Craven t > the award, six of which were substantially that the arbitrator had ex ceeded his authority in allowing counter-claims On behalf of the company, end the seventh end principal objection was that the arbitrator had allowed the demanda of the contractors for work done after the 27th September, 1849, when the supplemental deed was made. A further objt , ction was, that the award mspe trader the original articles of agreement, whereas there was no submission under the original articles. Mr. W. H. WATSON. Q.C., (with whom was Mr. I), Seymour) this morning atiowatal cause against the rule on the part of the Sunderland Duck Company. In answer to the objection that the arbitrator had adjudicated upon claims sent in by the con tractors in respect of work done after the 27th September, 1849, the fact was that Messrs. Craven never sent into the company any claim up to that dare; but when the works.- were finished they sent in all their claims for work done feom the communcernent of the contract down to the completion of the weak. The bill of claims sent in by the coi.traeter, , did not. distingui , h between the work done, before the 27th September, 1849, and that which was done afierwartir. There was an agreement by parole between the parties, and the Messrs. Craven having sent in c;aims subse quently to the 27th September, 1849, they could not more to set aside this award, bee seise the submission was partly urelar the savpleincn tn.! tigreetnn:t anti partly by parole. The Court could only deal Iv - till an awari so far as the submission was made a rule of ceurt; they could not deal with it where it was partly by parole and partly by rule of court. He (Ur. Watson) also con tended that the award could not be set tiaitiz., because the agreement for the award was wholly independent of the submission to arbitration. The 11th objection was, that the award was bad, as professedly ono and indivisible; but ho submitted that objection was untenable, there being one contract governing the whole titan, and all toe claims under that contract having been sent in, and the arbitrtitor having determined on finding what sum was due to the contractors, which was the result of tt e whole, matters in di,pute between them. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, on the same side, contended that the wording of the last clause of the original agreement was sufficient to cover anything that had been done by the arbitrator. Sir F. THESIGER (with whom was Mr. Atherton) on bAralf of the contractors, contended that the award proceeded entirely on the supplemental agreement, which was wrong. The Court discharged the rule without giving any opinion as to the v , ! idity oF , tbe award. EXCHEQuEtt.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Blanco.) Their Lordships took it e 91:wcial puper to-day, but no case involving any question of general importance was heard during the morning. (Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guilahall before Mr. Baron MARTIN cud a Common Jury.) DALE V. CLEGHORN. This was an action on trespass to recover compensa tion in damages for an assault. Mr. Bramwell conducted the plaintif f 's case, r:d Mr. Humfrey appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff is an elderly gentleman, and a cierk in a mercantile house, and itio defendant, who is much younger in years, carries on the busitiosn of a merchant in Billiter lane. It appeared that the plaintiff; who was accompanied by his two daughters, and five more young ladies, was waiting on the 6th of July last, about six in the evening, at the Angel Inn, Islington, for the purpose of procuring rn omnibus to Hackney. When an omnibus ttrrived he found there was sufficient room inside for the party, and fv,ving en gaged their places, 'they were about to enter, when the defendant insisted on having a s.. ,t before them. The plaintiff remonstrated with him on his conduct, where upon he gave the plaintiff a blow which knocked him do we. For the defence it was contended that the action was a vexatious one, the plaintiff having given the defendant no opportunity of offering an apology. Mr. Baron MARTIN told the jury they must find a verdict for the plaintiff, but he thought it was only proper that the plaintiff should at least have enabled the defendant to apologize before he resorted to the expense of a law. suit. Verdict for plaintiff, damages 40. This finished the busin•sa ar the present sitting. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) GARDENER V. DAVEY. Mr. COLLIER applied fora rule calling upon the in formant in this case to show cause why the rule for an information in the nature of a quo warranto should not be rescinded, and the defendant reimbursed his costs dnd charges. Last year Mr. Davey and another gentleman were candidates to represent one 01 the Exeter wards in the Exeter t,wn-council, but the votes on either side being equal, the assessors gave their casting-vote in favour of Mr. Davey and he was returned as the suc cessful candidate. It was afterwards discovered, how ever, that one of the burgesses named Couch had polled in the name of Crouch, and a rule for a quo warranto was obtained, calling upon Mr, Davey to show by what right ho claimed the seat. That rule came on for argu ment some