YEARSLEY'S NEW MODE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The following acting-lieu - nant and midshipmen passed their examination for lieutenants last week, at the Royal. Naval College : Mr. Charles A. Wise, Mr. R. P. Pearse, and Mr. Frederick Parke. Vice-Admiral Sir John Louis struck his flag on board the Agincourt in Herat:we, on Friday, and closed his duties as Admiral-Superintendent of De vonport ordinary and dockyard, giving place to Cap tain Lord John Hay, C.E., who hoisted a broad pendant as commodore of the first class (!) and com menced his control of the dockyard, offices, &c. [What a farce and a humbug has this appointment been at* er all ! The public, galled by the appear ance of a captain to succeed an admiral under the guise of economy, are ignorant of the fact that a first class commodore's pay, staff, and allowances are the same to the uttermost farthing as an admiral-super intendent's.],— Times. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander Grey Skip with, was paid off at Sheerness on Friday in a most o rderly manner, all her business being over in an hour. The new regulation for the examination of candi dates for the appointment of master in the Royal Navy came into operation this month. The follow ing were examined at the Royal Naval College last week and passed :—Mr. William Stanton, Mr. James. Pyper, and Mr. Glreorge Richard Barnes;; Mr. Stanton had full numbers, and was deservedly com plimented thereon by the President. ROYAL MARINES. Her Majesty has, by order in Council dated sth instant, been pleased to direct that the corps of Royal Marines shall consist of 102 divisional and 19 artil lery companies. And her Majesty is also graciously pleased to allow 10 from the senior captains of the corps to retire upon the full pay of their rank in con sequence of their long and meritorious services. The establishment of the several divisions will, therefore, be in accordance with the annexed schedule : Each divisional company to consist of 1 captain, 2 subalterns, 5 sergeants, 5 corporals, 3 drummers, 76 privates ; total, 92. Each artillery company to consist of l captain, 4 subalterns, 7 sergeants, 7 corporals, 3 bombadiers, 3 drummers 125 gunners; total, 150. Making the whole establishment — Divisional companies Artillery companies Staff 10,954 To effect this reduction and re-distribution, 10 companies—from 103 to 112, are to be broken up, and the remaining companies to be com plete to their numerically established strength therefrom, leaving the excess of non-com missioned officers, drummers, and privates as super numeraries, until cleared off by casualties. The 102 divisional companies are to be distributed at the several divisions as follows :—Chatham, 25 companies; Portsmouth, 27 companies ; Artillery, 10 companies; Plymouth, 25 companies; Wool wich, 25 companies. This re-distribution and new arrangement of divi sional companies is in no way to effect either non commissioned officer, drummer, or private as regards their transfer from one division to another : the whole are to continue attached as at present, but, removed to new companies as cases arise out of the altered numbers. The names of the captains to be retired are not yet known. PLYMOUTH, FEB. IG.—Vice-Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart , Lady and the Misses Louis, have left the official residence in the Dockyard, and we under stand will remain for a short time at Moorshead's Royal Hotel, preparatory to their leaving for the Baronet's seat in this county. An assault of a dis graceful and serious nature was committed on the Gallant Admiral on Tuesday evening last, from the effects of which his frame was so much shaken that he was obliged to call in medical assistance, and has since been confined to his room. It appears that the Ad miral was walking towards Devonport, and was on the causeway on the hill between that town and Stone house, when he was run violently against by three men, in the uniform of marines, and knocked. into the roadway. From the very wet weather that we have lately experienced in this part of the world, the mud on the road was several inches deep, and the miscreants, catching hold of the fallen Admiral, rolled him therein, and then decamped. As soon as he had sufficiently recovered to be able to walk, he proceed to the mainguard, and a file of men were immediately sent out, to trace, if possible, the whereabouts of the parties who committed the offence. In the search, however, they were unsuccessful ; and though an in vestigation has since taken place, the men have not been detected. An