In answer to the charv, the pi is , ,ner t aid he delivered all the goods to the customers, and he nG vex. sold the six blocks to the female. The greengrocer positively swore that slte purchased them of the prisoner. Mr. ATECKETT asked the clerk whether the prisoner could get the fuel at any other place? He replied than ho could not, as they were the sole patentees. He, how ever, should be able to show that the prisoner stole tLe property if he was remanded. Mr. A'I3ECKETT remanded him till to-morrow. TOWER HAMLETS REGIS7'RATION. Yesterday, Mr. J. F. Macqueen, the barrister up pointed to revise the lists of voters for the Tower Ham lets, held a court for that purpose at the Court-house, in Wel'close-square. Mr. S. E. Moss, a wiee merchant, claimed to have his name inserted in the list of electors for the parish of Whitechapel, in respect of a house which he occupied at No. 8, Magdalene-row, Prescott street, Whitechapel. An important question affecting a great number of votes was raised in this case. The ob jection to the claimant was made at the instance of the collector of assessed taxes, who admitted that Mr. Moss was properly qualified, with the exception that he bad not paid the assessed taxes duo up to the sth of January last. The claimant submitted that under the recent Act, 11 and 12 Viet , c. 90, entitled "An Act to regu late the payment of rates and taxes by Parliamentary electors," he had done all that was requisite to entitle him to have his name placed on the list. He contended that the as sessed taxes were only payable half-yearly, in April and October, and that having paid those due in October, 1850, he bad paid all that was due up to the sth January last, and had therefore complied with the re qirements of the Act in that respect. The barrister, after considerable discussion, referring to the Acts bearing upon the point at issue, said it seemed to him to have been . the intention of the Legislature to confer on the collector a right to demand the rate quarterly. The claimant ought to have paid the rate due on the 25th December, and, having failed to do that, could not avail himself of the benefit of the clause in the Registration Act. He must therefore decide against the claimant. ANOTHER DEFIANCE OF THE ECCLE- SIASTICAL TITLES BILL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Birkenhead, which was rendered so conspicuous during the recent agitation against the Papal aggression by the riotous proceed ings of the Romanists, bids fair to signalise itself by a still further defiance of the law. Last week some excitement was created among the Protestant portion of the community by the appearance of a large placard upon the walls, bearing the following an nouncement : " ST. WERBURGH'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, BIRKENHEAD. " The annual sermon, in support of St. Werbargh's schools, will be preached on Sunday, Sept‘mber 14. Pontifical high mass will be celebrated at eleven o'clock, and the sermon preached by the Lard Bishop of Shrews bury. In the evening, vespers will be sung at half-past six o'clock, and the sermon preached by the Lord Bishop of Troy, after which there will be a solemn benediction." The result was, that yesterday morning a large congregation—many being attracted out of mere curiosity—assembled at St. Werburgh's. The church is one of very unpretending character, but it was evident that great preparaticns had been made for the occasion. The altar was decorated with flowers, and to the right there was a kind of canopy or throne intended for the reception of "the Lord Bishop of Shrewsbury." The service was principally conducted by three priests, in vestments of cloth of gold, who appeared to act as the chaplains to the bishop. " The Lord Bishop of Troy" did not make his appearance, and his absence was thus accounted for by Air. Brown, before the service commenced, who stated that " the Lord Bishop of Troy was called to the south, and consequently could not be present as announced in the printed placard ;" but his Lordship, " their own bishop, would address them in the evening as well as in the morning." The sermon preached by " the Lord Bishop" in the morning was a very plain discourse, entirely confined to the charitable object for which the ceremony was got up. The only no ticeable feature was that the greatest devotion was paid to the "sacred person" of the bishop, whose hands were repeatedly kissed during the ceremony by the officiating priests. On leaving the chapel many of the congregation, principally those of the poorer class, kneeled down and eagerly caught the garment of the " prelate," which they applied to their lips. QUAKER CRICKETERS. A match took place on Saturday last, between eight of the Kendal National School Cricket Club and sixteen of the Kendal Friends' School Cricket Club (including John Bartley, of the Kendal Cricket Club), when the Quakers proved victorious by five runs. The National School Club having won the toss, sent in their opponents in drab, who succeeded in scoring 36. The National School Club then went in, but their demure opponents were too many for them, and they only scored 17. The Friends again went in, and obtained a score of 33, making a total of 69 in both innings, leaving the National School to get 52 in their second innings. They, however, only scored 47, being beat by the broadbrims by five runs. THE JERSEY MURDERER.