The quantity now on passage to London is about 13,000 casks. The late large additions to the stock here, which is now 36,361 oaks, have produced much inactivity in the demand, the delivery last week having been confined to 2,387 casks. In prices, however, no material change has taken place. To-day fine Ukraine is quoted at 39s 9d, and other qualities of P.Y.C. 38s 6d per cwt.

OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) CHARGE ( F RAPE.—Hen'y Johnston, 21 years of age, describal as an engineer, but an ill-clothed, dirty looking man, was placed at the bar on an indictment charging him with feloniously and carnally knowing and abusing Catherine Davis, she being under 10 years of age. Mr. Platt conducted the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ripton. The evidence, which was of a nature necessarily unfit for publication, went fully to establish the prisoner's guilt, and also that be had c3mmunicated a loathsome disease to the poor child, who was only five years of age. Mr. RIPTON addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that an injury to the extent spoken to by the witnesses for the prosecution could not by possi- bility have been inflicted on a child of such tender years. The RECORDER having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for life. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER ' S. — John Hobbs, John Smith, and George Epps, were placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, the former prisoner charged with robbing his employer, Mr. William Mitchell, land lord of the Mason's Arms, Oxford-market, and the two latter with aiding and assisting him in committing the same. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Hobbs had been in his service as potman for more than twelve months, and the utmost confidence was place d in him. For the last few months witness had missed at different times a considerable quantity of money from his till, and not having the least suspicion that the prisoner was the thief, he taxed his two sons with taking the money, which they denied. Witness then communicated with the police, and, by their advice, placed several marked pieces of money in the till. On Sunday morning, having previously ar ranged with two of the detective officers of the E divi sion, he let them in about six o'clock and secreted them in a room overlooking all the lower part of the house, and in about an hour afterwards the constable detected the whole of the three prisoners coming from his bar, and took them into custody. Sargent, 65 E, said at six o'clock on Sunday morning he went in company with Sergeant Smith to the pro secutor's house, and secreted themselves in an empty room overlooking the bar and the lower part of the house. Shortly after seven o'clock the prisoner Smith came down stairs followed by Hobbs and the other prisoner, and after going into the tap-room, Hobbs went to the bar-door and unlocked it by means of a key, which he took from his pocket. He then called to the other prisoners to come to him, and witness saw him draw a pot of ale and hand it to the prisoner Smith, who took it into the tap-room. The prisoner then passed a bottle of ginger-beer to Epps, who also left the bar. Witness then saw the prisoner Hobbs go to a drawer and take out a quantity of cigars and tobacco, which he put into his pocket Ile then heard the pri soner rattle about the money in the till, and as he was leaving the bar witness pounced upon him, and took him into custody. The other two prisoners were taken in charge by Sergeant Smith. On searching Hobbs wit ness found three shillings, all marked money, a quantity of cigars, and about twenty screws of tobacco in his pockets, and on subsequently searching his box he found 2/. 15s. in gold and silver, a cigar case full of :cigars, and several bottles of spirits; the marked money and the other property was identified by the prosecutor as having been taken from the bar. Wit ness then conveyed him to the station. Sergeant Smith proved taking charge of the prisoners Smith and Epps in the tap-room. He found Smith with a pot of ale and Epps with a bottle of ginger -beer, which they were in the act of drinking. The prisoner Hobbs, in defence, said be was very sorry for what he had done. The other prisoners denied all knowledge of the transaction. Mr. HARDAVICK committed them for trial. DARING BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER A POLICEMAN.—(THIS DAY.) This morning, about half-past 3 o'clock, as police constable Goodwin, S 58, was on duty in the Chalcott road, near Primrose-hill, he observed a man, who on coming up to him (the constable) asked the way to Gloucester-road. Goodwin told him that he was walk ing away from it. He then asked the man what he had in his hand, seeing that he was carrying a bag which appeared to contai❑ a heavy bulk. Ile replied that it was his own property, and that he bad worked for it. Goodwin remarked that he did not believe him, and that he must go to the station house. The man walked a short distance, when he suddenly inflicted a wound wiih a knife upon the po liceman's face, which caused the blood to flow. Goodwin grasped hold of the fellow, who attempted to stab him in the abdomen, but was prevented. They struggled and fell; while down he stabbed the policeman twice in the face. They got up, and a desperate struggle again ensued, the policeman being nearly exhausted from loss cf blood and over-exertion. Ile called out loudly for assistance, upon which two of the policemen on the North-Western line went to him, when by their united assistance the man was taken to the station-house in Albany-street, where be gave the name of Williams. In searching him was found 25/. in silver and copper, consisting of crowns, halt-crowns, shillings , &c. Inquiries were instituted, when it was discovered that the money was the property of Mr. G. Seeton, landlord of the Dublin Castle, Park street, Camden-town, who had deposited the money in a cupboard in the bar parlour and in the till. It is sup posed that the thief must have concealed himself in the taproom. The knife (a table-knife) with which he stabbed Goodwin was Mr. Seeton's. Goodwin is under the doctor's handr. RAIN WATER AT RAILWAY STATIONS.—A corre spondent of the Builder says— Having observed, in a recent number an article on the neglect of rain-water which falls en house-tops, it appeared to me that a much more important use than is there mentioned is also neglected, viz., with regard to locomotives. Your correspondent gives 14 gallons to the square foot per annum. Now, many railways have, not square feet, but acres of roof, and as one acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, which gives 609,840 gallons of soft water per annum on one acre of roof, the advantages which would follow are these :-Ist. The water would be had for the ex pense of the cistern. 2nd. Less consumption of coke, as rain-water boils easier than hard. 3rd. The boilers would not be incrusted. Lunicaous AIisTAKE.—A man near Leeds was sent one day last week, by a neighbouring woman who Las lately been confined, with a message to the clerk of the church, requesting that she might have the ceremony of " churching" pertoi med. The worthy friend informed the clerk's wife that he wanted " a woman axing to church." The clerk's wife, supposing that he wanted the b anns of me!. riage published, asked his name, which he gave, and also the name p o u f bl t i li cl e y w i o ,y man, which, being entered in t he book, was read toni,hment o f t h e c the o n c g h r u e r g c a h t i o f un whoct i on a were y e , r e tosurprth e ised l i t t t o l e h a e a s r a man asked in church with his neighbour's wife. A STALE TRicg.—A few days ago attempts were made by a party of swindlers to play a trick upon some tradespeople of this town. The plan was for two persons to call with a large basket full of shoes for sale at a certain price. The purchase was of course declined, and the parties went away, leaving one or two pairs behind them, which had been bought in order to get rid of their importunities. In a short time afterwards a well-dressed man entered t he shop, repurchased th e s h oes, r nd gave an order for a gross or two to be ready for him, and be would call the next morn ing, having oneng a which ready wasmarket not l f i o k r e l them t i o tiank theoth another trick tc being town.