accident, which it is feared will prove fatal, occurred yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Arethusa. A party of marines were engaged in hoisting on board one of her masts, which was just brought on a level with the deck, when one of the marines turned with a handspike the direction of the crane. By some accident he let go his hold, when the crane burst back to its former place, and caught the men who were at the windlass, the handle of which, it is said, penetrated the bowels of one of the unfortunate men. Two others were severely injured, and were immediately carried to the hospital, were they are now doing well. It is not expected, how ever, that the other man will survive. The Stromboli, Commander Lord Amelius Beau clerk, having had defects made good, left Hamoaze for the Sound on Tuesday, and sailed on Thursday for a cruise in the Channel, to assist the homeward-bound. The steam-frigate gladiator, Capt. Adams, having been repaired, dropped down harbour into the Sound on Tuesday. II:tr tender, the Jackal steam-vessel, was warped alongside the jetty on Tuesday for repair. The Gladiator continues in the Sound. The Philomel, 6, was commissioned on Monday by Commander F. G. Forbes. She is destined to take the March mails to the coast of Africa. All the copper has been taken off the brig Brito mart, to be replaced with new. She is to be lifted for the purpose of fixing a new false keel. Fifty riggers and seamen riggers are employed on her Mejesty's ship Albion. Ten boys were on Monday entered as shipwrights' apprentices, and two to ropemakers. THE fiIEAMAN'S COMMITTEE.—The Seaman Com mittee, of which the Admiral of the Fleet is chair mar, concluded the collection of evidence on Thurs day, and adjourned for ten days , whe n they will meet for the purpose of agreeing on the report. The officer who has stepped forward with a view of making a salutary alteration is the senior naval lord, Rear- Admiral Deans Dundas, who, in a written minute to the other members of the hoard, submits the fol lowing proposition to them officially :—He proposes, we believe, in 1851, to decrease the issue of spirits one half, and to allow none whatever to persons under eighteen years of age ; but in lieu thereof, to give an increased pay of 33. per month. The fol lowing is a list of punishments in the navy for three years, and the reasons thereof: — For drunken- For other mess only. offences.

The Eider steam• vessel, in charge of Lieutenant Sherard and o)born, with Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chiEf engineer at Woolwich dockyard, arrived here this afternoon from Southampton, and was brought up at moorings opposite the East dock, ad joining the saw-mills. The Eider is to be taken into the East dock, to be got ready for sea with the least possible delay, Captain Austin, C. 8., having expressed to the heads of the working departments here his most anxious wish that all the vessels of the expedition should be completed by the first week in April. Tne Eider made a most excellent passage round to Woolwich, having left Southampton at 1 30 P.M. yes terday and arrived here at three P.M. to-day. She is represented as being a good sailer as well as steamer, and must be very familiar to many on the river, as she has the same kind of figurehead as her sister vessel, the Free-Trader, both being "Bull-heads." THE GOLD FINDER. —A work of a very remark able charact>r has just issued from the press, called " The Adventures of a Gold Finder." It assumes to be the personal narrative of an Englishman who, whilt exploring unfrequented portions of the new El Dorado, undergoner various extraordinary adventures amongst the aborigines, and in the society of the motly assemblage from all cations that forms the population o f " the dig gins." Encounters with wild beasts, elk sho o ting, and the other sports of this singular country, are interspersed with so many characteristic anecdotes of Yankee specu- Litor2 and Indian chiefs, as to afford one of the most animated pictures of California that has hithei to been published, whilst equal entertainment may be drawn from the author's vivid descriptions of the vicissitudes in the life of a gollbunter. It gives us much pleasure to learn, on good autho rity, that by a new system of medical treatment the l)uke of Sutherland has been relieved from the deafness mulcr which his Grace so long suffered. DEATH — OF LORD GODOLPHIN. We regret • to announce the death of the Right Hon. Francis Godolphin Osborne, Baron Godolphin, of Farnham•Royal, in the county of Bucks, and (Tog magog, in the county of Cambridge.

