another those which are not so bad, and in a third those that are sonnd. Treat the bad potatoes as shall afterwards be di rected, and store the sound ones according to the dirctions given in the next paragraph. You will know the very bad potatoes by their unpleasant smell, and the second set by their skin look frig brown or dull, and not bright, as it generallydoes ; a very little practice will teach you how to distinguish them easily from each other. " Storing.—When the potatoes are quite dry and well sorted, proceed to store them thus :—Mark out on the ground a space six feet wide, and as long as you please. Dig a shallow trench two feet wide all round, and throw the mould upon the space, then level it and cover it over with a floor of turf-sod, set on their edges. On this sift or spread, very thinly, the dry mixtures, or any of the dry materials described below, and which you may call packing stuff. Also, get some dry slacked lime, and dust all the potatoes with It as well as you can. Then put one row of turf.sods, laid flat, on the top of the Boor, all round the sides, so as to form a broad edge, and within this spread the dry potatoes, mixed well with packing stuff, so as not to touch one another. When you have covered the floor in this manner up to the top of the sods, lay another row of soda all round the first, so that the half of each may rest on the bed of potatoes, and the other half on the first layer of soda ; this will make another ,edge one sod deep, which must be filled up with dry potatoes, and dry packing stuff, as before. Then lay another edge of sods in the same way, fill it again, and go on till the heap is made. When the building of this pit is finished; it may be covered with sods at the top, and will be ready ' for thatching. lf rightly made, it will look like the roof of a cot. tage cut into steps. " If you do net understand this, ask your landlord or your cler - gmiLkte explain its wining, and we are sure that they will give you every assistance ; also recollect that the recommendation ap plies only to sound potatoes, after being well dried. " You will lose nothing by applying these materials in storing, for the turf can be burnt as you use up the potatoes, and the mix ture of lime with dry clay or ashes, which you are afterwards directed to employ, will form a good manure, after having saved the potatoes. The only difference is, that you must get what you want now, instead of waiting till another time. " After you have completed the heap, thatch it so as to throw off the waters into the ditch and keep out the frost. " In districts where there may not be spare turf sufficient to form the pits in the above way, mate them ar follows:—)lark out the spot, and make the trench as before. Lay on the ground a door of stones about as large as apples, and over them as much heath, brushwood, or twigs as will just ewer the stones. On this or form the heaps of potatoes, and packing stuff, just as de scribed. for the turfpit. Cover the sides of the potatoes with more of the p4cking stuff, and thatch in the usual way. " We must again impress upon you that to pit potatoes in your usual way is certain destruction to them •' Packing Stuff—This, which Is of the greatest consequence, may be prepared in either of the following way. —some of you may prefer the one, some the other : "I irst Vfry.—Mtx a barrel of freshly burnt unslacked lime, with tw•o barrels of sand or arth. as dry as you possibly can get it. Th• lumps of lime should be broken into pieces as large at marbles, and U.:: mixture should be left 24 hours ; at the end of that time turn the heap well over, mixing the lime and sand (or other dry mate rials) till no lumps of lime can he found. " Second Way,—Mix well equal quantities of earth and turf, or dry sawdust ; put a few sods of lighted turf on the ground, place the mixture on them by degrees tills large heap is made in a few ' , lours the tire will have spread through the heap, which is then to be covered with earth so as to put out the fire. In fact, this Is to he managed just as if you were burning land. This burnt mixture forms a very good kind of packing stuff, perhaps as good as the mixture of lime with dry materials. •• What to do with bad potatoes.—When potatoes are only slightly diseased, that is, when the disease shows itself only under the skin in small dark spots, or, at most, spreading into the sub stance of the potato for about a quarter of an inch deep, with a yel low, or light brown, or blackish colour, and without any smelt, they may be eaten by the family without any danger. They should be peeled and the diseased parts pared off before they are boiled ; the parts cut off should be kept for making starch. Potatoes thus treated are wholsome and palateable, but should be used for food as quickly as possible, as it is not quite certain that they will .keer, long with the greatest care It is a pity to destroy potatoes for starch if they will other. wise keep. •Cut not the diseased parts, if it can easily be done, and dust over the cut parts with lime and the potato also. Get them dry as soon as you possihly can, and if you have nothouses or sheds you should keep the potatoes in them, also using the packing materials. In such cases you should allow the air to circulate freely in the sheds, and frequently examine your potatoes, which should not be laid in layers above two or three feet in height. If you turn them frequently during the flr►t two or three weeks, and keep them very dry in this way, they will probably keep. Although sheds or outhouses are to be preferred, it you have them not and cannot construct them nett of cheap trirterials, you should store the diseased potatoes by themselves, just as we have recommended you to store the sound ones. " If, with all your care, the diseased potatoes still get worse, dry them thor iughly iu kilns, or on hurdles placed over low turf fires, after 1: Is In cut the potatoes in , a two or three slices. It is only very 1,:44 potatoes that you should break up into starch. " Hens to save thc value of very bad potatoes.— Although no: busty knows how to make bad potatoes into good ones, or to prevent many of them from becoming worse, yet it is possible to extract from b - ol potatoes, or from bad parts of them, a great deal which is good. For this purpose proceed as follows :—Provide yourselves vviih the following thinsg,—a rasp or grate!, which may be made out-afasheet of tit, or even of sheet iron bent round, and punched full of holes with a nail—a common coarse linen cloth, of hair sieve, hand sieve, •r common cloth strainer— and a pail, or tub or two to hold water. " To make the bad potatoes useful wash them clean, and then rasp them into ne of the tubs of water; the firer they are rasped the more ford you will produce from them. Haying rasped a good many, take the cloth and place it on another tub, then put the pulp on the cloth and pour water on it, allowing the water to run through. You hare now two things to attend to, the pulp and the starch. " First attend to the pulp; squeeze out as much water as you can from what temains in the cloth. You should wash it, how. rver, WI no smell remains. After you have squeezed it pretty dry, cotnrete the drying on a griddle, over a slack fire, and when it is dry put it aside for use. " Next look to the milky water; it will then become clear, and the milkiness, which is starch, will have settled to the bottom Pour off the water gently till the starch Is tolerably well drained, then add more water, stir the whole well up, and let it settle again. As soon as it is again clear pour off the water, and when you have got rid of as much as you can, put the wet lumps of starch on a shelf or other place to dry. In a few days it will be, fit to pack up. ' Good wholesome bread may be made by mixing the starch with the dried pulp, peasmeal, beatinszal, oatmeal, or tour. You roust bear in mind that starch is not food by itself. " There will be, of course, a good deal of trouble In doing all that we have recommended, and perhaps you will not succeed •ery well at first ; but we arc confident that all title Irishmen will ellen themselves, and never let it be said that in Ireland the inhabitants %anted courage to meet difficulties against which other nations are successfully struggling. " ROBERT KANE " JOHN LINDLEY. " LYON PLAYFAIR. '" Board Room, Royal Dublin Society." THE MURDER OF MR. PATRICIE CLARKE. The Tipperary papers contain the proceedings had at the inquest held on