—The convict Fouquet has received a reprieve for one fortnight beyond the time fixed by thy . Royal Court for his execution, for the sole pur pose of inquiry into his case. The decision of the Home office has been communicated to him by Mr. Advocate Marett, and he received the intelligence with much apparent grati tude.—Jersey Sun. REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE CAPE.—The authorities have ordered her Majesty's screw-ship Vulcan, at Ports mouth, to have her repairs and fittings expedited as much as possible, as the ship is required to convey a regiment of Otto men to the Cape of Good Rope to reinforce Sir Barry Smith's army. SIR JOHN Ross's TRAVELLING EXPEDITION IN THE ARCTIO REGlONS.—Captain Phillips travelled thirty-one days ever Cornwallis's Island, but did not succeed in crossing it, but nevertheless the labour was very great, and Sir John Ross himself accompanied the travelling party for fourteen days in the spring of the year, exerting himself in a sur prising way. WRECK OF A STEADIER.—The Pozzo di Borgo steamer, of thirty horse-power, plying between Boniface and Ajaccio, has just been lost within 500 yards of the shore, in the Gulf de Valeno. There were on board five men, consti tuting the crew, and tour passengers ; two of whom were General Niel, inspector-general of engineers, and his aide de-camp. The vessel was steaming along, when she sud denly struck with so terrible a shock that her keel opened, and the water poured in with great rapidity. The boat would only hold about three or four persons, and the general proposed thatall on board should proceed in it to the shore in three trips. 'I he boat was then lowered, but the others, in place of waiting for their turn, rushed to the side and jumped in. The consequence was that the boat was upset, and the persons in it precipitated into the sea;. they all, how ever, regained the vessel. The proposal of the general was then acceded to, and the other persons on board insisted on his going ashore with his aide-de-camp in the that trip. These two gentlemen and two others reached the shore in safety, but just as the boat was returning the steamer went slowly down, and the other five men were obliged to endea vour to support themselves as well as they could until the boat returned. Four of the men were saved, the other, who was one of the crew, being drowned. The next day a diver was sent down to the wreck, and, curiously enough, one of the articles brought up was the general's writing case, containing all the papers connected with his tour of inspec tion. The passengers were able the next day to reach Ajaccio by the diligence which passed near the spot where they got ashore. THE ROYAL VISIT TO LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday a communication was sent in to the council from the com mittee of the Exchange news-room, suggesting the desir ability of making the area of the Exchange available on the day of the Queen's visit, by closing it in to all except the holders of tickets, of which 2,0_0 would be placed at the disposal of the council, reserving the remainder for the pro prietors, subscribers, and tenants of the building. It has been ascertained that this area would afford convenient see ing and standing room for 8,000 persons; and this is cer tainly the most available and best point from which the in habitants of Liverpool might testify their loyalty to their Sovereign without inconvenience to her Majesty. The Ex change buildings form three sides of a quadrangle and the Town-hall the fourth, so that the latter commands a view of the whole of the area. Her Majesty, who is to lunch at the Town-hall, would, it is suggested, doubtless avail her self of this opportunity to gratify the loyalty of her subjects by appearing at the window. COLLISION IN THE CLYDE.—Between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday forenoon, as the steamers Sove reign, Captain M'Aulay, and Laurel, Captain Langlands, the one on her outward trip to Greenock and Belensburgh, with between 200 and 310 passengers, and the other bound from Belfast to Glasgow, having also a considerable number of passengers en board, were passing that part of the river known by the appellation of the Long Dyke, they came into contact with each other on the starboard side. The steamer Sovereign, from the extreme violence of the shock, sustained c onsiderable damage on her wing and wheel, the Laurel being also much injured. Some excitement prevailed in both vessels, the passengers being temporarily alarmed at what some, no doubt, considered the critical situation in which they were placed. The passengers of the Sovereign, however, were immediately transferred to the Lady Kelburn which f ortuna tely happened to be passing at the time; while those on board the Laurel , a fter some little dela y , reached Glasgow in perfect safety, the steamer Emperor having followed close at hand until satisfied the Laurel was beyond all danger.— North British Mail. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— On Saturday Mr. Keeley met with an accident, which will render him incapable of performing for a few nights. In getting upon an omnibus his - foot slipped, and the iron step inflicted a painful injury upon his leg. THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.—Lieut.-General Sir John Burgoyne is making a most minute inspection of the state of the fortifications in the Channel Islands and the western coast of England. STEAMER FROM ST. THOMAS TO VENEZUELA.