The Honourable William Godolphin Osborne ' third son of the deceased, was aide de-camp to his uncle, Lord Auckland, when Governor-General of India; the fourth son, the Hon. and Reverend Sydney Godolphin Osborne, is rector of Durweston with Bryanston, Dorsetshire. The youngest, the Hon. D'Arcy Godolphin Osborne, is deceased. The late Lord Godolphin was returned to the House of Com mons for the' borough of Helstone, in Cornwall, in 1798, and sat as Member therefor until the general election in 1802, when he was returned for Lewes, the numbers being—Osborne, 114, Shelley, 179, Kemp, 173. .At the dissolution in 1806, Lord Osborne retired from Parliament, until in the month of March, 1810, he was returned for the county of Cam bridge in the room of the Right Hon. Philip Yorke, who had accepted the office of Teller of the Exche quer, and who rather abruptly retired from the con test with his Lordship. Trt 1e26, his Lordship was again returned as the colleague of Lord Charles Somerset Manners, the late Mr. Adeane having been nominated against his expressed wish. In 1830, Lord Osborne and Mr. Adeane were returned, Lord C. S. Manners, the third candidate, being at the bottom of the poll ; the numbrs then were—Os borne, 2,339 ; Adeane, 2,086 ; Manners,ll,7s7. Lord Osborne was again elected for the county without opposition in 1831, and vacated his seat shortly after wards on his elevation to the Peerage, to which he was called on the 13th of May, 1832, by the title of Baron Godolphin. Oa the Ist of January, 1836, he was appointed High Steward of the town of Cam bridge, which office he held up to his decease. His Lordship's health had been breaking for some time past, but it was not till lately that serious appre hensions were entertained. The deceased, however, sunk under what perhaps may most properly be called a gradual decay of nature, and expired at half-past twelve on Friday night last, at his seat at Gogmagog, Cambridgeshire. In politics the deceased Lord was a Whig, and up to within a short period of his death he took an active part in 'the discharge of the duties appertaining to a county magistrate. It is already rumoured that the High Stewardship of the borough of Cambridge will be offered t) Lord Campbell, whose son is already its representative in the House of Commons. SIR JOHN ROSS AND SLEDGING BY DOGS. TO TUE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—One at least of the peculiar advantages claimed by Sir John Ross over other Arctic navigators is of so extraordinary a nature, that I cannot refrain from sending you a f....5v lines on the subject. Advantage No. .5.—" From having been six years Consul in Sweden I am well acquainted with sledging by dogs, which can be procured in Greenland." Now this paragraph, though rather awkwardly worded, would, of course, amply that the Swedes are in the habit of driving dogs in sledges, and that the gallant ex-Consul had derived his knowledge of that mode of travelling from what he saw going . on around him every day of the six winters during which he filled the duties of that important post. Tne imaginative part of your readers have doubtless already conjured up before their minds' eye the form of the gallant veteran dashing at full speed through the streets of Stockholm at• the heels of a dozen thorough-bred bull-dogs, and like a born Kams chatkadale, alternately cheering them on with his voice, or reminding the unruly of his authority by hurling a short stick at them with unerring aim. Alas for the gullibility of the public and the capa city of its swallow I Is it not plain that the true Greenland is England ? It does not require six winter?, or half a winter's, residence in Sweden to ascertain that "sledging bydogs" is utterly unknown in any part of that country ; and, after some years' experience, I do not scruple to affirm that such a mode of conveyance would create even more excite ment in Scandinavia than in England. Out of Lon don our English dogs are used to the yoke, and if we had hard winters, no doubt our tinkers and dog's meat-men would soon become initiated into the mys teries of " sledging by dogs ;" but in Sweden, where the breed of dogs is poor and currish, the tinkers are content to carry their own pots and pans; nor do I remember ever to have seen a dog drawing any ve hicle whatsoever. In short, this " sledging by dogs" is all humbug, and for a very good reason. Your Swedes having excellent horses are not driven to "sledge by dogs ;" and when you get towards the Arctic circle, the. benighted Laplanders, most pro vokingly for the assertion of Sir John Ross, obsti nately continue to " sledge by reindeer," employing their dogs, of which they have a fine breed, in the more honourable occupation of looking after their herds and in protecting them from the wolves. If Sir John Henry