JUPP. : I , l i l was a motion for a rule to show cause why there sh `Q not be a new trial of the above cause, on the ground th at t he the verdict, which was for the defendant, was against e evidence. tip Sergeant BYLES stated the nature of the evidence in ei.. e ase, which was tried before the Under• Sheriff of Mid- It u e l t . • It appeared that the plaintiff was a coal owner at p ai tY. and the defendant a coal dealer, owning a wharf at the : in gtoili and keeping a calla barge, which he used for '3 - . 011 1 3 08es Of his trade, employing a man named Marlowe .wheaptain.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL). lhe er-shop i n BRADLEY V. ASHFORD. be plaintiff in this action is a widow, and until lately kept Warwick -street, Golden-square. I,_ T he action was b roug ht to recover the sum of 4/. 4s. Bd. for i l 'eer, and s s. f or money lent. Th e d e f en d ant p l ea d e d th a t t w k as not indebted. It was proved that the defendant was b e i' u e habit of frequenting the house for three months, and Tg s erved with beer, and it was put down to him in the book. he CROUCII having addressed the jury for the defen d a nt, v e n jury consulted fornearly ten minutes, and then gave a rtlict f or the full amount.ne the negotiation fell through. Latterly, these negotiations had been renewed, and they bad resulted in the two Boards coming to a resolution, whereby each undertook to recom mend to its Proprietors the necessity and expediency, under existing circumstances, of an immediate amalgamation. The details, it was thought, had better be left to the respective Boards, and therefore the Directors had determined simply to put the question of amalgamation to the meeting. If, however, any Shareholder desired any information upon the details, he should be happy to answer any questions that might be put upon them ; but, in the meantime he begged to move the first resolution, which adopted the amalgamation upon the general terms of ranking the Brighton shares at COI. and Croydon at 181. 10s., and authorise the Directors to settle and arrange the other details. _ _ Mr. LEVY remarked that the Croydon Company had issued what they called an Atmospheric Kent line; and in the event of their not being able to obtain the Bill next session, they had guaranteed to return the whole of the money, minus 10s. per share. Now he wished to know whether they adopted this liability if they agreed to the amalgamation? The CHAIRMAN replied that they did, but begged to remind the Hen. Proprietor that he had mistaken the terms of the guarantee. It was not to return the money, but that the expenses should not exceed 10s. per share. Sir L. GOLMMID protested that they ought not to agree to the amalgamation without having the details before them. Mr. LEWLN differed with the Honourable Proprietor. There was no necessity for their looking to past results, but they'ought rather to see what would be the prospective ad vantages of the amalgamation. Believing this to be the true principle which ought to guide them, he wished to ask the Chairman one or two questions. It had been stated what would be the effect of the amalgamation upon the Kent. Rue ; and he should be glad to know what its effect would be upon the Portsmouth Atmospheric, the contemplated line from Dorking and Shoreham, and the Kent lines generally. The CHAIRMAN replied that, with reference to the Ports mouth Atmospheric line, he need hardly remind the meeting that it was a distinct Company, and consequently the amalgamation did not involve an amalgamation with the Portsmouth Atmospheric Company. With reference to the Dorking, he might state, that there was no connexion between the gentlemen who promoted that line and the Brighton and Croydon. Those gentlemen would have to take their chance of coming before Parliament in the next session, and to rely upon their own resources to overcome the difficulties which beset them, for he could state that they were not at all bound to help them over those dif ficulties. Sir LIONEL GoLuslriu asked whether the dividend of the Croydon Company was likely to increase under the amalga mation ? _ _ _ Mr.,Pkrita CLARKE, the manager of the line. replied that the amalgamation would have the effect of causing a consi derable reduction in the expenditure of the two companies ; and from a calculation he had made he could state that the dividend of the Croydon Company, for the twelve months ending in June last, would be 61. per cent. on 181. 10s.— (Hear, hear, and applause). Captain HATISAM warmly supported the amalgamation, and pointed out to the meeting that they lost their West-end Terminus project through the opposition of the Croydon. That opposition would cease with the amalgamation.— (Hear, hear). After some further discussion, the resolution for the amal gamation was unanimously adopted, as was also the other resolution mentioned in the advertisement. _ _ _ CovE--Before the meeting broke up wished to know what had been the result of the new system which had lately been adopted of reducing the fairs. The CHAIRMAN said it had proved most successful. An HON. PROPRIETOR asked when the Brighton and Chi chester, and the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings lines were likely to be completed. The Cmurimert replied that it was impossible to say with any certainty. They expected, however, thit the first would be ready for opening by the end of the present year, and the latter by next spring. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and the Directors, and the meeting terminated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES—TUESDAY.

DUBLIN, Nov. 4.—There was a very full attendance to• day at the adjourneil meeting. At half-past two o'clock the eiair was taken, on the motion of " the Liberator," by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP read the resolutions of the Committee, sub- mitted to the Lord Lieutenant on the preceding day, together with his Excellency's answer: The answer was received with partial hisses. Mr. HAUGHTON expressed his regret that any resolution should be agreed to to stop the exportation of food. They ought not to place any restriction on commercial pursuits ; other steps could be taken to prevent famine. His plan was to call on the Government to place at their disposal money to purchase fuod in the markets of Europe, guaranteeing the repayment by a tax on the country. He thought the plan of raising money on the Woods and Forests revenue a bad one, as no country or people ought to go in debt. Mr. S. GORDON thought it a bad move to go to the Lord Lieutenant as he had no power, still he thought they would derive good from the meetings, for they might agree to a call on the Government to repeal the law on the importation of food. Mr. Gordon submitted a resolution embodying the purport of his speech. Mr. BRYAN seconded the resolution. Mr. J. A. O'NEILL stated that Mr. Haughton's suggestion was that we should purchase in the European markets, but where were the markets open to them to purchase food. The ports of Europe were closed against them. Mr. O'Neill discussed at considerable length the course adopted by the Lord Lieutenant. The Lord Lieutenant should not have contented himself with police reports The Lords Lieute nants of counties ought to call meetings of their districts or the Deputy lieutenants in their baronies and parishes, to see what could be done. It wasn't enough for them to go about with a potato in their pockets, but be ready to put their hands there when the time came. Mr. O'Neill again ad- verted to Mr. Haughton's proposition. He recommended the use of ardent appeals to Almighty God to deal with us in this judgment with clemency. Mr. CLASSON next came forward, and moved as an amend ment on the proposition of Mr. Gordon, the appointment of a Committee, which was seconded by Mr. J. A. O'Neill Mr. HAUQILTON asked why they should seek to give the former resolution the go-by ? Mr. O'Coxr/ELL said they were indisposed to introduce a political question into the meeting. He was as sincere a free trader as anybody could be, but he was not for free-trade to the exclusion of the consideration of a question of probable famine to the country. Mr. J. A. O'NEILL said the passing of Mr. Gordon's reso lution would keep from their Committee most respectable and influential people of the country. Mr. Dixos said the disease, he was sorry to say, was pro gressing. The Lord Lieutenant did net say funds would be forthcoming if what he called a necessity should arise. He was in reality one of Mr. O'Connell's best Repealers. The LIBERATOR then came forward, and said his purpose was to support a practical plan for the purpose of carrying out the measures of the Committee, for the purpose of avoiding famine and pestilence. He appealed to Mr. Haugh ton whether the object of the Anti-corn-law League was not to get into the country all the corn they could, without ever thinking of sending it out of the country. i Ireland was pe culiarly circumstanced—her produce went into England, and the price never came back. That was what he supposed was called a union. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman defended the plan of raising money on the Woods and Forests. He then adverted to the interview with - the Lord Lieutenant. They were badly treated. The Lord Lieutenant was very uncivil to take the Lord Mayor out of his baili wick. He didn't care if they got anything, but to be put into one cold room and bowed out of another, but he gave them no promise, and he asked no in formation. He (the Liberator) then commented on the Lord Lieutenant's answer, paragraph by paragraph, keeping the assemblage in a continued roar of laughter at the ludicrous light in which he placed it before the public. The assertion that there was " no pressure in the market" was untrue ; it was gross and lamentable ignorance on the part of the Lord Lieutenant. The Liberator then proceeded to develops his remedies for the condition of the country. He would pro pose in the next Committee—a Committee of twenty—a tax on absentee property. Every man who went on that Com mittee should show his intention of working by paying his five guineas. They would lose the assistance of one-third of the gentlemen who would support them if they were pledged to abolish the corn-law. He suggested to Mr. Gordon to withdraw his resolution, that their labours should be united to charity alone, in harmony and in union. After some consideration, and an attempt to persevere, which the meeting would not sanction, Mr. Gordon, at the suggestion of his seconder, withdrew the resolution, and the amendment—the appointment of a Committee—was carried nem. con. _ _ _ The Committee was then named. It is as follows: The Lord Mayor, Duke of Leinster, Lord Cloncurry, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Grattan, Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Classon, Mr. Mahony, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Bermingham, Mr. T. Gresham, Mr. Perry, Dr. Gray, Mr. O'Donoughoe, Rev. Dr. Yore, the O'Connor Don, Sir J. Power, C. Fitzsimon, C. M'Loughlio, J. Dunn, Alderman Keshen, Alderman Gardiner, Sir J. Murray, Dr. Kane, Alderman M'Kenna, Alderman O'Brien, M. T. Whelan, M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Tennyson. The Committee is to assemble each day at two o'clock, at the Mansion-house. Mr. FITZSIMON spoke of the course adopted in Belgium. They had stored provisions of all kinds in that country in granaries. But the Belgians had adopted one plan in the stubble lands they had already ploughed, and sowed with oats, barley, rye, and berg, and that in the hard season, the time between the two crops. They would have food, if the farmers adopt the wise example of the Belgians. The Bel gians have also planted already hundreds of acres of potatoes, which, though the frost is very severe there, they protect by scattering straw over them in winter, and this crop also they will have early next year. Mr. BERMINGHAM said the landlord who did not tell his tenantry to keep his oats in his haggard, could not die easy on his bed. Lord Clonbrock had told him he desired his tenantry not to touch their oats, and the landlord who did otherwise would incur a curse which all thc prayers of his household could not stay. Mr. O'Neill was then called to the chair, thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting separated. COLLIERY EXPLOSION. TIIE Cur.-FIRST TIES. Figaro beat Gift. IVeronica beat Tomahawk.

FULLY BURNT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) WARRINGTON, Nov. s.—This morning at five o'clock, tLe No. 3 coal-pit, belonging to Meszrs. Turner and Evans, at llaydock, near Newton, Lancashire, caught tire, (by some means at present not known,) and a most tremendous ex plosion took place, which uplifted and carried to a consider able distance the planks fastened at the mouth of the pit. These collieries are at work both night and day; the night men had just returned from the pit, and the day-men in the act of descending, nineteen of whom had gone down when the explosion occurred; had it happened a few minutes later about twenty more would have shared the same fate as their unfortunate companions. Some were actually hanging by the rope when it took place. As soon as safety would permit their fellow-men went down to explore the full extent of the mischief, and nine dead bodies were found, amongst whom was that of a boy, who was so dreadfully mutilated that they were under the necessity of putting him in a sack in order to get him up. Ten men were gat up alive, but all so seri ously burnt, that not the least hopes are entertained of their recovery, except one, who seems to have been more fortunate than the rest. These most unfortunate men are nearly all married, and have left most of them large families to lament, and it is to be feared grievously suffer this their sudden, un expected, and to them irretrievable loss. The inquest will take place at Ilaydock to-morrow. Since writing the above, I have been informed of an acci dent by gunpowder, to a boy in this town, who, having some in his hand it ignited, and he is sa seriously burnt that his life is despaired of. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE SWINDLING. Two men are at present in custody, under warrants from the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, charged with various swindling transactions of a very extensive description. One of them calls himself Captain Paul 241‘Gregor, of Seafield House, Arran, and the other is George Inglis, a spirit dealer, in King street, Glasgow. The impositions with which the parties are charged embrace a great number of cases, and have reference to a multiplicity of articles ; but the following are the more important :—Captain Paul M'Gregor, it appears, in the character of occupant of Seafield House, Arran (of which, by the way, he is actually the tenant), ordered from Mr. Yellowlees. coach-bu►lder, Edinburgh, a fine chariot, valued at 100/., which was received in Glasgow, and the vehicle, it is alleged, was forthwith taken to Salford. Manchester, and there sold for 45/. By a similar order a bull and three cows, of . the Alderney and Guernsey breed, were obtained from an agent in England, who, no doubt, entertained the belief that they were to form part of the fancy or ornamental stock of a landed proprietor in Arran ; but, after reaching Glasgow, they were taken to the cattle market, and, as is alleged, sold for what they would bring. In the possession of one of the prisoners, among other papers which brought to light many of their transactions, was found the invo►ce of a second chariot fram a house in London. Of this vehicle, which appears to have been of considerable value, no trace can be found; and, therefore, as far as has been ascertained, it has never entered the avenue of Seafield House. Several piano fortes, gold watches, and other articles of value, have also been ordered and received from London, besides other goods of the most varied character being ordered from Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, and other towns. They have even dealt in guano, and quantities of this valuable article have been requested to be sent to Captain Paul M'Gregor, from Liverpool, but we have not ascertained whether the island of Arran has ever been benefited in an agricultural point of view by its introduction there as a manure. In short, the trans actions of the parties were so extraordinary, that nothing which could be turned into ready money seems to have escaped their notice, while they took care to pay nothing themselves ; and the authorities having procured information Which led them to believe that the whole was a swindle, they are new in gaol to answer for their conduct. Captain Paul 31‘Gregor appears to have been the individual in whose name the goods were ordered; but his coadjutor, Inglis, is charged as having been the party chiefly instrumental in disposing of them after they were received. So far as is yet known they have not favoured Glasgow with any pur chases, their, transactions being wholly with towns at a dim , ance, and these the Sheritrs authorities are searching o. t with great care and assiduity. We may farther state that many articles pawned or sold have already been re covered.—Glasgow Argus. MA b j --- /A.LBRo•-sTREET—(THIS DAY).