(II; \.NI) "rl - 9N r7r,N.1,1 s . deo(t: eveniniz, and the enthusiasm which was created in the crowded theatre by the appearance of the great Eng lish tenor in the orchestra was immense ; his recep tion was magnificent. He was in excellent voice, and never have we heard Beethoven's far-famed " Ade laida" more beautifully rendered than it was on Sa turday evening by Mr. Sims Reeves. He afterwards sang Bellini's delicious " A to o care," with exquisite intensity of expression. The regular operatic quartette version of this de lightful composition was given, and Mr. Sims Reeves was admirably supported by Mrs. Alexander Newton, M. Jules Lefort, and M. Jules Stockhausen. In the second part he sang Balfe's beautiful ballad "In this old chair," with such intense pathos as to secure for it an unanimous and enthusiastic encore. Mademoiselle Angri sang Rossini's " Cie] Pietoso," from the opera of Zelmira. Her rich contralto tones told with immense effect in this far-famed cavatina, which she was called upon to repeat, as a matter of course. Madame Biscaccianti sang Alexander Lee's beautiful aria " La Napolitaine" very smoothly and pleasingly, and was much applauded. The first part commenced with Beethoven's sympathy in C, the performance of which by the orchestra, under the excellent direction of Balfe, was as near an approach to perfection as may be. The second part opened with the overture to Masaniello, which was performed with infinite spirit, and rapturously encored.

The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, walked early this morning in Osborne Park and grounds. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel the Hon. C. Grey and Lieut.-Colonel Seymour, reached Osborne, on return from York, about hall-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty and his Roy al Highness, and the Princess Royal, and the Ladies and Gentlemen of the royal household, attended Divine service at Whip pingham Church this forenoon. Sir James Clark arrived yesterday afternoon at Osborne from London. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge bas [eft town for Ireland. Lord John Rimell returned to his residence, Pem broke Lodge, Richmond -park, on Saturday, from York. Dispatchesi from the Governors of Hong-Kong, Ceylon, South Australia, the Mauritius, and Malta, and also from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office.

(From the Times.) On Saturday evening her Mrjesty's Theatre was better attended, perhaps, than on any night since the first of the concerts. This may be attributed to the more solid interest which the performances have lately excited. The great event of the evening was the appearance of Mr. Sims Reeves, who has been anxiously expected from the beginning of the season. There is no singer whatever who is sogreat a favourite at concerts addressed to the multitude. This was clearly shown by the lasting enthusiasm which he created at the " - Wednesday Concerts" at Exeter-hall. His reception on Saturday night was fully commen surate with his popularity, and Beethoven's "Ade laide" and Balfe's ballad "In this old chair," which he sang with his wonted feeling, were heartily en cored. A concerto composed by M. Molique, and played for the first time by that admirable musician, was another interesting feature. The last movement is remarkably brilliant. The chorus of the Berlin Chapel Royal is announced to appear on Monday, the 4th of November. Great things are anticipated of this celebrated vocal corps, who will introduce for the first time in this country several part-songs and other works composed by Mendelssohn while director of church music to his Majesty the King of Prussia. In the meanwhile such performances as those of M. Alo lique, and the constant introduction of symphonies by the great masters (on Saturday we had Beethoven's symphony in C), give great weight to the instrumen tal department. SPORTING NOTES. No. 18.