nine months ago, and the Court directed that the matter should go before a jury upon the informant putting in security for costs. The informant being a needy man, had hitherto been unable to comply with this condition, and although two assizes had been held in Exeter the question in dispute had not been carried before a jury, nor was it likely that it ever would. Still, while this rule was hanging over his head Mr. Davey would not be permitted to take his seat in the council chamber, and he therefore prayed the inter ference of the Court in the manner already mentioned. Mr. Justice PATTESON asked if there was any prece dent for a motion like this. Mr. CoLLIER was nct aware that there was any direct precedent, but there were cases in the books which by analogy bore upon the motion. For instance, the Court had frequently laid down the doctrine, that where a new trial was ordered on the performance of a certain con dition, and the condition was not complied with within a reasonable time, the rule could be rescinded with costs. Mr. Justice PATTESON said it never could have been intended that the informant could keep the rule alive for ever, and he should therefore grunt the application. Rule nisi accordinviv. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE B. W. A. SLEIGH. This bankrupt, who had been a lieutenant in the army, and was proprietor of the British Army Gazette, came up on his application for certificate. Mr. Laurance appeared for the plaititiff, and Mr. Linklater for the assignees, and offered no opposition. His HONOUR inquired what was the cause of the bankruptcy? Mr. LAURANCE said that it arose from a negotiation respecting the paper, which the bankrupt had offered to sell for 2,0001.; bankrupt had been secretary to the County t3ervice Club, aad expected to have made the paper answer. The expenses were very moderate, His HoNona granted a certificate of the second class MARLBRO'-STREET.-(T HIS DAY.) A DRUNKEN GENT.—Mr. James Mansh, gentleman, Gower -street, was charged before Mr. Bingham with being drunk and disorderly. Pratt, 311 A, stated that this morning, about half past one, he was on duty in Bluecross-street, when he saw the defendant, who was very tipsy, chasing a cat down the street, and behaving in such a boisterous man ner as to arouse the inhabitants in the street. Witness requested him to go away, when be (defendant) made use of a filthy expression and refused to leave. Witness then took him into custody. The defendant, who did not attempt to deny the charge, was fined ss. for being drunk. RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.— FIeury Luching was placed at the bar charged with assaulting Henry Field, the water man employed at the cab-rank in the Huy market. The complainant, whose face was covered with blood, said, about four o'clock this morning he was on the cab rank, when be saw the prisoner acting as waterman, a privilege to which he had no right, and on witness cautioning him against doing so, be (defendant) struck him a tremendous blow iu the mouth, winch knocked out four of his teeth. The defendant was proceeding to further violence when a constable came up, and witness gave him in charge. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fined 505., and in default committed fur a month. FRIGHTFUL GUN ACCIDENT AT PECKHAM. OD Saturday an accident of a very frightful characteri took place at Peckham-fields, to a man named Thomas Groves, in the employ of the patent pottery works, Canal-bridge, Peckham, whereby it is fea red h e will lose his life. He had killed several birds. On his return he placed his loaded gun, full-cocked, behind a haystack, with his right hand over the muzzle. The gun went off; blowing the right arm almost to pieces. He was taken, in a distressing condition, to Guy's Hospitaf, in a cab. He was examined without delay, and it was found that he had received Rich serious injury that it was deemed necessary to amputate the limb at the shoulder joint, which operation was performed. The poor fellow is in a very precarious state, arum the hemorrhage and shock to the system. CHECK) TO INTEMPERANCE IN THE NAVY.—In order to discourage the use of ardent spirits in the navy, the Admiralty have determined that in future no drawback of the duty on spirits shall be allowed to the merchants in sup plying the officers of her Majesty's ships with spirituous liquors. It is reported that their Lordships have been led to this determination in consequence of an application on the part of en officer in command, demanding the drawback on a large quantity of spirits he was about to ship. Their Lord ships' regulation, however, can only apply to the borne parts; it will be futile at any foreign station, It might, therefore, just as well have never been issued for the geed that will be produced, except that it evinces the desire of the Admiralty to throw every obstacle in the way of intemperance.—United aerrzce Gazette. ----- EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES FROM TDB PERSON. —ln. formation has been given that on the Bth inst. a gentlemen travelling in a railway carriage between the Pteston arid Tebay stations .on the Lancashire and Craiisle line was robbed of 151. in bank notes, one of them a 1, , /. note, 66,8:7, ated August ;,, 1850.