—It has for a long time been subject of complaint that the means of intercommunication between these ports should be of the most uncertain and unsatisfactory character. Inadequate as were the former methods of convevance—even the mails and Government dispatches for Venezuela having been compelled to remain at St. Thomas until a factitious op portunity of forwarding them presented itself—the mercan tile community will, we are sure, hail the establishment of a regular steamer to ply between the ports on this important station. An enterprise like this is deserving of all encou ragement; and we have, therefore, great pleasure in an nouncing that a fine new steamer, the Berta Ilarrassowitz, built in Baltimore, will shortly commence packet service be twixt St. Thomas, La Guayra, Puerto Cabello, and Curs era, carrying passengers, specie, general freight, and the mails, under a contract with the Venezuelan Government. The steamer will also touch at other intermediate ports when circumstances permit, and as the accommodation provided for passengers is of a first rate description, we have no doubt that the enterprising proprietors will find their public-spi rited undertaking as liberally patronised as it well deserves to in.—Europ ean 2'imes ( West Indian Edition). LONDON, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The first Lord of the Admiralty returned to his official residence, 'Whitehall, from his German tour, yesterday. Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 13., is expected to return to the Admiralty, from the Continent, next week. • TIIE SECOND NAVAL AIDE-DE-CAMP TO TEE QUEEN. Captain Christopher Wyvill (1832), the second of the new batch of naval aides-de-camp, is commodore of the second class, and commander-in-chief at the Cape. Sixty-eight eligible officers, many of them C B.'s, have been passed over. He has, however, served afloat twice as many years as his senior, Sir George Peden. His services are thus given in the " Naval Biography :"- " This officer entered the navy Oct. 2.5, 1805, as volunteer, on board the Tribune, 36. In the boats of the Thames, 32, assisted by those of the Pilot and Weazle sloops, he contributed, July 25, 1810, to the very gallant capture and destruction, under the bat teries of Atnantea, on the coast of Naples, and in face of a most spirited opposition, of a convoy of 31 ves sels, laden with provisions and stores for Murat's army at Scylla, together with seven large gun-boats and five armed scatnpavias. He was present at the cutting out too, Oct. 5 in the same year, by the boats of the Thames and Eclair sloop, of ten trans ports, collected near Agricola, in the Gulf of Salerno ; and on June 16, 1811, he witnessed the destruction by a detachment from the Thames and Cephalus, 18, of a similar number of armed feluccas on the beach near Cetraro. Besides sharing in a variety of other dashing services, we find him, March 31, 1813, employed iu the boats of the Volontaire, Undaunted, and Redwing, under Lieutenant Isaac Shaw, at the capture and de struction (with a loss to the British of one man killed and four severely wounded, and to the French of four killed, five wounded, and seventeen taken prisoners) of two strong batteries (mounting five 36-pounders and two 24's) and 18 sail of vessels at Morjean, near Mar seilles. For his conduct on that occasion he was strongly noticed in Captain Waldegrave's official letter. In May, 1813, he was nominated acting lieu tenant of the Kingfisher sloop, and on July 5 follow ing he was confirmed. He was paid off in November of the same year, and was subsequently appointed, in February and October, 1814, to the Leopard, 50, and Towley, 24, July 22, 1815, for three months to the Tigris, 36 ; in January, 1816, to the Pactolus, 46; Nov. 10, 1818, as senior to the Arab, 18; aed Nov. 14, 1821, to the Dover, 28, as flag-lieutenant to Sir John Poo Beresford at Leith. Attaining the rank of commander July 29, 1824, he was appointed in that capacity April 28, 1827, to the Camelion, 10, where he became, Oct. 31, 1828, and April 28, 1830, se cond captain of the Asia, 84, and Britannia, 120, flag ships of Sir Pulteney Malcolm. The Camelion formed part of a squadron under the orders of Sir Thomas Staines in an attack made upon a fort and several vessels in the possession of the pirates at Ca rabusa, Jan. 31, 1828. On the return home of the Britannia, Captain Wyvill was presented with a post commission dated Feb. 22, 1832. He commanded the Cleopatra, 26, and since May 7, 1849, has been serving in the Castor, 36. In 1827, while Captain Wyvill was on his passage in the Dartmouth, 42, to join the Camelion, the former ship narrowly escaped being burnt in consequence of some men having set fire to a cask of spirits which they had clandestinely opened. The catastrophe was, however, averted through the handsome conduct and exertions of Cap• tain Wyvill, who, with one of the gunner's mates, plugged the cask and slung it apparently in the midst of the flame. He is senior of 1832." APPOINTMENTS. Commander Arthur Al. G. Skinner (1828), inspect ing commander of the Coast Guard, has been ap pointed superintendent of the Holyhead packet sta tion, vice Fraser, whose term of service has expired. Chaplain—The Rev. John Marshall, M.A. (1828), to the living of Werk. Assistant-Surgeons—Henry J.