THE SUN, LONDbics's TITUASDAY EVEN'IN'G, NOVEMBER THE OVERLAND ROUTE to INDIA vi T RIESTE. TO THE 2Drroa OF THE TimpS. Sir,—Briefly I beg to return my thanks fer the conspicuous manner you have been pleased- to put my name before the public in connexion with the Trieste route. I beg to solicit you will allow your paper to give the public the following particulars of my journey : In the first place, the Semiramis steamer was 19 instead of 17, days between Bombay and Suez, thus a loss of two days to my express. Again, we were six days and a.half between . Alexandria and Trieste, in consequence of head winds and heavy seas the whole way (the common passage is five days), hence again a loss of one day and a half; thus three days and a half have been lost in this express 'upon the sea passage,'by which the express should have reached London in 26 days, instead of 29i days. It is generally supposed that I arrived at Trieste in the Austrian steamer; such is not the fact. I steamed to the extreme finish of the Adriatic, viz., Dwino, which is 12 miles nearer London than Trieste, and a steamer can reach within 20 yards of that place. I may now mention, Sir, an extraordinary instance .of Austrian alacrity and attention. His Excellency the Governor of Trieste, Count Stadion, Chevalier de Bruck, the head of the Austrian Lloyd's Company, and all the elite of the merchants, &c., of Trieste, were waiting for me at Dwino, thotigh at the hour of half-past twelve at night, and one of the darkest I ever experienced ; we were guided only to Dwino by the rockets sent up by them. My passport was given by order of the Emperor of Austria, and countersigned at Vienna by the representatives of Belgium, Prussia, Baden and Bavaria, countries through which I passed ; indeed, I was not asked a question throughout the journey. I shall shortly be in a position to offer to her Majesty's Government and East India Company a series of trials again by this route for three or six months certain, as they may think proper, in order to take away those doubts which may yet remain about the Trieste route. My opinion is, that the three or six trials, when determined upon, will average twenty-five days between Bombay and London ; and again I have to mention, that when the present steam ships for the Bombay line, now in course Of completion in the Thames and Clyde, are placed between- Suez and Bombay, the route rid Trieste will then be brought down to five days less; and, ere two years, I feel convinced that dispatches will be in London on the 2lst day from BOmbay. Again thanking you for the notice you have already taken of my sincere endeavours to shorten the space between India and England, and assuring you of my unalterable devotion thereto, I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, THOMAS WAGHORN, Lieutenant, R.N. 34, Cornbill, Nov 4. NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING. • The Queen steam-ship, Captain Russell, arrived this morn ing at nine o'clock, with the usual Peninsular mails, which were dispatched to town- by the eleven o'clock A.M. train. She also brings 270 boxes of oranges, 24 barrels of olives, a quantity of grapes, 40 cases of eggs, and about 2,600/. in specie, besides a variety of other packages of merchandise. The Queen left Gibraltar on the 27th of October; Cadiz, 28th ; Lisbon, 30th ; Oporto, 31st ; Corunna, Nov. 1; and Vigo on the same day. Her Majesty's ship Flamer, and her Majesty's brig Fantome, the United 'States sloop of war Cum berland, French steamer Gassendi, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental, were at Gibraltar. The Quiver schooner was off Espchel, and wished to be re ported. The Baiter was off Cadiz on the 28th ultimo. The Royal Southern Yacht Club yacht Circassian, the Ganymede (J. H. Smith Pigott, Esq.), and the Anaconda (Sir Charles Ibbet son), had also put in at Cadiz, but left the day previous to the Queen for the South. The Spanish ship-of-war Soberana, of 72 guns, with the brig Manzanaries, of 20 guns, and steamer Isabel the Second were also lying at Cadiz. At Lisbon was the French brig-of-war Cyque, of 20 guns; also the Company's steamer, North Star. The Royal Tar had arrived at Vigo on her passage out. The Queen brings home several passengers. LISBON, Ocr. 30, 1845. A Portaria, under date of the 18th inst., has been issued from the Home Department, and published in the Diaria, setting forth the terms upon which the Government is willing to grant to any company the privilege of making railways in Portugal. Those terms are in substance as follows, viz..:- 1. The company to be allowed an exclusive privilege for 99 years, to be reckoned from the completion of each line of railway. 2. To be allowed the free use a the Crown lands through which the line may pass, and of the stone, sand, and clay therein. 3. To enjoy an exemption. during five years from import duties on all materials and machinery, which it may be neces sary to import from foreign countries. 4. An exemption from all general or local imports upon the labours of the company, or upon its shares. 5. The company to be allowed, for the first ten years, to establish whatever rates it may think proper for the convey ance of passengers and goods. At the end of that term, how ever, the rates will become subject to the consideration and approval of the Government. 6. The company must engage to begin each line of rail way within one year from the signing of the respective con•• tract, and to complete it within six years from its commence ment. 7. The plan and prospectus of each line shall be submitted :o the consideration of the Government. 8. Government dispatches to be conveyed gratuitously. 9. Troops, baggage, and military stores, to be conveyed at one-fourth the ordinary rates. 10. The propelling power to be steam by means of loco motives; but the company will be 4 liberty to adopt the atmospheric principle, if deemed more expedient. 11. the works to be carried on under the supervisorsbip of agents appointed br the Government, for the purpose of pre venting any departure from the stipulated conditions. 12. The Government will make certain provisions, which are to be considered as the complement of the conditions and clauses established, as is done by the French Government in the cahieas des charges in contracting for works of this nature. 13. If the company be a foreign one, it will be considered as Portuguese, with regard, solely, to the obligations of its contract, and will be, so far, subject to the laws and tribunals of this country alone. 14. At the end of twenty years, and after that, at the end of every fifth year, the Government will have the right of appropriatirg any railway to itself, on payment of its just value, which value is to be fixed by arbitrators, upon the basis of the nett revenue of the last five years. 15. The Government will make the necessary regulations for the maintenance and security of the railways. 16. The Company contracting for any line of railway . shall deposit with the Board of Public Credit, as a guarantee for the performance of the contract, the sum of 12,000 mitres (in Portuguese Four or Five per Cent. Inscriptions) for every league of such line. _ 17. No proposal for the construction of railroads will be admitted, unless the parties making it give sufficient proof of their ability to carry the undertaking into effect. 