Accounts from Washington, of the vening of the sth inst., say— " The Republic denies officially that tilt President has ordered troops to Boston, with the view ca f enforcing the Fugitive Slave Law. It states that no communication has been received by the President from the Marshal at Boston, or any other Marshal, as to at ticipated vio lence; nor has the President .any informs tion that leads to the belief that any peculiar dispositi an of military force will be rendered accessary for the tecution of the lam.

Mr. George Thompson, the corn-law lecturer, had arrived at New York. Upwards of 60,000/. sterling value of gold had been reported en route from San Francisco. Late accounts had been received from California, by telegraph, via New Orleans, announcing another great conflagration at San Francisco. We extract the following resume in detail from t he journals:— " The steam ship Alabama, Captain :Foster, arrived at New Orleans on Friday, the bit inst., from Chagrcs, with late and important intelligence from California. The Alabama brings ICB passengers. " According to our brief telegr a p hic dis p atch, dated on Friday at New Orleans, there has been another de structive fire in San Francisco—the third conflagration that has visited that city within the list six months. This last disaster ended in the destruction of over 100 buildings. The loss is estimated at 50D.000 dollars. "These repeated disasters by floods stud fires in Cali fornia have fallen heavily upon some of our commercial houses; and it is not unlikely, from the immense accu mulation of goods for the fall and winter trade in San Francisco, that the losses upon our merchants will be as heavy from this third conflagration as from either of the preceding, if the purport of our brief dispatch may be relied upon. " San Francisco has to contend with two great disad vantages. It is built of wood, and chiefly of pine, the most combustible of all timber, which, after ex posure of six or seven months in the dry season becomes as inflammable as tinder. The location of the city, too, is perhaps the windiest in the world, a strong gale for the most of the day blowing in from tae sea, a suction 6 ' . created by the inten se h eat o f t h e great i nter i or va ll ey . Besides, th e re i s of necessity es yet an imperfect pollee system in San Francisco, a large and ivereasing loose por.ulation, and a great want of fire-:.ngines and an efEent fire derailment. The city, therefore, has to run all the chances of its combustible materials, the effect Of the lyre dry B,, w , en, the winds, and e large idle popu lation; and the only wou.der is that it has escaped so wen. This last destructive fire was immediately to be be retrieved, and although it f e ll heavily upon the enter prisinghe new st a t e , i t (lid not add much to reor le 0 f t the finr.ncial crisis mentioned by the last arrivals.

[ - From the Lancet and London Medical Gazette, Nov, 15.] A few months ago, I observed that persons who are short-sighted, when looking at objects at a distance, partially close their eyelids, for the purpose of over coming the difficulty they find in discerning them. This action is instinctive; it is a natural effort to•adjust the eye to an increased sphere of vision. It is well known that short-sightedness depends not only on con vexity of the cornea, but also on convexity of the lens; and having no hope of being enabled to effect any alteration in the structure of the lens, my attention was directed to the iris, which I found to be, in such persons, generally much dilated. It then occurred to me that contraction of the iris has the effect of apparently lengthening the convexity cf the cornea, which ap proaches a circumscribed plane, that permits the rays of light to eater only in a straight line. The effect of this is obvious. The length of vision hereby necessarily be comes increased, and distant objects are brought within its range. It therefore struck me, that if we could dis cover any substance which could be so applied as to con tract the iris, one cause of the defect of short-sightedness would be remedied. The result, lam happy to say, has been most satisfactory. In the first instance, I applied the extract of ginger, which was rubbed for five or ten minutes over the whole forehead, with the view of acting upon the branches of the fifth pair of nerves. After wards I substituted a concentrated tincture of ginger, of the strength of one part of ginger to two parts of spirit of wine, decolorised by animal charcoal. The success of this application was remarkable. In many cases it had the effects of doubling the length of vision. In some persons I found the iris was not much dilated, but very torpid. In these cases I applied the concentrated tinc ture of pepper, made of the same strength, and in the same manner, as the tincture of ginger. This I used until I observed that the ids had obtained a greater power of contraction and dilatation, after which I had again recourse to the tincture