'f' CRI3IINAL COURT.—(TIIIS DAY.) This, the twelfth and concluding session of the present Mayor alty, was commenced this morning. _ The Court w as opened i n the usual manner b y the R i g h t H on. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Aldermen Wilson, Hunter, Moon, &c. The calendar, considering the lengthened period which has elapsed since the last sittings, is not unusually hesvy. The pri soners number 227. T here i s one charge of mur d er an d two o f forgery, but the others arc comparatively light. The grand jury having been sworn, were addreszed by the Learned RECORDER. He said, Gentlemen of Jury, the calendar which lies before me contains a list of prisoners amounting to 227, and there is every reason to believe that the number will be aug. ntented by additional commitments during the sitting of the Court. Your labours wi'l, therefore, in all probability be extended for days,seve ral but I am sure you w ill c h eer f u ll y di sc h a r g e the duties Imposed upon you, duties which are for the protection of the public at large. I notice with regret that, in addition to the ordinary °lass of offences, the number of persons engaged as domestics, to !horn the offence of larceny is imputed, is very considerable, not less than 54 in this situation of life being so charged. There are several cases of cutting and wounding with int ent to do gr i evcus b o dil y h arm. Th ere is also a charge of attempting to drown by throwing the person into deep vat 'r a charge of att e mpti ng t o a d m inister poison ; two charges , assault amounting to rape, or carnal knowledge of el ildreu of tender age; five cases of robbery ; and a charge of shooting at ano ther Person with a mi sc hi evous i n tent. There is, in addition, a Ch arge for the heinous crime of murder—the murder of an infant, and the party to whom the crime - .8 imputed is the stepfather of the Child,being the husband of the mother. There are not less t han eighteen cases of misdemeanour of different kinds and de. reel, some o f t h em of the nature of assau l ts f or min:Aural and filth y, purpose., some for obtaining goods and property under fals.l Pretences, and other offences of a like nature. There is a charge 1 ° of coini ng , t h e i nstruments for t h at purpose an d a quan tity of new counterfeit coin having been found in the pos of the person committed. Among the charges of tni sderneanour, there is one case of obtaining money under hfa pretences under rather peculiar circumstances. It is tistndcase of a m an w h o goes on b oar d o f f ore i gn ve s s els, and prat. t ' , Pon the ignorance of the poor men on board, purchases their ".„""ws, and pr e t en d s to pay t h em w i t h go ld co i n o f this country. The pretented coin is afterwards discovered to be a sort of gilt I' ) M ei. which is sold in the streets for a penny. It will be your ..ItY to ascertain if this miserable deception was practised for the r 4„ 'Pose of defrauding these poor foreigners, who were ignorant of ' . e coins current in the country. In the case of murder, to which _ t have referred, I perceive by the depositions taken before the cnrone t that the testimony of the wife was received against her h usband •Among the many changes daily taking place in our criminal and civil l aw , I am not a ware of any one that has rendered * he wife a competent witness ; at the same time however, L. to the p resence o f a t hi r d p ar ty, the w if e use d ex pression to which the husband made answer, that would be k n ee to be given by that third party. I do not imagine that the 7 who conduct the prosecution will tender the wife's evidence; witnesses rather being those who do not labour under any legal 1: deg 4(4°,f h Petency. In the case of shooting with intent to do grievous li arm, the great point will be to see if there is sufficient evi itee that the person aiming the gun did so with a knowledge that ei c 7 4 loaded, or in a state likely to explode, and also ohether he th sl s ,irn with intent to do the other bodily injury. I understand to th egun had keen previously uncocked, and it will be for you du ty a Y whether, under these circumstances, it will be your t° Put the case In the course of further inquiry. In the th e :1: a ttempting to administer poison, the charge will rest upon 14 'Wlence of persons who will prove the sending of the poison toi aa L l ,tily of tea and sugar to the individual who was expected ki d "else of it. You will of course carefully examine the evidence Doi,, u ,, e , s eci before you and ascertain whether the fact of sending Th e . '" is brought home to the party charged with the offence. a wo re are e , several instances of cutting and stabbing, in one instance b eing struck under the immediate influence of passion. You yog bo ,P l eased to examine into this when the charge comes before di tto , h' Learned Recorder then adverted to misdemeanours of a few : u nit character, which are unfit for publication, and after a 7.7 s ene tal remarks, dismissed the grand jury to their duties.