18. All proposals are to be presented at the Home-office within six months from this date (18th October). Of the foregoing terms some appear perfectly fair ; but the 14th and 16th are of a nature to put a stop to all railway speculations in this country so long as they continue to be insisted on. The deposit required is at the rate of 1701. per mile, which for the proposed Oporto line would amount to somewhere about 150,000 i. The trusting such a Government as this with the safe keeping of so large a sum is of itself a very weighty objection ; but when to this is added the con dition, that just when any railway ceases to be a losing con. cern, and begins to yield some profit, the Government is to have the power of taking it at a valuation based upon the aggregate receipts of the last period of five years, which re ceipts the Government itself is to have the right of lessening, by lowering the rates of fares, it is scarcely credible that any company will venture upon such an undertaking. By an arrangement with the Unias Commercial Company the funds required for the payment of the next dividends in London have been provided. So far the evil day has been put off; but to a crash it is likely to come at last. The Five per Cent. Inscriptions, which were shortly ago at 75, are now at 68. and their tendency is still downward. Yesterday being the 29th anniversary of the King Con sort's birth, was a day of great rejoicing. DR. PUSE Y IN LEEDS. CONSECRATION OF ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH. The new church of St. Saviour's, in Leeds, first called " The Church of the Holy Cross," was consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon, on Tuesday last. It is well known that this church has been erected under the auspices of the Puseyites. The founder is unknown to the public, but the funds were contributed through the medium of Dr. Pusey, the leader of the sect alluded to ; and the person who chiefly provided the money is described as a great penitent, who, under the influence of contrition for his sins, has caused this church to be erected. This notion appears to be correct enough, for in the interior of the church, on a conspicuous gilt scroll, over the principal entrance, are inscribed the words, "Ye who enter this holy place, pray for the sinner who built it." The services of the consecration were ' attended by shoals of clergymen, clothed in the ple nitude of lawn and muslin, " black, white, and grey, with all their frippery." We are informed that be tween 200 and 300 were present. The event, however, which most excited public curiosity in connexion with the opening of the new church, was the appearance in propria persona of the veritable Dr. Pusey himself, who preached a sermon there on Tuesday evening. The church was, of course, crowded, not by Churchmen and Puseyites alone, but by men of every creed, and men of no creed at all, who felt a natural curiosity to see what manner of man was the ehampion of the sect, who has of late years made so much noise in the world. And of all the large concourse crammed within the walls of the edifice, on the odcasion, we will venture to say that there was not one who did not return home disappointed. That such a man should be the leader of a great and bold reli gious movement is certainly surprising. Let us briefly de scribe him :—He appears to 'be about fifty years of age, and as far as we could judge, as he stoodin the pulpit, he is of low stature. His face, which is very sallow, is rather long and quite inanimate, and his features are plain and heavy, nor can the least trace of superior intellect, or the slightest glitimier of the light of genius, be discovered on his coun tenance. his sermon fully bore out the impressions produced by his personal appearance. It was feeble and common-place. The text was from the 47th verse of the 7th chapter of Luke—" Her sins, which are many, are forgiven ; for she loved much," alluding to the penitence of Mary Magdalene. The text was chosen with a view to the circumstances under which the church—which he termed a "penitential offer ing"—was erected, and had special reference to the penitence of its founder. The sermon was, however, altogether devoid of anything calculated to please the mind or touch the heart. It was too dull to do either. The doctor read it in a loud but unmusical and monotonous tone of voice ; and, from the beginning to the end, we never observed that his eyes were uplifted from the manuscript before him, or his hands re moved from the position on the edge of the pulpit, in which they had been first placed. He preached in the surplice. Our own impression, from what we saw and heard of Dr. Pusey, is, that he is but the nominal leader of his sect; and that, being a decent inoflensive sort of man, he has been placed in the front ranks, in order to be made the puppet of those abler and craftier than himself. The world would, most assuredly, have known but little of Dr. Pusev, but for the novel and extreme doctrines which he has publicly espoused. With respect to the new church itself, it may be stated that the edifice is erected on a high mound, and rises in the midst of one of the poorest but most densely populated 'parts of the borough of Leeds. The splendour of its interior has been much exaggerated. The windows, which are all painted, form the most attractive portion of it. There is no gallery; and the floor of the church is entirely occupied with file sittings. The inside is all the less striking, during the even ing service, from being very inadequately illuminated by the dim and dirty light of tallow candles. Probably the Pu seyites, discovering no precedent_ for the use of gas in the pages of the fathers, or in tradition, think it necessary to discontinue the brilliant innovation. —Leeds Times. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ANDREW KINLOCH, THE FIRST POWER.LoOM WELVIIII.—On Wednesday evening last se cording to arrangement, Mr. Andrew Kinloch, the old power-loots weaver, was entertained to supper in Mrs. Marshall's, Trongate, by the masters, managers, tenters, and dressers connected with the power-loom manufactories in and around Glasgow. The object of the meeting was to do honour to Mr. Kinlock, who first fitted up a power.loom in Gallowgate.street, Glasgow, in the year 1793, and to present him with a sum of money, by which his latter days may be made more comfortable. Mr. John M'Bryde, of Nursery Mills, Hutchesentown, occupied the chair, supported right and Itft by Mr. Kinloch, Mr. Walter Hutcheson (one of the first apprentices of the guest of the evening), Commissioner W. C. Pattisonj Mr. Alexander, merchant"; and Mr. Sym, manager. Mr. Thomas Rich mond discharged the duties of croupier, and was supported by Mr. James Aitken, of Cook.street factory; Mr. Daniel M`Nab, ma nager, Hill-street; Mr. Gilmour, jun., and Mr. John Watson, manager, St. Rollo:. The company amounted to about 100 persons. After the withdrawal of the cloth the Chairmain gave in succession the usual loyal toast.. He then came to the toast of the evening, "The health of Mr. Andrew Kinloch, and success to the power-loom," in which he referred to the claims of Mr. Kinloch upon the good feeling and sympathy of all who had profited by the power.loom. He spoke of Andrew's years, of his ingenuity as a mechanic, of his virtuous, sober, and moral character as a man, and concluded a vary judicious address by presenting the old power-loom weaver with a beautiful and in geniously-formed wooden snuff.box, containing upwards of forty sovereigns. While he did so he intimated that the gift did not include all the money which had been subscribed by the power. loom masters of Glasgow, on behalf of the testimonial, but that an opportunity would he given to those who had put down their names, and to those who had not done so, to add their mite towards the improvement of the circumstances of the venerable and re. spected old power.loom weaver. Mr. Kinloch made a few obser- ' vations In reply, in which he cordially thanked the company for their unexpected kindness and attention to bim.—Glasgow Herald. THE WINE TRADE.—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having been pleased by their order to direct a remission of duty In all future cases of deficiency of wine deposited in the bonded warehouses and vaults, in which It should satisfactorily appear that the same has arisen from natural causes, as is now allowed in cases of deficiency of brandy, the same has been communicated to the collectors and comptrollers at the seve ral outports of the kingdom, for their information and government, and also that of all parties Interested, and witk directions to the former to make the allowance in question without application being specially made to the Board in those cases in which the deficiency beyond the recently augmented scale sanctioned in the general order of April last, shall not exceed'= per cent. on the ullag e con . tents of each cask, observing that they are first to satisfy them selves that the deficiency has arisen from natural causes, and that no abstraction or improper interference has taken place, and that a written application be made to them by the parties in each case. TIIINGS LOST FOR EVER.