Sin,—The heading (for motto it can hardly be called) to this note is almost too strong for a frail mortal like myself to use; for, although gifted with some slight pre tensions to foresight, or rather, I should say, to sound judgment in all matters connected with the turf, founded, as they are, on a close observation of men and character (highly necessary), of horses, their powers of staying, pace, and other qua lities—on what is taken into but little consideration, the peculiar nature of the various courses they have to run over; and last, but not least, on first-class informa tion, these concomitants necessary to the making of a Frampton, a Mellish, a Bentinck, or a Rous; in other words, a crack judge of horseflesh and a success ful speculator in the ring, am I more or less possessed of, yet I am by no manner of means infallible, as my prog nostication on the Cesarewitch has testified. I selected .Landgrave as the winner of that race, and am still of opinion that had not the jockey's strength failed him at the finish he must have won—as it was, he was only beaten half a length from the %sinner; Glauca admirably tooled by Chapple clearing Mr. Clark's chair first, by a neck from Essedarius, who with all the weight (Bst. 51b.), by the masterly handling of Alfred Day, obtained a long neck the advantage of Landgrave; immediately in the rear of the latter was the Squire's Fugleman and Trouncer close together ; behind these and leading the ruck was Bolingbroke followed by Backbiter and Wanota ; the rest were scattered here, there, and everywhere. That rattling son of Melbourne and Pantalonade, the Prime Minister, one of ray Derby team, verified my anticipations, and justified the good opinion I have entertained of him for the last year or two, in fact ever since he was foaled, by winning the Clearwell in a very off-hand style by two lengths, beating Confidence (to whom he gave slbs., and a 7lbs. beating at the leash; by the way, Confidence is said to have given Prestige some 7lbs. and beaten her easily; verbum sap. Think of this performance, and the Premier's Derby chancel), Turtle who was third, and some half-dozen others. This vic tory elevated him almost to the premiership in the Derby betting, the prices, 7 to 1 agst him, and 13 to 3 agst The Grecian. Those who took my advice a year ago and backed him (as I know some did) at 100 to 1, stand in a very enviable position. I still place unlimited confi dence in the Premier, and think he will bear down all opposition (if well) at the National Pastime Exhibition on the Downs of Epsom next Derby day. I understand Mr. Halford has been offered 5,0001. fur him, refused it, and declared that 10,0001. Consols would not buy him! The Houghton Meeting at Newmarket commences on Monday, as usual, with the 50 Sovs. Plate, and has five other sweepstakes (including the Criterion) and two matches on the list for that day. The Criterion Stakes of 30 sovs. each, 20 ft., &c., up rising ground from end to end, has 38 subs., and the following I expect will show, viz.:—Ariosto, Bst 71b; Coticula, 86t 81b; Midas, Bst 131 b, or Phlegra, Bst 1 llb; Mr. Merryman, Bst 71b; Confidence, Set 51b; Scapulary, Sat 71b; Auspach, Bst 515; 800, Bst 71b, or Hernandez, Bst 131 b; and colt by Touchstone out of Mountain Sylph, Bst 71b; a few others may have a" go" for the off-chance; these are, Turpentine, Set 71b; Nondescript, Bst 71b; Miserrima, Bst 81b; the Empress colt, Bst 71b; Confes sor, Bst 71b; and Buckhouud, Bst 101 b. They will not, at any rate, affect the decision. 800 is the only "dark" nag of any importance, and should he be equal to Her nandez, may possibly defeat the Italian poet; but, ex cepting this contingency, I shall stake my sporting re putation on ARIOSTO, and expect to see 800, Confidence, and Mr. Merryman, in close attendance. _ . Tho Cambridgeshire Stakes, the last "great go" of the season, " comes or on Tuesday, and, there is every rea son to believe, a field but little inferior in number to that which started (when The Widow won this stake in 1847, when I had the pleasure of seeing the greatest number of starters (37) that ever ran for any race in England, charging up the course in grand array) will be brought to the post to contest the palm of victory.

Landgrave claims my first attention; I will dispose of him in a few words—in my opinion, he could have won the Cesarewitch, and he can wi n t h e Cambridgeshire; whether he will or not, the grest arbiter of human events, Time, must decide. Load stone attracts all the aristocratic magnets; he will run very forward, but as the absolute victor, I cannot have him; his stable companion, Borneo, if run on his merits, and not sacrificed to Loadstone (as I expect he will be) would be very likely to do • the-boys, and thus realise his ex- cognonsination. Dawson's hops, The Italian, may run fourth or fifth, I cannot award him a nearer place to Fortune's temple. The mention of this horse's name the other night at one of our most sporting club-houses, started a theme, anything but sporting, but one that is just now agitating that (in our favoured isle) all-power ful engine, the press; and that is the appointment of a Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, &c. We might say, in the immortal Shaksperc's words— " Thou canst not, Cardinal, devise a name So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous, To charge me to tby control, as the Pope. Tell him this tale; and from the mouth of England, Add thus much more,—that no Italian priest Shall tithe or toll in our dominions." If the Italian's chance of winning the Cambridgeshire was no greater than the establishment of the Pope's su premacy in England, it would be small indeed; especially after the terrific battery which, I perceive by to• day's paper, was opened on the Wise-man of Westminster f rom five can(n)ons of that ancient city. " But what's this to the purpose? you will say. Gentle reader, nothing; a mere speculation, For which my sole excuse is—'tis my way, Sometimes; with, and sometimes without occasion, I write what's uppermost, without delay." The King of Oude I cannot fancy, his majesty is bought and sold." Russborough is over-weighted, so I'm afaid is Essedarius, but, notwithstanding, the latter will be extremely handy. Sir R.

