I T follo ws f rom the recent investigat i ons o f t h e British Association for the Advancement of Science, as rtportea in the Athenaeum of October 19, that the quantity of light furnished by one pound of PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES requires for its production four pounds of ordinary tallow ones; and, therefore, that the farmer, if at two shillings per lb., would be oaactly as economical as the latter at sixpence per lb. Now, PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES are not sold at two shillings per lb., but at or under One Shilling per lb. They may be had of respect a ble dealers throughout the king dom, if care be taken to provers awy imitations being passed off as the Patent Candles ; and the Trade may obtain them wholesale from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and t lamer and Co., Sutton.street, Clerkenwell. PALMER AND CO.'S DECIMAL PALM CANDLES (10 to the lb.) give the light of Three ordinary Tallow Candles , require no snuffing, and can be used in any Can dlestick. Sold by every Oilman, Grocer, &c., at 7jd. per lb. It will be seen by the following statement of Mr. J. Hawkins, at the late Meeting of the British Association, that these Candles ate by far t h e. cheapest light at present in use. " With regard to Palmer's' and the common Dip—when the latter was not snuffed o ftener than about every ten minutes, it took four to be equal to " of the former; and when unsnufled altogether, it required !lever, pounds to be equal to one pound of Palmer's.

The following Reviews of the Work have already appeared:— J Dec. 4, 1844. As far as utility is concerned no volume can exceed the claims of the Directory to universal patronage. Though it is of great bulk, it contains nothing that is superfluous, and is an exception to the general rule, that a great book is a great evil. This is the 49th ♦olume of the series. It contains several useful additions to its immediate predecessor, more particularly in that portion called the " Postal Directory," and, as compared with the first volume, published nearly half a century ago, it shows an immense increase of information, and may be considered as an index of the history of the vast increase of London, Westminster, and the suburbs. A work of this kind, combining the most extensive and at the same time the most accurate information of the residences, trades, pro fessions, &c., of 500,000 people, the names of hundreds of streets and squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so com prehensive as to direct the whole population where to find each other, and in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters, messengers, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated in a way commensurate to itsmerits by the public. It affords a check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful intelligence. In a word, the cost of this book can scarcely be better laid out than in its purchase. MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844. We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature and value of which must be well known to all our readers. A very cursory examination of it clearly shows that there has been a considerable increase in all its various contents or departments, and, as far as we have been able to test it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides all the departments which appeared in the former publications of this work, we find that in the present volume there are several new chapters. All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been dome—notwithstanding the greatly.increased size of the volume— without any additional charge; as the proprietors state that they rely upon an increased sale to compensate them for the additional outlay. We believe that this work, at the present time, has no corn. petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it has been prepared, and the high reputation which it so deservedly bears for accuracy, together with its cheapness, we do not think that a competitor would have any chance of success, or—contrary to the general rule—that the public would derive the slightest ad. vantage from any such competition. MORNING POST, Nov. 16, 1844. This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has made its appearance at an earlier period of the year than usual. Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have been so active that all the alterations usually introduced or expected have been effected. The " Parliamentary" and the " Official Directory" bear evidence that the latest changes have been noted. The large Map of London also, prefixed to the volume, has all the new streets and recent improvements carefully marked; and in the Railway Tables and "Conveyance Directory," the same attention to correct the work to the latest possible date is apparent. Every village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a post.office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of the London letters. No book of reference of the kind could be more complete. MoasiNa HERALD, Nov. 19, 1844. The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been issued. The usefulness of the ♦olume, as well as the immense labour that must have been expended in completing it, will be best judged of from a brief enumeration of its contents. The first portion of the work comprises a list of the hotels and convenient inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu pants and the population according to the census of 1841. This, which extends over seventeen pages of small but clear type, in treble columns, is succeeded by the " Official Directory," which commences with an alphabetical list of persons holding situa tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, and the various law, city, and all other public offices, and is followed by the division of the above into their proper departments, where the names of the offices are again given. This portion of the work is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fifty pages. Next comes a list of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis, with a direction to the post.office nearest to each thoroughfare. The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " Street Direc tory,'' and extends over nearly 500 pages. The " Commercial and Professional Directory" succeeds, occupying also nearly 500 pages ; then the " Trades Directory," of upwards of 450 pages ; the " Law Directory'' of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly 100 pages ; a statistical account of the metropolis ; the " City Di. rectory ;" the " Conveyance Directory" of some 120 pages ; the " Banking Directory" of 140 pages ; and the " Assurance Direc. tory" of some 40 pages. _ . . _ The typographical character of the volume Is as commendable as the fulness and faithfulness of the work itself. MORNINQ ADTERTISEI, Nov. 15, 1844. This work, which has now stood the test of public opinion for nearly half a century, has Just appeared. The edition for the pre sent year having been all sold, it became necessary to supply the void thus occasioned, and the result has been the production of the work at this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been carefully preserved. It is really wonderful how so vast a mass of matter can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have looked through the pages of the " Directory" with the view of testing its correctness, and we are bound to say, that in no one in. stance could we find even the slightest ground to Impugn its con summate fidelity. It supersedes all ether guides and GLoge, Nov. 16, 1844. The claims to public patronage of this most elaborate and well. arranged Directory have been so fully established, as to render any notice of it almost an act of supererogation. In addition to the extensive and varied information by which this work was already distinguished, we find in the volume for 1845, a considerable quan. tity of new and appropriate matter, arranged under various heads. All this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly increased size of the volume—without any additional charge. The yearly outlay of capital required to produce the work must be immense ; the reward of the enterprise and labour will, we trust, be in propor. Lion to it. HERUPATR'S RAILWAY AND COMMERCIAL AD TERTISER, Nov. 16, 1844. How such a mass of information was ever brought together, even in the 1,900 large pages of this volume, it is difficult to imagine, even though we take into account that to effect it, has tasked the ample resources of its owners for a series of years. The result, however, is that a commercial book of reference has been produced worthy of the commercial capital of the world. The high character of the Post Office Directory has given it a place in every house of real business; indeed, not to possess it is to be without information to which every man in the United Kingdom commercially employed rhould have ready acces. In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with Railways is full and recent. Within our Space enumeration of the •arious subjects cannot be attempted, nor can such be requisite. It can be only necessary of a work so universally known to sa•, that the number of the Post Office London Directory for 1845 is by far the best and most complete edition of the work which has ever been produced.. Higher praise it would be difficult to bestow. The Map with which the book is accompanied, entitled " Modern London and its Environs," is an entirely new one, and one of the best plans of the Metropolis we have yet seen. RAILWAY REGISTER, Dec. 1, 1844. There are few men of business who do not take in the " Post Offic.? Directory," ana to such, an ejeumeration of its contents is almost valueless ; but for those wrio do not, it may be as well to make some further remarks, and the more so, as it only needs an acquaintance with that work to be convinced of its intrinsic value and great utility. There are some offices where the expenditure for a new Directory is grudged on the ground that it is laying out money for what they do