COURT OF SEWERS, WESTMINSTER —A Special Court of Sewers for the city of Westminster was held at the Courthouse, Greek-street, Soho, yesterday, for the purpose of deciding upon the particular plans henceforth to be used in the constriction of sewers in the districts within the control of this board. Mr. Willoughby took the chair, and having called the attention of the Court to the grave importance of the suuject which they had met to discus , , the various plans, ten in number, were laid on the table. Mr. Leslie moved a reso'ution—" That the egg form of a sewer with the narrow end downwards, be the form hereafter to be used in all the sewers to be constructed in the district of this court." It was impossible to show any form of sewer that would he preferable in all situations. He had tried the pro posed form of drain on his own property, and had succeeded completely. Under ordinary circumstances, he believed that the egg form was the most efficient, most durable, and most economical. He (Mr. Leslie) had submitted a lithograph of the egg shape of sewer to various eminent builders, who all approved of that form, as had also Major-General Pasley and Captain Dennison, Royal Engineers. One of the great ob jections to the egg shape was the large quantity of mortar necessarily inserted in the joints, but that could be obviated by using radiated bricks at an extra expense of only 4d. per foot. The Hon. F. Byng seconded the motion, and in so doing reprobated the practice of appointing a perpetual ckair man, as giving an improper influence to that person. Mr. Allascin differed from the form proposed by the motion, mid thought it would not be found to be applicable to all situa tions. Various other gentlemen addressed the Court pro and con., Mr. Mayhew, district survoyor, being of opinion that the form proposed was the very best that could be chosen. Mr. Cumberley quoted an opinion of one of the officers of the Court that the present sewers were little better than cess pools. The motion having been put, the numbers were de clared to be—For the motion, 16 ; against it, 5. Mr. Leslie next moved the adoption t f the particular plans of Mr. John Phillips, on the ground of their great economy and facility, which was carried unanimously, and the meeting broke up at half-past four o'cicck. SALES OF LANDED PROPERTY.—Within the last few days two estates in this neighbourhood, which only came into the market a short time ago, have been sold. Capenoch, the property of Sir Charles Kirkpatrick, Bart., of Closeburn, has been purchased by Mr. Gricrson, of Dalgonar, for 20,6001., about 32 years' purchase. Mr. Maxwell, the younger, of Cardoness, has bought Dalskairth, where he at present re sides, from Mr. Kennedy, of New York, for 13,0001.—D:un fries Courier. CUSTOMS.—Mr. R. Z. Troughton, the principal inspector of the gauging department at the port of London, has, we understand, been dispatched to Scotland for the pur pose of making a special inspection and examination of the m'xle in which the gauging department is conducted by the officers of the Customs revenue in that portion of the king dom, which, it is expected, in many instan c e s , i s b u t im perfectlyunderstood by those parties, especially in the more remote parts and places along the coast. DUNSTER CASTLE.—The great civil war, certainly one of the most picturesque, as it is one of the most stirring periods of English history, afford s mater i a l s to t h e novelist of asingularly attractive char ac t er. Thi s has, doubtless, in duced theauthor of the new historical romance, entitled "Dunster Castle," a writer who has already obtained con siderable reputation in tlikkleasant field of fiction, to select an epoch so fruitful in Mantic incidents. Dunster Castle was the scene of one of the most striking episodes in that ex traordinary drania, which had the whole realm of England for its stage, and the best men of England fur its actors. It is, therefore, impossible to exaggerate the interest which the reader must feel in such a subject, handled in the skilful manner which, according to report, will render this romance of the Civil Wars one of the most entertaining books of the season. MoßwiNsTow.—GueNo.—Mr. Baker, yeoman, .ionvinstow, has at present a field of cabbages, part of which he manured with farm-yard dung, and the other with guano, which was procured from a rock near Marsland Mouth, on which sea-gulls have for ages built their nests. A quantity of guano has accumulated there, which enabled Mr. B. to try the following experiment on his cabbage plants when set. He devoted to every pant a pound of guano, which was spread around the root of the plant mixed with earth. In the adjoining part of his field he placed farm-yard dung at the ratio of fifty loads per acre; the cabbages manured with the latter weighed from 151bs. to 201b5., while those manured with the guano weighed from 281bs. to 301bs. He has thus saved 20 per cent. in carriage of manure, and realised 20 more in the produce from guano.— West Briton. COLLISION A T SEA.—On Tuesday evening last the Telemachus, coal schooner, laden, bound to Littlehampton, was run into off Newhaven by the John (also coal laden), bound to Guernsey, and cut down almost to the water's edge; but providentially, by the assistance of tarpauling and fine weather, she was kept afloat until she arrived in safety at Littlehampton.—Briglyon Heald We are informed that various parties have been applied to officially for statements relative to the quantity remaining of last year's grain, and the probable returns of the present harvest in their respective districts. These appli cations most probably are with a view to some ulterior objects, bearing upon the measures to be opted for miti gating the anticipated scarcity of prOvisious.—Aberdeen Herald. DiSTuRHANCE ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ALBION.