By the royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Leitch, we have advices from Boston to the 16th inst., and from New York, by telegraph, via Halifax, to the 17di inst. The royal mail steam-ship America arrived at Halifax on the 16th inst. The Asia was spoken at nine P.m. on the 19th inst. in lat. 45 22 N., long. 53 25 W. The Canadian news is unimportant. Preparations were making on n large scale for a grand industrial exhibition which was to commence on the 17th inst. The r'''ational Intelligencer says that the British Government had withdrawn all its demands for port and other dues from the harbour of San Juan de Nicaragua and the navigation of that river. We have Havannah advices to the Bth inst. The Governor had disbanded the volunteers through fear of revolt, and every preparation had been made to re sist a renewed invasion. The sales of sugar were small in consequence of high prices. Coffee in good demand. Disturbances were apprehended at Detroit on the 12th, in consequence of the Fugitive Slaves Bill. A large body of negroes had assembled outside the town. A negro had been arrested as a slave, but the inhabi tants intended to buy him off. A disturbance had occurred at Boston during one of Jenny Lind's concerts, in consequence of over crowding. (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.) The steamer Arctic sailed on her trial trip to-day. The American news, as read in New Orleans on Tuesday evening, ten minutes a head of time, gave, yesterday, increased firmness to the cotton market. There is no news of the California mails. The stock market continues active, and with ad vancing prices, especially the fancies. The Govern ment Sixes, '67, sold to•day at 117 k; Indiana State Fives, 80; Ohio Sevens, 106. Quotations of prices for cotton, flour, wheat, and Indian corn are precisely as when the Cambria's mails left. The Dutch Consul at New Orleans was arrested on Saturday for a debt when going on board the steam-ship Africa. On his return to America, ulti mately an arrangement was come to, and he was re leased, but great indignation was expressed at the conduct of the sheriff's officer, who postponed the execution of his duty until the steamer had got under weigh. HARWICH RAILWAY SAND PIER. #,‘ 'he p 7. ve.7, .~ :., i":ia'~'~" .. [IP •• only instalments of the long-promised Harwich branch line. For many long months they have excited the wonder of many, and the irony of not a few ; but during the whole period they have been silent monu ments reared over the grave of the richest re sources of which the Eastern Counties can boast, and, viewed aright, are especially eloquent wi,h the inscription, " Sacred to the memory of Harwich !" We have from time to time felt it our duty to call attention to the natural resources enjoyed by the port of Harwich, but which, from a series of fatalities, have for ninny years been utterly neglected. We purpose now to consider the greatest hardship under which Harwich is suffering—we mean the want of a railway connecting it with the towns in these districts and with the metropolis. These are bad times for a successful railway-making agitation, but there are peculiarities in the Harwich case that justify a vigorous enforcement of its claims in this respect. o long back as 1836 it was proposed to make a railway to this port, and a prospectus was issued which very fairly set forth its claims; a delay, how ever, in the construction of the Eastern Counties line, and other circumstances, led to its abandonment, when another proposition succeeded, having the sanction of the Eastern Counties Company, whose line had then reached Colchester. These promoters also issued their prospectus, but vexatious Parliamen tary difficulties beset them ; however, in 1845 an agreement was mutually entered into and signed by the Eastern Counties and Eastern :Union Companies, by which it was provided that the Eastern Union Company should purchase the two-and-a-half miles of railway next to Colchester, and should make a railway branch from Manningtree to Harwich and a pier, which should be leased to the Eastern Counties Company at a rental of 4i per cent. on the cost. The latter company also covenanted to have certain privileges in running their trains from Colchester to Manningtree. On this agreement being made and signed on behalf of the companies by the two respective secretaries, the most confident hopes were felt that at last all impediments had been removed, and that the works would rapidly progress. But again the friends of the undertaking were doomed to disappointment, for it was not until 1847—two years after this agreement had been signed—that Parliament gave its sanction to the construction of the railway. In this Act a clause was introduced for leasing the Harwich line, but which required the sanction of another meeting as to the specific terms. Now, although the Eastern Counties Company bad solemnly pledged itself to take a lease of the line, and by this pledge had encouraged the other company to seek for Parliamentary powers to construct it, they have, for reasons best known to themselves, never called this special meeting, without the agreement of which in the terms of the lease it is impossible that the Eastern Union Company can proceed. The con sequence is, at the present moment the whole affair is at a dead lock, and the capital expended in it might as well be at the bottom of the harbour. Supposing that the terms originally proposed are now unsuitable, surely, if the Eastern Counties Company wished it, they could be most easily modified, and perhaps to the advantage of each ; in this case the seal of the company could at once be affixed to the agreement, and they would thus wipe their hands clear from any further charge of impeding this highly important undertaking. We trust the directors, standing as they do before a large body of influential, pledged, and we should hope conscientious proprietors, will see that it is their duty to use their immediate endeavours to ratify this lease. More than two years have already passed away since the time when this seal ought to have been affixed ; a further delay may be entirely ruinous to the whole project. Should this company again seriously investigate this matter, and come to terms, we hope they will make this one essential provision, viz., that the works be constructed at once. But, say the Eastern Counties directors, "We can do no good—if we affix our seal to this lease the Eastern Union Company will be unable, from want of funds, to construct the line." With all humility, we would reply, "gentlemen, this is no affair ofyours —be good enough to transact your own business,and then we shall know where the responsibility rests. We must remove the