Saturday on the body of the last victim to the core of Tip.. perarYi The corpse," say the reports, "presented a frightful appearance, the skull having been smashed in, and the face covered with blood and brains." After hearing evidence the jury returned the following ver. diet :—" That the said Patrick Clarke, Esq., came by his death in -consequence of a gunshot wonial indicted upon him in the after. noon of Friday, the 31st day of October, by some person or persons unknown, and of which wound he died." " Throughout Saturday, Sunday, and Monday," says the Finds. rotor. " the police continued to make the most energetic exertions for the discovery of the perpetrators ; but, up to the present time, without any prospect whatever of success." A reward of 3701., subscribed by the friends and relatives of the deceased, has been eirered for the discovery of the murderers, and a meeting of the magistrates of the county is convened for Monday next, at the Court-house of Nenagh. ANOTHER MURDER IN MAYO. A letter from Westport, published in the Maya Constitution, Say • " It is my painful duty to inform you that about eight o'clock on last (Saturday) night, as a man named Pete: Gibbons was leaving this town (Westport) for his residence near Kilboyne, he was waylaid opposite the Courthouse here, and received a blow of - a loaded atiek which broke his skull. He lived about two hours after receiving the blow. An inquest was held this day by the coroner, when a verdict of Wilful - murder' was returned against some person unknown. The authorities here ars on thetlert, and I it is to be hoped that the murderer ere long will be secured. There was much rioting during the night, and never did I see mare drunken persons in this once peaceable town. I should have s t a t e d that the unfortunate Gibbons had vole dispute with some pfsons at the I.lst fair of Ballyhane,and that they get him set for it 1. MUNCIII. Iti:tl•l4l . l4Y 444 4 irity WitiJA, &iv tj THE AFFAIRS OF THE PUNJAB U The late movements of the Indian army in the north western provinces, the powerful force which is already col lected in Meerut and on the banks of the Sutlej, the depar ture of the Governor-General from Calcutta, and the conti nual disturbances and insurrections which agitate the king dom of Lahore, have directed the attention of the world to the affairs of the Punjaub, and to the- crisis which seems to be approaching there. The whole force of the corps within reach of the north-western frontier is stated by the Indian papers to consist ofeight troops of European horse artillery, three troops of native horse artillery, six companies of European foot artillery, five companies of native foot artillery, ten companies of sappers and miners, two regiments of Euro pean cavalry, five regiments of native light cavalry, seven regiments of European light infantry, twenty-three regiments of native infantry, and three regiments of irregular ca valry, all which may be estimated to amount to a force of 32,000 infantry, 5,800 cavalry, and 140 guns. The Bengal Hurkaru, from which we borrow this statement, complains that the native regiments in this army are insufficiently pro vided with European officers, hot having above fifteen British officers of all ranks per regiment; but, without entering into a technical discussion on this point, we have no doubt that this army is one of the finest if not the very finest, ever assembled on the plains of India. The presence of such a force clearly denotes a great politi cal object, and a considerable amount of respect for the adversary we may have to encounter—that object is to re store the Punjaub to a state of tranquillity, and that adver sary is the Seikh army, which is still the best and most formidable of the native armies of Asia, but which is a permanent and insurmountable obstacle to the peaceable government of the country, and even to the security of our own frontier. If it were a mere question of acquisition of territory; we believe that there is not a di rector in Leadenhall-street, or a member of Council in India, or a statesman either here or there, who would not rather hold back than expose the Government of India to the charges and difficulties of a fresh conquest, and a still further ex tension of its dominions. But that neutrality which it has been the disposition of the Government to observe, during the sanguinary contests which have been going on for some years in Lahore, actually imposes upon us all the burdens of war. The strength of the Indian army has ever been adapted to the amount of force required to maintain our supremacy in the .country; but the foreign wars of the last seven years, the occupation of Sinde, and the necessity of maintaining a large army of observation to keep in check so formidable and uncertain a power on the other side of the Sutlej, have imposed very heavy and extraordinary burdens on the mili tary and financial resources of India. Such a state of things cannot be perpetual. No man will consent to maintain the fire brigade upon his own premises because his neighbour's house is continually in a blaze. The conflagration must be extinguished. In the present state of Lahore, every adven turer who wins the support of the army may extort from the feeble Government his own terms; and he enters the capital either to be bribed or assassinated—probably both. Such has been apparently the last turn in the fortunes of Prince Pe shore Singh. That enterprising personage, aftercapturing At tock arid defeating the troops sent against him from Lahore, has accepted terms offered to him by the Maharanee, mother of the young Raja ; for a jaghire of a lakh of rupees and the promise of a distinguished post at Court, he agreed to make his entry and submission at Lahore. On the approach of his rival, the Wuzeer retired with the large sums of money he had appropriated to himself. Peshora has, therefore, pro bably re-entered the capital a great man ; and at no distant period we may expect to learn that he is either the hero or the victim of some new tragedy. It is obvious that these incessant revolutions and convulsions are inherent in a bar barous state of society where no one man exercises a su preme and irresistible power. With them where absolute despotism ceases anarchy begins. But if the British rule in India has been distinguished by any virtue—if, as we believe it to have done, it has rendered the greatest services to the whole of the vast community it governs—those services con sist mainly in the substitution of a fixed authority and an en lightened deliberate control for the vicissitudesand excesses of Oriental despotism. The two forms of Government are not only hostile, but irreconcileable. They both of them aim at power, but the one snatches at its immediate fruits by ad venture and crime ; the other insures its permanence by a policy as temperate as it is certain and firm. Ere long, the Government of Lahore will invoke that support which they know to be the only secure protection of their lives and their rank. They will forfeit their independence, and a collision will take between the steadily advancing tide of civil Govern ment and British power, and the forces of the Seikh army. The cavalry and artillery of that army are not, we believe, materially inferior to our own native forces in those arms ; and in speaking of Asiatic troops it is impossible to give higher praise to an antagonist. But in this, as in all our Asiatic campaigns, the presence of even a small proportion of European troops turns the scale. In reality, the proportion of British muscle and British spirit has on no former occA sion been so considerable; and although the Seikh army may be very well prepared to fight a battle, and not to surrender its high reputation without a struggle, neither the condition of the Government of Lahore nor that of the troops can aft mit of the possibility of a protracted campaign. The nett mails will probably inform us whether any negotiations have actually been opened, which may lead to an invasion of the. Punjaub, and to the establishment of a settled form of go vernment there under a subsidiary treaty; or whether this event will be postponed until some fresh convulsion occurs. The departure of Sir Henry Hardinge from Calcutta, unac companied by any member of Council, but invested by a' special act of the Indian Government with the full powers of the Governor in Council during his visit to the north-western provinces, appears to encourage the former supposition. But the course of events in Lahore will doubtless accelerate or defer the final determination of the Governor-General.