—Lost iwealth may be restored by industry—the wreck of health regained by temperance —forgotten know:edge restored by study—alienated friendship soothed into fbrgettnlness—even forfeited reputation won by peni • tence.and virtue. But who ever again looked upon his vanished hours—recalled his slighted }ears, stamped them with wisdom—or effaced from Heaven's record the fearful blot of wasted time ? Mr:. Sigourney. • `\~ EXTENSIVE FIRE. Last night the neighbourhood of Pentonville was visited by a most alarming and destructive fire, which, for the space of upwards of two hours completely illuminated the district. The scene of its operations was a large superficies, whereon were erected numerous workshops and storehouses, the pro perty of Mr. John Barnes, a builder, situated opposite the Episcopal Chapel, Pentonville-hill. The first discovery was made at a quarter past ten o'clock, by Mr. John Barnes, jun., through seeing a strong light in the paint stores, a building about 20 feet long by 34 wide. He immediately spread an alarm, and Mr. Joseph Barnes, without a moment's loss of time, ran to the parish engine station, and gave information of the disaster. On his return, although not more than five minutes had elapsed, the fire had travelled with such fury as to communicate with the whole range of joiners' workshops. These buildings were well stored with building materials, some finished, and some partly so. Owing to the inflammable • character of the stock upon the premises, the flames extended almost with the rapidity of lightning, seizing upon everything in the building, including the working tools of the numerous workmen. The parish engine was remarkably quick in arriving, and was got into play; the work of destruction, however, had been so great, that, by the time the first drop of water could be discharged, the fire had extended to the stabling and smith's shop, and was attacking the front dwelling houses, occupied by Mr. Joseph Barnes and several other parties. The parish engineer exerted himself to the utmost in trying to arrest the farther progress of the flames ; in that, however, he was unsuccessful, and very speedily two or three houses in Lower Queen's-row were in flames at the back. Messengers were dispatched to the different engine stations in the City, and more distant stations, and as soon as information was received, the Brigade engines from Far ringdon-street, Holborn. Whitecross-street, Watling-street, and Chandos-street depots arrived, and were set to work under the directions of Mr. Colf, the foreman of the district, and Mr. Braidwood, the Superintendent. At that time several of the brigade, and the West of England engines were at a fire which had previously broken out at Dulwich. The light thrown up by this fire was so great, that it could be distinctly seen from the Surrey hills, and forthwith Mr. Connorton ordered the West of England engine and firemen to return. After some trouble the exact seat of the conflagration was dis covered, and the engine was set to work, but it was not until past one o'clock that the fire could be said to be safely subdued, and not before the whole of Mr. J. Barnes's work shops, storehouses, joiners'-houses, paint-sheds, stabling, coachhouses, smiths' factories, and several other erections, together with a stock-in-trade valued at some thousands of pounds, were entirely consumed. Independently of which, Mr. Joseph Barnes's private dwelling-house is gutted; his furniture, worth upwards of 1,0001., deStroyed, and the whole of his wearing apparel consumed. The house occu pied by Mr. Petty, hairdresser, is partially destroyed, as well as that belonging to Mr. Bogg, confectioner, and the backs of several houses at the rear are severely damaged. As to the origin of the calamity, nothing that could be depended upon could be hscertained, but it is the opinion of Mr. Joseph Barnes that it was caused by some boys dis charging fireworks in the vicinity. The principal sufferer is insured for, we believe, 3,000/. ; but we were informed that that sum would not half way cover his loss. His son, Mr. Joseph Barnes, who has lost everything, we regret to state, is not insured 'for a single farthing. As to whether or not any of the other sufferers were insured we were unable to learn during the excitement which prevailed. The police. under the direction of Inspector Penny, VE erted themselves most admirably in preventing the crowd from impeding the operations of the firemen. FUNERAL or Du. BAcos.—The remains. of Dr. Baggs lay in state on Wednesday week, in the vestibule of Prior Park College, which was fitted up myth in the same manner as on the occasion of the funeral of his predecessor, Dr. Baines. On the coffin were placed the episcopal mitre and crosier, and arranged round were the sacerdotal vest ments in hich the deceased bishop was wont to celebrate the ceremonies of his church. On Wednesday night, by torch-light, the coffin of the Right Rev. Dr. Baines, which had been deposited above ground, in the college chapel, was removed, .and, accompanied by a solemn procession of bishops, priests, and students, was carried to a side chapel of the new church in connexion with the college (which is now in course of completion), where it was interred in the vault destined to be its final resting-place. On Thursday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, a solemn dirge was com menced by the priests, and the following bisheps of the Roman. Catholic Church :—Dr. Griffiths, of London ; Dr. Briggs, V.A., of the York District ; Dr. Waring, V.A., of the Eastern District; Dr. Brown, V.A., of Wales; Dr. Sharpies, Coadjutor V.A. of the Lancashire District. After the dirge the body was removed to, the College Chapel, where high mass for the dead was celebrated by Dr. Griffiths. The several bishops present then by turns, and according to the usages of the Church, incensed the coffin, and sprinkled it with holy water. At the conclusion of the mass a funeral procession was formed. A cross-bearer, twenty of the choir in surplices, acolytes bearing torches, the priests present, in order, and the students of the two colleges, preceded the corpse, and the procession was closed by the bishops before enumerated. Having proceeded around the outside of St. Paul's College to the new church, the corpse was there in terred with the usual rites, in a vault adjoining that in which are entombed the remains of Dr. Baines.—Somerset County Gazette. THE FIFTH or NOVEMBER.—More than usual ex citement prevailed yesterday in London and the suburbs. The anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot (1605) afforded the boys the customary sport of carrying the effigy of Guy Fawkes about the town, and that of discharging fireworks in the evening, to the great annoyance of many portions of the public—many seemed to encourage the anti-Roman Catholic speeches of the boys; and in the churches the service appointed for the day was performed. DISPATCH OF BUSINESS AT THE OLD BAILEY.— (The Recorder on the Bench).—The Recorder thought it was very hot. Mr. Clarkson was of a similar opinion. The Recorder said, that he remembered when he was a little boy he had been in the practice of attending school, and he always found himself ex ceedingly hot. Mr. Bodkin said he once had a stick which he was very fond of. Mr. Ballantine thought that sticks were very useful articles. Mr. Payne was of a similar opinion. Mr. Brief less thought that the law of ejectment was a very important one. The Recorder thought so also. He suggested that one of the windows should be opened, as he felt the draught disagreeable. Mr. Clarkson said, " Talking of windows, I once fell out of a three pair back ; tut, wonderful to relate, I fell on my legs, and was not the least hurt." Mr. Ballantine was surprised to hear that, considering what a heavy man his Learned Friend was. The Re_ corder though; they were talking on subjects which had no con nexion with the business of the Court. The case of" John Smith versus Elizabeth Buggins" was then proceeded with, and was merely interrupted by about three hundred and fifty observations from the Bar and the Bench, which had nothing whatever to do with the business before the Court.—Punch. DEATH OF SIR JOHN MORTLOCK.