first obstruction before we get to the second. By many of your recorded resolu tions you have stated your belief that this branch will greatly increase your traffic, you have pledged your selves to take a lease of it, and now refuse to do so; the Eastern - Onion Company is afraid to make the line without your promised giarantee, and thus the undertaking is blocked, and at your door lies the disgrace. If you will do your part we shall get out of a world of complexity, and shall speedily be enabled to see of what stuff the Eastern Un - ion directors are made." The bad faith in not carrying out an undertaking to which these companies were solemnly pledged, and for which a large capital has actually been sub scribed, is rendered more notorious by the unusually powerful claims of Harwich and the whole of the eastern district. We really believe if this branch rail way had been made that the pleasure traffic on it would alone have soon paid the 4f per cent. interest on the outlay. Take the facts connected with this traffic during the past summer, and we shall find that the number of pleasure-seekers brought over the Eastern Union lines, and carried on by steamer from Ipswich to Harwich, has been enormous; as many es 10,000 have thus visited the latter place in one week. And it must be borne in mind that this has been effected during the first summer when this peculiar traffic has been systematically developed, and without any aid from the Eastern Counties line, for that company never advertised a single excursion train to this sea-port, although other companies have realised immensely by cultivating this description of excursions. The delay in executing the pro mised work has also been dishonourable to the Go vernment, which, no doubt, on the faith of the pledge given, authorised an expenditure of no less than 100,0001. in order to preserve the magnificent har bour from injury ; but although all this has been done, and an Act of Parliament has been granted, this paltry distance of 10i miles of railway, on the making of which the most vital interests are sus pended, is still unmade. The bad land communica tion between Harwich and the metropolis was the only reason why Government removed away the packet station ; and it seems also past belief, when a main railway has for years almost skirted the port, that a branch has not been made to it. The whole genius of our commercial enterprise renders it certain that Harwich will eventually become the permanent packet station. Swift and certain communications between important points are now-a-days eagerly sought for. The following table, given to the Lords of the Treasury by their own Commissioners, will show how this port stands, by comparison, in this res pect. The saving of time effected by the use of rail ways to Harwich, and from thence by steam to the following different places, is as follows : COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MONEY MARKET.—With :a good demand, the rates of exchange to remit by the Boston steamer on Wednesday have been firm, and at an advance in rates. For sterling there has been considerable business done at 1108 to 1104 and 111 ; 1108 may be considered as the minimum rates for leading bills. Sales of produce bills have been made under these quotations. Cotton—Falcott's circular says, the sales of Saturday, the 12th, were 1,600 bales at full prices. To-day, the sales reported on change were, 1,500 bales Atlantic cot ton; inferior, none on sale. Gulf cottons, inferior none on sale. Ordinary to good ordinary Atlantic, 13k to 161; Gulf; 13k to 14. Middling to good middling. 144 to 14i; Gulf, 148 to 14k. Middling fair, 148 to 14i; Gulf, .148 to 158. Fully fair to good lair, 15 to 15k; Gulf, 15k. We have no improvement to notice in the advices from the south; on the contrary, the estimates are reducing from every section, and 2,100,000 bales, or a crop not varying materially from that of last season, appear to be the now general tenor of the advices received. To this we do nut yet subscribe, wishing to be more fully informed with regard to the districts tributary to New Orleans. The accounts of killing frosts at Memphis are confirme I by telegraph from New Orleans, and the late quotations of middling as 134 c., on Saturday the 12th; but the Europa's unfa vourable advices had nor, we think, had their effect. Breadstuffs.—Flour—The demand for the common brands of State and Western flour was active for the east, but for export it was greatly restricted. Prices of the low and medium brands have improved materially; the amount of Canadian offering to-day us last; also the demand for good brands here held at 4 dolls. 75c.; In diana, Michigan, and Ohio at 4 dolls. 62c. to 4 dolls. 75c.; and pure Genessee, 5 dolls. l2ic. to 5 dolls. 1840. In Southern flour there was no particulas change, while the market was steady. In meal there was not much on the market, which was quiet. Sales of 100 bolls were made at 3 dolls. 12ic. for Jersey. Both the supply of and demand for wheat was good, and we note sales of 17,500 bushels of fair to fine white Michigan, at 1 doll. Tic. to 1 doll. 10c.; prime Genessee, at 1 doll. 14c., which shows a considerable reduction; 13,000 bushels of Cana dian, at 99c. Oats have not varied; we quote Northern at 30c. to 41c.; and Jersey are 37c. to 39c. Corn was firm, and the demand fair. Freights to Europe—Freights aro dull. Engagements have been made for cotton to Liverpool at 1 doll. per bale; flour, ls. 3d. to 15. 4d.; grain, 4d. To Glasgow, flour, ls. 6d. to ls. 9d. To Antwerp, cotton, id. To Hamburgh, ashes, dye-goods, &c., 205.; cotton, id. To Amsterdam, ashes, 20s. To London, tobacco, 20s. to 255.; flour, Is. 6d. to Is. 9d.; measurement goods, 20s. to 30s. To Havre, I. A YOUTHFUL ANGLING FEAT.-A remarkable feat for a boy of nine years of age was accomplished on Saturday afternoon. Master R. Dennistoun, son of Richard Dennis toun, Esq., while fishing with a trouting rod in the Tweed opposite Sharpitlaw Mill, hooked a large salmon, and, after a very fatiguing run of about two hours and a quarter, suc ceeded in landiug it, when it was found to be of the great weight of 21ilbs. The rod with which the fish was Captured was a present to the youthful sportsman from the Duchess of Roxburghe ; and this was the first occasion on which it had been used—an auspicious handsel.—Kelso Chronicle. COLLISION ON THB SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.