Pittman, chaplain of Chatham Dock yard, died on Sunday afternoon, at Weimer, near Deal, after a long illness, aged 60 years. PRIZE MONEY FOE THE HYDRA STEAM-VESSEL.— Messrs. Woodhead and Co. have given notice that the account sales of the proceeds arising from the capture of the slave vessel name unknown (supposed Imogene), by the Hydra, Commander Grey Skipwith, on the 15th of October, 1849, will be registered on or after the 26th instant. Tyne store-ship, Master-Commander Wellington, from Rio, with stores (some treasure) and invalids from the Brazil squadron, transferred her mails to the Oscar steamer off Fowey on Sunday, and pro ceeded to Spithead. Her intelligence from Rio has been anticipated. The fever was very prevalent on shore at her departure, and several cases had oc curred amongst the merchant shipping. The Tyne had to contend with easterly winds for 26 days. Vulcan iron troop-steamer, Master-Commander Penn, is ordered to be got ready for immediate service to convey troops to the Cape. She will receive three coats on her bottom of Mr. Buchan's composition for preserving the iron plates—the gentleman that has received such high testimonial from Captain Engle due, of the Peninsular Steam Mail-packet Company. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. — The Defence, 72, convict ship, sailed today for Woolwich, in charge of Mr. Roberts, master of the Blenheim steam guard-ship, and a party of riggers. The Echo steam-tug will tow her to the Downs, and bring back some of the effects of Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, the new Port-Admiral for this station. The Sprightly steam-tender, Acting Master Allen commanding, sailed this evening for Deptford with some of the effects of Admiral Sir Bladen Capel, The Fairy royal steam-yacht, with three of the infant members of the Royal Family and suite on board, came up from Osborne last evening, and steamed round the fleet in ordinary, after which they returned to Osborne. The Blazer steam-vessel has been removed from the steam basin to-day. She is to proceed to Dover on some special duty. The SeAlower cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Fletcher, sailed last night for the Channel Islands, to resume her duties in protecting the fisheries. The Vernon and Gloriana Indiamen sailed to-day for their respective destinations. The Hercules, 72, has been undocked_to•day, and placed alongside the jetty. The Margaretta Evans, New York packet-ship, outward bound, having above 300 emigrants on board, arrived at Spithsed this morning, to embark other passengers and receive stock. She sailed at one c'cl ock. A number of persons visited the America yacht'on Monday, many of whom were ladies. She has not quite completed her new crew; her American captain and all the American crew returned to New York by the last packet. She will now, we understand, un dergo some alteration preparatory to her sailing (with her new owner on board), about the Ist of October, for the Mediterranean. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—An inquest was held yes terday at the Jolly Gardener, Lambeth-walk, on the body of Mr. 11. Appleby, receiver-general for the Earl of Morning ton. It appeared that whilst the men in the employ of Messrs. Ainsinck and Matthews, brewers, Westminster, were engaged in taking casks into the cellar of a beer-shop in Lambeth-walk, a boy jumped on the back of one of the horses in the dray, which caused them to take fright and run away with the dray towards Doughty-sheet, when the deceased gentleman, who rushed forward to stop them, was knocked down, and the wheels of the dray passing over his body killed him. The boy by whom the accident was occasioned being considered too young to be responsible for his imprudence, the question arose as to the responsibility of the draymen, who bad left their horses to themselves after removing their bits and placing nose-bags round their necks. Several witnesses swore that the wheels of the dray were not scotched or chained, which would have prevented the acci dent. The draymen, on the contrary, swore they were scotched. The court having been cleared for the jury to consider their verdict, upon its being re-opened the Coroner addressed the draymen, and told them that the jury were of opinion they had net fastened the wheels of the dray, by which neglect they had rendered their employers liable to be called upon to provide for the support of the widow and children of the deceased. The verdict was "Accidental death." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER ORWELL.—On Saturday last the families of Sir Philip and Colonel Broke, of Nacton, were thrown into a painful state of excitement by the report that two of their servants had been drowned in the river Orwell. The following detail will supply the me lancholy facts of the case :--Joseph Hartley, a footman in the service of Sir Philip Broke, was the own er of a stone boat,ncoompathn) e- two him. A stepped da the captai n o f which had finished his w eek's work by mooring her off Pin Mill. Hartley made up his mind to go step into o le ati before unusually feu r f o r off to her, and invit e d th e f oo tman of Colonel Broke to ac off towards the v esse l. Th e t id e was runn ing very strong , and drifted them d own a li tt l e, w h en t h ey t ur ned the punt's 'clock in ail punt, head, and struck th e smac k stem on. Th e ma i n sheets were a th n e d peufltleerd oo banging down, and Hartley hastily rose from his seat and grasped an end. The sudden motion, however, shot the punt astern, when his compa • leaped ' companionfrom his place and hurriedly stepped forward, occasioning the boat to slip from under both of them, plunging them head foremost the water. into water. Up to the time at which we wri • te the bodies have not been found.