—Times. rIEUT. AGRoRN'S EXPRESS.—The Junraal des Dreads has the following relative to the transit of the India mail *a Trieste and Germany :—" The very rapid journey effected by Mr. Waghorn for the purpose of changing the route of the Indian mail, is in all respects of the highest importance for Franc; and calls for the solicitude of the Government. Letters which we have received from Trieste inform us that the Austrian Govern. ment, which aims at securing the advantage• which it would derive from the transit of the ?ninon mail ohs Trieste, encouraged and powerfully seconded this first attempt on the part of Mr. Waghorn. We repeat, then, that we attach the greatest importance to this trial of Mr. liliaghorn, and we deem it of a nature to merit the entire attention of the Government. The question which it gives rise to is of a primary interest for the country, for it remains to be seen whether France will preserve the transit •f the Indian mail, or whether she will suffer herself to be despoiled to the profit of Germany." The Delude insists upon the expediency of the Go. vernment resorting to every possible means for forwarding the line of railways from the Mediterranean to the English Channel, by which means, it says, the transit from Alexand-ia to London, which at present occupies 290 hours, might be performed is. 228 hours even allowing eight days for the transit from Alexandria to Marseilles The ficforme notices the journey accomplished by Mr. Vfaghorn, from Alexandria to London, in nine days and seventeen hours, thus anticipating the Indian mail through Marseilles, and adds the following observations :—" This fact by no means astonishes us. It is the consequence of the bad organisation of our steam-boats, their inferior rate of sailing; to be attributed to their faulty con struction and the obstinacy of the Minister of Commerce and the Board of Health at Marseilles, which will not modify the system of quarantine. We have repeated to satiety, that if a change be not effected in our sanitary code, France will lose the conveyariee of the Indian mails, the travellers who return from the East, and, shortly, the transit of merchandise. Already have travellers aban. doned our packtt-boats. terrified by the quarantine at Marseilles, and new the mails are about to escape us. Shall we watt until the trade of the East shall have taken the road through Germany to repeal or modify our sanitary laws, the antiquated remains of an cient prejudices ? Such a want of care in our Government cannot be conceived, for the question refers, not to political principles, but to national interests. Does our Government wish to sacrifice them to Austria and to England P The consequences of the obstinacy or the weakness of our Government are beginning already to affect our commerce with the East. In the year 1843 it amounted to 88.000,000, this year it has decreased to 80,000,000. It is the commencement of our commercial decadence." ASTRONOMICAL OBsERVAIIONs.—A Parliamentary document has just been printed, in answer to a return of Mr. Hume, for a copy of instructions to astronomers of the several ob servatories at home and abroad in the year 1837.8, with the number of volumes of astronomical observations made at each observatory since that year. It appears that no instructions were sent by the Board of Admiralty to the Astronomer Royal in 1837.8. One volume of astronomical observations is printe.t in each year by the Royal Observatory. A report is annually made in the month of lune to the Board of Visitors by the Astronomer Royal on the state of the observatory, and communicated to the Board of Ad miralty. It is added, that at the Royal Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope no astronomical observations have been printed since the year 1838, the astronomer and his assistants having been chiefly employed in the measurement of an arc of the meridian. Diffe rent volumes of astronomical observations made at Greenwich and elsewhere have been printed since 1837, under the superintendence of the Stationery-office. Tun TEN HOURS BILD.--MEETING OF DELEGATES. —On Saturday evening last a meeting of delegates from manufac turing towns was held at the school-room, in Great Ancoats street, in this town, and subsequently by adjournment at the Wood man's Hut, for the purpose of devising plans to promote the pass. ing of the Ten Hours Bill in the next session of Parliament. There wete delegates present from Glasgow, Bradford, Manchester, Bolton, Hyde, Bury, Oldham, Waterhead-mills, Lees, Preston, Dukinfield, Stockport, Chorley, Cuerden, Heywood. Rochdale, Wheelton, Newton, and some other places. Mr. John Fenton, jun., of Bury, was in the chair. The chairman of the Lancashire Central Short Time Committee submitted their plans for carrying on the agitation, which were put in the form of six propositions : "First, that a fund of 5001. be forthwith raised; second, that offices be taken in Manchester, te which all correspondence should be ad. dressed ; third, that a permanent secretary should be appointed to conduct the business; fourth, that petitions be sent to Par. liament from every mill in the kingdom; fifth, that petitions be procured from the clergy - and medical pro fession in each town, and in every case, whets prac ticable, headed by the dean, vicar, or bishop, u the case may be ; sixth, that petitions be procured frem as many mill owners as possible in favour of an abridgment of the hours of fac tory labour, and that memorials be sent to the agricultural Mem bers, praying them not to prevent the manufacturing Members from improving the condition of their own workpeople." The committee was induced to petition agricultural Members, because they found that in the great division In March, 1844, when the 10 hours' principle was three times carried, there were 23 Mem bers representing tl'e manufacturing districts who voted in favour of 10 hours, and but 10 against it ; therefore it was the Members representing agricultural districts, on the subsequent division when Ministers threatened to resign, who prevented the passing of the Bill. Two resolutions were passed :—l. " That the above plans be adopted ;" 2. " That the necessary funds be forthwith raised to carry them into execution, and that the committee be authorised immediately to take offices, and to appoint a secretary to perform the increased duties which must necessarily devolve upon them." Thanks being:voted to the Central Short time Com mittee, Lord Ashley, and the chairman, the proceedinga term n noted about 11 o'clock.—Mecherter Guardian. ROBDEBZ Fliursday informa tion was circulated throughout the divisions of the Metropolitan Police, that on Wednesday evening, about half-past six o'clock, Mrs. Cantrill, a female, living at No. 12, Bowling-green-buildings, King' 'Jane, New-road, Paddington, was proceeding to Kensing. ton, she entered Hyde.park by Victoria-gate, Bayswater. and walked along the road outside of Kensington-gardens to the bridge near the Serpentine. When she had gone a short distance she per ceived that a man was following her, and when she arrived near the magaaine on the north bank of the Serpentine, which is a very lonely part of the road, the man came up to her, and pulling out a pistol from his pocket, presented it at her, at the same thee saying, 0 I mean to do something tonight, for I have a wife and family starving at home.' Mrs. Cantrill, although dreadfully alarmed, told him not to use the pistol, and she would give him what she had, which was only a few halfpence, and on her giving him what she had with her, he decamped the way he came. She describes the man as about five feet eight inches high,and; dark ecsapleaton. DEATH CAUSED BY A FISH-BONE —Ott Tillirtday, Mr. Wakley, M. P., held an inquest at the King's Arms, Srede. rick-street, Regent's-park, on the body of Mary Ann Powell, aged fifty. The deceased, who was a very corpulent woman, and re. sided with her family at No. 19, Fitsroy-place, New-road, was, on the morning of Wednesday last, sitting at breakfast, when a bone of a fish sticking in her throat brought on a violent fit of coughing, whieh terminated in blood Rowing copiously from her noitrils and mouth. A surgeon was sent for, who pronounced her to hare broken a blood.vessel, and being unable to stay the bleed. ing, deceased sunk under it, and in half an hour died perfectly gen.