- Last night (Sunday) an accident of a very alarming charac ter, which might have been attended with a serious loss of _ _ life, occurred on the South-Western Railway, near the Rich mond station. The 6.30 train from Waterloo to Windsor, having left at the usual time, proceeded as far as Richmond without meeting with any interruption, and shortly after wards a train of empty carriages came along the same fine of metals—sufficient time having elapsed for the first train to have got clear away, but the damp state of the weather, and the great quantity of leaves which had fallen from the trees and settled upon the rails, made them extremely slippery, so that the Windsor train found some difficulty in getting up the incline over the river, and the consequence was that the empty train overtook the preceding one on the incline. In an instant a horse-box and carriage-truck were thrown com pletely over the wall into the park below. At the same time, a break-van was shattered to pieces. The guard of the damaged train, on hearing the train that was following behind him, jumped out of the van for the purpose of giving the signal for the engine-driver to stop, but before sufficient time had elapsed to do so, the collision occurred. Had he been in the van at the time, there is no doubt but he must have been killed. Although the passengers by the Windsor train were greatly terrified, no one sustained the slightest personal injury. EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO Horxmcan —The line of electric telegraph from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, is now being staked out by the Electric Telegraph Company. The completion of the wire to Holyhead will materially abridge the time now taken in the transmission of intelligence from Dublin, which will then only occupy between two and three hours iu con veyance across channel by the packet. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The Lord Mayor, accompanied by a distinguished party of gentlemen, will this day leave the London-bridge terminus of the South- Eastern Railway for Ashford, whence his Lordship will pro ceed along the new line for Hastings, and formally complete the works of that branch, by placing the closing brick in the tunnel between St. Leonards and Hastings. Every pre paration has been made for the due reception of his Lordship and party. THE RAILWAY CURE FOR DEAFNESS.-A. very singular case of cure of deafness from travelling on the rail way has just come under our notice. Shortly atter the p ing of the Oxford and Banbury R a il wa y an e ld er l y ladyo,uelino had been perfectly deaf for nearly eight years previously, started by that railway from this city for the purpose of pay ing a visit to her relatives in Banbury. Having only once before travelled by rail, and then but a short distarce, she got a friend to accompany her to the station, to procure her ticket, and to put her into the proper carriage, as she felt too nervous to go there alone. Her friend accordingly saw her safely seated, and before leaving she observed to her that she was quite certain she should never have got properly off had not some one accompanied her. During her journey. what with the speed with which she travelled, the noise created by the train passing under the bridges, and the screaming of the whistle, her nervousness seemed to have so inoreased, that she suddenly felt something in her ear give way with a slight noise, and to her great joy she found, before arriving at Banbury, that her hearing was perfectly restored to her, and so it has continued, to the no small gratification of herself and her friends. The case has come under our immediate obser vation, for we saw the lady shortly before she went to Ban bury, aid we have seen her since she came back ; we can, therefore, vouch for the facts as we have stated them. — Oxford Journal. THE JENNY LIND MANlA.—Extravagant as is the mania raging among our Transatlantic neighbours about Jenny Lind, we question whether a more amusing instance of it was not furnished during her residence in this metro polis. Being on one occasion slightly indisposed, it was pro posed that she should try the water cure, and the hydro patbic establishment, Sudtrook-park, near Richmond, was the place suggested. This got wind in certain quarters, and in a day or two the director was astonished to receive from numbers of individuals of rank and wealth proposals to enter the establishment immediately. Some were affected with premonitary symptoms of rheumatism, others were nervous, and all thought that a week or two's water treatment would be peculiarly efficacious in their cases, especially when united with pure air and cheerful society, and they requested to know if all the patients did not meet at the same table. The director was delighted, and foresaw a large accession of those watery enthusiasts who never cease declaiming on the tran quil delights of the wet sheet, and the boisterous exhilaration of the douche bath. But, alas! some trifling circumstance altered Jenny's plan s, and the visit to Sudbrook w as aban doned. More extraordinary cures than hydropathy ever performed took place immediately. Rheumatisms lied with the rapidity o f a charm , and the only nervousness exhibited by the ladies was lest they should be taken at thei r wor d s , and subjected to hydropathic discipline. Wuani IS BARNUM ?—Jenny Lind has given to the charities of Boston 10,000 dollars. She gave to the chari ties of New York, also, 10,000 dollars. In all she has already given 20,000 dollars in Heaven-directed charities Where is Barnum ? How much has he given in charity ? He gets more than one-half of the proceeds of every concert. lie has already pocketed probably 150,000 dollars. Where are his charities? How much has he lent to the Lord? or does he consider such a claim from Heaven as a demand for black mail? Where is Barnum? A. reward of 50 &liars will be paid for finding him.— New York Herald. Sin , E. B. LYTTON.—There is a rumour current that Sir E. B. Lytton has sustained a dire calamity—the en tire loss of his hearing For some time one of Sir Edward's ears has been defective; and it is stated that, whilst recently undergoing an operation at an aurist's in town, Sir Edward suddenly lost the use of both ears, and has been in a very desponding way ever since. We sincerely hope that the re ort may not prove true.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. By steamer I By railway from and steamer Saving of Route. London from time. direct. Ilarwich. adon and Hamburgh CO hours • 30 hours 30 hours „ and Holland ... 22 „ 10i London and Hamburgh CO hours 30 hours 30 hours and Holland ... 22 „ 1l „ 10 „ „ and Antwerp .. 25 „ 11i „ 13} „ „ and Ostend ... . 15 „ S If 7 PP „ mid Dunkirk ... 