— A few days since the crew of the Albion were guilty of conduct which speaks ill lot the character of the British seamen of these latter dais. It appears, that on the arrival of the Albion with the rest of the experimental ships at this port, on Friday seen night, part of the men had shove-leave given to them, and on Wed nesday another party applied for the indulgence. By that time, however, sailing orders had reached the ship, and, in accordance with the custom of the service, no leave could be granted. The commander, therefore, refused to give leave, and it annoyed the men very much ; their ire was aggravated by intoxication, and from grumbling and swearing they soon proceeded to acts of mu tiny. Some of the worst of them commenced breaking their mess things, and throwing the fragments about. Shots were rolled along the lower deck, the linchpins of the guns drawn and flung about, and other expedients were resorted to, to show their anger, and to create a disturbance. These proceedings having been reported to Commander Chambers, he immediately mus. tered the men, bnt a great many did not come on deckb and 40 of them were put in irons. The men were suitably ad. dressed on the impropriety of their conduct by Commander Cham bers, but when they were piped down again the disturbance was renewed with greater violence. The men were then mustered at divisions, but it was withont avail, for no sooner were they dis missed than they recommenced their violence. The commander then proceeded to the lower deck, and while traversing it a linch. pin was thrown and struck the lantern carried by the quarter. master, the lights being out at the time, and insolent expressions were uttered under cover of the darkness. Hammocks were piped down, and no sooner were they down than piped up again, and this was repeated three times until the fellows .were pretty well drilled into better behaviour. On the following morning it was discovered that a sun tackle and the breeching of two guns had been cut. Captain Lockyer. who had been ashore during the affair, assembled the crew and admonished them, and liberated all those in irons except seven, who, it is supposed, will get a sound flogging when the ship gets into blue water. — . Western Conscr vativc. SOIREE AT THE HUDDERSFIELD MECHANICS' INS FITUTE.—The annual sesWe of this Institution took place in the Philosop! ical Hall, Iluddersfleid, on Wednesday evening last. The chair was occupied by the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, M.P., who was surrounded on the platfortn by several of the most influential gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, including W. R. C. Stanslield, Esq., M.P. for the borough. From the report which was laid before the ineetii.g, it appears that the affairs of the Insti tution are in a very flourishing condition. OPENING or THE PORTS.—TIIE FIRST MOVEMENT IN GLASGOW.—On Wednesday the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council of Glasgow, unanimously resolved to memorialise her Majesty's Government to open the ports for the admission of grain duty free; and a memorial to that effect has already, we beieve, been transmitted to Sir Robert Pcel.—Scotch Reformer's The Hudson testimonial subscription exceeds the ;um of 17,50 g TAWIMCS CONFESSION.—From the lengthened dis cussion which took place amongst the magistrates assembled at the Bucks Midsummer seisions at Aylesbury, in June last, it was fully expected that the Bev. Mr. Cox, the chaplain to the county prison, would have laid before the magistrates at the Michaehnas sessions, which have just been held, the confession made l'y John Tawell on the night betbre his execution, a resolution having been carried, upon the nuotict of Dr. Lee, that the confession of the culprit be delivered up to the magistrates by the chaplain at the ensuing sessions. At the last sessions, held a few days since, upeat Dr. Lee inquiring if the Rev. Mr. Cox had acceded to the wishes of the magistrates by laying before then' Taw, li's written confession, and being told that it was still refused, a resolution to the following effect was unanimously adopted:—" That the confession of John Tawell be laid upon the table at the next Qttnier scssi4ns for the county, and that if this; be not acceded to, the elhiplain be called upon to deliver it up forth with."

SIR, —The Houghton Meeting at Newmarket, the last of any con , equence in the year, commences this clay with a full bill of fare, somewhat above the average, and I confidently expect to see some first-rate sport; the attendance will be large should the weather continue fine, and the number of horses there and en route, amoueting in all to about six score, will make the meet ing as brilliant as any of its predecessors. The Cambridgeshire Statics this year have nearly four score acceptances, and, as a matter of course, will bring a large field to the post—between twenty-five and thirty— which will be the following, viz :—Jet, Queen Mab, Bishop of Romford's Cob, Garry Oxen, Trueboy, St. Bernard, Due an Durras, Needful, Yardley, Semiseria, Young Lochinvar, The Baron, Nottingham, Ironmaster, Rowena, Hope, Wolf-dog, Vaudeville, Ould Ireland, Wee Pet, Longitude, Physalis, lEgis, The Dart, Croton Oil, Hartshorn, Mongrel, Jenny Wren, and perhaps Alarm. Now I consider nothing but Jet, Yardley, Semiseria, Nottingham, Ould Ireland, Wee Pet, Croton Oil, Mongrel, and Jenny Wren, have the shadow of a chance. This last batch, beyond a doubt, contains the winner's name—the favour ites I fancy might as well stop in their stables for all the good they will do their respec tive masters. Jet or Wee l'ot, whichever may be Lord Exeter's intended starter, will cut a very good figure, doubtless getting placed. Semiseria, should she run kindly, ought to be very handy, and at the present ex treme outside odds, well worth backing; Nottingham, with only 7st. 41b., will beat more than beat him; Jenny Wren, with sst. 61b., ought, and perhaps will win, her chance i 3 one of the very best, and must not be despised. Ould Ireland, if he goes, will show off to better advan tage than he did at his last appearance in public. Should Lord G. Bentinck make Croton Oil his horse, with 6st. 61b., if it has any running in it, it ought and will be either first or second. Mongrel, a very fine well-made animal, with 6st. 21bs. on his back, just suited to the course, will be found a difficult customer to stall off, and, from his previous running and present appearance, will be at the least placed. To sum up, I shall expect to see the winner spring from the following four:—Wee Pet, Mongrel, Semiseria, and Croton Oil. The 300 Soya. Stakes will go to Lord Glasgow. The match between Captain Phebus and the Miss Whip colt, to the former. The match between Oakley and Miss Elis, to the litter. The match between Refraction and Prologue, to the former. On Tuesday the Criterion Stakes of 30 soya. each, 20 ft., will bring out about twelve, say the following:—Princess Alice, Arkwright, Science, Mecca