Smog, FRIDAY EVENING —The inquest on the body of unfortunate man, Humphrey Willis, who was killed yesterday morning by being run over by the mail train from Birmingham to Gloucester, has been held this afternoon before Mr. Hughes, co roner, and a respectable jury. After •iewing the body, and a short address from the coroner, the jury proceeded at once to examine the witnesses. The body presented a most horrible spectacle, being smashed to pieces, and defaced from all human resemblance. Mr. Saunders, secretary, Mr. Beale, one of the direct ors , an d Mr. Connell, superintendent of the goods department, attended the inquiry. Mr. W. Davis, shoemaker, of Stoke, was the first witness exa mined. He was with the deceased drinking en Wednesday night until half.past eleven o'clock, when they left together. The de ceased expressed his intention of proceeding home up the line, as he bad done before, and witness tried to dissuade him from so doing, but without avail. The deceased said he knew what he was about, and that by the linehe should save some distance in travel ling. Witness was perfectly sober, and the deceased did not appear drunk. They had been drinking ale together, but the deceased had had two noggins of gin. The next witness was a man named Shellard, who had also been with the deceased and the last witness drinking, on Wednesday night. He corroborated the conversation spoken to by the last witness, as having taken place between Davis and Willis. He (witness) knew it was useless to attempt to dissuade Willis from going up the rail, as he was an obstinate man, and would have his own way. He had known him frequently pass up the rail when trains were due at night, and when he was not sober. The de ceased appeared fresh, but not drunk, on Wednesday night. Edward Cheshire, the engitte.driver of the mail train on Wed neoday night, deposed that he left Birmingham with the train at ten minutes past one o'clock, and on approaching Stoke station he observed a man standing on the line. He immediately shut off the steam and put on the whistle, with the object of alarming the party and stopping the train. They stopped In about two hundred yards, but the deceased being only abot.t thirty yards off when wit. ness first saw him, and not moving oat of the way, the train passed over him. Witness sent the fireman and guard back to the spot, where they found the deceased lying on the line. It was a dark night, and raining at the time. Richard Barnett, the fireman, spoke to similar facts as the driver of the train, and described the appearance of the body when picked up. The train was proceeding at a speed of about 28 or 30 miles an hour; not faster than usual for a mail train. The rails were slippery from the rain, and the train not easily stopped. Mr. Stubbs, manager at the Stoke station, stated that he had repeatedly warned the deceased off the line. The CORONER having summed up, the jury unanimously re turned a verdict of " Accidental death," inflicting a deodand of one shilling only on the engine. At the same time the jury ex. pressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the conduct of those who had the charge of the engine. It was stated in the course of the proceedings that no report had been made to the board of Directors of the repeated tree. passes on the line by pedestrians. The Company intend burying the deceased at their own cost. He has left a widow, but no children. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PRIZE MONET roe THE GROWLER STEAM SLOOT.—Commander Claude M.

Vincent, 120, Capt. R. F. Rowley, was paid off at Portsmouth on Thursday; Rear-Admiral Hyde Parket, C. 8., au. perintended the payment. She was re.cominisxioned yesterday morning by Captain Sir Richard Grant, and the lag of the Corn mander.in.Chief Admiral Sir Charles Ogle was transferred to her from the Excellent, and was saluted by the St. Vincent, on its be ing hoisted, with 15 guns. She has her lower yard and top-mast struck for the winter. The Scourge bomb steam.sloop was brought under the shears at Portsmouth, on Thursday, and received her ordnance, via., a 13. inch mortar aft and a long 56-pounder pivot.gun forward. The former weighs upwards of five tons, the mortar bed five tons, and the mass of woodwork upright and cross pieces to support the bed, another five tons. Altogether, the mortar and its supports weigh about 15 tons. The mortar lies considerably above the deck, and can be fired in any direction except directly a-head. The men from the Excellent are fitting the pivot-gun gear, and taking in stores of different sorts. The scourge will proceed under the im mediate superintendance of Commodore Chads of the Excellent, and Captain Stevens of the Royal Marine Artillery, outside the Wight, to try what effect the firing of the mortar may have on the frame of the vessel and on the machinery of the engine. The Sampson steam-frigate has her topmasts up, and is nearly all *taunt in Sheerness basin. The Eclair steam-sloop, Lieut. Commander Henry C. Marston, still remains at Stangatt Creek. Her books are being got ready for paying off by the clerks of the Ocean. Mr. Heath, the assistant. surgeon of the Dwarf stesm-vessel, has returned from the Revenge, 72, to his duties on board his own ship. On. Mogen, Coffey, and Stewart, are at Stangate Creek. The Rattler screw steam-sloop, Commander Smith, will undergo several alterations at Portsmouth, previous to her sailing for the coast of Africa. Her inizim-mast is to come out and be taken away, and her main-mast shifted six feet further aft. We should like to know how many efficient vessels the money expended on this miserable trough of the surveyor's designing, would add to the Navy list. The African steam. tug has left Sheerness for Brighton. SACRED HA RIVIoNIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL. The Sacred Harmonic Society commenced their season on Friday evening, with Handei's Oratorio of Israel us Agyalt. The choruses of this sublime composition—and they form the principal feature of the oratorio—were magnificently given. We should like, how ever, to hear them as originally instrumented by Handel himself; ana we mistake not if the absence of those loudly.braying brass instruments which hove been invented since the days of Handel would not, by affording greater scope for the development of vocal effects, greatly increase the effectiveness of the music by increasing its expression. We hope that the Sacred Harmonic Society will, during the course of the season, give us some of Hander's oratorios from the original score. Tile result of such an experiment would be to raise the veneration with which every lover of music regards the divine genius of Handel to a higher pitch than ever. The solo performers were Miss Itainforth, Miss M. D. Hawes, Miss Messent, Mr. Arthur, Mr. Letter, and Mr. H. Phillips. it was the first public appearance of the latter since his return from his ♦merict.n tour. He seemed in excellent health, was in excel lent voice, mid sang with great taste and purity. He was warmly greeted aad was rapturously encored in the duet, " The Lord is a man of war," in which he was well supported by Ledger. The hail was completely tilled by a most attentive and thoroughly musical audienCe such an audience as one only meets with at the Sacred Harmonic Society, an audience whose earnestness is quite delightful. DEATH OF LORD STUART DE ROTHESAT.--ThiS distinguished diplomatist expired on Thursday, at his seat, High- Cliff, near Christchurch, Hampshire. His Lordship's health had been for some time , in a declining state, and he had, in consequence, been compelled to resign the office of ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh, to which he had been appointed in October, 1841, and which he had retained for four years. His Lordship was born on the 2,1 January, 1779, and was the eldest son of Sir Charles Stuart, lilt. At his first outset in life, Mr. Stuart devoted himself to a diplomatic career, the duties of which he entered on under the auspices of the late Lord Castlereagh. Ile was for some time minister at the Hague, and in consequence of his diplomatic services during the late war the Prince Regent, in 1812, bestowed upon him the Civil Grand Cross of the Bath. In 1816 Sir Charles Stuart married the third daughter of the late Earl of Hardwicke, by whom he had two daughters, who survive him—the Viscountess Calming and the Maraioness of Water ford. Having .been ambassador at several foreign Courts, and having for a long time represented his Sovereign at the Court of the French King, Sir Charles Stuart was, during the short administration of Lord Goderich, raised to the peerage by the title of Lord Stuart de itothesay. As his Lordship has died without issue male the title becomes extinct. WESTMINSTER COURT OF SEwEßs.