15 „ 8 „ 7 a This table is calculated on a sea voyage in calm weather—in bad weather the difference would be immense. Similar advantages would also be enjoyed by vessels voyaging from the north, which are vow obliged to track the dangerous navigation of the Swin, and to waste their time in threading the long and tedious channels of the Thames. Putting aside for a moment the fact that Harwich is the only good harbour on the eastern coast, that it will afford good shelter and anchorage to an immense fleet in any wind that . blows, and that during the p as t s eason at least sixty-five thousand persons visited the place as pleasure seekers, let us briefly advert to the circumstance that the port is admirably situated for the North Sea fishery ; 370 s a il s o f smac k s f rom Greenwich, Barking, Gravesend, and Torbay, are engaged at the Dogger, Well, and Brown Banks, Smith's Knoll, and the Galloper, in the pursuit of their unceasing trade, and the fibh is from thence conveyed to London. Now all these vessels (those going to Whitstabl e excep t e d) are i n t h e h a bit o f calling at Hrwich for wh e lk s an d musse l s f o r bait, which are kept here in large quantities. But, let the reader mark, that all the fishing-grounds . w e h ave name d, w ith the exception of the Galloper, are ninety miles further from London than they are from Harwich. From a careful investigation into the facts of the case, it has been proved that 40,000 tons of fish are annually conveyed to London from the northern fishing sta tions, the whole of which might be at least 20 hours sooner in London if Harwich were provided with a railway. Of this quantity 15,000 tons are prime and 25,000 are inferior fish, but with ninety miles of sailing saved, hundreds of cargoes that are now destroyed by delay would be preserved, and many tons of fish that now reach the metropolis in an infe rior state would arrive there in first-rate condition. The saving and advantage to the companies engaged in the fisheries would be immense. They would get a better price for a better article, and would have the overwhelming advantage of being first in the market. Nor would this be all. These railway facilities would so increase the fisheries that the various ports on these coasts would at once embark in the enterprise, and thus would be developed oat of the largest and richest resources with which Providence has blessed us. The effect all this would have upon the railway, as a paying concern, must b e obvious; lest, however, we should over-estimate it, we may state that Captain Washington, after a careful exa mination, arrived at the conclusion that the con vneuyeannfclexofolshpe o li u v l e d k al one . tis known ra ilwayreve r In bpardociwuecae a ther, that if Harwich had a railway it would supply London %1 I 1 fish whop it could come from no ether source. is s of this Yore felt, that every fish factor in Billingsgote signed a petition that Harwich might be connected with the metropolis by railway, in order, first, that the public might have good and nutritious fish ; second, that those engaged in the North Sea fisheries might not be further injured ; and third, that this best nursery for seamen might not be neglected. A petition for a railway was also signed by every mercantile firm in London connected with the northern trade ; it stated that this port was the best point of communication with Holland; that it could be entered in all weathers and in all tides; that mails from Harwich would reach Holland by the time mails from London left the Thames; that lines from Hol land and Germa n y l ea di ng t o Trieste, an important road to the Levant, India, and China, were being constructed, together with other advantages which we stay not now to enumerate—we may, however, just remark, that Lieutenant Waghern spoke warmly in favour of this route to Trieste. The report of the Go vernment Commissioners was equally conclusive of the importance of Harwich, and the desirability of connect ing it by railway with the metropolis. In fact, in 1849, the Government actually invited tenders for conveying mails from Harwich to the Continent; the offer of one party was accepted, but difficulties about the rail way defeated the project, and a renewal of the offer will not be made mail the communication is com pleted. Regarding passenger traffic, Captain Wash ington ascertained that 1,500 annually left the Thames for Harnburgb, Rotterdam, and Antwerp ; these, he contends, instead of suffering " two nights of bugs, bilge-water, and misery," might on a summer's morn ing take the rail at six o'clock, embark at Harwich at nine, and land at Rotterdam by daylight! We might thus go on accumulating the evidence that renders a railway to Harwich a necessary thing, until we have tired out our readers patience, and en larged this article to inconvenient length. The case as we have given it must for this week suffice. A railway to Harwich must be completed, and that speedily. Undeveloped resources in this district de mand it; Government and the country, as a mark of good faith, demand it; the mail service demands it; travellers, and importers and exporters of goods, demand it; the northern fisheries demand it; the whole shipping interests demand it ; excurtionists demand it ; and lastly, an Act of Parliament, capital raised, and solemn pledges given, all imperiously demand it Express. PONTIFICAL NEWS. (From Punch.) His Eminence Cardinal Pants Leone, Legate of His Holiness, has arrived at the Golden cross, Charing cross; and is bearer of a message to the Chief of the British Government, demanding the usual acknowledg-' went on the part of the Sovereign of Great Britain, which has been always and from all time a fief of the Holy See. In case of obstinate recusancy (which is not appre hended) his Eminence is commissioned to proclaim the Prince of Lucca as Sovereign of these islands, the Prince being direct and undoubted descendant of those legiti mate monarchs of England who were driven by rebellion, the one to death, and the other to exile, from their neigh bouring palace cf Whitehall. The Holy Father has appointed Monsignor Snooks Lord Chancellor ot England, vice Lord Truro, who has not resigned. But the office of Lord Chancellor was al ways held by ecclesiastics in England in the good times ot the Church, and Monsignor Snooks will take his seat in the Char.cellor's Court at the commencement of next term.—Driblet. His Holiness has conferred upon Monsignor Snucchi, the new Lord Chancellor of England, the title of Mar quis Saint Bartholomew's of Smithfield.