colt, Sting, Retriever colt, Polka, Pet colt, Joy, Cuckoo, Malt, and Stockport filly ; Sting having to carry 71bs. extra, and Princess Arkwright, Polka, Joy, Cuckoo, and Malt each 2lbs. extra. I shall not attempt to analyse the field, that having been done before, but jump at once to the conclu sion, placing the redoubtable Sting first, Joy second, Arkwright third, Princess Alice fourth, and Cuckoo fifth. The match between Motills and Black Cat will be won by the former; and the match between Anna Bullen and Blanchie, by the latter. On Wednesday Prologue, Bst. 71bs., will beat The A l tered One, Bst bibs. 0n Thursday Radulphus, Borghese, Arkwright, Ignls-fatuus, Prospect, and Oxberry, will show for the Glasgow Stakes, which will 'twit assuredly be won by Ark w righ t. The snatch between Garry Owen and Secundus will be won by the former. On Fridey the colt by Dulcimer receives forfeit from LeChourineur; and the match between the Retriever colt and Collin- b wood will be won by the latter. Oa Saturday. by way of a finish, Oakley will receive forfeit from Nix-my-Dolly. I shalt, in the course of a week or two, give my readers a review of the doings of the two year-olds this year that are in the Derby or Oaks of 1846, and likewise the condition and capabilities of many dark animals. The three principal two year-olds that I have recommended at various times to the attention of my readers, this year have proved themselves well worthy of support, for where will you find better animals than Princess Alice, Ark Wright, and Sting? The last I prophesied would win the New Stakes, Lavant, Molecombe, Clearwell, and Criterion Stakes ; he won three out of the five easily, run second in one through bad riding, and the other Stake is at present undeeided.—l am, Sir, yours, THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

LIVERPOOL SRARE MARKET. (From the Circular of Wills and Co., Stuck and Sha.trebrokers, Liverpool.). An agreement has just been between the Direc tors of the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction Companies, whereby every NM paid up capital of the Grand Junction and Liverpoul andMancbester Cumpauies is to be considered as 1201. paid up capit-il in the amalgamated Grand Junction and London and Birmingham Companies. The Grand Junction Company has also the privilege of creating new quarter shares, which are to par ticipate in the above arrangement. The effect of this an nouncement on our Stock Exchange was to raise the shares in the Grand Junction Company from 2401. to 260/., and in the Liverpool and Manchester Company from 212/. to 220/, and to depress, rather than increase, the value of the shares in the London and Birmingham Company. It remains to be seen whether the London and Birmingham Proprietors will sanction an arrangement which has manifestly had the effect of depreciating the market value of their property. Such a union of interests we have always strenuously advo cated, and trust that it will be satisfactorily carried out, in a fair and honourable way. Under all circumstances it will prove a serious blow to most of the new schemes, projected for the purpose of supplying direct communication between London and Liverpool. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton shares, which were previously greatly reduced in value OA ing partly to the call of 10/. per share, have been still further affected by this combination of these powerful companies, and those shares which three meats since were quoted at 20/. are barely saleable to-day at 9/. The immense amount of business which has been doing for the last few mouths in the shares of embryo railway companies, has at length, as might have been expected, in volved in considerable difficulties the great body of specu lators. The reaction came at last more suddenly, and more violently, than was anticipated even by the most cautious, and indeed there does not appear to be any really adequate cause for the present extraordinary panic. The corn harvest has been generally secured in fair con dition,—the injury said to be sustained by the potato crop is, we have every reason to believe, greatly exaggerated,---the commerce of the country is in a most flourishing condition— and we are at peace with all the world: with so many ele ments of prosperity abounding, the improvement of the solid resources of the nation, notwithstanding these temporary checks to its progress. must go on with accelerated impulse. There is, therefore, no just cause of permanent alarm. The evils which have arisen from inordinate speculation in rail way shares will speedily effect their own remedy, and the business of the Stock-Exchange be placed henceforth on a more secure basis than ever. The frightful losses which have been incurred during the last fortnight, will prove a useful lesson to all ; and the check which has been given to mere bubble projects, will eventually benefit not only the old companies, but those also which have already obtained their Acts, together with such legitimate schemes of railway extension, as are really called for by the necessities of the public. We are persuaded that the panic has nearly exhausted itself, and that it will pass away entirely, without inflicting any irremediable injury on the community at large. As to the benefits to be conferred upon the country by the gradual formation of railways, there can be but one opinion; and we repeat what we have so frequently asserted, that there will be no lack of means for the construction of such lines as shall be sanctioned by the Legislature. Our own decided conviction is that the present is the time to buy, and not to sell—and we have always advised our friends to buy during a panic, and—unless purchases are nude purely for investment—when prices are rapidly ad vancing, to realise, without waiting for the highest point. THE RAILWAY SHARE MARKET• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,--I think that during the present temporary panic in the Railway share Market, it would be wise for Directors in all pro jected lines, where the shares are not yet issued, to withhold their allotments for a time, certainly till this depression is over. By issuing Ames in Hew lines now it will not only cause still greater and more alarming depression in already existing railroads, but throw discredit and disrepute on really good schemes that may advantageously be brought out at a later period; indeed parties who have applied for sheres in the present state of affairs, and respect able and responstie parties too, will not be found to pay the deposits. Let timid speculators who hold scrip hold a little longer, and not force the markets, and all will yet be well. At the same, i do not hold out hopes that we shall sec so high premiums again as we have done hitherto, but a more healthy state will exist In the market, and bubble lines will, as they should, be at a fair discount. I inclose my card, and should you consider my remarks worthy of your notice, you will confer a great obligation on me by in• serting the same in your invaluable paper, of which I am, Sir, ,yours, very respectfully, Oct. 25, 1845. A CONSTANT READER. TFIE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, OCTOBER 26.