A procession of the authorities and people of the town was formed for the purpose of receiving her Majesty and the Prince, and accompanying them through the town. The procession formed at the Town-hell at one o'clock. It consisted of a detachment of yeomanry, commanded by Colonel Barnard, followed by a number of the borough police, and a band playing the national anthem. Immediately after came a body of the gentry and clergy of the county. They were followed by a body of the inhabitants of Buckingham, the corporate officers, the Members for the Borough, the members of the Town Cstuncil, the Aldermen, the Borough Magistrates and the Clerk of th e P eace , t h e T own C lerk, th Mayor, and the Chaplain. These preceded the Royal cortege, which was followed by a procession of the trades of the town and different societies. In the Market-place the ceremony of delivering up the corporate insignia of the town was performed. The Mayor, Mr. Henry Smith, advanced to the carriage in which her Majesty and the Prince were, and tendered to the Queen the mace on a cushion. _ _ -elemmaa•MlClElMl.ryp.....ll•o3lM the undisguised and avowed object of destroying the liberties of our Church, your Grace for many years stood the first in the foremost rank of danger in the defence of those liberties ; and now, while we are being trampled down by another des potism, which threatens to annihilate all freedom of opinion and action—and while we are doomed to feel that, if we dare to utter our conscientious opinions, we must expect to be over whelmed with a torrent of slander and clamour—and while we hear the right which the Holy Ghost has conferred upon your Grace of teaching your own flock denied publicly, and in the most insulting manner, by some of that flock, and your people induced to despise your Grace's teaching, and to receive the teaching of men, some of whom are nut Catholics—when we see the people publicly, and, as we know, still more privately, taught to distrust the integrity of the Holy See, and to im bibe doctrines regarding the authority of the Pope, which are plainly at variance with Catholic faith;—when we see all this, and behold your Grace exhibiting the same apostolic courage in opposition to the tyranny which enslaves us now, which you exhibited against the tyranny that threatened to enslave us in former times, we return our fervent thanks to the Giver of all good things, who has preserved your Grace to these days for the defence of the Church's true freedom. " We, therefore, my Lord, receive your pastoral instruc tions, not only with unfeigned submission, but with joy; and we rejoice inure than we can express, that an opportunity is thus presented to us of offering to your Grace the consolation, such as it is, of this testimony of our filial love for your Grace personally, of our undiminished reverence and obedience to your Grace's authority, and of our increased confidence in your Grace's wisdom and zeal. " As the disciple whom Jesus loved used in his old days to address his flock in the language of charity—' My * little children, love one another'—so has your Grace, now so venerable from your years and your merits, b equea th e d to us the same divine 'lesson of fraternal love. It shall be our constant study to adopt this heavenly maxim in our own conduct, and to communicate the influence thereof, as well by example as by words, to those to whom we minister. We do not hope to see the spirit of discord which now pre vails speedily and completely laid ; for we know that the Devil, the world, and the flesh, shall continue to exercise their influence more or less. But we are happy to be able to inform your Grace that your words have already pro- duced much good fruit, and, notwithstanding the strong efforts of deceitful and evil-minded men, are still producing good fruit. " For the rest, my Lord, you do no t requ i re our encourage ment or approval. Your strength is from on high, whence your authority is derived. Ecclesiastical history abounds in examples of holy bishops who had to encounter, in de fence of the liberty of the Church, far more grievous per secution than your Grace has been yet subjected to. God alone knows what sufferings are yet in store for you; but sure we are, that as, like St. Paul, you ' know not the things which shall befal you,' so you can manfully declare with the same Apostle—' 1 fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may con summate my course and the ministry of the word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.'—Acts xx. 22-24. " Alas ! how daring is the spirit of disobedience. It is no longer content with assailing the venerable successor of St. Lawrence ; it is no longer satisfied with appealing to the passions of the most ignorant and excitable portion of the people to overawe the canonical authority of the bishop in his own diocese, but it is now openly endeavouring to engen der a feeling of disaffection even towards the common father of the faithful, Gregory XVI., and to diminish the love end reverence of the Irish Catholics for the Apostolic .wee—the centre of Catholic unity, to which they have clung with desperate fidelity for 1,400 years. It is in this way the crafty spirit of impiety always commences its attack on religion. It first alienates their affections from the clergy, and then robs them of their faith. The assault upon the successor of St. Peter, and visible head of the Church, is commenced in the same manner, and conveyed through the same channels as that which has been directed against your Grace. But whether or not the councils of the wicked shall continue to prevail, and the shafts of slander continue to be directed against you, we at least shall cling closely to you, and through you, as the connecting link, to the centre of Catholic unity. You are our bishop—we are your clergy. You will cling to the " Successor of Peter and Damascus ;" and we will cling to you. You are our pastor; your voice we shall always lovingly hear. You are our good father, from whom we have never experienced a harsh word, or harsh exercise of authority. We are your children, and shall not leave your grey hairs, and your aged and anointed head, to be buffetted and spit upon. In the day of your suffering we shall suffer with you • and, as the blessed Law rence desired to follow hi s venerable Bishop, Xystus, to mar tyrdom, so, if even that trial should conic upon you, we desire to share it with you.

