LONDON, SAT URDAY 1.545 PRICE SD. BISHOPSGATE-STREET, IN THE CITY OF LONDON. To HOTEL and TAVERN-KEEPERS, SPECULATORS, and NOVELTY ZN MUSIC, EAST INDIA HOUSE, DECEMBER 10, 1845. THE COURT OF DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice, that a PROPRIETOR of EAST INDIA STOCK has given notice that at the Quarterly General Court of the said Company, appointed to he-held at their House in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 17th instant, he will PREFER CERTAIN CHARGES AGAINST Lieutenant-Colonel CHARLES °VANS, late ReSident at Sattara. A statement of the charges intended to be made was delivered in by the same Proprietor at the last Quarterly General Court. That the same Proprietor hes also given zotice, that at the same Quarterly General Court he will move that, " Whereas on the 25th of September, 1819, a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance was concluded between the Honourable East India Company' and his Highness Maharajah Pertaub Shean, the Raja of Sattara; " And whereas, his Highness Pertaub Shean so conducted himself as an ally of the East India Company, that on the 29th December' 1835, the following letter was unanimously agreed to by the Court o Directors : APACK of FIFTY-TWO MUSIC-CARDS, with Rook of Directions for Playing a variety of Instructive and Entertaining Games on the Rudiments and Fundamental Prin ciples of the Science of Music.