—The Oriental Company's steam-packet the Pacha, Captain Burney, arrived In docks yesterday at 4 o'clock P.M., and landed the Gibraltar, Peninsular, and other mails, but which were nit for warded to London until the 2 A.M. train this morning, while had the mails been sent up by a special train they would have been enabled to have left London for the north, &c., by the last night mails from London. The Pacha left Gibraltar the 17th instant; Cadiz, 18th; Lisbon, 20th; Operto, 21st; Vigo, 22d; Corunna, 22d. She has 26 passengers, a full cargo of fruit, and five oxen. The Royal Tar, Captain Evans, will leave this port to-morrow for Oibralutr, &c., with the Peninsular and other mails. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning an acci dent occurred on the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, which has unfortunately been attended with the loss of life. It appears that between twelve and one o'clock in the morning a train of ballast waggons, propelled by a locomotive engine, was employed in re moving loose earth from one part of the line to the other, and when the engineer had proceeded nearly to Sydenham he felt a cud. den shock as if the engine had run over something. As soon as he had deposited his loads of ballast he returned to the spot to ascerta'n the cause, and then discovered the body of a man lying across the rails in such a position, that if he had not observed him in time and reversed the engine the wheels must inevi tably have gone over his head. The poor fellow was in a shocking mutilated state, and covered with blood, which flowed profusely from his back and right leg. He was alive, but quite insensible. With the assistance of the stoker the engineer placed him upon the engine, and conveyed him without loss of time to the terminus at London-bridge, and from thence to Guy's Hospital. Mr. Hood, the house surgeon, was promptly in attend. ance, and, upon examination, it was found that his right leg and foot were completely smashed, and that his back had been severely lacerated by the buffer of the engine, and he died in about an hour after his admission to the hospital. His name is at present unknown. He was dressed in the garb of a labourer, and apparently about 38 years of age. His face was rather disfigured by his nose having been previously broken, and he wore a green shade over his left eye. It is not known how he came upon the railway, but it is supposed he had either strayed, or had trespassed to make a short cut to Sydenham, and that hearing the approach of an engine he had got on to the atmospheric line of rail, thinking that no train ran thereon at night, and that he would be safe. His precaution, however, was the means of his death. This was the second time only that the ballastarain had run on that line at night. THE MARYLEBONE VESTRY AND THE REGENT'S CANAL—At a meeting of the Marylebone vestry on Friday, a letter was read which had been received from the secretary to the new railway company formed for the purpose of converting the Regent's Canal into a railway, requesting from the vestry permis. lion to inspect the books of the parish, in order that the railway company might obtain such information as would be necessary to enable them to comply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament. Several members of the vestry spoke in very indig nant terms against the request contained in this letter. Every member of the vestry could have free access to the books if it were required, but they did not understand why any such information should be given to mere strangers. A motion was then made that the request should be refused, which was carried unani rater, D I RECT LONDON AND EXETER.

VISIT CIF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO BRIGH TON AND NEWHATEN.-The Duke of Wellington arrived in Brighton on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, by the railway train which leaves London at two. His Grace Immediately proceeded c to the Bristol Hotel, where he dined and slept, and the following Morning left at nine o'clock for Newhaven. His Grace rode in a carrigge, but was followed by saddle-horses, for the purpo.f of in. 'petting portions of the coest between this town and Newh:ven, which was the purpose of his visit. After having taken cop:I -lance of Newhaven, and its capabilities of being made to afford protection for armed steamers, the Duke returned at half-past twelve, and remained there until half.past two. He then went out on horseback, attended by a domestic ; rode down the Marine. parade, along the Steyne and Grand Parade to the north, and it was generally expected that his grace would proceed to the Cavalry Barracks. However he did not, but returned to his hotel, and remained there last night. Preparations were made at the Battery in expsc. tation that his grace would inpect It yesterday; but it is under stood that his visit is reserved for this morning. His grace will leave Brighton this afternoon by the railway train which leaves at a quarter before two, and will proceed to Dover. These visits of his grace to the southern ccast are, to say the least of them, very significant, and public attention is now fully aroused to the nature of our position in case a war should break out, which —depending, As matters in France do, upon the frail tenure of an old man's life — nearer than any of us expect.—Brightom Herald of Saturday ON THE BODY OF THE J.ATE Mxt. 80-. ?Ma AT OUL2TO,t, NEAR THE WOODLESFORO STATION.-The death of Mr. Boteler, which occurred on Thursday morning at bra root eight o'clock, thr.;:v a gloom over the ppuleus neigh bOttrhoods of Doncaster, u e ., ; ;; . . and other towns which the Flrcle of friends.