of ginger. This plan of treatment has been attended with the most signal success, and persons who were extremely short-sighted have very soon been enabled to lay per manently aside their concave glasses. The best method I may observe, of testing the improvement of the sight during this treatment is not by taking a printed book, and holding it near, and then at a greater distance from the eves; this range ef vision is much too limited. It is better to fix the attention of the patient upon a distant object, such as the brass key-hole cf a door, and by his stepping some paces backwards, so as to place himself at a greater distance from it, he will soon discover the progress he is making. So important a discovery as this will, I hope, he fairly tested by the membere of our profession, who may rely on the success of the treatment I base recommended, if it be only jediciously and carefully carried cut. It is possible- that the advantege derived from the tincture, as above described, may be ascribed to the alkaloid prin ciple of piperin which is held in solution in the tincture of pepper. Manchester-square, Nov. 9, 1850. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY COLLISION.—On Friday night last, about six o'clock, a fearful collision took place on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, near the Hudders field Junction, by which, although fortunately no lives have been lost or much personal injury sustained, an immense amount of damage has been done to the stock of the com pany, three engines being destroyed and a train of carriages kiaercked to pieces. As far as we could learn at a late hour on Saturday night, the accident appears to have arisen as follows :—An engine which had been undergoing repairs in the engine shed on the main line, close to the junction, was being driven ~n in order to its being shunted on to the line on which it was to be worked. In consequence of some sin gular mismanagement, it was brought into violent collision with the passenger train from Bradford. The shock was so violent as to smash completely the engine and tender, as well as the engine belonging to the passenger train, bringing the train itself to a dead stop. The passengers in alarm jumped out of the carriages, but had hardly time to become conscious of their fortunate escape when a goods train, we suppose from Leeds, dashed into the standing train, doubling up all the carriages in a moment and knocking them to shivers. The scene that presented itself after this second catastrophe is described as the most terrible that ever a railway accident produced, the entire line being blocked up with a huge mass of fragments of broken carriages and engines. It was re markable that none of the passengers were killed or injured by the flying splinters. The line was completely choked up, and men were immediately set to work to make a temporary line of rails for the transit of the usual traffic. It will be impossible in the meantime to estimate the extent of the damage. An inquiry will be promptly instituted into the circumstances connected with the catastrophe, Captain Laws having repaired to the spot immediately on , receipt of the telegraphic news of the accident. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.--CON.• TRACTS FOR CARRIAGES.—The contract for extra carriages for the Exhibition of 1851 was let on Saturday. The directors had before them tenders from seven of the most respectable carriage -builders in the country, and they ac cepted that of Mr. Wright, of Salting, near Ringborn, which was 25 per cent. lower than the highest, and about 5 per cent. lower than the next lowest tender. The price given for a carriage holding 40 persons is perhaps the lowest ever before submitted to, and is understood to be 1541. per carriage. TRANSATLANTIC PACKET STATION. ---A letter was received on Wednesday from one of the Transatlantic Packet Station Commissioners, an officer whose views were strongly expressed on this subject in the report of the Irish Railway Commissioners in 183 S. In this letter he states that in de termining on the Irish port most suited to the purposes of a packet station, "the claim of Cork should certainly not be omitted." The letter further stated that the commissioners were at present engaged drawing up a series of queries for the purpose of eliciting information, but they did not purpose making a tour or receiving oral testimony, as they did not believe that the truth could be best determined by the examination or cross-examination of local parties. The ar rival of this letter was the occasion of another meeting of the joint committees of the Corporation, Harbour Commissioners, and Committee of Merchants, 'at which the Mayor was re quested to write is Lord Hobart, the Secretary to the Com mission, for copies of the queries.