not want, and they grub on without a " Post Office Directory," or with only one of Pigot's or Robson's superannuated Directories. A sharp, acute man of business would, however, just as soon be persuaded to part with his inkstand as with his " Post Office Directory," for it not merely saves more than its cost in time, but it is a valuable instrument for carrying on business. As a means of ready reference it is valuable, as a man's name, residence, and occupation are , 00n found, and a re ference to an old Directory will show how long he has been en. gaged in such pursuits, and furnish prima -facial evidence &a to respectability. This is so well understood in proper quarters, that on such matters the " Post Office Directory" will be found quoted in the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Parlia mentary reports, and before the police and criminal courts. Does the limes, with ready sagacity, detect a swindling firm trying to prey on the community—the " Post Office Directory" is immediately appealed to, to show that the pseudo firm is not to be found enrolled in its columns. It would appear inexplicable that a nay register of this kind should be found playing such an important part in the com mercial community, if it were not well ascertained that its con ductors display the greatest energy and accuracy in car rying out their undertaking. The return of the circulation of country banks prefixed to the "Banking Directory" is the beat which has yet appeared, and the only tiigest of the Population Returns, applying to the metropolis, is the one in the " City Di-, rectory," which gives the population and income-tax of each parish in the metropolis, and a laborious analysis of the occupations of the population, deduced from the Census of 1841. Were this work more carefully looked to in country places, the swindling bill and other firms would find a little more difficulty in carrying out their nefarious pursuits. In conclusion, we say, When you want anything, always look in the Post Office Directory." ILLUSTI►TED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 23, 1844. Twenty years have made a strange alteration in the bulk of this almost indispensable Directory. Well do we remember the mean, spare volume of other days, with its long lines of large type, and its shabby sheepskin binding; in place of which we have here a ponderous large octavo volume, of come 1,900 pages, of two and three columns each, of small type, comprising " inter alia," direc tories, " Official," " Stieet," " Commercial," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," "Postal," " City," " Conveyance," " Bank ing"—thus combining the advantages of the old " Directory" with those of the " Court Guide"—the east with the west—and com prising all the information which the merchant or trader, or any other London resi.fent or visitor, can reasonably expect to find ; and by excellent classification and arrangement, any portion of this information may be found without difficulty. Among other addi tions, we perceive some important and interesting statistics of Lon don—as the area in acres, population, and assessment, and a state ment from the Occupations' Abstract of the Census of 1841. The " Directory" Is, in line, as complete as untiring industry and vi gilance can make it; for they have uniformly kept pace with the increase of the number and extent of our metropolitan and national establishments and interests.

The Chamber met on Monday to elect its fourth Vice- President and the four Secretaries. The ballot for the Vice-Presidency gave the following results : Number of voters Absolute tnaj.)rity M. de Bclleytne, the Ministerial candi date, obtained , ne M. Bidault, the, candidate of the Opposition 168 M. de Belle3rne having had one vote more than the required majority, was proclaimed the fourth Vice-Pre dent. This announcement appeared to produce a lively impression o❑ the assembly, and was evidently regarded as a check for the Cabinet. The Ministers retired im mediately after the scrutiny. The S.cretaries subsequently appointed were the same as last year. namely Messrs. Lacross, the Opposi tion candidate, who obtained 192 votes ; De l'EsOle, 189 ; Boissy d'Anglas, 188 r and Lascases, 176. The last three were Ministerialists. The second Opposition candidate, M. Ravin, had 162 votes. . . THE BISHOP OF NOEWICH AND PUSEYISM.