—The above highly respected gentleman, one of her Majesty's Commissioners of Excise, died at his residence, 11, Dorset. square, on Monday evening last, after a lingering illness of several months. Sir John was in the sixty-eighth year of his age, and held the office of Com missioner of Excise for nearly thirty years, and previously to that of Comptroller in the General Post-office. By his decease an office of 1,00(1. per annum will thus be placed at the disposal of the Go vernment. &MTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION.-WARWICK, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—Lord Brooke, the son of Lord Warwick, was this morning put in nomination, and returned without opposi tion, although nobody knows where his Lordship is, what he is doing. when he will return, or what he will do or say in reference to his constituents when he comes home. So much for being the noble son of the Noble Lord of an old borough, where family in fluence has always preponderated, and where resistance to the will of the Castle has been unavailing. Lord Brooke himself is a very amiable young man ; but how far he may be capable of represent ing the borough in the now inevitable arduous struggles in which the Government and Parliament .of the country will be engaged is another consideration. SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE RIVER.--On Wednes day an inquest was held at the Rose and Crown Inn, Putney, be fore Mr. Carter, upon the body of Richard Absalom, aged 61, late gardener to John Fuller, Esq,, of Streatham, whose body was found Boating in the river off the College of Civil Engineers, Putney. Charles John Absalom, gardener to Mr. Fuller, of Streatham, said he knew the deceased to be his father by his clothing and a scar on the lip, H e b a d b een m i ss i ng s i nce th e 14th of October, when he left home as he alleged to seek for work. He had been six years head gardener t o M r . F u ll er , but was dis- charged by' that gentleman on the 11th of October, ' principally in consequence of his being unable to discharge Its duties. Witness was appointed to the situation, and deceased was told that he might continue, with his family, to reside in one of the lodges, neverthe less Tie became very desponding. The jury, in the absence of fur ther evidence, returned as their verdict, " That the deceased was found drowned in the river Thames, but how he came into the water there was no evidence to prove." STATE OF TRADE.---There was very little demand od yesterday, either for gos or. yarn ; and, where any business was done, prices: were generally lower than on the preceding Tuesday. There is, however, so complete an absence of stock that the spin. ners and manufacturers generally are by no means disposed t 3 press sales ; many, indeed, are still working to order, and consequently very well able to wait for the chance of better prices..--ROCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, I"NDAY) Nov. 3.—We have another dull market, but prices have undergone little or no change. Wool is much the same in price it was on th e p rece di ng Monday.--Man chester Guardian. A letter from Pisa, cf the 29th ult.,' says :—" The improvement in the health of Ibrahim Pacha has continued; he is at length perfectly recovered from his serious indisposi tion. He has taken an excursion to Leghorn to meet Lis son, Isrnael Bey. There is every reason to believe that Ibrahim Pacha will go to France much sooner than wu at drat expected:" • THE COLOSSEUM. The proprietor of the Colosseum has sought to show his gratitude to the public for the patronage hitherto bestowed on him in the best possible manner—by making this mag nificent exhibition yet more attractive. Who does not re member the superb effects of the grand panorama of London by moonlight. It would at first sight have appeared impos sible to add to its beauty and its truth to nature. Mr. Bradwell, however, has introduced a new and magnificent dioramic effect—a summer steam. Gradually does the sky become gloomy—gradually does the moonbeam cease to play up n the rippling waters—the sky becomes obscure—the clOuds continue to gather—the summer storm bursts in a heavy shower of rain—the summer lightning flashes in the distance, and the roll of the thunder is heard. The storm is over, the clouds disperse, and again do the moonbeams play upon the waters. But this is not the only addition made to the night exhibition. A very sweet-toned finger organ has been erected in the Glyptotheca, on which an accomplished artist performs at intervals during the course of the evening. The effect produced by the tones of the organ as they are heard, softened by distance, in the more remote parts of the bullding, is beautiful exceedingly. The conservatories, which have hitherto been closed to the night visitors, are now thrown open ; they are illuminated by a countless number of coloured lamps, and look like the en chanted gardens of some palace of " Faerie." The Swiss Cottage too is represented as seen by moonlight, and the effect of the light on the cataract as it falls into the lake, and on the lake itself, is most perfect. So complete is the illusion pro duced by this beautiful dioramic effect, that it is really somewhat difficult for the spectator to persuade himself that what he beholds is not reality. Such are the additions made to the night exhibition at the Colosseum, and wl.i6 make it, in fact, almost entirely a new exhibition. A THIRD MAIL FROM NORWICH TO YARMOUTH.— On Monday last an additional bag for this town was made up at Norwich. The posts now leave Norwich at 7 a.m 4.80 p.m., and 10.45 p.m.—Bury Herald. AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY.—Last evening a lec ture on the application of chemistry to agricultural improvement was delivered at the Jews' Literary and Scientific Institution, Sus. sex-hail, Leadenhall.street, by W. Higgs, Esq., whose scientific labours in this regard has earned for him a more than ordinary degree of provincial fame. The audience was not so numerous as respectable, there being not more than 200 persons present, but these comprised many influential gentlemen who take a great in terest and leading part in this most interesting subject. The lec ture, which did not commence before half-past eight o'clock, occu pied nearly two hours, the experiments being of the most illustra tive and comprehensive character, and, at the conclusion, the ac. complished lecturer received the most flattering acknowledgment of his acquirements. WirTyoßD DOCK-YARD.—Upwards of 800 men are now employed in the dockyard at Deptford, and the whole of the works therein are proceeding with the utmost activity. In the slip numbered one at the east end of the yard, a fine vessel is in course of building ; she will be fitted as a steamer, at.d called the Sidon. Her planks are laid, and the whole of the work is in ac • live progress, so that she will be launched in the ensuing year. In the slip numbered four, where the Terrible was built, the Odin is in a forward state. This will be a first.class war steamer. 'The Termagant is building in the No. five slip, recently occupied by the Spitfire. A moat cemtnodious new slip has been built, the construction of which is exceedingly graceful. The Phaeton is now being laid down there, which will be the first steam.fiigate built under tllat erection. The remaining two slips, under the superintendence of Mr. Baker, of Lambeth, are rapidly approaching completion ; and it is expected that they will be fit for the pur poses of the service by the spring of 1846. THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.—The Society for the Protection of Triders from Fraud, of which the Lord Mayor Elect is the President, have signified their intention to accompany his . Lordship on the 10th of November. The Distillers' Company will form part of the procession in the morning, as well as the Spectacle. makers' Company, his Lordship belonging to both fraternities. The Distillers' Company will precede the Spectacle.makers'. A portion of the Hon. Artillery Company's band will attend this portion of the procession, which will exhibit twenty-one banners. The Master of the Spectacle-makers' Company for the present year is Sir George Carroll ; the Renter Warden, the Marquis of Down. hire, and the Upper Warden, Mr. Clarkson, the barrister. I -- 1845.