— Cork Constitution. Loss OF THE EMPEROR or Rusues SrEmu•YACIIT. —The loss of the Emperor of Russia's steam-yacht Peterhoff is confirmed. She ran on shore on a fine moonlight night, mistaking the south-west of the island of Oesel for the north • east. Mr. Waterman, jun., who designed the yacht, was on board, and so, we believe, was Si r J o h n Renn i e, the con tractor and engineer. They were proceeding to Russia to de liver up the yacht to the Empero r . P art i es h ave l e ft Eng land to endeavour to recover the machinery. Those on board, we believe, were in very little danger, and comfortably enough got into the boat and landed. A Russian naval officer was in company. The yacht was insured to nearly three-fourths of her value. RAISING OF THE THIRD BASSO RELIETTO ON THE NELSON COLUMN. On Friday morning, the third basso- relievo, em blematical of the victories of Nelson, representing an event of the battle of Copenhagen, was raised to the place intended for its reception, on the east side of the pedestal of the column, in Trafalgar-square (3 brief account of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday.) It is from the studio of Mr. John Ternouth, the sculptor, and was cast in bronze by Mesers. Moore, Fressange, and Moore, of Beldwin'a-lane, Holborn. The subject is founded on an event which occurred after the battle of Copenhagen, when Nelson wrote a letter to the Crown Prince of Denmark, which con tained the following passage :—" Vice , Admiral Nelson has been commanded to spare Denmark when she no longer resists. The line of defence which covered her shores has struck to the British flag ; but if the firing is continued on the part of Denmark, he must set on fire ail the prizes that he has taken, without having the power of saving the men who have so nobly defended them. The brave Danes are the brothers, and should never be the enemies, of the English." To this note the Crown Prince replied, and inquired the particular object cf Nelson's note, who wrote ns follows :—" Lord Nelson's object in sending the flag of truce was humanity ; he there force consents that hostilities shall cease, and that the wounded Danes may be taken on shore. And Lord Nelson will take his prisoners out of the vessels, and burn or carry off his prizes as he shall think fit. Lord Nelson, with humble duty to his Royal Highness the Prince, will con sider this the greatest victory he has gained, if it may be the cause of a happy reconciliation and union be tween his Most Gracious Sovereign and his Majesty the King cf Denmark." The group represents Lord Nelson standing on the quarter-deck, handing the letter to Sir Frederick Thesiger, the bearer of the flag of truce, who is about to depart on his mission of mercy, while on the right is seen Captain Foley anxiously observing the dispatch of his commander. Other officers and seamen fill up the background, while two wounded sailors and a powder-monkey oc cupy the front extreme points. The expression in the :several countenances is excellently portrayed, and prove that the artist has truthfully caught up the spirit that characterised this impor tant event. The several figures are upwards of eight feet in height, and the whole are finely moulded. The spires of the cathedral and the principal buildings of Copenhagen are seen in the distance, and are very finely executed. This memorable battle was fought on the 2 , 1 of April, 1801, and it was on this occasion that the Commander-in-Chief (Sir Hyde Parker), fearing, from adverse winds, that he should be unable to join Nelson with his squadron, ordered signals to be made for his return. The action at this time was becoming exceedingly warm, when the signal lieutenant reported that a signal was thrown out by the Commander-in-Chief for discontinuing the action. Nelson, on being apprised of it, requested it to be acknowledged, but not repeated, and kept the signal for close action still flying, and ordered it to be kept so, remarking to Foley, " have only one eye; I have a right to be blind some times ;" and then, putting the glass to the blind eye, exclaimed, " I really do not see the signal." He added, " Keep mine flying for close battle : that's the way I answer such signals. Nail mine to the mast!" The result was a complete and signal victory, and near the conclusion of it he wrote the letter which has fir feed the subject of Mr. Ternouth'e present highly meritorious design. In the course of the day many hundred persons inspected this interesting and nationa work. COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The stock market, since the last steamer, has not varied materially for Government and State stocks, but the fan cies have been buoyaut and active. The sales have been very large and prices have had an upward tendency. There has been a fair amount of federal and state stocks sold. In exchanges there has been a fair business doing for this steamer, mainly at lOf to 108, but at the close the market fell off to 10f, with considerable sales under tele graph orders from the south. The supply was good. France were 5 17i to 5 16k; Hamburg!), 36 to 36 8 ; Bremen, 80 4 ; Amsterdam, 40 8 to 41. In freights the market is qui e t.