Pelly and his friends are of what is called on the turf a speculative turn, and wish to back Sir John Ross's assertion, and at the same time to raise money for this expedition, let them stake their 3,0001. on the fact that "sledging by dogs' is usual in Sweden, and I will give them 6,0001. if they can produce two credible witnesses who will declare that this kind of conveyance is commonly practised in Stockholm. My own belief is, that there is not a single team of dogs so employed between the North Cape and Elsinore ; and I can affirm on oath that during four out of the six winters in which Sir Jahn Ross was acquiring his experience I have seen him hundreds of times driving, not a dozen dogs, but one substantial horse, in an ordinary Swedish sledge. I am not one of those who think that all efforts to rescue Sir John Franklin's expedition should be re linquished. On the contrary, I conceive it to be our bounden duty in a case like this to hope even against hope, and to leave no stone unturned for the deliver ance of those devoted men. But as the emergency is great so is it absolutely necessary that neither public nor private money should be wasted in ill directed efforts ; and after this exposition of Sr John Ross's fif,la advantage, who can say whether all the others may not b e eq ually illusory ? Of one , qualification of the gallant veteran I do not doubt—l mean his courage --for the man who can gravely state that from six years' resi hence in Sweden he l eft that country well a cqua i n t e d w ith sledging by dogs, will stick at nothing in the way of assertion, and were an expedition announced to explore the Moon and colo nize Saturn, he would not scruple to become a candi date for the command. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, PIMLICOLA. P.S. As the buckhounds are about to be put down, would it not be as well if Sir John Henry Pelly and his friends were to make a handsome offer for the , A hole pack, and send them out with their new expe dition ? As soon as they took to the ice the pace would be killing, and there would be no stopping ,them till they reached the North Pole. - - - EXHINITION OF AVORItS OF INDUSTRY IN 1851. On Saturday last (February 16) a public meeting was held in the Tolsey in Gloucester (the Mayor in the chair), to determine what steps shall be taken to co operate with the Royal Commissioners in promoting the objects of the proposed Exhibition of the Works of In dustry of all Nations next year. A number of gentle men attended and supported resolutions in favour of the above object, and a pretty liberal sum was collected for transmission to the treasurer of the Royal Commision. One of the speakers, Mr. T. M. Sturge, a member of the Society of Friends, spoke most sanguinely cf the great objects to be realised by the exhibition. Ile anti eipated that the example thus set by England would, in after years, be followed by most of the European and civilized nations, and that it would afford the means of more frequent international ineercourse and of contri buting largely to the happiness and comfort of eivi l'zed society. Above all, he thought it would create such unity of sentiment among peoples and nations as to render European wars utterly impossible. A committee was appointed to cooperate with the Royal Commission G:oucester city is celebrated for its pin manufactures, and the county for its cloth manuittetut es and dairy and other agricultural produce. TIM CHARTIST SPY.—We have this week to an nounce the arrival of the ship Caroline, from London (15th April), with 179 passengers; and the ship Louisa Millie, from London and Plymouth (29th April and 9th May), with 161 passengers. Amongst the passengers by the Caroline is a person whose proper name is Thomas Powell, but who shipped himself in the name of Thomas Richards. It seems that having been one of the principal witnesses against the English Chartists, the English Governireut have secretly provided him with the necessary funds for removing. himself and his family t) this colony. Another passenger, named John Morley, from A,liford, Kent, jumped overboard on the 22d of May. It was :aid that he ha 1 parted from his friends in anger, and having been subject to bitter compunctions, his remorse became insupportable.--Adelaide Observer f Sept. 8. N 7 FEBRUARY 18, 1850. [PiucE 51), METROPOLITAN SANITARY ASSOCIA TION.