ROYAL MARINE Ir. Her Majesty has, by order in Council dated sth instant, been pleased to direct that the corps of Royal Marines shall consist of 102 diviAional and,, 10 artik FlOry camvanies Ao4-110 MajeSt 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 : Eich 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 bombadiera, 3 drummers, 125 gunners; total, 1..50. Making t h e 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. 16.—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 knoeked 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 bare 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 w ith 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. Her 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 Majesty's ship Albion. Ten boys were on Monday entered as shipwrights' apprentices, and two to ropemakers. TUE REAMAI4'S COMMITTEB.—The Seaman' Com mittee, of which the Admiral of the Fleet is chair man, concluded the collection of evidence on Thurs day, and adjourned for ten days, when 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 DundaF, who, in a written minute to the other members of the board, 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 3,. 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. •ffences.

The Eider steam- vessel, in charge of Lieutenant Sherard and (Morn, 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 - m ill s . Th e Eid e r is to be takeninto 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. The Eider made a most excellent passage round to Woolwich, having left Southampton at 1 30 r.w. 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 character has just issued from the press, called " The Adventures of a Gold Finder." It assumes to he the personal narrative of an Englishman who, whilst exploring unfrequented portions of the new El D ora d o, undergone various extraordlnary adventures amongst the aborigines, and in the society of the motly assemblage from all rations that forms the population of " the dig gins." Encounters with wild beasts, elk shooting, and the other sports of this singular country, are interspersed with so many characteristic anecdotes of yankee specu lators and Indian chiefs, as to afford one of the most animated pictures of California that has hitherto been published, whilst equal entertainment may be drawn from the author's vivid descriptions of the vicissitudes in the life of a goldhunter. It gives us much pleasure to learn, on good autho rity, that by a new system of medical treatment the Duke of Sutherland has been relieved from the deafness under which his Grace 59 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 Buck., and Gog ni sgog, in the county of Cambridge'. The deceased peer was second son of Francis Godolphin, fifth Duke of Leeds, and was born on the 18th of October, 1777. He graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was admitted honorary M.A., 1811. He espoused oil March 31, 1800, the Hon. Elizibeth Charlotte Eden (deceased), daughter of William, first B iron Auckland, by whom his Lordship had issue five sons and one daughter ; of these, three sons only survive. His Lordship is succeeded by his second, but eldest ,itirviving son, the Hon. George Godolphin Osborne, now L-)rd Godolphin, an I cousin and heir presump tive to the Duke of Leeds, and who' was married on the 21st of 0 .tober, 1824, to Miss Stward. The Honourable Willidm G o d o l p hi n Osbor ne, third son of the deceased, ' was aide de-camp to his" uncle, Lord Auckland, when Governor-General of India ; the fourth son, the Hoa. and Reverend Sydney Godolphin --Osborne, is rector of Durweston with Bryanston,. Dersetshire.. . 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 Heistone, in Cornwall, in 1798, and sat-as Member therefor until tbe general election-in 1802, when he- was returned for Lewes, the numbers being—Osborne, 114, Shelley, 179, Kemp, 173. At the' 'dissolution ip 1806, Lord Osborne retired from Parliament.), 'til in the month of March, 1810, he xae - reNrued' x thecounty of Cam bridge in the room of tbit:Ai , ;li o n. Philip Yorke, WO bad accepted,the eitt:Teliti- of- the-Excise z quer, and who rather abruptly retired from the con test with his Lordship. In 1826, his Lordship ssas 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,.l,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. On 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 to Lord Campbell, whose son is already its representative in the House of Commons. SIR JOHN ROSS AND SLEDGING BY DOGS. TO THE 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 few 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, imply 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. The 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 Karns 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 t o ascertain that "sledging by dogs" 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 'mild 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 d og d raw i ng any ,Te hicle whatsoever. In short, thi s " s l e d g i ng by dogs is all humbug, and for a very good reason. Your Suedes having excellent horses aro 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 their, dogs, of which they h ave a fi ne ' breed, in the nately continue to " sledge by eer more honourable occupation of l oo ki ng a ft er th e i r reind " employing herds and in protecting them from the wolves. If Sir John Henry Pelly and his friends are of w what is called on the turf a sp ecu l at i ve turn , an d ish to back Sir John Ross's assert i on, an d a t th e 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 6,000/. 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 John 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. lam 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. Bat 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 Sir John Ross's fifth advantage, who can say whether all the others may not be equally illusory ? Of one qualification of the gallant veteran I do not doubt—l mean his courage—tor the man'who can gravely state that from six years' resi lence in Sweden he left that country well acquainted with 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 whole 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. EXIIIIIITION OF INTORILSOFIND USTRY 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 promoing 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 Cummision. 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. He anti cipated 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 intercourse and of contri buting largely to the happiness and comfort of civi lized 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 co-operate with the Royal Commission Gloucester city is celebrated for its pin manufactures, and the county for its cloth manulanu: es and dairy and other agricultural produce. THE 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 Baillie, from London and Plymouth (29th April and 9th iy), 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 Government have secretly provided him with the necessary funds for removing himself and his family to this colony. Another passenger, named John Morley, from Ashford, Kent, jumped overboard on the 22d of May. It was said that be bad parted from his friends in anger, and having been subject to bitter compunctious, his remorse became insupportable.--ildcluide Observer of Sept. 8.