The supply of money continues very abundant, and loans on good collaterals are made at 5 to 6 per cent., and on Government stocks at 4} per cent. Paper, of first-class signatures, goes at 6 to 7 per cent. The trade in dry goods continues dull, though prices are not so heavy, especially of cotton fabrics. The in creased pretensions of holders check the incipient de mand. Woollen goods show more activity than cottons, and stocks of all kinds, however, are greater than the demand, and unless this increases considerably, the in creased asking prices can hardly be obtained. Brown and bleached shirtings and shcetings have advanced a fraction, but the tales at the advance are few. The stocks are still large. There is rather less doing in drills, but better prices are obtaining, and the prospect of a speedy revival of the and bagging, &c., have been in de mand, demand is good.

Con stable, a master painter, residing at Penshurst, expired sud denly in the booking-office of the South-Eastern Railway station, at that place, under the following circumstances:— Mr. Constable was approaching the station with the inten tion of proceeding to London, and when, within a short dis tance, seeing the train was at the station he began to run, hoping to be in time. On entering the booking-office, how ev-r, he staggered into the arms of the station-master, faintly asked for a glass of water, and instantly expired. Dr. Ballard was scut for and hastened to the station, but his services were unfortunately too late to be of any avail. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The new tragedy of The Templar continues to draw crowded houses here every evening. We saw it again on Saturday, and are more than confirmed in the favourable opinion which we had previously formed of the high dramatic merit of this most inte resting play, of the admirably perfect manner in which the principal characters are delineated by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, and of the splendour and magnificence of the mise en scene. The house was crowded to suffocation. FRENCH RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

At the conclusion of, the ordinary business of the court at Guildhall, on Saturday, a gentleman appeared before Alderman Challis, to ask his advice relative to a point of general interest at the present time. He wished to know whether the late innovation by the Pope of Rome upon the rights of the Sovereign of this country rendered his emissaries, or those executing his com mands, liable to any penalty? He had in his hand en Act of Parliament, passed in 1846 (9 & 10 Vic., c. 59), wherein it repealed certain Acts to enforce pains and penalties upon individuals for holding religious opinions contrary ta the forms cf the Ettlblikhed Church. One of the clauses, however, though it took away the penalty for " bringing in and putting in exc:cution of bulls, writ ings, or instruments, and other superstitious things, from the see of Rome, enacted that the aruo should be cond. dered an offence against the lave. Under this Act, was the conduct of Cardinal Wiseman, in carrying out the instructions of the Pope, an offence punishable by a common information beicro a magistrate? Alderman Challis said that the Act alluded to by the pat h• before him certainly took away the penalties in sticuttd by the 13th of Elizabeth, cap. 52; but at the same time any one might, he thought, constitute himself a prosecutor and complain of Dr. Wiseman (or any one else, acting in a similar manner, to forward :be views ot his Holiness) before any justice of the peace of the dis trict in which the offence was committed. He had no doubt that a little imprisonment would do the Cardinal some goad; but he would not like to send him to prison. However, he anticipated there would be no necessity to take such a stop. as it was reported that the Cardinal bad already received notice to quit London in forty eight hours.