—On Sunday afternoon week the Lord Bishop of Norwich preached a sermon at the parish church of St. George's at Colegate, Norwich, to an overfloe ing congregation, amongst whom were many of the Dissenters, in aid of a collection for the repairs of the fabric, the Dis senters having successfully resisted a compulsory rate. and the Church. people having at length consented to adopt the voluntary principle. His Lordship, after the afternoon service had been read by the officiating minis ter, ascended the pulpit, and preached a sermon upon Ephesians, chap. v., ver. 32 : "I speak concern leg Christ and the Church." In treating the subject his Lordship took a brief review of the Church from the Apostolic ace, noticing the gradual falling away of the Church of Rome till its general corruption at the time of the Reformation, acknowledging that the re mains of error were still to be found in the services and rubric of the Church; and hoping that another genera tion would not pass away before it should be purged of these Papistical remains. The deterioration of the clergy of the English Church in the eighteenth century, and the present improved state of the priesthood, were passed under a review, his Lordship taking special no tice of the Tractarian principles and their prevalence in some of the other dioceses in the kingdom, and openly renounced them as being a step backwards to Po pery. They were the hay, straw, and stubble of religion, and their introduction had a great ten dency to cause discord in the parishes where they were introduced. He rejoiced that with a few exceptions they had not been introduced into his own diocese ; and he assured his hearers they would have no countenance whatever from him. Their object, was to exalt the ! clergy. giving them all the power in the Church, and al most excluding the laity, and to destroy the principles I of free inquiry so nobly asserted at the period of the Re formation. With regard to church -rates, which had so long and so unhappily been a subject of division in this parish, he advisedly refused to enter on that question ; he would not rake now passed sy, upol disputue.asr and that dheart a betterburnings. He hoped these had spirit, a spirit of peace and union, would pervade all par ties in future. At the end of the service a collection wee made, which amounted to 181. 15s. 101—IpswichErpress. EXECUTION OF KENDREW AT YORK.—The mur derer, William Kendrew, underwent the extreme sen tence of the law on Saturday forenoon at York, in front of the caunty gaol, for the murder of Mr. Inchbald. The wretches) man mounted the scaffold with a very firm step. He was preternaturally pale, but beyond that be trayed no emi.tion or fear. It was observed, however, as the executioner was adjusting the rope a shivering spasm crossed his frame, while his chest heaved convul sively. After being suspended the usual time the body was cut. down, and taken within the gaol, where it will be buried in uceordance with his sentence. A young man was detected, almost at the foot of the scaffold, in the act of picking pockets. SMUGGLING OF LETTERS.—An extensive seizure of letters for the West Indies was made by the Custom ' house authorities on board the Trent, the last outward bound steamer for the West Indies. The letters were found concealed with newspapers and samples directed to the French Antilles. The practice of smuggling letters on board the mail steamers appears to exist to a ! great extent, notwithstanding the vigilance exercised by the Custom-house officers. There appear to be well organised schemes in France for collecting and smug gling letters into this country, and attempts are then made to eet, them to foreign parts, by means of a mail packet, without the payment of postage.—Hampshire Independent. EFFECT OF FULLER'S EARTH.—A man at Bath, who rents Fuller's earth pits, excavae s them, and sells the produce to the cloth manufacturers in the neigh b urhood, stated, a short time since, that, in excavating this earth, he had a good deal of the small at the mouth of the pit, which, (Wing it to he in his way, he distri buted it over the adjoining field, in which there was a young crop of barley and seeds, and that wherever it fell the crop was surprisingly flourishing.—Sherborne Journal. IREL AND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, DEC. 30.—The weekly meeting of the Asso ciation was lid! this day, at the Conciliation Hall. The chair was taken by Mr. O'Neill Daunt. The CHAIRMAN briefly add, essed the meeting, coil fining his observations to the threatened concordat be tween his Holiness the Pope and the English Govern ment, which he denounced in the moat emphatic terms, and declared his conviction that any rescript, having reference to such a subject, would be received by the Irish people as so much waste paper.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, and acknowledged the receipt of se veral remittances, Mr. S. O'BRIEN rose and moved the marked thanks of the Association to Messrs. Mackey and Molloy for their gratuitous exertions in conducting the recent re gistration of the city of Dublin, and likewise to the Learned Gentleman who attended the registration throughout the country generally, on the part of the Association. The Hon. Gentleman then went into some statistics for the purpose of showing that, at the last re gistry sessions the repealers had gained considerably en their spponents, and urged on the people the neces sity of further exertion. It was idle, he said, to ex pect that the Legislature would confer on them a better registration system than that at present existing, and they ought, therefore, to avail themselves of the means within their reach towards achieving the regeneration of their country. At the