THAMES TUNNEL RAILWAY.—WC understand that the offer which we some time since mentioned as having been made to the Thames Tunnel Company for the purchase of that now profitless project, by paying about Ws. on the outlay, has been rejected, on the plea that a higher offer had been made by another party. Whether this higher offer was really bona fide or not, or merely conjured up to increase the price, we cannot tell; but if the latter, it certainly failed in its object, for the gentlemen to whom we alluded felt that they had already offered more than the fair value of the property, and accordingly they retired from the field.— Railway Record. EAST AND WEST CI:MI:EI:LAND JUNCTION.—A protest has been published in the local papers, signed by upwards of sixty landowners in the parishes of Dacre, Newbiggin, Blencowe, and other places on this projected line, setting forth that they will withhold their consent, and are entirely opposed to the line going through their respective lands and properties. This line is intended to commence at the station of Lancaster and Carlisle line at Penrith, and proceed to Keswick and Cockermouth, where it will form a junction with the Cocker mouth and Workington line, which terminates in:the White haven and Maryport. Systwrois OF IMPROVEMENT.—It is said that no scrip of any line will be dealt in " in the House," until the broker of the company has certified that the deposit has been fully paid into the banker's, to enable the prompters to go to Parliament in the next session for their Bill. No formal resolve has been yet come to by the Committee; but the above is so reasonable and proper a course to prevent swindling companies carrying on their nefarious tricks, that the sooner the resolution is adopted and acted on the better; it would prevent provisional committees keeping back shares until they are at a premium—at least, without having first incurred some risk by paying deposits on such shares as they may take for themselves.—The Shareholder. Mr. HUDSON, M.P.—Mr. Hudson, determined, apparently, on developing the goods traffic of the Eastern Counties, has issued orders for the immediate supply of 200 goods waggons. SHARE MARKET.—The market was looking very dull yes terday, but matters are expected to mend. This depression was no doubt owing in a great degree to the failure of Mr. Stallard on Monday for a large amount, some say 100,000/. It is expected, however, that he will pay 20s. in the pound. Messrs. Ashton and Scott, who failed last week for 40,0001, it is hoped:will presently make matters right. They were regarded as a highly respectable firm, and their failure has been much regretted. It is said it was owing to a firm in Bristol, who are in their books to the tune of 17,000/. Herapath's Journal. The Yorkshire Gazette states, that in consequence of the arrangement between the Manchester and Leeds Company and Mr. Hudson, " the Manchester Company withdraw from all connexion with the Leeds and York and East Riding schemes. They have handsomely offered to defray all expenses incurred by the promoters of these projects; but the offer has, we hear, been refused. It is thought by many that these parties would do well to reconsider what they have rejected, as their prospects of success cannot be very bright.' SHROPSHIRE UNION.—The London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction have united in taking the above under taking under their wings; or rather,- perhaps, that the Shropshire Union has succeeded in making arrangements with these Companies. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF RAILWAY DIRECTORS.—The 30th of November rapidly approaches, by which time the mist, which has for a considerable period hung over many projects, will be dispelled; when the chaff will be separated from the wheat, and the really sound undertakings distin guished from those having little more than an existence upon paper. From the present demand for railway engi neers, and the increased remuneration expected by them, the cost of preparing the necessary plans, books of refe rence, &c., cannot be estimated at a less cost than 200/, per mile, so that on or before the 30th November the actual ex penses incurred upon a line to cost 10,0001. per mile, would exceed, on a capital of 5/. per cent., 40 per cent, of the de pos • its It would, therefore, be very desirable that the Direc tors of railways would seriously consider before they deter mine to incur expenses where little chance exists of the ne cessary Parliamentary preliminaries being completed. TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY.—COMMENCEMENT OF TILE Wonas.—The works of the Trent Valley Railway will be commenced on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at Tamworth, with the usual ceremonies. The first sod will be turned on this occa sion by the Right lion. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P. The Directors and Shareholders of the line may well feel proud that the Prime Minister of the empire confirms the earnest ness of his parliamentary support of this line by officiating at the auspicious commencement of the works.—Roilway Record.. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—ANASPASIA IN TilE TREAT MENT OF CONSUMPTION.—The Dispensary for the treatment (by Anaspasia) of Consumption, Asthma, and other affections of the Chest, will be removed the end of this week to 14, Leicester-place, Leicester-square, where Dr. Cronin, physician to the Dispensary, has removed, from his late residence, 6, Craven-street, Strand. PAWNBROKERS SOCIETY.—The Committee of the above society, formed for the purpose of endeavouring to in duce the interference of the Legislature in relucing the pre sent hours of labour, nnd which, unlike other trades, are fixed by Act of Parliament, and consequently can only be remedied by the same source, are unremitting in their exertions to ob tain their object. FLANDERS - MAIL BRUSSELq, Nov. 3.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with a numerous suite, arrived at Ghent on the Ist of Nov. A letter in the Gazette of Mons says, "the society of Bois-du-Luc in its meeting, on the 20th of last month, passed a resolution to secure the workmen against the loss of the sums deposited in the savings' banks, which were entrusted to M. Brouet, banker at Favt, who has become bankrupt." A letter from Antwerp of the 2d says, this morning a cargo of 1,000 sacks of potatoes, of good quality and in excellent condition, arrived from Dundee ; ,a cargo of potatoes also arrived from Londonderry. The police have caused several cart-loads of potatoes from Ireland to be thrown into the river. The Congress of the Customs - Union, at Carlsruhe, is terminated; all the members haie left the city, and it is affirmed that nothing has been d o n e in f avour of German manufactures. The next Congress is to be held at Cassel, but it is affirmed that in the interval there will be an extraordinary - Congress at Berlin during the - winter. Some persons hope that protective measured wilt be adopted at this extraordinary meeting, but this hope is ill founded." What has distinguished the Congress which is just closed in a very remarkable manner from that which was held at / Stuttgard, three years ago, is the great indifference,or rather the complete despondency manifested by the manufacturers in refraining from addressing any petitions to the Congress, whereas three years ago it was overwhelmed with them. This scheme, observes the Augsburg Gazette, must have had a fearful signification in the eyes of the statesmen assem bled at Carlsruhe. They must have seen that the manufac turers do not expect any useful measure from the Govern ment, and were prepared to help themselves. The German Courier of Nuremb-rg announces that the new tariff of the Zoilverein, as determined in the Congress at Carlsruhe, is now before the several Governments for their ratification, and that it will probably be published before the middle of November.