Kilcullen.' CHARITABLE BEQUESTS ACT. The following resolutions have been adopted by fifty eight of the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese of Cork. The Cork Examiner says that this comprises all the rural clergy of the diocese, with two exceptions, and that separate resolutions are to be adopted by the clergy of that city : " That we deplore the interference, in any manner, of the Legislature or Government in the concerns or discip line of the Roman Catholic religion in this country. " That in an especial manner we protest against the Charitable Bequests' Bill, as containing clauses irrecon cilable with the usages and discipline of the Catholic Church, highly offensive to the Catholic clergy of Ire land in general, and particularly injurious to those of the religious orders, as also unwisely and unnecessarily tending to frustrate the benevolent intentions of the faith ful, and to deprive them of that right in the disposal of property, to which they are justly and constitutionally entitled." FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE PIICENIX PARK. Mr. Davis, one of the county coroners, has received the following letter, in reply to a communication trans mitted by that gentleman to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, together with the finding of the Coroner's inquest in the case of the children who were drowned at Knockmaroon-hill on Saturday se'nnight : " Office of Woods, &c., Jan. 11,1845.

The Mayor said—" May it please your Majesty to ac cept this mace, which I, as Mayor of this ancient and loyal borough, humbly present in dutiful submission to your Majesty's royal prerogative and authority." To this the Queen replied, returning the mace, " Mr. Mayor, I beg you will 'keep it. I am much gratified with my reception in this borough." The cheers of the people, who filled the Market-place in masses, were deafening. The entrance-gate of the avenue leading to Stowe called the Long-drive, which is more than a mile and a half in length was passed through by the royal party immediately after leaving the last arch erected by the people of Buckingham. Here the Members (including Sir Thomas Fremantle), the clergy, and other authori ties, were drawn up on either side. There were also parties of ,the yeomanry and a band. At a short dis tance further, where there is a rise in the groundoiou gain from an eminence the first view of the magnificent man sion now honoured by her Majesty's presence. In a few iminutes the royal cortege entered the avenue which leads to the north front of the house, between two pavilions of great size ornamented with sculpture. At this point a new feature presented itself. A vast body of horsemen, tenants of the Duke, were ranged on each side of the way, their hats ornamented with green bands, on which were inscribed the words " God save the Queen." These horsemen closed in after the proces sion, and followed in a thick column up to the house. This junction of the tenantry had a very imposing sight. At the north, or chief entrance to the mansion, the Duke of Buckingham was waiting to receive her Ma jesty, which he did by advancing to the carriage door when her Majesty drove up. The Duchess was on the steps, where a temporary canopy had been projected from the portico, to protect her Majesty as she alighted. The semi-circular court-yard, which is before the north front of the mansion, was one vast mass of persons, chiefly horsemen. Extending from the one side to tha other of the semicircle was a line of labourers in white smockfrocks. There were also some of the yeomanry, and a band playing the national anthem. The cheers of the people, as her Majesty alighted, were deafening. Her Majesty and the Prince, after having been re ceived by their noble ho s t an d hostess, were conducted through the hall, which is of noble proportions, and filled with valuable pictures, bronzes, aitorelievos, and marbles into the saloon, from which they passed to the left wing of the mansion, in which are situated the rooms appropriated to the private use of the royal visitors. These apart ments are fitted up in a style of lavish magnificence. Most of those who have visited Stowe will remember the "Rembrandt" room, the walls of which are covered with some of the finest works of that painter. This is her Majesty's bed-room. Th e drawing-rooms and other apartments appropriated to the use of the royal visitors, as distinguished from the state-rooms, are furnished in the most rich and exquisite style. It is understood that her Majesty's visit will be com paratively private. The number of guests in the house, exclusive of the family of the noble host, will not exceed twenty-four or twenty-five. The dinner party this evening consists, besides her Majesty and the Prince, of th e D uc h ess of Buckiugham, the Duke of Buckingham, Lord and Lady Delawarr, Lord and Lady Jersey, the Marchioness of Douro, Lord Nugent, Lord and Lady Orkney, L a dy P ee l, Sir R.