On Saturday the arrangement for the union and amalga mation of the two companies formed for making a direct railroad between London and Manchester was signed by John Dillon, Esq., the Chairman of the Direct London and Manchester Railway, and Colonel Leicester Stanhope, the Chairman of the Direct Independent London and Man chester Railway. The arrangement recites that the two companies shall be united into one when the Bill shall have passed. That the Direct London and Manchester Railway shall alone apply to Parliament for the Act. That the two companies shall have an equal number of Directors. That the Chairman of the Direct Company, John Dillon, Esq., shall be the chairman of the 24 directors; and that Andrew Caldecott, Esq., and the Hon. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, shall be the deputy chairmen. That the object of the agreement ard the parties to it shall be the making a direct line of railway from London to Man chester, as economically as possible, to carry goods and pas sengers at the cheapest possible remunerating tariff, with the greatest possible expedition consistently with safety; and that the interests of the trade between London and eanches ter, and the promises made to the public by each Company, shall be the guiding principles of the Directors. That Messrs. Ashurst and Son, Messrs. Ludlow, Son, and Torr, and John Owens, Esq., shall be the solicitors. That J. U. Rastrick and George Remington, Esqs,, shall be the joint engineers. BIRMINGHAM AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAYS. A considerable sensation was caused on Saturday in Liver pool by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham Railway Company with that of the Grand Junction, a measure which involves important and valuable consequences to the Proprietors, and will, it is expected, lead to results very advantageous to the public. On a calcu lation of the respective interests of the parties, it appeared, that while the London and Birmingham line yielded the full dividend of ten per cent., the Grand Junction was in a condition to pay twelve per cent., so that the equalisation of the two properties for equal dividends ha future required that the Grand Junction shares should be " written up" twenty pounds per share ; and it was, therefore, agreed, that new shares of twenty pounds each should be created, free of cost, to be added to the original shares, and the whole formed into common stock, entitled to common divi dends from the Ist of October instant. It has been deter mined, also, we understand, that on the London and Bir mingham line the Company will now commence being their own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will at once be made in the charges for the conveyance both of goods and passengers, so as to render the calculations upon which any project of competing lines may be besed extremely un promising. By arrangements in progress the consolidated Com pany will proceed to establish what has long been considered a desideratum, a complete system of trunk line from London to Glasgow (via the Carlisle and the Caledonian) ; and from Lo ndon to Holyhead, and across Ireland ; and they have decided to encourage in every way the formations into such trunk lines of the most direct lines aubserving the trade of the country It is felt that these gigantic operations will "be a heavy. blow and great discouragement" to many of the projects re cently afloat, while they give stability to many schemes of undoubted utility.—Liverpool Mercury. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. This importantQii:nYriave;Weiti7edtheir meeting to consider the question of amalgamating the Clydesdale Junc tion Railway with the Caledonian—a measure already ar ranged by the directors, and only awaiting the confirmation of the shareholders. A number of branch lines to the Cale donian will also be proposed to the shareholders. We shall give a full report of the meeting when it takes place. ----- SCOTTISH GRAND JUNCTION AND SCOTTISH WESTERN RAILWAYS. It is gratifying to learn that these two rival schemes have entered into arrangements by which, upon fair and reasonable terms, the latter company is to withdraw, so that there will be no opposition to the Oban line and communication with the West Highlands. The arrangement is expected to be approved and confirmed by the shareholders next Wednesday RULES AND _ItEG . ULATI9NS FOR THE STEAM- BOAT PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. j, That strict rules be laid down from time to time,and en forced, for the access, ingress, use, and egress of the pier, and for the regulation of the attendants regarding the navigation of the rifer, the accommodation and safety of the public, and the conven. l ence of the steam-boats using it. 2.