-DEPUTATION TO 7'llE PREMIER. A deputation from the Metropolitan Sanit try Associa tion waited upon Lord John Russell, on Saturday, at his official residence in Downing-street, for the purpose of presenting to her Majesty's Government the resolutions agreed to at the late meeting held in the Freemasons' Hall, and of explaining the necessity of further measures to improve the condition of the metropolis. The Bishop of London headed the deputation, which we; very numerous, consisting of—Lord Moreton, Dr. Aldis, Rev. J. W. Buckley, M.A., St. Mary, Padding ton; Rev. R. Burgess, 8.D., rector of Chelsea; Mr. Charles Salisbury Butler, Mr. Carlton Baynes, C.E., Sir William Clay, M.P., Rev. J. Cumming, D.D., Mr. 11. C. Edwards, Mr. Robert Fox, Mr. R. Grantham, F.G.S., Mr. W. Lewis, M. 8., Mr. C. F. J. Lord, Rev. T. Davis Lamb, rector of West Hackney; Dr. G. Milroy, Rev. Henry Mackenzie, M.A., reet tr of St. Martin-in-the ields ; Rev. C. Marshall, M.A., vicar of St. Bride's; Mr. T. Marsh Nelson, Rev. J. R. Nicboll, M.A., rector of Streatham; Sir E. Pearson, Mr. W. Rogers, Rev. F. T. Statham, Sr. Peter's, Walworth; Rev. B. C. Sanger, M.A., rector of St. Paul's, Shadwell; Mr. R. A Harris, M.P., Dr. J. Sutherland, Mr. J. Stansbury, M.A., Rev. T. P. Wright, M.A., St. Philip, Dalston; Rev. D. Wil son, M.A., vicar of Islington ; Mr. J. Wyld, M.P., Rev. J. Wood, 8.A., Rev. J. Worthington, D.D., Rev. R. Dead, Hon. Frederick Byng, Mr. George Godwin, and the honorary secretaries, Rev. M. W. Lusigaan, M.A., Dr. Hector Gavin, and Mr. Adolphus Barnet, M.D. The Bishop of LONDON, at the close of a lengthened address, in which he pressed the objects of the associa tion upon the attention of the Noble Lord, asked whether, in consequence of the gracious expressions in her Ma jesty's Speech at the opening of Parliament, they might hope that a Bill would be introduced, under the sanction of her Majesty's Government, for the sanitary improve ment of the metropolis. And next, if no such intention should be entertained by her Majesty's Government, whether, if a Bill for the improvement of the sanitary condition of the metropolis should ko introduced by some Member of. either House of Parliament, such a measure would be favourably considered by her Majesty's Gc vernment ; also, whether their assistance would be given t) those who might wish to carry such a Bill into law. The association, however, earnestly and anxiously hoped that the first branch of this alternative might be calcu lated upon; and that her Majesty's Government would see the importance—permit him to add the duty—of bringing in some effective measure for improving the sanitary condition of the metropolis.—(Hear.) The Rigid Rev. Prelate then handed to the Noble Lord a copy of the resolutions which had been unanimously agreed to at the late meeting. Mr. WYLD, M P. called the Noble Lord's attention to the defective supply of water in the metropolis, ob serving that during the late epidemic disease prevailed most in those quarters where the supplies were small and the quality bad. Notwithstanding the efforts of the different public companies, there were at this moment 80,000 houses in the metropolis unsupplied with water, containing 640,000 persons. Of these 80,000 houses, 40,000 had no right to a supply. This was a question hich did not concern the poorer classes only. It affscted the middle and higher order, for in those neigh bout hoods where the supplies were scanty disease corn monly prevailed. The sanitary effects of a plentiful supply of water had been strikingly illustrated by a state ment made by Lord Ashley at the public meeting of the association, that in the great city of Hamburgla the dis eases most commonly found among the poorer classes had disappeared after their supplies of water became un limited. The ratepayers of the metropolis certainly suf fered severely from increased rates, in consequence of a defisient supply, fit it not only engendered disease, but maintained it among the poor, whom they had to sup port. The association did not themselves ventured to propose any plan to remedy the present state f things; but they begged most earnestly to call the attention of the Government to the necessity of a constant supply of water in every apartrreat of the habitations of the poor, upon the high pressure princi; le, at the lowest possible cost. The Rev. H. Mackenz:e, the Rev. R. Burge3s, the Rev. Dr. Cumming, Mr. T. M. Ne!sor•, and Mr. H. Ed wards, having severally supported the Right Rev. Pre I Ate, in observations of considerable length, Lord J. RUSSELL said, I have listened with great at tention to what your Lordship has said upon this sub ject; and I am sure your Lordship, and the deputation, will see that it is impossible for me to enter here into the particular views of the Government, or into a discussion upon any general measure. I can only state to you that I consider the object no less important than it has been described to be by the members of the deputation who have just spoken. It has constantly engaged the attention of the Government; and my Noble Friend Lord Carlisle has been in constant communication with me upon it. I know that, with regard to the metropolis, he ha: felt the difficulties of the subject very greatly, and