—lpswich Express. FATAL OCCURRENCE ON A RAlLWAlro—.ollSatur day morning a shocking occurrence t oo k p l ace on t h e Leicester and Swannington Railway, at the point where the line passes the Foss-lane, a short distance from the Leicester station. A coal train passed over the body of a gent l eman na med Malin, formerly a resident of Hinckley, and com pletely severed his head from his body. It is supp ose d that it w as a deliberate act of suicide, the deceased having thrown himself cn the line so that the engine wheels might pass over his bead. WEDNESDAY C REX RN.E GARDENS. These delightful and most popular gardens, which have afforded throughout the present season an inex haustible variety end prefuilon of attractive amuse ments, were thronged on Monday evening to witness the deliit of Signora Pauline Violante, the most in trepid of rope dancers. We have seen some daring feats in rope-dancing and rope-walking betbre at these gardens, but never were we more gratified than by those of the Signora, who is only 19 years of age; she walked a rope 108 feet from the ground, and 308 feet long, a sylph-like creatore, and perfect thing of life, "grace in her steps," and elegance in her mo tians, fireworks playing below, above, and around her, and ell hearts palpi!ating but her own. To be rightly appreciated, Sigh:,.ra Pauline Violante must ha seen. The Deulins dear% a particular notice, as devisers of a very attractive ballet, in which are repre sented, with great effect, the four elements, Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, and in which Madlle. Theodore us Columbine, Ilerr Deulin as Harlequin, Mr. Seymour as Pierrot (his servant), and Mr. C-ardi ner the Dancing Tailor, distinguished thernuelves much. Signor Guireppe, the intrepid Spanish aero naut, took four co;npagnons du voyage in his balloon car, and having set them down at Hounslow powder mills, stetted for the gardens by the rail, and was hailed on his return as an intrepid young aeronaut ought to be. We should not omit to mention the untiring attention of Mr. Adams to all parties, and the order and good feeling which prevailed through out the entertainments—features deserving of no tice in connexion with so large an assembirge. The present enterprising director of Cremorne, Mr. T. B. Simpson, has, throughout this most remarkable year of 1851, gallantly sustained his part in " the Great Exhibition of All Nations," and the character for spirit and enterprise of his own, justly winning "golden opinions from all sorts of men." The merit and the multitude of the affiches he has put forward have amply fulfilled the most sanguine expectations of his friends and supporters. We cannot describe the details of the whole campaign; but some notion may be conceived of their extent when we state that the programme for the present week embraces the unri valled performances of Franconi and his troupe, con certs, the exhibition of the Bosjesmans, Cantelo's Incubator, a ballet pantomime of great excellence, balloon ascents, tableaux vivans by the Deulin family, panorama of Nineveh, the inimitable singing of Pell and co. Ethiopians, a double sighted youth of extraordinary powers, a female conjuror, and a number of other sights, which we really cannot remember. In addition to this pro lific list there are numerous fetes; presentation of the Siege of Gibraltar, upon the river Esplanade, is a vivid pourtrayal of one of the greatest events in the history of the British Navy. Such a programme we venture to think has never been sur passed. Its extent and variety adapt it to all tastes and all ages, and we can bear testimony to the care and faithfulness with which it is carried out. But, independently of spectacles, performances, and amusements, this favourite resort has its own natural merits. It is situate in a choice locality, which aristocracy might envy, yet within the easiest possi ble access from all parts of the metropolis. Its green swards, gently undulating here and there, and well kept walks, are surrounded on three sides by venera ble trees of majestic foliage, whilst on the fourth there is an extended river front. In such points as these Cremorne has neither rival nor equal ; and it is only just to add, that its management is worthy of so fair a place. IRELAND. ARRIVAL OF THE PREMIER IN DUBLIN. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—Last night the few loiterers on the pier at Kingstown, awaiting the arrival of the express mail from Holyhetid, were somewhat taken by surprise on recognising among the passengers who stepped on shore the well known person of the Queen's Prime Minister. His Lordship was accompanied by Lady Russell and faniily. The whole party proceesded to town by the half -past ten train. Of course this day the quidnuncs will Le at their wits' end to divine the cause of Lord John Russell': visit to the Irish metropolis. HARVEST PROSPECTS. There have been now close upon three weeks of uninterruptedly fine dry weather, and all fears and doubts respecting the fate of the harvest are fairly set at rest. The oat crop generally is reported to be one of le best, both us regards quantity and quality, that has been cut during the past quarter of a century. Wheat has turned out much better than was expected, and the potato crop, with theLexception of a decided failure in parts of Antrim and Down, far exceeds last year's return. The accounts from the south and west may be regarded as favourable, inasmuch as for se veral days back there has been scarcely a single allu sion to the state of the crop—a tolerably sure sign that there is nothing to complain of. A correspondent of the Evening Mail, who is stated to have opportu nities of observing the condition of the southern and western districts of Ireland to a considerable extent during the last week, thus sets forth the result of his inspection : "Galway, Sept. 13. " There has been splendid harvest weather where ever I have been during this week, and, speaking generally, I may say the crops are safe in the greater part of the counties of Cork and Limerick, and along the coast from the latter city to this town. The oats are universally good, and a good crop, as are also the