DUBLIN, JAN. 14.—The following " Address of the undersigned clergy to his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Murray" appears in the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon. Following the publication of the receipt of the Propaganda, this address will produce a considerable sensation. It is signed by fifty-five clergymen of the diocese of Dublin, and it remains open for further signa tures : " My Lord Archbishop, may it please your Grace,—We, the undersigned clergy, officiating in the diocese of Dublin, approach your Grace with feelings of profound veneration, rejoicing that the appearance of your recent pastoral, ad dressed to us all, affords us the opportunity of thus publicly and solemnly testifying the deep-felt sentiments of obedience, veneration, and love which we have always borne, and now more than ever bear, towards your Grace. " You are, my Lord, under the vicar of Jesus Christ, the pastor of us all. To you we have all, on the awful day of our ordination, and kneeling before the altar of the living God, promised OBEDIENCE and ) u From the obligations which we then contracted no power on earth but that of the Sovereign I'ontiff can exempt us; and, with the assistance of Divine grace, no other power, nor any other powers together, shall ever be able to diminish in the smallest degree, much less to extinguish, the feelings of obedience and reverence which, as well from inclination as from a sense of duty, we entertain towards you—our beloved father, our venerable bishop. "A day of trouble has come upon us, and the spirit evil, which is always lying in wait to destroy, has assaulted with unwonted fury the Church of God which is in this diocese. The most unfounded and horrifying calumnies have been cir culated among the people, as well against your Grace as against some of your Grace's clergy. Attempts have been made in many ways, both covertly and openly, to sow bitter dissension among the faithful, and to alienate their affec tions and their confidence from their lawful pastors, from the clergy who are appointed to instruct them, to feed them with the blood of Christ, and to watch over them, as having to render an account of their souls. Attempts have been made to overawe us into the adoption of particular opinions, and a particular line of conduct—to overawe us by popular clamour, and by a dread of encountering what, it is well understood, we would of all things, next after the violation of our duty towards our bishop and the Church, be most anxious to avoid—the indignation, the odium, the distrust of our beloved people—of our people in whose hearts we have hitherto lived, for whose salvation we have so often risked our lives at the bed of pestilence, and for whom, whatever may betide, we shall rejoice to risk our lives a thousand and a thou sand times again. What is particularly afflicting is, that the faithful have allowed themselves to be thus led astray by men, some of whom are not even in name members of the Catholic Church. These things have not made us despond; for we know that such trials, and far more grievous trials, have been the portion not only of particular churches, but of the Universal Church from the beginning, and that her triumph over them is among the strongest proofs that God is her protector "all days, even to the consummation of the world." But we have been oppressed with grief in witness ing the inroad of principles and feelings that are not of God, nor according to God, among our beloved people, and the alienation, however brief, between them and any of us. In these our afflictions our eyes were turned longingly towards your Grace. You are placed by God, through the appoint ment of the Holy See, to govern us who are of your flock, to guide and teach us. You are our shepherd, whose voice we are bound to hear—that is, to obey. In this day of trial, when the authority of the good pastor is especially needed, and his apostolical courage especially tested, we have watched to hear your voice. We have heard it speaking to us calmly and meekly, but distinctly and solemnly ; and your words have filled our hearts with heavenly consolation, ant joy ex ceedingly great. " It is now more than half a century since your