—The usual fortnightly meeting of the Commissioners of this -Board was held on Friday atthe Court-house, Soho-square, E. Willoughby, Esq., in the chair. Mr. liirtSlett, the cler , read a letter from Sir James Graham, as follows :—" Whitehall, Nov. 1, 1845.--Sir: I am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to call your- attention to my letter of August 13th last, and Ao request that you will move the Com missions of Sewers for Westminster and part of Middlesex to favour Sir James Graham, at their earliest convenience, with their observations on the allegations contained in the pam phlet of Mr. Leslle;-1 am, Sir, Sze., lee., H. MAN.NERS SUTTON.— I. C. Hirtslett, Esq., Clerk -to the Commissioners of Sewers of Westminster." The Chairman said the committee appointed in September last had been very busily engaged, and had only very re cently been enabled to prepare their report, which would be pre sented to the court at their tie -.t meeting. An answer to Sir J. Graham was then agreed to. On a subsequent discussion, arising out of the same question, Mr. Leslie objected to the power laid claim to by the chairman of acting on his own responsibility. There was no law empowering the chairman to act alone, but there was a law requiring six commissioners to form a court for the transaction of business. Mr. Donaldson gave a notice of motion for the next court, which would bring the whole matter under discussion. The court then adjourned. THE CASE OF THE FELICIDADE.—This case, which must be still fresh in the memories of our readers, will be argued before the twelve Judges on Saturday, the 15th instant. We under stand that the briefs for the prisoners in the argument have been de livered to Mr. Sergeant Manning and Mr. R. P. Collier. who con ducted their defence on the trial, and we doubt not, from the zeal and ability manifested by both those gentlemen on that occasion, that the cause of the prisoners will be well cared for in their hands. The case will excite much interest. The solicitors for the Admiralty are concerned for the Crown, and Mr. Edmonds, of Plymouth, lot the defence. We have not yet heard who is retained on behalf of the Crown, but probably Mr. Godson, Q.C., who so ably conducted the case for the prosecution, without throwing into it any feeling of asperity or harshness.—Plymoulh Journal. THE TRICKSTER REWARDED.—A few days ago, as a Brighton tradesman was travelling to London by rail, he was detected in the repetition of what he he had previously been heard to denominate the " artful dodge" of riding as a first-class passenger and paying only the third-class fare. The modus operandi was to take a third-class ticket, and ride in a corresponding carriage as far as the Hassocks, and then, on the stoppage of the train, to transfer himself to a first-class vehicle, having ridden in which to New Cross, he would again alight, and testune his old quarters. On the occasion alluded to, however, the biter was bitten ; for on at tempting to execute the last part of this scheme, one of the guards, who had observed the first past of the manoeuvre, and consequently been on the Lookout, touched him on the shoulder, and delicately hinted that the gentleman had forgotten his carriage. To the great amusement of the third-class passengers, the '• artful dodger" was bowed in• o the quarters which he had just vacated in the drat-class carriage; and, on arriving at the terminus, was obliged to pay the difference between the first and the third-class ticket, thus proving himself to be penny wise but pound foolish. s , • FIRE NEAR NOTTINGHAM.--011 Thursday last a tremendous fire took place upon a farm, the property of the Duke of St. Albans, in the occupation of Mr. lleardsall, at Bestwood-park, six miles from Nottin.: ham, which ha. - 3 levelled fourteen litacks of corn and straw with the ground. At ten o'clock in the forenoon;Mrs. Beardsall happened to go into the etackeVaed. when she saw a villume of stroke issuing from the middle cf a straw-stack, whiels had been thrailied on the preceding day, and she instantly gave au alarm. Be -11)re any help could be afforded, the flames had burst lOrth and caught the adj,ining stacks, and in a very short time fourteen stacks were all in flames together. Ext , ressee were sent off to Nottingham and Arnold for engines, an I very speedily two were on the spot, but the want of water rendered them of little use, and the whole property fell a prey to the devouring element. There were four burley stacks, a very largo wheat stack, two i,at stacks, one pea stack, and the re mainder 'straw stacks. The cause of this disastrous tire cannot be discovered. The property was insured in the Sun fire-office to the amount of .5001., but this sum will not cover thu damage. -...—..._ HARMONIC BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.— The first meeting of this praiseworthy Association took place on Thursday evening, :t;r. Charles Sloman in the chair. The meeting was called for the purpose of revising the laws pursuant to the Act of Enrollment. It appeared from the statement of 31r. Willey, the secretary, that during the last three years the Society had expended 3701. amo ug distressed members of the singing profession, and that they were fa vourably progressing, having now 1701. in the funds. The Society is founded ti,:on the same principles as that of the Theatrical Gilt Fund Society. THE TAY FERRIES.—At a meetir g of the Commis sioners of Supply of the county of Fife, on Tuesday last, Hr. G. Makgill gave in a report on the Tay ferries. He said the Commis sioners would all be aware that the Edinburga and Northern Itailw4 Company had failed to obtain a lease of these ferries, and that they had fallen into the hands of the Scottish Central Company.

REVIEW'OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. Three weeks of unusually fine weather has enabled farmers in the north to save a large quantity of grain, which of much of th e corn l ate l y carr i e d must at the close of last month was give n over as t ota ll y l os t. Thatbe indifferent the qu cannot, 4iity when the repeated drenchings it has undergone be called in mind, be for a moment questioned; still it has been got in, and will, therefore, in some way or other, help to furnish food for man or beast, which, consider ing the deficiency of the crop of wheat as a whole, and the extensive failure of potatoes, is something gained. This slight improvement in our prospects has not been without its in fluence on the trade, and farmers having (as is usual at this period of the year) threshed out pretty freely, a check has been given to the upward movement in-prices. We foresaw that this was likely to occur, and intimated thesame last week ; but we then stated, and still think, that there is nothing in the position of affairs likely to cause any material or permanent fall in the value:of bread stuffs: So far frcm it having been discovered that the yield of wheat is better than expected, complaints of the number of quarters procured from a given quantity of straw are be coming more general in proportion as threshing is proceeded with ; and the fact that there is a difference of at least 20s. per quarter between the best and the, worst samples of this year's produce proves plainly how wretched must be the quality of the latter. Meanwhile the investigations which are being proceeded with to discover the extent of the pos tato disease, have brought nothing to light which warrants us in stating that the alarm or that : subject is ill-founded, • indeed the reports from all quarters are of a nature to confirm our worst fears; and however quiet the trade at present may be, we cannot divest ourselves of th e apprehension that the prices of bread stuffs will ultimately rise to a point threaten ing serious inconvenience to the poerer classes of the com ' munity. • The very inferior quality of a large proportion of the wheat of this year's growth has hitherto prevented the duty receding more than a step or two, and from present appearances it is questionable whether the article will for some time be admissible below 12s. per quarter; this is, under existing circumstances, unfortunate, inasmuch as the tardy manner in which the duty diminishes will give the opponents of the law grounds for -raising an eatery which may have some effect on our expediency Miniater. There has lately been a great deal of talk about in order in Council to admit corn free; and though we do not believe that any such pro ject . is contemplated; still it indicate; the course of public feeling. Had the quality of the new produce been only - tolerably good, the duty would undifubtedly ere now have fallen to 104 per qr.. or perhaps lower, in the regular course of things, the finer sorts of fed having for some weeks past .been selling at 70s. and upwards, whilst choice samples of white have realised as much as 80s. per qr. at several, of the principal consumi ng mar k e t s . It yma readily be conceived, therefore,. how bad must be the quality' of the common runs, to have kept the-general average below 60s. per quarter; such, has, however, been the case, the last weekly return far the kingdom being only 595. 