The next charge imputed to Mr. Loftus, that, on a day shortly before Christmas, 1843, he and Henry Twiddy accompanied a woman of ill-fame, naint d Mary Foreman, ' in Boston, Lincolnshire, to Ittr residence, a common brothel; that they passed that night there, each with a common prostitute.;• that ; Mrs. Foreman, at the express instance of Mr. Loftus hired or eng o i ed two pros titutes , name d Jeminit ee s s e and Sarah N\ arsop, of Boston. to enter his s a, - . the ostensibe capacities of housemaid and co es .1 , t these two women accordingly went . to the vie' • ge house at Fincham, in December, 1843; and that, during the time they remained in his service, Mr. Loftus and Twiddy, with Mr. Loftus's privity, had habitually- criminal inter course with them, and committed adultery, or fornica tion. Upon this charge Mrs. Foreman had been - ease:nine], and she proved her meeting with )Jr. Loftus j and Twiddy in Baston, their visit to her house, their sleeping at it with two womem, the wish expressed to her by Mr. Loftus that she would engage two women for him as cook and housemaid; and that, in accordance with a letter from Twiddy, she sent Cross and Warsop to Fincham. Cross, one of these women, of the age of 19 or 20, had also been examined, and proved that she was hired Vas: Mrs. Foreman, that she proceeded to Fincham, and that the evening of their arrival at the vicarage Mr. Loftus came down to the pantry, where they were, and said to Twtddy, ‘• Remember, Henry, I am to have the housemaid (Cross), and you the cook ( Warsop)." She further stated, that for the first month she slept with Mr. Loftus, and after that with Twiddy . lt had been said that this story was so improbable that it destroyed the credit of the witness; that it was inconceivable that a gentleman in the position of Mr. Loftus, with so high a character, should have been guilty of such an atrocious act; and at first blush it - d;cl appear to be most improbable and scarcely to be believed. But this story did not de p nd upon the single testimony of the woman Cross, for the other woman, Susan Warsop, had been examined, and she, though actuated by feelings favourable to Mr. Loftus, confirmed the evidence of Mrs. Foreman as to the hiring or these two women; as well as that Of Cross as to what took place on Their arrival at the vicarage. She admitted that:she had been connected with Twiddy, but she refused to answer the question whether she had had carnal connexion with Mr. Loftus. Upon this point, therefore, she did not affirmatively corroborate the testi mony Of Cross, who stated that when she began to sleep with Twiddy there was an interchange of night com panions, and that Warsop slept with Mr. Loftus; but she did not contradict Cross upon this point, and upon other points she confirmed her. Here, therefore, were two girls, one 19 or 20, the other 22 or 23, hired by the keeper of a brothel, admitted into the parsonage house of Mr. Loftus, the iecumbent of a parish, with whom he and his butler were cohabiting, his family then consisting only of these women, Twiddy, and Emanuel, a page. For a fort night after the arrival of these two women, Mr. Balls, the curate of Mr. Loftus, resided in the house ; but at the end of a fortnight Mr. Balls quitted the house, for what reason did not appear. Now, it was a most ex traordinary circumstance, that Mr. Balls, the curate of the parish, who had actually resided in the parsonage house whilst these women were there, and was so com petent to give evidence, had not been examined by Mr. Loftus in support of his allegation as to character ; for he would have been a most important witness to show the propriety of the conduct of Mr. Loftus at this time. There was another important circumstance. It appeared that about Christmas, 1843, Twiddy, and the women Cross and Warsop were infected with a loathsome disease, for which they were attended by a medical person, Mr. Gent. Mr. Loftus could not have been ignorant of this fact, and, therefore, it was established, that a person in holy orders, the rector of a parish, allowed these three persons to remain in his service after he knew they were all infected with this dis ease. From the interrogatories, it did not appear that Mr. Loftus himself was infected, and it had been argued that this fact afforded a presumption that Cross's story was altogether untrue. But the interrogatories had been expressly confined to the three persons, Twiddy, Cross, and Warsop, and the medical witness stated that he did not attend Mr. Loftus at this time. Although, there fore, there was no affirmative evidence to show that Mr. Loftus participated in this disease, there was nothing in this absence of proof which contradicted the evidence of Cross. But what happened in March, 1844? Cross was, or considered herself to be pregnant, and she had recourse to some medicine to procure a miscarriage, or • an abortion ; and, although he (the Learned Judge) believed that Mr. Loftus was not privy to this act, he , knew of the fact after the result had taken place, and ' yet when, owing to the scandal her case had created Cross was obliged to be discharged from his service, he gave her the following certificate:—" Fincham Rectory, Downham-market, March 21, 1844.—Jemima Cross has lived with me about five months, and is honest and un derstands the duties of housemaid; she left from the situation being too much for her strength.—Arthur Loftus " Was this proper conduct on the part. of a person like Mr. Loftus, who could not be ignorant of the real facts? But this was not all. When Cross was discharged, another girl, Maria Ward, was hired to' replace her, by 1.1. e 10t., ,,, ,ti0n of the same Mrs. Foreman, the keeper of the brothel at Boston. nlees Mr. Lottea was e-per feet idiot he could net b& anin-red -himself to be so blinded as to the real character of these persons. It had been suggested that all these charges were the result of a conspiracy, in which the wife of Mr. Loftus and other parties had engaged, in order to procure a sentence of divorce against him by reason of his adultery. But where was the proof of anything like conspiracy ? Some parts of the case were in themselves extremely impro bable, but when considered with reference to other parts, and the whole res ge.sta proved beyond all doubt, the improbability vanished. '1 occurrences at Mr. Loftus's own house took away the improbability of the transac tions elsewhere, which the Court could not treat as mere inventions. But what took place in September, 1844 ? The Bishop of the diocese, being informed of the conduct of Mr. Loftus, sent for hi.o, anti, according to Mr. Loftus's own acknowledgment to Mr. Arthey, he expressed to the Bishop his hope that he would be lenient towards him, and allow him 2001. a year out of his living. Mr. Loftus, moreover, applied to Mr. Arthey for the certificate he had promised to give him, to the effect that the criminal indulgence he had been charged ' with was requisite in his state of health. It was unfor tunate that Mr. Loftus had carried this suggestion, given, as Mr. Arthey says, half' in joke, to an extent which that gentleman had never intended. It had been urged in behalf of Mr. Loftus, that a good character, such as he bad received, should weigh in a doubtful ease ; but this was nut to his (the Learned Judge's) mind a doubtful case ; there was no doubt in his mind that the facts had completely established most profligate conduct on the part of Mr. Loftus ; that the articles had been most fully and substantially proved ; and it had been admitted that, if proved, 'nothing short of a sentence .of deprivation would be adequate to meet the justice of the case. He (the Learned Judge) had, therefore no hesitation in pronouncing that Mr. Loftus had incurred the penalty of deprivation of whatever preferment he possessed, either in the diocese of Norwich or elsewhere in the province of Canterbury, and he condemned him in the costs of the proceedings He directed the sentence to be announced in the usual manner on Sunday week, the 21st December. The Proctor for Mr. Loftus prayed that the sentence might not issue till after 14 days, in order that he might appeal. It was afterwards decided, in conformity with the case of Dr. Free, that the sentenco should be signed (which was done), and ordered to be transmitted to the regis trar of the diocese, but not to issue till 15 days ; and that it be not published till Sunday, the 28th December.

"'A course of conduct so suitable to your Highness's exalted sta tion, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of your do minions, and the happiness of your people; as that which you have wisely arid uniformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour oa your character, has imparted to our minds the feelings of unqualified satisfaction and pleasure. The liberality; a:so, which you have dis played in executing at your own cost 'various public works of great utility, and which has so justly raised your.reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of India, giv.s you au additional claim to our approbation, respect, and applause. ' Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Directors of the East India Company have ainanimously re,olved to transmit to you a sword, which will be presented to you through the Government of India; and which, we trust, you will receive with satisfaction, as a token.of their high esteem and regard.

Of the sth Article, in having, during a series of years, held improper communications with the Goa authorities ; " 2d.