Grace's career in the ministry began, and nearly forty years since your elevation to the episcopacy. During that . long, and, from the circumstances of the times, most trying period, re ligion had flourished with increasing vigour and purity under your councils and example. Churches worthy the majesty of religion have been raised in all parts of the diocese. Con fraternities and approved practices of devotion have been introduced and established. Institutions, like that of the missionaries of St. Vincent or Paul, sources of salvation to millions yet unborn, not only in this, but in every diocese of the kingdom, have been formed and protected by your Grace, in coins instances not only unaided, but, as many of us well know, against powerful and most dis heartening opposition, and even obloquy and slander. Religious orders of men and women, which some whose public lives prove that they care very little for religion, now accuse you of betraying what you have always warmly encouraged and promoted. To you we are indebted for the establishment of the Sisters of Charity, the Sisters of Mercy, and the Brothers of the Christian Schools among us. For the illustrious order of the Jesuits you have always had the highest esteem and tenderest regard. The more distin guished members of this and of other religious orders have, it is well known, in some instances, enjoyed more of y our Grace's confidence than members of your own clergy. N ot a single instance can be shown in which you h ave ever, by word or act, exhibited the least opposition or discouragement, directly or indirectly, to any of these o rders. As to ourselves, we are bound to attribute whatever claims we have upon a good name, under God, to the model of priestly virtue wisich we , have always had before ou r eyes in the example of your . Grace, as well as to your s al u tar y admonitions and regula tions. In former times, when attempts were really mad e for Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday at Gloucester House, and partook of a dejeung with her Royal Highness. In the afternoon the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, left Gloucester House in a carriage and four, on her return to Frog more House. Mr. Griffith and Mr. Brownrigg, M.P., had inter views with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the Colonial office. Sir Robert and Lady Peel left town yesterday for Stowe, to have the honour of meeting her Majesty. The Postmaster-General had an interview with Sir R. Peel on Tuesday. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT to STOWE. STOWE, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—This morning her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by their suite, which comprised Earl Delawarr, the Earl of Jersey, the Marchioness of Douro, General Wemyss, Colonel Bou verie, and Mr. Anson, left Windsor Castle for the pur pose of visiting Stowe, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham. '.l he Royal party came by special train from Slough to Paddington, whence, after visiting the Duckess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, they proceeded to the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, where a special train was in waiting to convey them to Wolverton, distant from Stowe about fifteen miles. It is almost unnecessary to say that her Majesty and her illustrious consort were received all along the line of railway between London and Wolverton with those demonstrations of enthusiasm r. hich have accompanied their progress on former occasions by the same route. At the Wolverton station some preparation had been made for the recep'ion of her Majesty and the Prince. The platform of the station was covered with crim son cloth, and on the opposite side (that is to say on the " down" line) tbere was accommodation fur the public, who were admitted by tickets. The special train arrived at Wolverton at ten minutes to two o'clock. As it slowly moved up to the station her Majesty was received with loud cheers by the spectutor4. A company of the Buckinghamshire militia were drawn up on the platform on one side of the entrance to her Majesty's apartment, and on the other side two squadrons of the Bucks Yeomanry, dismounted, were posted.