certainly his opinion is that he does not think there can be any general measure which can comprehend all the subjects which comprise sanitary regulation; but he thinks it is more feasible to attempt by separate mea suros to meet the various evils that have occurle Hoar, bear.) With regard to a general measure, I ihoulci also say we mast consider that in this country there is very naturally and properly great jealousy of any interference either with local rights or individual will and freedom from control; and that when you bring in a Bill c.f 350 clauses, you find very groat difficulty in contending for each of those clauses against the separate opposition that may be made to them. But I will only say this, with regard to the difficulties of the subject, that we will give our bast attention to them; and I can assure your Lordship and the deputation that her Ma jesty is deeply interested in this subject.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord addei, in answer to an observation from a member of the deputation, that the opinion of the Go vernment was in favour of separate measures rather than of one general measure. The deputation then retired. TILE HUSH FISHERIES BILL. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Irish Fisheries Bill is a document fraught with most thrilling interest to those who look forward fur improvements on the fisheries, not only as re spects Ireland, but of England and Scotland as well. 1 have just risen up from waling through its pages, 84 in number, and 182 enactments. The grand fea tures of the Bill are, the erection of a fully autho rised board of commissioners, who will appoint in spectors, secretary, assistant-secretary, clerks, mes sengers, and other officers, to see that the fisheries are carried on under wholesome laws and regulations. The most of former Acts fur regulating the Irish fisheries are to be repealed, to make way for the one now to be introduced. The sea coast of Ireland, with its estuaries, its rivers, its locks, ponds, and lakes, is to be divided and subdivided into districts to aid the purposes of the Act. Each district is to elect conser vators of fisheries, who are to be their representatives. The number of conservators for each district is not to be less than three, nor more than nine. The owners of fisheries of a certain value are to be vested with the privileges of a conservator, but only one person from each estate will be permitted to act in that ca pacity." The engines, net?, &c., for salmon and trout fishing, &c , to be licensed and pay an annual duty." It is only such who pay this licence that will possess the privilege to vote for a conservator. To protect the brood of fish, see that they are not captured when out of season, and that the nets and other traps for catching them are according to prescribed dimensions, will be sonic of the chief duties of the Irish Board of Fisheries. All officers connected with the board to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund. For the pur pose of carrying this Act fully and beneficially into effect at sea, as well as on land, there are to be a class of officers entitled water-bailiffs ; and the officers and men of the Royal Navy, Coast Guard service, and the constabulary force of Ireland, are all to be vested with power, privileges, and authority to aid the Commissioners in raising the Irish fisheries, and ultimately the Irish poor, from an impoverished to that of an affluent state. With such a Board of Fisheries erected in Ireland, whose aim sill be to protect the weak and see justice administered to all, parties, then, who are desirous that national improvements should go on will have no hesitation to advance their capital in any well digested scheme for the purchasing efficient vessels, tackling, &c. They will have a ready tribunal to apply to should redress be needed, subject alike, of course, to abide by the laws and regulations issued from under the seal of the board. THE TAILORS' SWEATING SYSTE3I.—A deputation from a society of tailors, comprising 5,000 persons, waited on Saturday upon Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., and Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., at the Marylebone Court, for the purpose of inducing the Hon. Members to present and support a petition t) the House of Commons, praying the interference of the Legislature to, put _down th oo t. system known as the sweating system. 'T he dePu"t pointed out the hardships to which the journe y men tailors were subjected by the method now so com monly adopted of giving out work to certain u te r r t s h o o n m s, w a h t o a , aga in, employed a number tf ot her s under me h u i c o h stmas system l ler s sa m s)) , w to was ad op doth t dw wor k.eta o f h The te most 1 cc alai filthy e a n wh h i and immoral kind.