—Diaro di Roma. Lodgings have been taken in the New -cut, Lambeth, fo: his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Vauxhall, until the (titular) Archbishop of Canterbury has vacated the Palace, which belongs, of right, to the Primates of England. Sir. Sumner has been offered the place of parish to dle, which it is hefleved he will accept. The Right Rev. Dominic Barefoot, Bishop of Pad dington, looked over the outside of London-house, in St. James's-square, yesterday, and thence prccocdcd by the omnibus to Fulham, his Lordship's residence, near London. Urnil the Palace at Fulham is ready for his Lord ship's accommcdation, the reverend preli.te has en gaged a temporary residence, No. 42, River-lane, Putney, over the mufin•man's, where the faithful who wish to attend his levees will please to ring the two-pair bell. Very few alterations will be requisite in the churches of the archdeaconay of Pimlico, which will be given over to the orthodox clergy at the new year. It has been judged, however, that the ornaments of the church of St. Barnabas are of so exceedingly antiquated and cumbrous a inature that the ecclesiastical architects of H. 11. are engaged in whitewashing the interior of the building, and simplifying the arrangements, so as to suit the present time. On INTilLesday morning last the statue of Saint Mary axe, opposite the Post-office, began winking its left eye in so convincing a manner that 33 letter-carriers and two commercial gentlemen, staying at the Bull and Mouth, were instantly converted. Mr. Mentz and Colonel Sibthorp have signified their intention to become Capuchin friars, and it is eonfideutly reported that the Memhers for Aldbury and Oldham are in retreat previous to receiving the tonsure. The cathedral church of Smut Peter, in Westminster, will, of course, be restored and resumed by its rightful proprietors; hut it is not intended to make any ecclesi astical use of the large heathen building erected on the site of the ancient Basilica of St. Paul, on Ludgate-hill, oppo.ite to Dakin'a tea warehouse. We understand Madame Tussaud is in treaty for it, and will exhibit her ingenious wax works there at a price little differing from the present charges. Tiae residence - of the Primate of England a ill be opposite the new Cathedral Church of bt. George's in- the-Fields; and the Palace of Bedlam will be prepared for him. CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE OF A POLlCEMAN.—Yes terday Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the George the Fourth, Margaret-street, Clerkenwell, on George Tippell, aged 36, a copper-plate printer, late of 33, Noble-street. Margaret Tippell, deceased's widow, stated that her husband, who had been very dispirited, through change of circum stances, had repeatedly threatened self-destruction ; and on one occasion attempted bleeding himself to death, by cutting his wrists right across and very deeply. On Tuesday morning she went to market, leaving deceased in bed. She returned in a short time, and finding the bedroom door fastened became alarmed, and calling on the police-con stable on duty, desired him to force open the door, which either through fear, or a dread of exceeding his duty, he refused doing until he got another constable, although several persons were present when she asked him to force the door. A full hour elapsed while he went in search of another constable and before the door was opened, when the husband was found hanging dead from the bed post. Mr. Money, the summoning officer, said the police officer was a young man who lately joined the force, which, perhaps, accounted for his hesitation in opening the door. The widow assured the Court of her confidence that her husband's life would have been saved had the door been opened when she requested it. The police-constable denied that he refused opening the door. The Coroner, on summing up, censured the constable's conduct, and expressed a hope that it would in future be a caution to him to act with more promptitude under similar circumstances, as in all probability deceased's life might have been saved had he in the first instance forced open deceased's door. The jury, who reite rated the coroner's remarks, returned a verdict of " Tempo rary Insanity." A RASH SIJSPENSION.—Suspension by ether is not uncommon ; but what will steady going folks say to suspen sion by a bell-pull. A rash young currier of tnis city had " loved" a fair servant maiden, living at Matford-house, the residence of J. Miltord, Esq., to positive distraction. She had first reciprocated his ardent affection, but lo I the damsel becomes inconstant,: and refuses any longer to welcome his attentions. The 'youth throws himselt into violent " love fits," determines to " have her in •marriage," and rushes in despair to the house of her master, but she is cool, moody, and inexorable. The love-sick swain cannot endure it- he madly rushes to the door, slips a noose in his scarf, and actually hangs himself to the bell-pull ! The rashness of the suicidal act causes the bell of the house to ring. The family were alarmed, and Mr. Milford came to the door, when to his great consternation he saw the youth dangling about in a grotesque and ludicrous manner. He N, as cut down, a constable sent for, and then taken before two magistrates, who fined him 6s. 6d. for this exhibition of mad-brained folly.— Weste) n Times. THE DUCHESS OF IIONTPENSIEII.—The Queen of Spain has authorised the Duchess to travel for a month out of the Spanish territory. She will accompany her husband to visit Queen Marie Acnelie,to offer her her consolations on liar recent loss. APPOINTMENTS.—The General Board of Health have appointed Mr. H. R. Williams, the accountant of the General Steam Icily ig ati on Company, to be treasurer and ac countant under the Metropolitan Interment Act. Mr. Williams will quit the private for the public service. Mr. H. Sickling is appointed Master of the Supreme Court at South Australia. We understand that the Rev. G. Mansfield, of Trinity Church, Trowbridge, has been censured by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, kr refusing, without cause, to adminis ter the Holy Communion to a member of the Church.—De. vizcs Gazette. TOSSING FOR A VERDICT.—A report, which has spread in the town, that the jury who were locked up at the Hull ressions, on Monday tight, in one of the railway cases, " tossed up" for Their verdict, is wholly false and without the slightest foundation.— Hull Advertiser. ROYAL COLLEGE, CHELSEA.—The grand military musical festival, which has already received the patronage of her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Al beit, will be held, by the kind permission of Major-General Sir Colin Halket, in the gardens of the Royal Hospital, in the spring of the ensuing year. Wo understand that on Thursday last, the 17th inst., Mr. Malcom Maclennan, Inverness, was admitted a solicitor and procurator before the Sheriff and other courts of Inverness-shire. Mr. Maclennan has been for several years assistant to John Mackay, Esq., Procurator-Fiscal for the county.—lnverness Courier. PARTRIDGE SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.