2d. per quar ter. All the Wheat lately received from abroad has, there fore, been landed under lock, and that which may still come to hand is likely also to be stored in bond, importers feeling perfectly satisfied that, sooner or later, a foreign supply will be needed, and that, ultimately they will be enabled to enter their property at a very low duty, notwithstanding the op posing influence of the bad qualities of the new wheat. In one respect, at least, the law of 1828, was more favourable for the consumer than the present enactment, for after prices had risen to a certain point, the duty came off rapidly ; and though this was, we must confess; a strong temptation to tamper with the averages, yet it 'had the benefit, that when there was'real necessity—such as, we believe, there to be •at present-the impost was speedily reduced sufficiently to induce importers to enter for consumption. By our advises from Scotland, it appears that the favour able weather, and the subdued tone of the reports from the South, had had more or less influence on prices; and, though the accounts respecting the spread of the potato disease had, if anything, become more alarming, the value of most kinds of grain had shown a tendency to decline at the leading towns: not only was wheat cheaper at Edinburgh on Wed nesday, but barley and oats were also obtainable at lower terms, and on the whole, business finished very languidly. From Glasgow we have similar reports, though stocks of most articles are short at the last-named place. The awful consequences which would inevitably result from a failure of the potato crop in Ireland, cause the utmost anxiety to be felt on this side of the Channel, to ascertain as far as practicable the extent of the iniichief likely to be occa sioned by the disorder which has attacked the crop in the sister isle quite as generally as in this country. The accounts from thence are, up to the present time, sufficiently serious to give rise to much uneasiness ; but we still hope that when the first alarm shall in some degree have subsided, the injury may not prove so extensive as it is now represented to be. At Mark-lane the trade in wheat has been extremely dull this week, which must be partly attributed to the effect pro. duced by the r umour to which we have a l rea d y a ll uded, viz.. the Ministerial intention of opening the ports. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been tolerably good, 5,100 quarters having been reported during the week. Beyond what was left over from Monday there has, however, been but little wheat ekhibited at Mark-lane, the bulk of the receipts from the east coast having gone to the millers direct. On Wednesday businesss was quite paralyzed, in conse - quence of the .reported probability of a Ministerial inter ference with the. laws The trifling sales made were at prices which would - not previously have been accepted ; but though factors were willing to make some concessions, they were un able to effect a clearance of the stands On Friday affairs remained in much the same position, the - only difference being, that more anxiety was manifested by sellers to realise on the latter than on the former day. On the other hand, millers were even less inclined to buy than before, and to have induced them to purchase freely rather an important reduction must have been submitted to. Foreign free wheat has moved off,vety tardily throughout the week ; holders have, however, refrained from pressing sales, and quotations have remained nominally unaltered. The same cause which has depressed . the value of free has raised the price of bonded wheat ; but, the enhanced terms asked have not been very readily paid, and the operations have been comparatively ueimportant. Some fine high mixed Dantzic was; we believe, sold on Wednesday at 625., and moderately good Rostock at 565. per quarter. Towards the close of the week there was less inclination to speculate. By the official account just published, it appears that the total stock of wheat in bond in the kingdom consisted, on the 10th Oct., of 543,666 quarters, whereof 207,874 quarters were in the port of London. Flour has been rather difficult of disposal during the week ; the nominal top price has, however, remained steady at 60s. per ,ack, and no quotable change has occurred in tie value of other sorts. The arrivals of barley have been only moderate; the receipts have nevertheless proved quite adequate to the demand, and the recently-established advance has been sup ported with some difficulty. Malt has elso moved off tardily, a t f ormer ra t es, b at holders have displayed much firmness. With oats the market has been sparingly supplied; the total quantity which had come to hand up to Saturday evening, including 5,181 quarters from abroad, amounting to only 14,61 i quarters. Hitherto, therefore, the very high prices at Mark-lane have failed to draw supplies; the principal dealers seem, however, to calculate on better arrivals, and have lately conducted their opera. tions with extreme caution. The trade has, since our last, been of a strictly retail character; bet needy buyers have few grain i s now s s. per qr., weeks tak e pl ace. had to pay quite former terms; and as t h e stocks are by no means large, it is questionable wh e th er, even if we should do receive a good supply, any mat er i a l depression would be Laud a further caused here b j , . reduction T mustuty in thisin a Beans have come to hand sparingly, and the trifling busi ness transacted has been at very high rates. Peas have also commanded fully the currency of Monday last. The duty on the latter article is now only ls. 6d. per qr., having fallen a step on Thursday.--- lark-rune Express. LITERATURE. N a 4cn ici d S c ll A i i i s' SDFAARR;IorEII?B4S6IALMANAC J URNS° This Alsanac, the first of its race for the new year, extends to 264 page?, and cont a i ns 124 engravingc, re presenting chaff cutting machines, furze -crushers, sub soil ploughs, oil-cake mills, Beverly iron -works, portable weighing machines , portable hand-mills, portable steam engines, thrashing machines, iron harrows, sheep hurdles, and ploughs and hollers and ro ll ers o f every variety, some of them invented by Mrs. Mary Wedlake and not a few by the celebrated Mr, Dean. The agri cultural departtnent is excellent, containing ample in structions fur every species of agricultural operation for each month, the results of experiments with different manures, corn tables, the general rules of land measure, all the phenomena of the sliding-scale, and pre dew t o farmers for guarding against the numerous enemies. which surround them. One for the month of June runs thus :—" Watch your sheep; the fly is now on the wing. Have your shears sharpened, and the hellebore powder and black brimstone ready ; the proportions * lb. of hellebore root powder to lb. of black brimstone ; sprinkle from the head to the tail with a dredging box, wash and shear your sheep ; see that the clot is removed, and that theshearers do not cut too close • have some ointment ready for the wounded parts." W e give this as a specimen of needless advice, because any man who pretends to be a farmer ought to know when to shear his sheep and sharpen his shears. A great deal, however, of the Farmer's Calendar is of a different deseriptibn, and some parts of it will convey instruction even to the most experienced. But we would advise the editors of this Almanac to cut off some of the -superfluities, and substitute for them information which would b e . use f u l to most country peopl e . For instance, why no t give a list of the bishops, the judges cf the Courts of Law, and the lords-lieutenants of counties. Th ese cou ld a ll be put in a very small coin pass, and would b e accepta bl e intelligence to the lowest clod-hopper. Were Messrs. Johnson and Shaw to pay more attention to general information of this description, they would soon find that the Almanac would not be tiurchased by farmers only. Some errors too appear which are inexcusable ; for instance, inthe list of Cabinet Ministers, we find that the names of Lord Granville ect make this a Somerset, the E ar l of Lincoln, an d Mr. Sidney H er b ert , valuable book f or ki lling time, are omitted, and p l aced among t h os e not of the Cabi net .