I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Oatar•set, Nervous lleadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped.

[PRICE SD. METROPOLITAN SANITARY ASSOCIA TIoN.—DEPUTATION TO THE PREMIER. A deputation from the Metropolitan &mit try Associa tion waited upon Lord John Russell, on Saturday, at his offic;al r. sidence in Downing-street, for the purpose rf presenting to her Majesty's Government the resolutions agreed to at the late meeting held in the Fret masons' Hall, aid of explaining the necessity of father measures t improve the condition of the meropolis. The Bishop r f London headed the deputation, which was ve-y numerous, consisting of—Lord Moreton, Dr. Aldis, Rev. J. W. Buckley, M.A., St. Mary, Padding ton; Rev. R. Burgess, B 1)., rector of Chelsea; Mr. Charles Salisbury Iht!er, Mr. Carlton Baynes, C.E , Sir William Clay, Rev. J. Cumming, D.D., Mr. H. C. Edwards, Mr. Robert Fox, Mr. R Grantham, F.G.S., Mr. IV.

Lusigean, 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 Noble Lord, asked whether, in consequence of the gracious expressions in her Ma jeity'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 be introduced by some Member of either House of Parliament, such a measure would be favourably considered by her Majesty's Go 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 Right 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 10,000 houses in the metropolis unsupplied with water, containing 640,000 persona. Of these 80;000 houses, 40,000 had no right to a supply. This was a question which did not concern the poorer classes only. It affected the middle and higher order, for in those neigh bourhoods where the supplies were scanty disease com 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 Hamburgh 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 deficient supply, for 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 of things; but they begged most earnestly to call the attention of the Government to the necessity of a constant supply of water in every apartment of the habitations of the poor, upon the high-pressure principle, at the lowest possible cost. The Rev. H. Mackenzie, the Rev. R. Burgess, the Rev. Dr. Cumming, Mr. T. M. Nelson, and Mr. H. Ed wards, having severally supported the Right Rev. Frelate, in observations of considerable length, Lord J. RUSSELL said, I have listened with great at tention t 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 th• particular views of tte Crivernment, 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 memb ers o f t h e d eputat i on who have just spoken. It has constantly esigaged 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 has felt the difficulties of the subject very greed . ), and certainly his opinion is that he does not think there eau be any general measure which can comprehend . 11 the subjvcts which comprise sanitary regulation; but he thinks it is more feasible to attempt by separate mea sures to meet the various evils that hate occurie (Hear, hear.) With regard to a general measure, I should &so say we mast consider that in this country there is very naturally and properly gre at jealousy of asy interference either with 1. cal rights or individual will aid freedom from control; and that when you bring in a Bill of 350 clauses, you find very gre ,t difficulty in contending for each of those clauses again- t 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 best 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 adde 1, in answer to an obsermion 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 IRISH FISHERIES BILL. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Irish Fisheries Bill is a document fraught with most thrilling interest to those who look forward for improvements on the fisheries, not only as re spects Ireland, but of England and Scotland as well. I have just risen up from wading 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 for 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, nets, &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 some of the chief duties of the Irish Board of Fisheries. All o ffi cers connected with th o b oar d t o _ _ 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, privil eges , an d aut h or i ty 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 will 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, &e. 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 SYSTE7.--A deputation from a society of tailors, comprising 5,000 p ersona , wa ited on Saturday up on Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., and Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., at the Marylobon e C our t, f o r the purpose of induci ng the Hon. Members to present and support a petition to the House of Commons,_ praying the interf e r e n ce o f t h e Leg i slature to put down the system known as the sweating system. The deputation pointed out the hardships to which the jourreymen tailors were subjected by the method now so commonly adopted of giving out work to certain 1e: sons, wbo, again, employed a number (f others under them, at a much smaller sum, to do tha work. The lecallies in which this system was adopted were of the most filthy and immoral kind. Great numbers of persons of both sexes were huddled together, who were obliged to work, night and day, to get a living. The respeJtable master would, perhaps. pay from 16s. to 203. fur a cost, while those who really did the work only received 6s. f it. Mr —, for instance, employed Mr. C—, a middle man, who got 7s. 61. a dress; Mr. C— employed others, who get only Is. a dress, and they again em ployed others, who were paid still less. By this arrange ment it was said that Mr. C— male 3,0001. per annum, and kept his carriage. The same principle was adopted by and other dealers. The Honourable Members promised their hearty support to the deputation, who withdrew, much pleased with their reception. —Sunday Paper.