Lieutenant H. ;Hanby Tylden (1836), late first lieutenant of the Lily, 18, sloop, has been appointed to recommission the Lizard, iron steam-vessel, at Woolwich. This -is the first of the six iron vessels built for dispatch-boats, and was commissioned at Woolwich about six months since ; but before she had taken on board the whole of her stores she was found to be so deeply immersed that she was put out of commission, and her officers and crew were turned over to the Spitfire. She is now to have the same complement, ar mament, and stores as the Locust, built in 1840, as it is con tended by the Navy Office that the . Lizard was d es i gne d t o carry no heavier weights, and that it is the fault of the Ad miralty that the Lizard swam so deeply, for they increased the armament and the complement of men. This, however, is not the fact. The Lizard is not of the same dimensions as the Locust. She and the other five are at least 20 feet longer, and the increased tonnage which the larger dimen sions gave may have naturally and judiciously determined the Admiralty to increase the complement, and make the steamers more effective. But even with this greater capacity, and with the same number of men, less stores, and three days' coals only, the new iron steam-vessels, the Jackall end Bloodhound, finished in 1845, are inferior in point of speed even to the old wooden vessels, and are no more fit to be em ployed as packets in the Mediterranean than a coach and four horses at the present day are eligible to carry the mails to Brighton. Why will the Admiralty allow the country to be served worse than private companies? The directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, or the directors of the General Steam Navigation Company, would not consider that they were doing their duty to the shareholders, if they accepted a halt dozen vessels from the builders in 1845, the speed of which was . not equel to vessels built in 1840, notwithstanding such great improvements have been annually made to increase the power and reduce the weight of marine engines. Private companies have vessels built for them every year that, exceed each other in stowage and speed in succession as they ar e brought out; but the Admiralty, at the greatest cost, have vessels built in 1845 that are not half a mile an hour faster than those built in 1840, and even if stored and stowed as they ought to be, they would be inferior to the old 10-gun brigs, converted- into steamers 20 years ago, and now em ployed as tugs. How long will the Admiralty suffer a subordinate department thus to waste the public money, and thus invite reflection on themselves, who have done so much for the navy and the country since their accession to office in August, 1841. DEATH OF THE DOWAGER BARONESS NAIRNE.-.. We have to record the demise of Caroline Baroness Nairne, wbo expired on Monday, the 27th ult., at her seat in Perthshire, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. The deceased Baroness was third daughter of Mr. Lawrence Oliphant, and married in June, 180 d, William, fifth Lord Nairne, by whom her Ladyship had an only son, William, the sixth Lord Nairne, on whose death, in 1837, the barony devolved on Margaret, Countess Flahault, married to his Vxcellericy Count Flahault, French Ambassador at the Coitri of Austria. ARUNDEL CASTLE.—The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk are receiving a select circle, this week, at the Castle. Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Nicholas Esterhazy, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lady Clementina Villiers, arrived on a visit to the Noble Duke and Duchess on Tuesday, from Brighton. The Duke Torlonia has left Alivart's Hotel for Rome, after a sojourn of several weeks in this country. According to the last census taken of the Austriln empire, its population, including the army, amounted to 38,000,000 of souls, being an increase within a period of 25 years of 21 per cent. THE LATH ACCIDENT AT YARMOUTH SUSPENSION.. BUDGE.—A question was recently raised as to the validity of the inquest on the bodies of the persons who were drowned by the tailing •f the suspension-bridge at Yarmouth. A notice of the grounds of objection appeared in this paper about three weeks since. The whole matter was referred, under the charter, to the adjourned quarter sessions, when the case was argued. It will contended, on the authority of the case " Queen v. West " (1 Gall and Davis, p. 451), that one inquisition would be sufficient where several persons were killed at the same time and by the same acd dent. Therefore, that the Coroner had no right to charge fee seventy.nine inquests. In the next place, it was contended that some inquests were net proper in form, as they did not set •ut tbi precise cause of death, whether by drowning or by the falling it the bridge; and in the next place, the inquests had been adjourned sine die. It had been held in Hawkins's Pleas of the Crown, that the adjournment must be to some particular day and place. No adjournment appeared on the face of the inquisition. Mr. Baron Alderson had laid it down in the Queen v. Connor," who was tried at the Central Critninsd Court for murder, that after an adjournment sine die, the Con, ner's jurisdiction ceased ; and lastly, that they were invalid, as tbs, jurors had not been sworn on view of the bodies. To the two last points the Coroner replied, that he could not fix a day, because he could not tell when the Governmetat engineer would arrive; and t h at the jurors were sworn at the church.hall and proeeeded to ♦iew th e bodies—that the form of the oath was, " You shall di& gently inquire touching the death of --, of whose body you Omit have a view." The Recorder said the form was incorrect. ILr. E va ns, a magistrate, said Use proper form was, You shall diii gently inquire and true presentment make touching the death at A. 8., here lying dead, The Recorder agreed, and on that ground and on the ground that the adjournment sine die was illegal, and that the jury ought to have been sworn whilst viewing the body. pronounced the inquests to have been illegally holden ; and, thews fore, that he could not allow costs. He, however, thought that an inquest theuld be held on each person. This important decides has been elicited in consequence of the heavy charges of the Coro. ner, who claimed If. 6s. Bd, for each inquest, besides fees to the jury and rewards for finding the bodies, Ac. The Town-Cound offered to pay whatever turn the Recorder thought fair. The Recorder suggested 50 guineas, exclusive of fees and rewards, This was agreed to. WORCESTER.—There was a good attendance of buyers at our fair on Monday, but a short supply of cows and sheep, considering the average of November fairs. Best beef sold readily at 6d. per lb.; in-call cows and fresh barrens sold at yell good prices. Mutton fetched from 61d. to 7d., with a ready sale. There was a short supply of pigs, but they sold at an exceedingly high figure. Prices were altogether much on the increase. Worcestershire Chronicle. GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE.—There seems to be no cash buyers In this market at present prices. Large !tamale are offering at 87s. 6d., but no buyers. We quote the price tor cash, 85s. net. Altogether, the market is quite inanimate.—Gless. gow :National. KILMARNOCK.—STATE OF TRADE.—Trade is now rather improving in the print.works, and is ex p ected g ra dually to get better. All kinds of labourers readily fi nd employment good wages ; fifteen shillings a-week is pa id them by some of U n i t employers.