The rooms provided for her Majesty and the Prince were on the first. floor, those for the suite were on the ground-floor. In each refresh ments were provided. After the lapse of about twenty minutes it was intimated that the royal travellers were ready to proceed, and almost immediately after they entered the carriages, which had been drawn up at the back of the station. Here a body of the Bucks Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Major Lucas, was drawn up, being the first of the troops appointed to escort her Majesty to Stowe. The distance from Wolverton to Stony Stratford is about three miles. At almost every point on the way people were collected, some on toot, and many in vehicles of different kinds, who loudly cheered as the carriages passed. There were two triumphal arches be tween Wolverton and Stratford. There were in the town of stony Stratford altogether five triumphal arches, come larger and handsomer than the others, but all proving the loyalty and liberality of those who had gone to the trouble and expense of erecting them.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS h,s received instruc tions from the Executors to SELL by PUBLIC COMPE TITION, on the Premises, on THURSDAY NEXT, January 23, at Twelve o'Clock, (and to the highest bidder), a SINGULARLY ELEGANT AND UNUSUALLY CONVE NIENT MANSION, OF FIRST.RATE IMPORTANCE, No. 28, IN BELGRAVE.SQUA RE, on the south side, and for several years the favoured abode of WM. KNIGHT DEHANY, ESQ., DECEASED. This delightful town residence was fitted up by the late re. spected possessor, regardless of expense, with a fixed determination to secure every comfort a family of distinction can desire. That he succeeded " a merveille" will be perceptible at the first glance, since ingenuity would be puzzled to find a real want neglected. Of the situation, it may be desirable to observe that it is IN THE VERY CENTRE OF FASHION AND GAIETY, AND ON THE VERGE OF ROYALTY, and the tenure secures the possession, subject to the original ground.rent only, for a period. " STILL EXISTING OF EIGHTY YEARS." The outward form dispbsys so much of architectural taste that it has long been the subject o. unvarying praise, and within, will be seen (from a condensed Statement about to follow) is without a single alloy. There are three upper chambers, for seven beds ; on the third story, three best bedchambers, and a commodite ; the second Boor, three delightfully airy bedchambers, a dressing.room, and commodite. The principal suite are of noble proportions, and the decorations quite in the present taste. The salon de compagnie is in communication with. the stone colonnade and balcony, TWO NOBLE STONE STAIRCASES, and the paved hall, to which may be appended THE LUXURY OF HOT AND COLD BATHS, admirably placed, with a shower-bath in connexion with it. The grand entree is of superior character and design, with a noble stone staircase to the principal suite, a lofty salle a manger, 30ft. by 18ft., a library about 20ft. by IBft., a gentleman's morning room, and commodite well placed. THE BASEMENT IS QUITE PERFECT, everything conducive to comfort, in its extended meaning, is pro minent throughout THE STABLE DEPARTMENT IS FAULTLESS. There are SEVEN CAPITAL STALLS, STANDING FOR THREE CARRIAGES, harness-room, with servant's sleeping-rooms over; and a depository for hay and straw ; a garden alone separates them from the man sion. There is water laid on throughout the abode and offices, Indeed, the whole appears allied to comfort, although it is not in tended to disguise the fact that a lady outrageously straight-laced may, by dint of ingenuity, find the opportunity to display her tact in renovating some of the decorations. The purchaser will have the opportunity to take, at a fair valuation, THE ELEGANT FURNITURE AND APPENDAGES of every kind, and in the best taste, observing that Dowbiggin was the artiste in furniture. It can only be seen by tickets ; to be had of Messrs. Parke and Freeth, solicitors, Lincoln's Inn-fields; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-garden. DEVONSHIRE-PLACE, PORTLAND.PLACE.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND, AND HIS SUI CIDE. Yesterday, John Clements, a wool-stapler, of Little George-street, adjacent to the Grange Toad, Bermondsey, attempted to murder his wife by cutting her throat, and afterwards destroyed himself. It appears that Clements was in the employ of Mr. Elkerton, wool-stapler, in the Grange walk, Bermondsey, since June last, and that he occupied, with his family, consisting of a wife and three children, a ready-furnished first-floor, at No. 24, Little George-street. For some time past he had exhibited depression of spirits. He complained of being unwell yesterday morning before he went to work, and returned before his usual time, between ten and eleven, and requested his wife to make him some tea. At this period their eldest son, about thirteen year's of age, was