EXPLOSION or FIRE..DABLP.— On Saturday more ing 'ast, about ,even o'clock, an explosion of fire-eamp took place at the Gib Field Colliery, Chowtent,-thsrprcr perty of G. Fletcher, Etg , e f Labureum-house. The dam g-roua ga has for some time past been observed in the more secluded parrs of the mine, and the utmost caution I.a, been enjoined upon the workmen. One of the men had been instructed to exa nine the differ. nt sir( rking‘ before the others commenced, and on Saturday morning last ho was engsg,d in this duly, when finding some, f the ii.flamm , ble gas lodged_in one or two of the bays cf the pit, he pulled off his coat and began to beat it out into the wr-draught,. Four other men had also entered the mine; and one f them, unaware of the danger, lighted a candle and stfix-d it to the side of the wall inc of the buys. Tr e disturbed gas driven along the workings by Seddon came in contact with the lighted candle, and a terrific explosion took p's killing one man on the spot, and injuring the other f eir in the most shocking manner. They were got out of the mine as speedily as possible, and Mr. Brideosk, surgeon, i f Leigh, ard Mr. erosion. of Chowhyrif, were speedily in attendance upon the sufferer'. Notwithstanding every attenti , n, they died the following day (Sat)day).—Man ehes'er Examiner. Tms: Hoe DUTT.—The &next Express says : "As the period fixed for the payment of the second in stalment of 11148 duty is rapidly approaching, the ques tion of what is to be done in future relative to the duty in general naturally fixes the trtention of the grower to the consideration of the best method to obtain relief from the obnoxious impost. On this point, as ur f nen ,at ly on msny others in which agricultural interests are CO roerned, then is a great diffe-ence t f opinion, red it is much to be regretted that some medium mea sure cannot be suggeated that would reconcile the con fleeting interests t f East and Mid Kr.nt and Sussex. We had h reed that the important met tlng held at Staple. burst last year would in a gre ,t degree have accom plished this desideratum; but it eppears that there is -t 11 a want of uneninety, as to the re'ief required, be teeera 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: ' That your petitioners have for many - years suffered severely from the excessive duty on hops, and earnestly entre at your Honourable House to repeal thi t part t f the duty called the war duty, and the five per ce rt. ad ditional, thereby reducing the duty to id. per pound.'" ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND WONDERFUL ESCAPE. —On Thursday morning, the 7th inst., she s wiftekf Mr. B.C. Planner, of the Horse Shoe Inn, Newmarkers.at tempted self-e.eitruction by jumping down a well, white, labouring under mr ntal derangement. The unfortunate woman, who is in an advanced state c-f pregnancy, left her fel about fair o'clock (her husband being uncon scious c-f her absence), went to the well, and jumped down it. Her escape was certainly miraculous, having sustained no other perceptible injury than a .light ate a sion on her face. The well is near sixty feet deep, wish, fortunately, at the time in question, not more than fire feet of water in it. Alter having fallen to the bottom she managed t) get above the water by placing her back against one side of the well, and her feet on the other, and remained in this posture till she was drawn up, Mr. Balls, carrier, who resides near the well, heard her crying out, and supposing some one had either fallen in a fit, or a state of intoxication, partly dressed hitisteir, and went out, when he was surprised to find that the noise proceeded from the bottom of the well, lie asked who was there, and was answered by Mrs. Planner, from the bottom of the well. He immediately roused her husband and those of the surrounding cottages, who, with great promptitude and alacrity, procured ropes, ike-, for the rescue, when Mr. S. Store kindly descended the well, and extricated the poor woman from her perilous situation. Fears were at one time entertained that, as Mrs. P. is enceinte, and had 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 rapidly progr essing gat to a ! she s ta te was of convalescence.