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 8. TIC MARQUIS OF JUTE V. TIC OLI&YORO•Ni8IRN CANAL COMPANY. The LORD Cuareczt.Lon gave judgment to.day in this case, which was argued shortly before the long vacation, on an appeal tram the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, who refused a motion on behalf of the noble plaintiff, for the production of cer. tain documents by the defendants. The facts of the case may be thus shortly stated :—The plaintiff and the defendants were pos.. sessed of certain land, the boundary to each of which was a ditch. On the part of the plaintiff it was asserted that that boundary mark had been filled up by the defendants, and he filed the bill for the purpose of obtaining a commission to ascertain and settle the boundary. The defend. ants, in their answer to that bill, denied the allegations of en croachment on the boundary, and asserted, that if any existed, they had been in possession of the land for upwards of 20 years, and that therefore they had a freehold in the property. They also ad mitted that they were in possession of certain maps and documents, but denied the right of the plaintiff to inspect them, and upon a motion for their production, the Vice. Chancellor of England refused to grant the application. His Lordship considered that the Learned Judge in the Court below had taken an erroneous view of the case, and directed the order pronounced to be die. charged, and the documents to be produced. MILLEI V. CUAIG. The further argument in this part-heard case occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. ROLL'S COURT, Nov. 8. Several petitions were ordered to stand over, it being intimated that the parties were desirous of entering into arrangements. CARTMIZAL V. POWIP. This was a demurrer on the part of a witness to answer certain interrogatories which he considered would be a breach of confi. dence towards his client. Mr. KINDERSLEY stated the ease. It appeared that the :type!. last, Mr. Bevin, was employed as solicitor to Miss POWil, who had entered into a treaty with Mr. Cartmeal, respecting the purchase of a life annuity, which eventually terminated in an offer, on the part of Mr. Cartmeal, to allow her an annuity at a higher rate of interest than she could get from Government, and which was fixed at 1 per cent, more. Mr. Cartmeal subsequently found out that the rate of interest allowed by Government was lower than that upon which the calculation was based, and the proceedings were suspendee, and matters were brought into the Chancery Court, when the ap pellant was subpoenaed as a witness, and asked certain questions re. specting what had passed between him and hii client, and between her brother, Mr. Thomas Powis. The Learned Counsel cited the cases of Steel v. Stewart, first volume of Tiverton, p. 401, Sic. Mr. STEPHENS followed, on the same side. Mr. Maurra, on the part of the respondent, contended that the communication having been made through the medium of another party, was divested of its confidential and professional character. His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, remarked that of late a con siderable extension had taken place respecting the privilege of corn. munication between solicitor and client. In his opinion, this was carried to a degree that might be injurious, though as yet no serious cases had occurred. However, the authorities cited were explicit, and therefore he felt bound to allow the demurrer. VIOE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 8. (Before the VICB.CAANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) BRYANT V. TWIGG. The arguments in this cue occupied the Court the whole day. The case came before the Court upon exceptions and further dircc. lions. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT Baca.) RE TARTE PHILLIPS' CHARITY. The arguments on both sides in this case were concluded to.day, and his Honour gave judgment The facts enumerated by his Honour are shortly these. James Newman, the petitioner, was appointed master of a school in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, in 1834 or 1835, &het continued to hold the office till 1844, when the ti us. teem gave him notice of removal and discontinuance of his salary on and after Michaelmas of that year. In 1839 the schoolmaster had appeared in Chancery against the same trustees, but the Vice- Chancellor of England in April of that year found Mr. .Newman entitled to hold his office and receive the rightful emolument so long as he conducted himself well, and directed that the costs should be paid by the trustees The first intimation of fault found with him by the trustees was given to Mr. Newman, in a letter of the 6th of June, 1844, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, requesting his presence that day at the meeting. Newman did not attend—it was not convenient. On the 26th June another meeting was held, of which Newman had no notice ti:l the 21st, a delay which his Honour reprobated, as the meet ing had been detrrmiaed on at that of the 6th inst. On the 26th the schoolmaster had intimation from the meeting of dismissal, no charge being laid against him other than general misconduct—a vagueness severely animadverted on by the Court. His removal, in the circumstances and in the manner in which the trustees thought proper to direct it, was such as no court of justice could justify. His Honour now went through the various charges disclosed since the case came into Court—general micron. duct, occasional attendance at Unitarian places of worship, inferring belief in the tenets, the burning of books which turned out after . wards to have been some old lesson boards and frames, purloining of coals, absence for some days in January and at Whitsuntide, charging more than the retail profit on stationery used in the school, which the rules of the foundation allowed the master to retail— finding them all unsupported by the evidence brought into court, some of them frivolous, and none of them warranting the slightest suspicion against Mr. Newman. The only other objection his Honour noticed was Mr. Newman's refus ing to examine the children in the presence of Mr. Hamilton, and, on the ground of examinations made by Mr. Bennett, the vicar, and Mr. Hamilton, the charge of neglect and unfitness. His Honour said that the circumstances of the school master should be recollected; that he was, by this examination, to be put upon his trial before his own pupils, and in presence of persons who, to say the least, were inclined to probe into whatever faults Mr. Newman might have had. As to the results of private examinations by the vicar and Mr. Hamilton, his Honour threw the vicar's report entirely out of consideration. Mr. Hamilton's, he allowed, had somewhat more weight with him. But, continued his Honour, be it recollected that all the village knew the purpose for which the examination was to made. Some of the parents might have a private grudge, and the scholars whether they liked the master or no would be there, the greatest dolts, the merest imbeciles would attend, and all goes on in the absence of the master himself Mr. H. might have expected more than he ought; it is a country school, the master a country school. muter at a paltry sum of 901. Surely something must be allowed for human error, for human infirmity. The very lads examined, had been frequently,and for long periods absent on farm labour, they were holding the plough—their talk was of cattle. The wisdom of learned men is Fathered in leisure. His Honour found the charges net established; that Mr. Newman holds the office of schoolmaster; that he is entitled so to do by the order of the Vice-Chancellor of England; that he be reinstated in his °See ; that an account be made up of salary ■nd rent due to Mr. Newman up to the present time; that the COMP taxed be paid by the trustees appearing its this suit, and not out of the funds of the charity. Mr. Russell, Q.C., and Mr. G. L. Russell, were the counsel for the petitioners ; and Mr. Swanston, Q.C., Mr. Cooper, Q.C., and Mr. Bilton, for the respondents. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 8. SHAW V. HOLLAND. This was an action of assumpsit brought to recover the sum of 6. 1 1., for a breath of contract, for the sale of fifty shares in a rail way called the Bradford Extension Railway. The defendant placed upon record two pleas of non.assumpait, and two pleas framed upon the Joint.atock Company's Registration Act, and the case was tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe at the last assizes for the county of York, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, on the pleas of non-assuml•sit, but the verdict was returned for the de feadant upon the remaining special pleas. Mr. Banes, Q C., now moved for a rule nisi to show cause why the verdict should not be also entered for the plaintiff on the special pleas. The special pleas were to the effect that the com pany formed for constructing the railway in question had not been duly registered according to the provisions of the 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 110, which was entitled, " An Act for the Regis tration, Incorporation, and Regulation of Joint-stock Companies," the 2itith section of which required that all new companies formed after the Ist of November, 1844, should pass through the ordeal of registration, and made it a fineable, or rather a penal offence, to deal in, sell, or contract for, the sale et shares in a company that was not so registered. Now he maintained that the Company for making th• Bradford . Extension Railway was formed previously to the Ist of November, 1844, and therefore, it did not come within the meaning of the Registration Act. The Railway was an extension of the Leeds cod Bradford line. up the Valley of the ♦yre, in Yorkshire, and the capital was subscribed and the shares allotted to the shareholders in that company. There was at no time any new appointment of the directors, who were the same as those of the Leeds and Bradford Company, nor were there any new officers appointed. The business of the extension line was carried on at the offices of the Leeds and Bradford Company, and the new line was an extension of the Leeds and Bradford Rail. way, and just such an extension as it the London and Brighton, or