next election the people of Ire land would have to dispose of several seats in Parliament. The number of Members at present representing repeal principles was quite inadequate to the state of feeling which prevailed. He would call on those Members, who, although they were repeaters, yet remained pas sive, to come forward and give effective and practical aid in working that cause of which they were but the nominal supporter; or they would have to render an account to their constituents when the proper time should arrive. They should imitate the generous and disinterested exertions of Mr. Hutchinson. The alter native they had to propose to candidates at the next election would be—if repealers, a free and gratuitous return ; if anti-repealers, a strenuous opposition and all its accompanying expenses. The Hoe. Gentleman concluded by submitting his mot'on to the meeting. Mr. GR. TTAN, M.P., seconded the motion in a lengthened address, in the course of which he pronounced the intrigues at present being carried on between the Pope and the British Government as a base conspiracy against the Catholic as well as Protestant, and that the object of them was to poison the mind of his Holiness, and create, if possible, an enmity between him and the people of Ireland. The SECRETARY announced the receipt of 40/. from Melbourne, New South Wales, and read a communica tion which accompanied the remittance. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having given notice that Mr. °llea would, on the next day of meeting, take a review of the proceedings of the Association for the past year, announced the rent for the week, 1781. 16s. The meeting then adjourned. RIBBONISII IN SLIGO. The Sliyo Champion, after noticing the successful exertions of Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association to put down ribbunism in that district, laments that new attempts hare been made to revive the pernicious system, That journal continues— ... " We have been furnished with the pass-words for the present quarter, and we think it right to publish them ; first, to show the persons who are connected with the society that all their secrets are known ; and, secondly, to deter them from identifying ,themselves with a system which must end in their degradation and ruin. The following are the signs for the present quarter:— " Question: 'The days are on the decline?' "Answer: So are the enemies of Ireland.' "Question: Will Ireland get her rights?' "Answer: ' She cannot be denied.' " When two persons connected with the Ribbon So ciety dispute, without knowing each other, should a third person, belonging to the body, be present, he interferes, and says, ' Don't be unreasonable;' to which the answer is, I never was otherwise.' When parties are out at night, and want to recognise each other, one observes, 'The night appears cloudy;' and the reply is,' Yes, the clouds appear dulL' Now, should this paragraph ever meet the eve of a ribbonman, we ask him, must he not be mad to adhere to a system which is so well known? The Rev. Malachi Brenan, and his colleague, the Rev. Mr. Noon, are doing all they can to put down ribbonism in their parish." MURDER IN ROSCOMMON. The Roscommon Journal says:—" A most brutal and inhuman murder was perpetrated a few days since mid way between this town and Strokestown. The victim was a well conducted, industrious man of the name of Patrick Shiel, whose only offence was having advanced twopence per barrel in the price of corn in that locality, in which he trafficked, and di , posed of in Longford." MURDER IN KERRY. The Tralee Chronicle contains the following :—•' On the night of Saturday last, one of those barbarous crimes which are the fruit of intemperance, took place near O'Dorney. It appeared from the facts as detailed in evi dence upon the inquest, that a quarrel took place between two brothers, named Cornelius Murphy and John Murphy, while labouring under the effects of intoxica tion. John Murphy was urging his brother to go home, and on his refusing he struck him a blow on the head, on which Cornelius stabbed him with a penknife in differ ent parts of the body. John Murphy shortly after ex pired. The jury found a verdict of • Died of wounds inflicted by Cornelius Murphy,' who has not as yet been detected." " A MAN KILLED IN A FACTION FIGHT.—At Sneem fair on the 25th, a man named Sullivan, who it is said, commenced the affray, was killed by a person named Dwyre. The presence of the police restrained the belli gerents until the close of the day, when they availed themselves of the unlucky opportunity of coming into deadly contact with each other. Dwyre was arrested by the Sneem police that night, and immediately after an infuriated party of the friends of the deceased arrived at his house, and would have, in all probability, taken sum mary vengeance, were they not anticipated by the vigi lance of the police. The deceased, it appears, was a pledge-breaker." THE REGISTRIES. At the city of Waterford registry, on Friday, the fol. owing were admitted :—Liberals, 27 ; Conserva tives, 10.