DESTRUCTION OF COCKERMOUTII CHURCH, CUM BERLAND, BY Frals.—We regret to state that the ancient and beautiful church at Cockermouth, Cumberland, wag de stroyed by fire on Friday morning. Scarcely a portion, with the exception of the walls and the tower, is left standing. The fire must have broken out about two o'clock in the morning. An individual who passed by about half-past one o'clock, states that the church was then safe. A policeman, however, named Chapman, observed flames issuing from the edifice soon afterwards, and he gave an instant alarm. The whole town was soon in commotion, and the utmost activity was displayed in endeavouring to put a stop to the progress of the fire. Only one engine, however, was available, and ' there being but a small supply of water, every exertion was useless, and of this beautiful church scarcely anything is left but a heap of ruins. We believe that most of the church books and valuable records were preserved. It is, however, melancholy to state that the valuable paintings in the church, which were so much admired, were destroyed. The church which is destroyed, or chapel of ease as it has some times been called, was dedicated to All Saints. It was a magnificent building, and was situated on an eminence at the head of Kirkgate, Cockermouth. The church was enlarged and beautified in 1825. The Rev. Edward Fawcett, M.A., the present curate of the church, has held the living a great many years. The occurrence has been a very severe blow to him. It at present supposed that the fire was caused by some pipes which had just been laid in the chancel to warm it through the winter. The Lord Chancellor, in the course cf an argument on the working of an Act of Parliament, observed on Satur day, that he once heard a distinguished person describe the distinction between the English and the Irish to consist in this, "that the English contrived to make bad laws work while the Irish contrived to make good laws fail." EXETER BALL.—The Hail will be rel e Messiah on Friday, the 29th i ns t an t, w ith a performance o f by the S acred Hpnic Society. IRRIGATION IN INDIA. We have of late had repeated occasion to notice the magnificent schemes of irrigation the prosecution of which has for some time past been in progress both in the north-west provinces end in the Madras presi dency ; and in connexion with the subject of the preceding article thi s l e ads us to turn our attention to our own doors, where we have river deltas scarcely inferior in anythine save magnitude to those of the Nile, the Ganges, and Gudavery, laying waste for want of water—rivers of the most magnificent dimensio ns fl ow i ng past, and pouring their unproductive treasures into the ocean. The Indus and the Taptee furnish examples of our meaning ; were the bounty of nature there made use of, and the unfailing stream applied to the irrigation of the fertile but at present unproductive soil, every decade of years would pay back to us the capital at the outset expended. A single experiment v‘ ould in such cases suffice to bring private enterprise into the field, were Govern ment not disposed to do more than show the example: the example once shown, individual capitalists would be delighted to relieve them of all future responsi bilities, and not only to improve the country for theta without charge, hut to pay them for permission to in troduce improvements. We some months back mentioned an enterprise of this sort commenced, and to a considerable extent carried out, near Kurrachee, by one of a race remarkable for anything but peaceful pursuits. An enter prising Belooch of Kelat made an offer to Sir C. Napier to bring water from the hills to the sea in an underground tunnel or crease, after the manner of his country, without charge to the public, or further recompense for himself than permission to hold the land he was able to irrigate for a term of years free of charge. Several miles of the work were actually executed, and may yet be seen on the line of road from the camp to the crocodile tanks. We are not aware of the reason of its discontinuance, but the pro jector, who would even in this way most probably have found his reward, naturally preferred the plan of his country to the much more economical plan of bringing water direct from the Indus. The wonder ful tunnels that traverse Affghanistan are obviously calculated, in the first place, to trap at a sufficient depth below the surface the springs which, when exposed, dry up before the summer sun ; and in the second piace, to get over the diffi culty of surface undulations. The gain of avoid ance of evaporation from constant tunnelling, especi ally through ground where arching would be requi site, is much more than compensated by the primary outlay and the limited capacity of a tunnel compared to that of a canal. But if the less desirable system satisfied a Belooch that it would pay, how much more likely would the substitute suggested ensure an ample return ? The unfertilised portion of the delta of the Indus is as nearly as posible identical in all its cha racteristics with that of the Nile beyond the limit of the inundation ; both to the casual observer pre sent the appearance of a hard barren bed of clay-- when more minutely examined both turn out to be the rich alluvia of the primary rocks of the distant mountains mingled with the detritus of the soft ter tiary limestones which wall in the basins of both rivers ; both are identical wh-li those more favoured portions of the delta tendered fertile by the overflow of the etresin ; and both are capable °I . being made, by the application of wider, equal in productiveness to the most fertne of the lands which they adjoin. So it is with the Taptee. From Domus by the sea to far beyond Su rat, and so southward towards Bombay, we have a vast track of alluvial land—if less barren than the dessert of Lower Sinde mainly indebted to the rains:for what