in the room, and he was sent to the public-house for a pint of porter. In about a minute after the lad quitted the house the landlady, a Mrs. Pudner, was alarmed' by hearing a loud scream, followed by the noise of some person falling heavily on the floor immediately over the room in which she was sitting. There was a knock at the street-door at this moment, and a young man named Bond was let in ; as he entered, Mrs. Clements came running down stairs with her throat cut, and the blood gushing from the wound. When she got into the pas sage, she fell from exhaustion into the arms of Bond, ejaculating, " For God's sake, call a doctor !" Bond then carried her into the back parlour, and hurried away to the police-station. Two policemen were immediately sent to the house, but, upon their entering the room, Clements was dis oovered lying on the floor in a pool of blood, with his throat cut nearly from ear to ear, and a razor, with which he per petrated the deed, lay at his side. A medical man speedily arrived, but the unfortunate man was quite dead. Mrs. Cle ments was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, and will probably recover. Her account of the occurrence, as well as she could recollect from the haste in which it was carried into effect, was, that her husband had been complaining for some days of his head, and being in arrear o f ren t to hi s landlord, it seemed to weigh on his mind, and on the preceding night he awoke out of his sleep in a fright, and said to his wife that the officers were going to apprehend him. When he subse quently returned from his employer's premises, and while she was engaged in toasting a piece of bread at the fire, be sud denly turned upon her and drew the razor across her throat. She felt the blood trickling down her neck, and with an effort she rushed out of the room, before he had time to repeat the act. The unfortunate deceased must have destroyed himself immediately afterwards. It appears that the deceased cause up from the country about seven months ago with his family, and that he was a sober and industrious man. He had no previous quarrel with his wife. FIRE and LOSS of LIFE at 13.4 TH. In the course of yesterday forenoon, accounts were received at the several fire-insurance offices in the City from the agents at Bath, respecting a very destructive fire, unhappily attended with fatal consequences, which took place in that city on the morning of Monday last. It appears that the at tention of the police was drawn to a quantity of smoke issu ing from the crevices of the parlour-shutters of the Horseand Jockey public-house, in th e occu p a ti on o f M r . Kilson, situate in Barton-street, Queen-square. The inmates were promptly apprised of the danger they were in, and on the landlord coming down stairs and opening the parlour-door, he discovered that the whole of the interior of that apartment. was on fire. Owing to the sudden draft of air, the flames quickly spread through the premises, and after it was thought that the residents had all made their escape, it was ascer tained that a Mrs. Ann Cross, a bedridden old lady, 78 years of age, was lying in a helpless state in bed in a front room on the first floor. One of the servants made two attempts to save the unfortunate creature, which proving unsuccessful, a workman, by means of a ladder, entered the room by the window. He succeeded, after much difficulty, in getting the afflicted woman out of the bed, but owing to her great cor pulency he was unable to lift her from the ground, and find ing that the floor was giving way underneath him, he was forced to leave her and make a hasty retreat by the window. In a few minutes afterwards the fire gained the room, when her cries were distinctly heard—" Oh save me, oh save me," which created the deepest sensation. The flames continued to rage with unabated fury, and in less than an hour the whole building was consumed. In the course of the day the burnt remains of the poor sufferer were collected. An in quest was held, and a verdict of "Accidental death" has boon returned. The premises were insured in the Sun Fire office for 1,000/. THE ROYAL NAVY. ARRIVAL OF MORE CHINESE MONEY. The Pelican sloop, 16, Commander Philip Justice, has ar rived at Portsmouth, from China, with another instalment of the Chinese indemnity. She caused some consternation at Portsmouth on Monday evening about eight o'clock. On coming into Spithead she grounded on the Kicker Point, off Fort Monckton, when she tired a number of guns and threw up several rockets. The signal was soon answered by the Victory in the harbour, and the Comet steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Prettyman, and a number of boats, went out to her assistance, and as it was low water when she took the gro un d, s h e was got off about midnight, without damage. The master was sick, and a pilot had been taken in st Weymouth to carry the vessel into Port. Captain