This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly it has been brought out on such a comprehensive, oor. rect, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The " Postal Directory," which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruction as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world ; and the list of the princi pal places in England and Wales has been greatly enlarged. There is also a useful notice respecting the obliterating stamps used at the post-office, with the list of the towns and the respective figures prefixed, which shows at once the place where the letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country post-office mark of the town. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work se multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letter.press. This Directory is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. WICEILLY DIMPATCII, Nov. 17, 1844. The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the Messrs. Kelly, of Old Boswell-court, is now before us. This edi. tine for 1845, contains a vast increase of useful matter when com.. pared with former ones. One important department now added, is that which gives an official return of the .mount of the circula tion of notes by all private and joint.stock banks. Another divi. sion of the work affords the most minute description of the extent and population of London. The size of the volume is greatly in. creased, and it is now decidedly the best, most comprehensive, and most useful work of the kind over issued frost the press. Barramtra, Nov. 16,1844. . . This pyramid of the publishing world comes out this year with increased claims to public favour. But it is a pyramid only In its vastness, its substance, and the immense labour employed to pet it together. Instead of being the sepulchre of one man it is the hire of a living million, a •ast storehouse of facts, a library of commer. offal instruction, what for the year the Times newspaper is for the day--a publication that no other city of the world could or can produce. There is no item of information which can by possibility be supposed to be contained in a " London Directory" that is not to be found in this. The work is perfect and complete of its kind, and as such we recommend it to the notice of the commercial world, though, indeed, by this time its merits are so well known that it needs little recommendation of ours. SPECTATOR, Nev. IC 1844. Although this immense volume is now, we believe, literally un. rivalled, the absence of a competitor dose not seem to have relaxed exertion or to have stopped extension. On the contrary, the book has grown with the growth of London, and we have the most coal. piete exhibition of a great city that perhaps ever was made; in its three grand phases of " Street Directory,'' where you are ignorant of the name but know it when you see it—" Commercial," " Law," or " Of Directory," where, street unknown and name not re. membered, you may hunt out a man by his vocation—or in the re gular alphabetical list of persons it gives at a reference to an indi vidual whose name is present. " Court," ".Parliamentary," " Banking," " Conveyance," " Assurance," Postal," and other Directories for the distinct grades of society or important branches in the business of life, render the exhibition still more complete. A wonderful work is the " Post Office London Directory ;" and, so far as we have taken steps to test it, wonderfully correct. JOHN Bum., Nov. 23, 1844. • This " monster volume" is really a curiosity in its way, When we turn over its two thousand closely printed pages, and reflect upon the enormous mass of information which those pages contain —information prepared with a degree of accuracy which is quite marvellous, together with its complete and comprehensive character (for nothing is omitted which any person can posaibly wish to find), we do say that this " Post Office Directory" is a most extraor. dinary undertaking. As a proof of the vigilance which has been exercised in bringing down the matter to the latest possible period, Lord Western's name will not be found in the " Parliamentary Directory." Similar instances of attention might be adduced. As tests we have turned to several names of persons among our own acquaintance who have recently changed their residence, and in no one case have we found the change overlooked. This is conclusive proof of the general care that is bestowed to render the work ac. curate as well as voluminous; for it is fair to conclude that any one applying the test within his own range, would find the same vigi lance. In every point of view it is a work of vast utility, and in dispensable to all persons who hare any business to transact in THE NINTH EDITION.

ACCIDENT ON THE NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAlL war.—The course of this line has been suddenly inter rupted by the falling in of the tunnel between the Riding miil and Corbridge•stations. It appears the Com• pany were engaged in widening the tunnels in order to form a double line of railway, it having been originally made siugle in this part, and the props put in having been insufficient to support the superincumbent mass, it fell in suddenly ou Saturday last, only a few minutes after the passage of a train. Fortunately no lives were lost, but the injury done to the works is so great as com pletely to interrupt the traffic on the line. In conse• quence, the trains from Newcastle to Carlisle now stop at the Riding•mill-station, where the passengers are transferred to omnibuses, and luggage to waggons, in which they are conveyed by the turnpike-road to the Cor bridge-station, where they again get upon the line. Pas sengers and goods from Carlisle to Newcastle leave the line at Corbridge and join it again at Riding-mill. The accident, as a matter of course, is causing great incon venience to the railway .Company, and some time must elapse ere the line can be again opened throughout. GREAT SA SHAM FIRES.—On Saturday last, the prisoners Jeremiah Head and William Martin wore ex amined before the Rev. S. H. Alderson and J. H. Eleigham, Esq., charged with setting tire to three stacks belonging to Mr. Samuel Silverston, farmer, of that parish, on the night of the 14th of November last, and both prisoners were fully committed for trial to the next assizes.—lpswich Express. On Tuesday night an open boat, containing se7enty? nine tubs of spirits, I v ing ashore on the Maplin Saud, was seised by the officers of the Crouch fever etiut guard station, and conveyed to the Custem-house, Malden, by the Onyx revenue cruiser ; the smugglers, owing, it is supposed to their having missed their course in the fog, had abandoned their cargo, taking with them the oars, sails, .4c., of the boat.—.