fertility it possesses—for the greater part of the year yielding melting. The Court of Directors might with perfect sefety guarantee 10 or 20 per cent. on money expended on enterprises undertaken for the cultivation of such lands as these, with out the smallest fear of being called on for a shilling after the work was once well begun; and with the perfect certainty that whatever they might at the outset advance would be paid back in full so soon as returns began to come in, and re turned ultimately a hundred fold in the shape of the improved productiveness of the country. In both these cases Providence has provided with means of conveyance for the produce it only requires the in dustry of man to bring into existence. Along the margins, or through the centre of the promising lands reproaching us as the authors of their barren ness, sweep the waters of the ocean or those of navi gable rivers, and the boat or buggolow could at once receive its frieght from the fields whereon it grew.-- Bombay Times. THE ARCHBISHOP of NEW YORK. In one of our morning contemporaries we find the following very important official document, which seems to have been the first issued by the newly created Archbishop of this diocese since he received the pallium from the Holy Father of Rome : " New York, Oct. 22, 1850. " Dear Sir,—Having been present at the first ex hibition of your panoramic views of the Island of Cuba, I take great pleasure in expressing to you the satisfaction which I experienced on that occasion. I regard the views as of high artistic merit, and I can conceive of no entertainment more innocent, interest ing, and instructive, than that which your evening exhibition affords. Wishing you every success, "I remain with sincere regard, " Your obedient servant, " JOHN, Archbishop of New York. "Mr. 0. B. Loomis, New York." The Archbishop's approval of this exhibition is very important and very satisfactory. It reflects the highest evidence upon his good taste and critica judgment in the fine arts. But there are a number of other interesting exhibitions to be seen in this city—there is a wonderful collection of strange and curious articles in Barnum's Museum, for example, for which the certificate of the Archbishop might be of great advantage, in the present crisis. The woolly horse, of course, needs no epostolical affidavit, he hav ing been duly examined and pronounced upon by Colonel Benton at Washington. But, seriously, it is a matter of regret that Archbishop Hughes should lend his archiepiscopal authority to the puffing a panorama. His positionis too high in the religious world, and his duties too lofty to justify his de• scending to such trifles as newsp,7per puffing of catch penny paintings.—. New York Herald. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. The inhabitants of the neighbouring town of Bury have been thrown into a. state of unusual excitement, in consequence of a medical gentleman, of extensive practice in his profession, and of considerable lite rary attainments, having suddenly disappeared from the town and neighbourhood. Various conjec tures were entertained and expressed relative to the cause of his unexpected absence; some attributing it to his having business in London, others to the indulgence of a capricious whim, while others were suspicious that circumstances of a more serious character would shortly be dis closed. The latter opinion proved to be the most correct, for in a short time the Rev. Mr. Bell, Wes leyan minister in the Southport circuit, received the distressing intelligence that his daughter, who was governess in a respectable seminary in the neighbour hood of Southport, had suddenly taken her departure without giving previous notice of her intentions; and as a gentleman had been observed in the neighbour hoop of the establishment whose conduct had excited suspicion, there was reason to fear that an elope ment, had taken place. A combination of circum stances proved that the suspicion was not without foundation ; for the family of the medical gentleman, consisting of a wife and four children, were soon made sensible that the husband and father had sacri ficed " home "and its relations" by seducing the daughter of a Wesleyan minister, with whom the family had been for some years on terms of intimacy. During a period of two months previous to the gentleman's departure this lady had been enjoying the bracing air of one of the watering-places in the northern division of Lancashire, and on ber re turn home she had the mortification to find that her husband had on that very morning taken his departure for London, having previously disposed of his cattle, &c., as a means of increasing the amount of money in his possession. In London the gentle man, whose name is Thomas Hatton Wardlewortb, sold his professional practice to Mr. Fletcher, sur geon, and gave him instructions to go immediately to Bury, and take possession. Mr. Virardleworth is known as an author, and as one of the proprietors of the Bury Observer, a monthly magazine, having as extensive circulation in the locality. Several articles from his pen have recently appeared, entitled " Home and its Relations, by a Medical Man."—Mandester Examiner. A comparison of the present prices of wheat, flour, and bread in London and Paris gives the following details:— The highest price of wheat of the first quality in Paris is 24f. per 1 1 4 hectolitre, which is equal to 365. Bd. per quarter; and the highest price of white wheat of the first quality in London being 48s. per quarter, it follows that wheat is 3031, c. dearer in London than in Paris. The highest quotation of flour of the first quality in Paris is 29f. 95c. the 100 kilo grammes, which is equal to 295. :11d. per sack of 2801bs. English ; and the highest quotation of flour in the London market being 40s. per sack, it follows that flour is about 38% per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