EXPLOSION or FIRE-DAMP.—On Saturday morn ing last, about seven o'clock, an explosion of fire-damp took place at the Gib Field Colliery, Chowkent, the pro perty of G. Fletcher, Esq , c f Laburnum-house. The dangerous gas has for some time past been observed in the more secluded parts of the mine, and the utmost caution has been enjoined upon the workmen. One of the men had been instructed to examine the different working: before the others commenced, and on Saturday morning last ho was engaged in this duty, when finding some of the inflammable gas lodged in one or two of the bays of the pit, he pulled off his coat and began to beat it out into the air-draughts. Four other men had also entered the mine; and one of them, unaware of the danger, lighted a candle and affixed it to the side of the wall f ono of the bays. The disturbed gas driven along the %orkings by Seddon came in contact with the lighted oandle, and a terrific explosion took pla - ie, killing one man on the spot, and injuring the other four in the most shocking manner. They were got out of the mine as speedily as possible, and Mr. Brideoak, surgeon, cf Leigb, and Mr. Croston, of Chowbent, were speedily in attendance upon the sufferers. Notwithstanding every attention, they died the following day (Sunday).—Mon ehes'er Examiner. Thu Hoe DUTY .The Sussex( Express says : "As the period fixed for the payment of the second in stalmelt of MS duty is rapidly approaching, the ques don of what is to be done in future relative to the duty in general naturally fixes the attention of the grower to the consideration of the best method to obtain relief from the obnoxious impost. On this point, as unfirtu rat.ly on many others in which agricultural interests are coacerned, ther3 is a great diffe. - ence of opinion, and it is much to be regretted that some medium mea sure °intuit be suggeated Chet would reconcile the coil fl:cting interests a East and Mid Kent and Sussex. We had hoped that the important mect!ng held at Staple hurat last year would in aiv e degree have accom plished this desideratum; but it appears that there is ,t;11 a want of unanimity, as to the re'ief required, be t xeeri Mid. and East Kent. The nearest approach, we believe, to a general good understanding on the subject is expressed in the petition recently agreed to at Marden: Thlt your petitioners have for many years suffered severely from the excestdve duty on hops, and earnestly entrtat your Honourable House to repeal thEt part of the duty called the war duty, and the five per seat. ad ditional, thereby reducing the duty to Id. per pound.'" ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND WONDEZFUL ESCAPE. —On Thursday morning, the 7th inst., the wife of Mr. B.C. Planner, of the Horse Shoe Inn, Newmarket, at tempted self-destruction by jumping dowa a well, wkile labouring under mental derangement. The unfortunate woman, who is in an advanced state of pregnancy, left her tot about Lair o'clock (her husband being uncon scious of her absence), went to the well, and junii ed down it. Her escape was certainly miraculous, having sustained no other perceptible injury than a .light abt a sion on her fees. The well is near sixty feet deep, w ith, flrtunately, at the time in question, not more than five feet of water in it. After having fallen to the bottom she managed t) get above the water by placing ber back against one side of the well, and her feet on the other, and remained in this posture till the was drawn up. Mr. Balls, carrier, who resides near the well, heard her crying out, and supposirg some one had either fallen in a fit, or a state of intoxication, pattly dressed himteif, and went out, when he was surprised to find tut the noise proceeded from the bottom of the well. He asked who was these, and was answered by Mu. Planner, from the bottom of the well. He immediately roused her husband and those of the surrounding cottages, who, with great promptitude and alalritv, procured ropes, for the re cue, when Mr. S. Store kiaily deecenCel the well, and extricated the poor woman from her perilous situation. Fears were at one time enteitsined that, as Mrs. P. is enceinte, and bad been in the well f,r up wards of an hour and a half, with nothing on but her night dress, the result would be serious. We are in formed that she has been in an infirm state of mind for months past, but is now rap idl y progressing to a state o f convalescence. We have j ust heard t prematurely delivered of a son o n Sunday last, and t'oks hat she Is as b o th mother and child are doin g quite well.