G RAe s . e d e e, n,ohoßTotFlß.V.—The half-a-mile below Lobster Gra T ve, a e v n e d r_n, s o r n uy t ll e bank and favourite retreat t f those who love green lanes and s pure air, tempered with a sea breeze —was on Saturday totally destroyed by fire. It had " weed the pelti ng o f the pitiless storm" for nearly a century, and was vene rable in its antiquity. 'lle fire was first perceived is suing from the western angle cf the building, sal in a short time spread with a rapidity which wrapped the pile at all points in a sheet of thine 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 extended to, and communicated with some cattle sheds, Mhich were rapidly reduced to ruins. An extensive coaleshed, also comps std of wood, caught fire, but was saved from destruction by the timely arrival of the town and Cust urn-house engines. The military from the fort were also quickly on the spot. The tavern, which was the p r op er ty t f Mr: Plane, brewer cf the town, was recently taken possession of by Mr. Penridcn, of London, and, with its farniture, was insured. A NEW BRIDGE FOR WESTMINSTIR.-It stated that it has hi en determined to take down the present bridge at Westminster, and that a new one; ; to be erected some four hundred yards further from the Houses of Parliament, in order to beigtttn the 'fillet of those elaborate specimens of British architecture. The new structure is to be low and straight, sup ported by gothic arches.

'BATHS AND WASIMOUSES ?OR THE POOR. A large meeting for the purpose of considering the propriety of establishing baths and washhouses in this city was held on Friday in the Council Chamber, when the Vice-Chancellor and Mayor presided, and were supported by several heads of colleges and halls, many of the parochial clergy, and a number of the principal inhabitants. Resolutions in favour of the establishment of baths and washhouses were adopted, and a committee was appointed to report at a future meeting on the best mode of carrying them out. It was stated that about 3,000/. would be required, and we hear that one-third of that amount is already promised. Of the above sum Mr. Duncan, of the Ashmolean Museum, has contributed the munificent sum of 5001, an anonymous person 1001., and Mr. Langston and Mr. Wood, Members for the city, 501. each.

DRAWING SCHOOLS Oft ARTIZANS, CAMDEN-TOWN. —An evening drawing school for ai t'zans has been pro posed to be opened in Camden-town, the Government School of Desiga not being available to this class, from its locality and fixed course of study. It is considered by the promoters cf the present scheme that England greatly requires, at the present moment, tastofal 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 measure 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 do more in our present number than mention the intention, and express our good wishes iw favour of it.—Builder. MATCH AGAINST TIME.—In consequence of some influential speculators on horse-racing doubting that any man under twenty years of age could be found to accomplish the feat of walking twenty miles in three hours, a feat that had only been performed in that time by the celebrated Charles Weathall, when he was backed by the Marquis of Waterford—one of the members of Tattersall's offered to bet 1001. that William Spooner, of Turnham-green, would achieve the task, which being accepted, the match came off on Saturday, over a measure 1 mile of ground, about Bedfont, about three miles beyond Hounslow, and bets, amounting t r about 2,000 L depended on the resul►. About two o'cicck Spooner, who is a well-made young man, standing about five feet 6i inches, and weighing 9st., started. He walked in a perfectly fair manner and in good style, and completed the first seven miles in one minute under the hour ! and 14 miles in two hours and three minut when he fell off in pace, and despite his most gallant ex ertions, he fAile l to accomplish his herculean task in the stipulated time—having, when his liberal backer in •sisted upon resigning, half a mile to go, and only 1 minute to do it in. A liberal subscription was imme diately entered into for him, which is likely to bo much much increased at the next meeting at Mr. Beeton'e, Milk-street, Cheapside, the betting rendezvous. GREAT EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF ALL NA TIONS.—We understaud that considerable preparations are making for a meeting to be held on Thursday next at Willis's Rooms, at eleven o'clock, in order to promote the success of his great national undertaking, and a very strong muster of the aristocracy may be looked fur. It is expected that among others Lord Carlisle, Lord Can ning, the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Douro, and the Ho nourable F. Byng, will propose and second resolutions, and that the Chevalier Bunsen, the American, French, Russian, Belgian, and other foreign Minietere, will attend