turnips. Potatoes also, as far as I could see or learn, are but little injured. Their tops generally look better than they do in the eastern counties, although they are somewhat prematurely withered. The only district in which I heard complaints was about Ennistymon, and even there they were neither loud nor deep. The potatoes I have seen at table have been, generally, re markably good. A good deal of change is observable in one respect, which would not strike a stranger so much as a person who was familiar with the appear ance of the south and west of Ireland a few years since. I allude to the almost total disappearance of the potato gardens ;' there are large fields, but no cot tiers' patches to be seen, and, indeed, much fewer cottiers' cabins; but where these latter are visible their gardens are usually stocked with cabbages, turnips, or parsnips, or even beans, but no potatoes. A great improvement in the appearance and mode of culture of the fields is also manifest, although much still re mains to be done i❑ that direction. About this town there are marked signs of revivification, although it is impossible to look at the great capabilities of its locality without feeling deep regret at their neglect, and still more at the irregular and ill-directed attempts in course of being made for their development. I crossed the noble bay yesterday, but, with the excep • tion of a few Connemara turf boats and the revenue cruiser, not a sail was to be seen. Lord Campbell has become the proprietor of the estate of the late Master A. 11. Lynch, near this town. His Lordship was a large incumbrancer on the property." DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. Yesterday evening a fire of a most destructive character broke out in the storehouses of Messrs. Hay, Anderson, are/ Sangster, nursery and seedsmen of Kennington, and owing to the inflammable nature of the buildings and their contents, in less than forty minutes after the eiscovery of the fire, nearly the whole range of building s , together with their con tents, amountin g t o several tbousund pounds in value, were utterly destroyed. The storehouses in Tr stion were situate in the centre of the nursery ground lying in the open space between Brook-street, and Walcot square, and Kennington-lane; they were of con siderable extent and were constructed entirely of wood. Closely adjoining them was a lower range of building, also used for storing seeds, agricultural im plements, end the more valuable plants. Besides these were a range of stables and a piggery, and a number of hotbeds. About ten o'clock an alarm of fire was raised by some persons passing down Ken nington-lane, and it was discovered that flames were pouring out from the eastern end of one of the large buildings. So rapid was the spread of the flames that before any efficient assistance could be rendered the whole was enveloped in fire, the flames rising to a great height and rolling in huge volumes towards the se cond warehouse. The appearance they presented was so alarming that messengers were immediately sent in csn s to the different fire stations. Long before they reached, however, the fire had been seen, and the messenprs were met by those whom they went to seek. On the arrival of the engines near the spot some time was lost in consequence of the firemen not knowing the en trance to the grounds, and their approach by any other road was rendered impossible by the numerous fences which divide the adjacent fields. During this time the fire rapidly spread, the second warehouse was speedily ignited from end to end, and the flames rushing out with 'a tremendous noise ignited the western end of the smaller range of buildings. To add to the terror of the scene the agonised cries of a number of pigs who were unable to escape were heard above the roar and crackling of the fire. These cries soon ceased, and the poor animals were speedily out of their misery. The engines at length were introduced into the grounds, but the efforts of the firemen were of no avail; a soli tary shed at the eastern end of the smaller warehouses was alone saved, and even this, with its contents, was so much: damaged as to be of little consequence. After burning for about twenty minutes with in credible fury the warehouses fell one by one with a fearful crash, leaving only a confused pile of blazing timber upon the ground. Upon these the jets of water were at once directed, and a few minutes suf ficed to extinguish them totally. In the confusion and alarm which prevailed it was impossible to obtain an accurate estimate of the damage done; it is to be feared, however, that it is very great, as not only were many beds of very choice plants scorch e d i n t h e hot ' bads near, but those which were removed were very filuch damaged. Aconsiderable quantity o f g l as s was also destroyed. lt is not known whether the firm are insured, but it is believed they are. Much credit is EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, lB5l. due to the police for the performance of their some what difficult task of preserving order in a scene of so much excitement. SPORTIN G 1V °TES.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES. MONDAY NIGHT, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The three special trains this afternoon from London brought a large accession of visitors, and ladgiings have gone off rapidly, and at a higher price than have been obtained for some !years ; we have also to report addi tions to the quadrupedal arrivals, viz., Teddiugton, The Ban, Aphrodite, Vatican, The Confessor, Clincher, The Castle, Brennns, Miss Ann, and Clarissa ; a great number of thorough-bred horses have come in for sale. The Subscription Betting-room has been crowded for some hours, but the business transacted has not been by any means extensive. The principal speculations have been on Homebrewed for the Champagne and Aprodite for the St. Leger, the outlay on the latter having the effect of sending The Ban to 13 to 3, layers.