—Cambridgelndependent. Independent. DESTRUCTION or TUB LOBSTER TAVERN AT Gramm), BY FIRE.—The Old Lobster Tavern, on ti e bank side , half-a-mile below Gravesend—a rural and favourite retreat f those who lose green l anes an d a pure air, g sturaay timpered with a ea a br , eze—was on 'll>t:firne.earllyt hathicenbtuicedy, the e d p w e a lt s ingof e d le c e s s tr s o t y or e . m d or vene rable in its annuity. The fi t e was brat perceived is suing from the western angle f the building, an.l in a the totally pit shot t time spread with a rapidity which wrapped the pile at all points in a sheet of flame of intense power, but short duration. Like most of the snug old taverns of former times, the Lobster was composed principally of wood, and hence its rapid reduction to ashes by the action of the fire. The flames ex . ended to, and communicated with some cattle sheds, which were rapidly reduced to ruins.

DRAWING SCHOOLS FOR ARTIZANS, CAMDEN-TOWN. —An evening drawing school for art . zana has been pro posed to be opened in Camden-town, the Government Sehool cf Design not being available to this class, from iti locality and fixed course of study. It is considered by the promoters of the present siaeme that England greatly requires, at the present moment, tasteful work men, the more especially as she has thrown the gauntlet to foreign countries which hold an advantage in this respect. A number of manufacturers and others have therefore proposed the means alluded to, to obviate in some mea•ure this serious disadvantage, and a meeting was to be held on Thursday evening, to devise means to carry out this proposition—too late for us to d o more in our present number tha n mention the intention, and express our good wishes in favour of it. —Builder. MATCH AGAINST TIAiR.—In consequence of some influential speculators on horse-racing doubting that any man un d e r twenty years of age could be found to acc omplish the feat of walking twenty miles in three hours, a feat that had only been performed in that time by the celebrated Charles Westhall, when he was backed by the Marquis of Waterford—one of the members of Tattersall 's offered to bet 1001. tbat William Spooner, of would achieve the task, which being Turnham-green , accepted, the match cane off on Saturday, over a measure mile of ground, about Bedfont, about three miles beyond Ilounslow, and bets, amounting t) about 2,0001. depended on the result. About tmo o'clock Spooner, who is standing wall-made young man, standin about fi ve feet 6 4 inches, and weighing 9st., started.

A liberal subscription was imme diately entered into fur him, which is likely to be much muchincreased at the next meeting at Mr. Beeton'e, Milk-street, Chgapside, the betting rendezvous. GREAT EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF ALL NA TIONS,—We understand that considerable preparations are making for a meeting to be held on Thursday next at Willis's Rooms, at &even o'clock, in order to promote the success cf this great national undertaking, and a very strong muster of the aristocra c y may be looked for. lt is expected that among oth ers Lord Carlisle, Lord Can ning, the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Dour, and the Ho nourable F.

What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, G 7 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, 'Esq., to Sir. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach.of every poor family.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fartunately happens that the unhappy sictim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con scquences, unwisely entertains a fear of apslyins to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. EJ WERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.