Rowley, of the St. Vincent, 120, flag ship, went on board the Pelican yesterday morning, and mustered her crew, and at noon she was towed into harbour by the Comet, where she remains. The Pelican left Hong-Kong on the 3d of August, with a freight of 1,000,000 dollars. She beat down against the south-west monsoon, and anchored in Angier Roads on 19th of September. She had been in company with the Harlequin; 16, Commander Hon. G. F. Hastings, and, finding the. Pelican to be in a leaky state, half her money was twits ferred to the Harlequin, and, while the latter ppro ceeded on her voyage to England, the PeHeal' 'went to Ba tavia to repair damages. Having arrive'!, at the island of Onrust, she was immediately taken ',Tito the dockyard at-Ba tavia, where the ship was careened, and fifty feet of plank perfectly rotten and worm-eaten, just below the light-load water line on the larboard side, was replaced by sound wood, and in ten days she was ready for sea. The Dutch Admiral, the commandant, and other authorities at Batavia, behaved in the most handsome manner towards the officers of the Pe lican, facilitating the repairs of the sloop, and showing every courtesy and attention to their wants. The Pelican departed from Onrust, her ship's company much gratified with their reception, on the sth of October, watered at Angi er , an d finally left Java H ea d on th e 9th of that month, and an chored at the Cape of Good Hope on the 15th of November. A transport has just anchored in Table Bay, with the 57th regiment on board, bound to India. She had been eleven weeks on her voyage from England. The George the Fourth, tea ship, was about to leave the Cape for England the day after the Pelican left. A vessel called the Pagoda was fitting out at the Cape for an experimental cruise to the 65th degree of south latitude, by the Winchester's officers and men. The Pelican left the Cape on the 27th of November; and anchored at St. Helena on the Bth of December, where she found the French brig of war Messager, and twenty sail of merchantmen, homeward bound. There was also at the island a slave prize, belonging to the Albatross, 16, Com mander Reginald Yorke, in charge of Lieutenant Elliot. The Pelican left St. Ilelena on the 9th, spoke the Ann in lat 4 27 N., and lon. 19 52 W.,on the 18th of December. She made St. Agnes' light, Scilly, on the 12th inst., and anchored at Spithead on the 13th, having made her passage from St, Helena in five weeks. She has brought home some invalid • seamen and marines front the squadron in China; she left several at the Cape of Good Hope Hospital. The Pelican was commissioned in October, 1840, by Corn.. mender C. G. E. Napier, and her present commander was appointed to her in November, 1841. She has been act i vely employed since that period, and at Chinamo s tly i n t h e north. She has lost only two men during her service at China. Lieut. Whyte (tirst), the only principal officer who has be en i n her during her whole term of commission, gallantly jumped over board on three occasions during the last tar h 'e e l: 6 7'h d e t H w a o r l l i eq 'e u s in, 16, Commander Hon.

C h o e I- 1 he l d aa l c iyt night, a t th e W hite Hart, Mitcham, for the purpose s rpose of con swas idering the proposed scheme. Last year a similar company tormed, but, owing to the opposition of the mill-ov nere upon the stream and the inhabitants, the scheme was alien:- doped. The present Company have somewhat modified their original plan, and th e y propose, i nstead of taking the water from the course of the stream, so as to affect the operation of the mills, they will take it at Wandsworth, at its junction with the river Thames, the water being filtered and purified during its course. Mr. D. C. Porter took the chair. Memo. Bridger, Finden, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and complained of the conduct of the Company in having departed from their original plan ofbuilding a sewer to carry oil the impurities of the river, and proposing instead to have ‘‘ catch ponds," or cesspools, at different places near the river, some of them being nearly an acre in extent. The speakers objected very much to these cesspools, which they said there could be no doubt would be highly injurious to the health of those who lived in the neighbourhood. Mr. Thomp son, the Eurveyoi., and AIL Galsworthy, the solicitor to the Company, on bei ng ca ll e d upon f or an explanation, adm. tted that there had been a deviation trent the original plat by substituting the cesspools, or catch ponds, for the sewer; be.t they said that the reason for this was, that the mill ownsria fearedwere o t p h p a o t s€ ii d ie w to ate t r h: rot e d r d ec b t e ion ec o c l s t io lf ial s l e y w ta er k b en eca fr u o s m e they river to cleanse the sewer, and that they should thus 4 e had re a s d en d t re' ee se h d en it i t t: eeeting, resolutions condemnatory meeting. p by the ip their mill power.