(From tho Manchestei Guardian of this day.) MA:CODESERR, TUESDAY.— Although the orders for yarns from the coutinent of Europe continue indivi dually small, and comparatively limited in their ag gregate amount, the merchants experience as much difficulty ao ever i n pl ac i ng them for delivery within a reasonable time; and the consequence is, that while but very little business is done, or can be done, that little has to encounter a hardening ten dency in prices. This statement refers particularly to 20's and 30's water in the bundle, while, in the lower counts of reeled water, and in 20's reeled mule, as wail as in 28's warps, prices are firmly sus tained. As regards warps of lower numbers, down to 16's, which, under a combined home and foreign demand of great extent, have attained to relatively high prices, it has been found to-day, more distinctly than it was last week, that the buyers are less disposed than they were a short time back to give cut orders ; and this has led to a con cession of id. per lb. by such spinners as are ap proaching the end of their contracts, though the most part are too well situated, in this respect, to give way at all. The same remark applies to the corre sponding counts of pin-cop weft. The finer yarns, adapted to the Russian market, are scarcely firm in price. In qualities suitable for India, there is hardly anything going on for that quarter ; but, as they ap pear to be elsewhere NI an:: d in some degree, and as the production is to some extent lessened, no alteration has taken place in price. In goods there has been a general want of animation, and the operations have been only of moderate extent on the whole ; but prices have shown much steadiness, though in some articles, as for instance, Indian fabrics, there may be a slight further bias against the producers. Altogether, the market for yarns and goods is quiet, and, though steady, pervaded by a spirit of caution. There has been much complaining to-day, and certainly not without reason, of the decision of the American chamber at Liverpool, to limit to three months, in stead of twelve as heretofore, the responsibility of merchants and shippers on the other side on account of deficiency of weight, or anything rendering cotton unmerchantable. ROCIIDALE, MoNDAY.--There is no amendment in the flannel market this week, and goods continue heavy of sale. Last September it was difficult to ob tain goods to meet the demand. There is no change in the wool market, ana the manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The languor which has of late pervaded the worsted trade has experienced no diminution ; and with the exception of a few fancy goods of low quality, scarcely anything has changed hands to-day, in our Piece Hall. We cannot report any improvement in the demand for yarn, and the prices continue below the cost of production. The wool market is quiet, without any change in the quotations. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.-13usiness still conti nues quiet. There has been no material improvement in the character of the market since our last week's report. The buyers attending the Cloth-hall to-day have been few, and their purchases small. A few of the larger shipping houses have been pretty busy during the week with continental orders, though the shippers generally are not busy. A few orders have been received in the warehouses for goods of heavy make, suitable for the coming season. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market at the halls to-day has been quiet, and the woollen trade is dull for the season of the year. Winter goods met a fair sale ; but there is little doing in other descriptions of cloth. HEAL7HOF LONDON DURILVG THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) London is as healthy as is usual at this season of the year. 1,026 deaths ere registered in the week. The average number of deaths in the corresponding week of the ten years 1841-50 was 1,104 ; or 1,000 if we correct for increase of population and exclude 2,865 deaths in the second week of September, 1849, when the cholera was epidemic.

These yards abut upon the ground of a house in Acre-place; the back of the privies alluded to forms a portion of the garden wall, and the stench from the cesspools is so great that the family living in Acre-place are suffering from fever and other disorders, which their medical attendant asserts arise from the nuisance complained of.