INA E , 1 '-s - -••• - , °. • i i .-f ,: t W = DESTRUCTIVE FlRESteri in rm rt bAtrOs About eight o'clock on Saturday evening a barn tr re farmyard of Mr. Smith, an extensive farmer at Northfleet green, in the parish of Northfleet, near Gravesend, was dis covered to be oft tire, and messengers were at once dispatched to Gravesend and Dartford for the engines. Before they arrived, however, the wheat-stacks and range of out-offices in the yard caught fire, and upon the errival of the Gravesend engines the whole of premises were in flames. The Dart ford engines soon after arrived, and a goOd supply cf water being at hand, they played with a sufficiency of success to save the dwelling-house: but the barns, stables, and other out-offices, together with four large stacks of wheat, and a quantity of wheat, partly thrashed and partly unthrashed, which had been in the barn in which the fire originated, were totally consumed. The horses and pigs were for tunately driven out of their respective houses of shelter before the fire communicated to them. Mr. Smith was in Gravesend when the alarm of fire apparently in the direction of his house was given ; but until he approached its vicinity he Was not aware of the calamity that awaited his return home. All that it was • possible to do to preserve the dwelling-house was accom plished by the enginemen, assisted by the people cf the neighbourhood; but the fire raged in the farmyard with a fury altogether irrepressible by any effort of those parties, or by any supply of water, however copiously discharged upon it by the engines. The destruction of and damage to property is estimated at 2,0007. The buildings are fully insured, as is also the stock, the former by the proprietor, Mr. Brenchley, of Woomble-hall, Northfleet, to whom the pre mises on the farm held by Mr. Mace, and which were burnt down this time twelvemonth, also belonged, and the farm stock by Mr. Smith, the tenant. About seven minutes past five o'clock yesterday morning a flame was observed by a policeman at the station-house, Gravesend, to burst through a first floor window of the Black Horse Tavern, nearly opposite the Town-hal!, in High -street ; an alarm being immediately given, the inmates of the house rushed from their respective bed-rooms, some down stairs, and some into the large parlour on the first floor. From the front room in the lower part of the house Mrs. King, the landlady, and her daughter were compelled to retreat, and leave the money and papers which it was their object to pre serve, and endeavour to save their lives through one of the first floor windows, many of the inmates having already effected their escape in that way. When they got into the large room alluded to, fifteen or sixteen of the lodgers, the house being full, as it was the fair time, were endeavouring to get out of the two windows, and Mrs. King leaped out of one, f.dlowed by Miss King and a man named Aldridge. At this time the flames also burst through the windows, and the whole house, in an inconceivable short time, was one mass of flame. By this time the Graveiend engines, which had been at the fire at Northfleet-green, arrived on the spot, but no water could be procured for nearly twentyminutes, an interval which was occupied in communicating with the superintendent of the waterworks, and during which the fire extended to the houses on either side of the Black Horse. The Dartford and Rochester engines arrived from Northfleet• green, where they had been detained in a successful attempt to save Mr. Smith's house, but even when they arrived the water had not been laid on. However, there was soon a copious supply, and the efforts of the firemen were directed to the prevention of the spread of the fire to the houses adjoining the Black Horse on either side; but all their efforts were fruitless to prevent the communication of the fire to the houses in the rear of the Black Horse, as well as to those in the alley lead ing from High-street to Princes-street, and to the three houses at each side of the Black Horse and fronting High street. The whole of these were one mass of flame, which, despite the great quantity of water at this time dis charged upon it by the fire-engines, was not abated until it had no more fuel to feed upon. About eight o'clock the Black Horse Tavern and its extensive stabling and other appurtenances, together with the house of Mr. Tollis, butcher; Mr. Smith, grocer; Mr. Hollingdale, draper; Mr. Harris, bootmaker; and Mr. Hall, China warehousekeeper, were totally destroyed. To the rear of those flouting Princes-street, a slaughter-house of Mr. Tollis's and four cot tages belonging to Mr. Hall were also destroyed. The Ca therine Whel Tavern, next to Mr. Smith's house, the party wall of which resisted the extension of the fire to the tavern, was much damaged, as were the houses immediately above Mr. Hollingdale's. At the time the fire broke out there were, as Mrs. King states, 26 persons, including lodgers, is the house. One of them, a man belonging to Mr. IVombwell's show-booth at the fair, is missing, and supposed to have been consumed; but at the time of our reporter leaving last even ing no search for his remains, if he be destroyed, had been in stituted in the ruins. In leaping from the window Mrs. King suffered a severe injury, having three of her ribs broken. Mr. Aldridge was still more severely if not fatally injured in the back. Miss Kiug was also badly hurt. Mr. King, the landlord of the Black Horse, was not at home. He is but partially insured, and his loss, it is said, is little less that ruinous to him. Neither Mr. Hall nor Mr. Hollingdale is insured in respect either to stock or houses. Mr. Tollis's house was fully insured, but his furniture was not, and he barely saved his account books. In Mr. King's desk was, as our reporter learned, over 1001. in gold and notes; the latter consumed, and the former amid the ruins, as are the remains, as is sup posed, of at least the showman of Mr. Wombell. Mrs. King does not appear to be quite sure of the number of lodgers that night in the house, as many came in from the fair at various hours of the night up to three o'clock. How the fire origi nated is doubtful, but there are strong reasons for believing that it was in the smoking-room. The policeman states that when he first discovered it the flame was issuing from a win • dow on the first floor. The loss is variously estimated, but it would appear to be about 10,000/. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 25. RE SCALES, AN INSOLVENT. In this case the insolvent, the well-known ex-Alderman. Scales, came up in custody on his interim order. His sche dule set forth his debts to be 1,8101. 7s. 4d., whilst his credits were stated to amount to 6,4711. ss. The insolvent was sup ported by Mr. King, and opposed by Mr. Vines, of Reading, on behalf of the detaining creditor, the Hon. Shaw Lefevre, the Speaker of the House of Commons, whose claim was for law costs in some Chancery suit. The insolvant stated that his debts only amounted to 20/. ; 100/. was also placed in his schedule as due to his bankers, and 1001. to his solicitor • to whom, however, he did not owe more than 401. He further owed 30/. for taxes, and, as he had before said, 201. for debt!, which he called debts!, because they contributed to his personal comforts. Mr. Vines prayed for an adjournment, on the ground that Mr. Lefevre, who was at Heckfield, in Hampshire, had only received the required notice on the previous day. Mr. King said he had left a notice at the Speaker's house, in Eaton-square, on Thursday, and also on that day had sent a copy of it by post to Mr. Lefevre, and to the agents of his solicitor in town. The COMMISSIONEtt observed, that it was absurd for Mr. Scales to say that his debts only amounted to 201., when he had stated them in his schedule to be 1,8101. Mr. Scales-1,2001. of that sum is secured on freehold pro perty, which the creditors may sell. The remaining 6001. was put in my schedule against my conviction by my soli citor, as he said I was bound to enter the names. The in solvent added, that if his estate did not pay 20s. in the pound, he had an annuity of 1201. per annum, a part of which he would set aside for the payment of his debts and liabilities. The Speaker of the House of Commons, as he was called, his only detaining creditor, had persecuted him from day to day. After some discussion between his Honour and the soli citors, an adjournment until the 10th November was agreed to, on the ground of Mr. Lefevre's not having received suf ficient notice. Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN recommended that the insolvent should be at once discharged from custody, as he thought there could be no apprehension of his absconding. Mr. Vines, who appeared very unwilling to adopt the sug gestion, ultimately gave way to the feeling of the Court, and the insolvent was immediately liberated. RE GARDINER, AN INSOLVENT. The insolvent, described as James Whally Gardiner, of Mortlake, Ealing, and Harley-street, Cavendish-square, " gentleman," was an advertising money-lender. The insol vent's debts were put down in his schedule as amounting to 10,389/. Os. ld., and his credits were stated at 1,416/. Mr. Wright opposed on behalf of Colonel Wilson of Alton hall, Warwickshire. It appeared from the examination of Gardiner that he had been an advertising money-lender , and that, amongst other transactions, he h a d o bt a i ne d bills from Colonel Wilson, of the value of 3,5001., which had been dis counted by the well-known Mr. Flight, the Colonel receiving 1,5001., the insolvent retaining 7001., and Mr. Flight the re maing 1,3001. After a short discussion, the Learned Commissioner ad journed the case until Wednesday, to consider whether the insolvent had been trading as a money-scrivener. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Alderman Wilson attended on Saturday to hear a counter statement to a complaint made before him last week, by Messrs. Lewis and Lowe, newspaper adver tisement agents, relative to the vexatious detention for a week of a cheque fur 2001., drawn in favour of Messrs. Lewis, and as to Mr. Lewis being refused per missionbalanee tonf hissee a t c h en e un d t irecr i r r s . th h e e de a p p u p t l y ie - d ch f ai or rin t a h n e of the Oxford, Witnev, y and Cheltenham Railway Company, said his attention had been called to the report of the appli cation on Tuesday, but as Mr. Miller, their solicitor, was out of town, he refrained from moving until he returned. He had given Mr. Lewis notice of his intention to appear this day, and he had strong ground to complain that Mr. Lewis had made a statement calculated to prejudice Mr. Miller, without notice. When the account for advertising was brought to him by the solicitor, he asked if he intended to present it at the next board, and if the bill was correct. The solicitor replied it was not. The charges were exorbitant, and he heard that Messrs. Lewis and Lowe had charged other parties 50 and 100 per cent. beyond the amount actually paid to the newspapers; and in this case there were charges from 15 to 25 per cent. beyond the proper amount.. This was ascertained by applying to some of the country papers. Mr. Hill, upon this, required that the account should be ex amined with the vouchers, and, up to this time, Mr. Lewis had declined to produce the vouchers. Sir James Duke, the Chairman of the Company, said the agents had at all events expended a considerable sum, and he proposed that a cheque should be drawn for 2001., the amount of the bill being 627/. Mr. Lewis had notice of this, but. neglected to call for a week. Mr. Lewis had stated the cheque wus obtained by Mr. Miller, but this was untrue. It remained in the possession of the appli cant (Mr. Hill), and it was Mr. Lewis's own fault that he did not have it. The Company was ready to pay what was justly due, but it was the duty of the directors to see that the money of the shareholders was not improperly expended. With respect to what passed at the last meeting, when a policeman was sent for to remove Mr. Lewis, nothing could be more quiet and circumspect than the behaviour of Mr. Miller towards Mr. Lewis, and there was nothing to justify a complaint to a magistrate. Mr. Alderman Wu-sox had no doubt the newspapers that noticed the matter before would do so again. The fairness of the charges must be discussed in a civil court. Messrs. Lowe and Lewis came in just as Mr. Hill had finished his statement, and Mr. Lewis stated, in explanation, that Mr. Hill was mistaken as to tickets being given for sums paid for The a n d v el e v r s ten t i i , s a e p m ersh . ad No a s sc tl a e l h e A f T o u r C c h h e a ra rg r ng uld suc b h e aadvertisements, e ents, which might be seen at his office, and the truth of which might be tested by inquiry at the ;offices of p n ay ewnspapers. His bill was a fair one, and he lent of it. The parties then withdrew. should ad r espective enfar enforce THE LORD MAYOR AND TILE PARISH OF ST.