Great Western Companies had determined to extend their line some ten miles beyond the point of their present termini, which they lawfully could do by raising the capital amongst themselves, and afterwards obtaining the sanction of Par liament for it, without going to the expense of registering a new company. There was a second point which he might as well put their Lordships in possession of. On looking into the Act, their Lordships would find that the 24th section included railways, but the 28th section excluded them. The case had excited great in terest, and was a very important one to the public, and in conclu sion he might mention that it was the first time the Court had been called upon to construe the terms, provisions, and language, of the Joint-stock Companies' Registration Act. Their LORDSMIPS granted the rule, but expressed an opinion that it would have been much better if the matter had been sub mitted to them in the shape of a special case. Mr. BIANKII thanked their Lordships for the suggestion, and premised to consult with Mr. Cowling, who, he undeastood, had been Instructed to move, by the other side, for a cross rule. THE ROUTE OF THE LORD MAYOR'S PROM • sioN THIS DAY—The fcllowing notice was issued on Fri day night from the Town Clerk's office :—" By the Lord Mayor--Forasmtich as John Johnson, Esq., lately elected Lord Mayor for this City for the year ensuing, is on Monday, the 10th day of November next, to be accompanied by iris brethren the Aldermen, and attended by the Livery of the several companies of this City, to go from Guildhall at 11 o'clock exactly, through King. street, Queen -street, Upper Thames-street, Arthur-street West, King William -street, Mansion-house. street, the Poultry, Cheapsid e , St. Paul's churchyard, Ludgate-str e et, L u d gate -hill , and New Bridge street, to Blackfriars-bridge, and thence by water to West minster, there to be sworn; and at his return, will land et Blackfriars-stairs, • and pass from thence through New Bridge-street, Ludgate-hill, Ludgate-street, St. Paul's churchyard, Cheapside, and down King-street to the Guild hall to dinner. (Signed) MEHEWETHER." SUICIDE AT SHEERNEss. — Contdilerable excite ment prevailed here on Wednesday morning, on its being rumoured that a strange gentleman had committed suicide at the Ship Tavern, the previous night, b, hanging himself from the bedstead. He had only a rived the previous day by the London steamer, his sole log -1 gage being a carpet bag. On the landlord calling him in the morning he found the bed-room door locked, and receiving no answer to several applications for admittance he gave the alarm ; .the door was forced open and the wretched man was found suspended from the bed-post. Medical aid was immediately procured, but the vital spark had long fled. A coroner's inquest has been deferred till the appear ance of some of his friends, to whom the circumstance is to be an nouneod by advertisement in the London papers. „„:,"' RICH DISCOVERY.—On Friday afternoon a poor Loy of the name of Neville, who resides with his aunt (havingno p...rents, in Lincoln-court, Drury-lane, was playing with some lads near the mortar, in St. James's-park, and observed a small book, upon open ing which it was found to contain a number of papers, letters, and notes to the following amount :—llree Bank of England for 2001., one ' for 1001. and two for 101. ; two cheques, one for 75/., and the other for 9/. ; besides a number of promissory notes and bills of acceptance upon continental houses, amounting in all to above 2,0:01. The book isof foreign manufacture, and the letters, which are principally in German, gave noev to the right owner. IVINDSOR 4LECTION. —From the extraordinary exertions (to obtain the supportof those electors who still remained Unpletigtal up to a late hour on Thursday eve,,lng) made on behalf of Colonel Itehijoined to the power which has been brought to bear against Mr. Walter frbm an influential quarter, that gentleman, by the advice of his friends, consented to withdraw himself, and to leave the field open to Colonel Reid. This announcement, n hich was not made wail late on Kriday evening, by means of a hand-bill issued by Mr. Walter, appeared to take the electors by surprise. A new steamer, called the Cygnet, has been plaCed on the Trent, to ply between Nottingham and Gainsborough. HUDSON'S BAT PRODUCE.—The annual importa• tions of furs and skins by the Hudson's Bay Company from that quarter has just taken place. One of their vessels, the Prince Albert, arrived in the London Docks two or three days ago, and the other vessel, the Prince Rupert. arrived a few days previously, w i th im mense cargoes of every description of the most valuable Mrs and skins of animals abounding in that place. These two vessels consti tute Ike entire of the importations of these ornamental and useild articles froD4 that particular quarter.of tide 41obe at thi §sc 4{ , c , u o f the LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

In con formity with this resolution, the St. Helena, Evans, from Liverpool, arrived at Genoa on the 31st ult., had been put under quarantine.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—There has been no material change in this branch of business since our last report. Prices remain without variation, and about the same moderate amount of business has been transacted. ENGusit WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 7.—The tranatte ti,,ns in this branch of trade, both in combing and clothing Wool, have Len small during the present week ; prices are nominally without alteration. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 7.—There bas again been a very limited extent of business done in Wool of all sorts. In any little that has been done, the turn is rather in favour of the buyer, LEEDS —Our Cloth markets at both Halls were very dull both on Saturday and Tuesday. The rumours of scarciiv of money, as anticipated by many, have had considerable effect in causing buyers to be veil careful in their purchases, and little is doing except to order. The stocks on hand at the close of the season cannot, however, be large, as the manufacturers have been acting on the cautious side for some time. Business has been dull in the warehouses during the week ; there is, however, a little more doing for the American market than for some time. LEICESTER.—Business continues in a healthy state in the Hosiery market—Yarns are steady. There is but little doing in long Wools, and the coarser kinds are dull of sale. Short W'.ols still command high prices. flitApFoup MituKET, THURSDAY, Nov. 6.—There is no• thing different in the Wool department, the spinners acting with caution, and only buying for present wants. In prices we do not hear of any change. The very much depressed Yarn trade is in no way improved. In short, all engaged in it appear to be disposed to do as little as possible, the prices being so ruinously low. Since our last report, another once higly respectable house has had to subm it to the pressure of the present times. The continuance and general adoption of short time working is the only apparent safeguard, to protect us through the winter. We regret we cannot hear if airy On proveinent in the Piece market to-day, either as regards demand or prices. MANCHES . TER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had a very dull and inanimate business i❑ our Cloth market this week, which to-day closes with increa , irz heaviness and declining rates, and fr , m appearance,, there is no prospect of an early improvement. Though spinners are doing better than ma nufacturers, still this branch is anything but brisk, and where sales are made, a slight reduction has been submit ted to. LANCASHIRE, Nov. 6.—At Bolton, the demand for Cot ton Yarns has been limitul during the last few days, and prices of some sorts are a shade lower. Counterpar.es are moderately brisk,- and tine Ginghams are in particular re quest. Bleachers have more work than they had a month ago. Machine printers in the town and neighbourhood are not so busy as they were six weeks since, and calico block-printerS have very little work indeed. The broad Silk trade at Leigh, Failsworth, Middleton, and the neighbourhood of Manchester, is rather dull, yet it is not so slack as is usually the case at this season of the year. The best qualities of fine broad Satin Shawls, and new descriptions of fancy work are in particular request. The Silk and Cotton Small Ware business i❑ the same districts is rather slack, and at some silk mills hands have only tour days work per week. There has been a larger number of baildings erected this year than for a long time past, THE REV. R. W. SIBTHORPE.—It appears to be the general opinion (says one of our correspond en t s ) t h at the Bev. Mr. Sibthorpe has returned lo the Protestant com munion. If he has (which is doubtful), he would be doing inri:ense service to the Protestant cause by publishing the reasons for his return, as an antidote to the publication of his reasons fur joining the Roman communion, under the titles, " Some Answers to the Enquiry, Why are you Become a Catholic?" and, "A further Answer to the Enquiry, Why have you Become a Catholic?" Our correspondent, th(re fore, publicly requests most earnestly, in behalf of the Pro testant community of which lie is a minister, that Mr. Sib thorpe will favour the public with some answer to the enquiry, " Why are you again Become a Protestant ?— Church and State Gazette. JACK AND THE BISHOP.—When Dr. Lipscombe, the late Bishop of Jamaica, went on board her Majesty's ship the Magnificent, to dine with the Admiral, on making his appearance on deck, in full canonicals, which of course in cluded the significant apron, a tar s 'gaciously inquired of his brother Neptune, " I say, Jack, do you know who this 'ere is?" " No, I don't," said he, " except it is the master blacksmith who is come to take measure of our new funnel." Baptist Herald. PUSET.—Dr. Pusey's turn to preach at Ox ford will not occur until the beginning of 1846, before which period we trust some authoritative interference will take place. We are the more desirous of this, as the Rev. Doctor is eager to seize the earliest opportunity of resuming his place before measures are ma tured for stopping him—Church and State Gazette.