ASCENT OF BEN WYVIS Soon after emerging from this truly wonderful spot, we crossed the river by a wooden bridge, and, passing some cottages, directed our steps to the summit of lien Wyvis. This we bad occasionally seen from on board the steamer soon after passing Fort George, and, to our mortification, found it covered with newly fallen snow. Showers of snow fell all day on the mountain, visiting us in rain, so that we could only get glimpses of the top. These lucid intervals, how ever, we made the most of; as, the mountain being a huge shapeless mass, without taking accurate obser vetions, we might never have reached the real summit. Upon asking a shepherd the best mode of ascent, he told us we could not reach the " Monument," as he termed the Cairn, that day, end that we were sure to be benighted. This put us to our mettle, and we never stopped a moment for three or four hours hard walking over hills, and through bogs, often knee deep in heather and peat moss alternately, till we came to the bottom of the last ascent, which was fearfully rugged, and the upper part covered with snow. Several miles above the fore-mentioned bridge the river is divided into two; the main branch emerging from Loch Glass, about eight miles in circumference, and the other descending by cataracts, through frightful ravines, from the summit of Ben Wyvis. We kept pretty close to the latter, which we crossed close to the steep ascent above alluded to. It was now half-past four, and before we got to the top it must have been at least six ; but we were actually afraid to look at our watches, as there was now a cer tainty of our being benighted. The snow fell fast, and lay several inches deep, pretty hard frozen, among which, in many places we had to struggle with bands as well 83 feet. The difficulty now was to find the "Monument," for we could not see above fifty or sixty yards in any direction. We agreed to separate, that we might have three chances instead of one, but not farther than that we could hear a loud call. After a considerable time our young friend proved the lucky man, and shouted with him of antiquity, " I have found it ! " This was indeed a joyful sound, though it may readily be conceived how much we were disappointed when, instead of one of the most commanding views in Scotland, extending over great part of the Atlantic and German Oceans, with many of the Hebrides, the Counties of Caithness, Suther land, Ross, Crornarty, Argyle, Inverness, Nairn, Moray, Banff, Aberdeen, and Perth, we could only distinctly see each other at the distance of a few yards ! Such, however, has since been the fate even of royalty herself on Lochnegar, so that we have the less reason to complain. Oar triumph even in these circumstances was reat on reaching the Cairn, which I ascended, and heightened by an additional stone, using snow instead of mortar. This mountain is nearly 4,000 feet his h, and has, perhaps, a larger base than any other mom_ tain in Great Britain. Being the most elevated ground north of Ben Nevis and the Braemar moun tains, the view is very little intercepted in any direc tion. It is, however, an ugly, savage-looking con cern; and, being ter removed from any inhabited district, none should attempt its ascent who have not an entire day at their disposal— " mons/rant horrendum ingens," and on this occasion it :nay be added, "cui lumen ademptunt." I may here mention that the best starting place is Strathpeffer, which is ten miles from the top, while Dingwall is twelve. The mountain resembles a horse-shoe—the upper ridge being thee or four miles from one ex tremity to the other, but rising very gradually from the end nearest Strathpeffer, which ought to be ascended first, and the ridge kept till the other end is reached, on which stands the Cairn, and by which we ascended. In descending, we chose a less dangerous route, though frequently checked by ugly precipices, which, owing to failing snow and approaching night, it was not easy to avoid. Great though our difficulties had been, they were surpassed by what still lay before us, having to struggle through five or Fix miles of the worst description of bogs and quagmires, which few think of crossing, even in broad day, without a guide. Countless were the tumbles we met with, some of them so - ludicrou, that had we not dreaded falling asleep, and 13 ing among these horrid morasses all night, at the imminent risk of our lives, we could not have refrained from laughing heartily at each other and ourselves. Forward, however, we had to toil, far from knowing where we should emerge. Indeed, had it not been for the moon, it is more than probable that we must have wandered about in all directions, till we became completely exhausted with hunger and fatigue. At length we reached a peat road, by following out which we arrived at a Flepherd'i! cottage. Th e inmates were all in bed ; but, on hearing of our disas trous c ircumstances, they were, with some difficulty, induced to get up and bring us some i thin milk. We were here informed t hat Dingwall was tem nearest place o f acc ommodation. We had still between three and four miles to go, but had now a hard road under foot, and went on our way rejoicing. We soon reached the toll road between Dingwall and Strathpeffer, and in half an hour found ourselves sn ug l y seated i n t h e Caledonian Hotel, with every luxury at our command. It was now half-past ten ; and, when we sat down to supper, we had eaten no food of any description for fourteen hours and a half, though we had walked at least 33 miles, over some of the wildest moors in Scotland. .The innkeep er to ld us t h at gent l emen thought it a nerd day's work from his house, and that they never tried it without a guide."—Grierson's Autumnal Rambles among the Scottish Mountains.