" Information having been received by the British Government that.your Highness, misled, by evil advisers, had, in breach of the Treaty which placed you on the throne, enteral into communications hostile to the . British Government, an inquiry into these accusations was considered indispensable. - This inquiry has satisfied the British Government that your Highness has exposed yourself to the sacrifice of its alliance and protection. Nevertheless, moved by considerations of clemency towards your Highness and your family, the British Go vernment has resolved entirely to overlook what has passed on the following Conditions, namely, &c. &c. ; "And whereas the Raja of Sattara did, at these interviews, de clare his entire and absolute innocence, and earnestly implore per mission to be heard in reply to the charges which his enemies had broaght against him, and in refutation of the evidence in support of them ; and did al , o express his willingness to submit to any con ditions which did not require him to abandon his religion, or to ac knowledge; in violation of his conscience, that he had been the enemy of the British Government ; "'And whereas, for the sole reason of having refused to sign the articles and preamble submitted to him, he was, on the sth of Sep tember, 1839, and by the authority of Sir James Carnac, forcibly taken a prisoner and dethroned, and a proclamation issued by the Resident, declaring his brother, Appa Sahib (his bitter enemy), the Rajah. of Settara ; " And whereas, by the 3d Ge0..111., chap. 52, sec. 43, it is enacted that It shall not be lawful for the Government of Bombay, Be., to make or ‘tsue any.order for commencing hostilities, or levying war, conclude any treaty with any Indian p rince or or to negotiate Z. s f sudden emergency or imminent danger , state (except in cases j.:f p o stpone such hostilities or when it shall appear dange rOtt treaty), unless in pursuance of express orders from the Governer- General in Council, or from the Secret Committee, by the au thority of the Board of Control t' - - " And whereas it is further enacted, in section 42 of the same Act, that ' It shall. not be lawful for the Governor-General in Council, without the express command and authority of the Court of Di rectors, or of the Secret Com mittee, by the authority of the Board of Control, in any case' (except where hostilities have actually been commenced, or preparations actually made for the commencement of hostilities; against the British nation in either to declare war or commence hostilities, or enter into any treaty for making war, &c. ;' " Resolved—That the dethronement of his Highness Pertaub Shear, the ex-Raja of Sattara, under the Circumstance& now set forth, was a violation of the above statute, and was, therefore, au illegal act."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 12. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, before the LORD -CHIEF BARON and Common Juries.) CHANCELLOR V SAMBROOK. This was an action on the case for injuries done to a valuable horse, to which the defendant had pleaded not guilty. Mr. Knowles and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Woolrych for the de fendant. The plaintiff was the well-known proprietor of the omnibuses running between Brompton and the City, and the defendant a coal merchant, carrying on business at the Arundel Wharf, Arundel-street. The transaction which gave rise to the present action occurred on the 24th of April last. About two o'clock on that day one of the plaintiff's omnibuses was travelling from the City towards the West-end, and met with no interruption or accident till it came to St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, when the driver, observing that a waggon was coming up Arundel-street, and intending to proceed in a contrary direction, drew up close to the pavement immediately r°c s m o opposite the Crown and Anchor in the Strand, to give et thehvee rd, waggondefendant , c d h a amplent, was afterwardsturnedys t or round The ed the wt the e g p g rc o oo n p waggon, corner 00 how ever, t s oh foundaprap sl Arundel-street and the Strand, that the wheels grazed the lamp-post, then ran against the pole of the omnibus, and finally passed over the hoof of the off horse draw ing the omnibus, inflicting injuries that ultimately re sulted in the death of the animal. It was to recover damages for the loss the plaintiff had sustained by this accident that the present action was brought. Evidence having been adduced to prove these facts, Mr. IiIIIIFREY addressed the jury for the defendant, and afterwards called a number of witnesses to prove that the accident would not have happen:d had the driver of the omnibus exercised due and ordinary caution in the conduct cf his vehicle and horses. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that the occurrence was an unavoidable accident. ARCHES' COURT, Dec. 12. JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.

This was a proceeding against a clergyman named Heathcote, who had been convicted of an attempt to commit a certain offence, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Ili: had given an affirmative issue to the articles exhibited against him in this Court (that is, he had pleaded guilty), and the sentence stood over, in order to ascertain whether this Court had power to degrade, the counsel fur the promoter pressing for a sentence to that extent. Dr. PRILLIMORE (with whom was Dr. R. Phillimore) —who had argued that the Judge of this Court. as offi cial. Principal or Dean of the Arches, could inflict de gradation—now admitted that he could find no prece dent, and suggested that it was a fit case for the Court, under the 122 d canon, to invoke the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, to pronounce the sentence. The form of the sentence porrected in this case was founded upon the only instance that could be found in this Court or the Consistory Court—namely, Johnson's case, in 1692, when three bishops had pronounced the Isentence, in the absence of the then Bishop of London, who was under suspension at the time. In that case the party was deprived of his orders, and reduced to a REGENT'S CANAL RAILWAY OPPOSITION. The Central Committee, finding that .the proposed Regent's Canal Railway have deposited their Plans. beg to intorm the Landowners, What-Angers, Traders, and others interested in the preservation of the Canal u a water-way, that they have obtained copies thereof, and are now proceeding in the arrangement of evidence against the scheme ; ;led will be happy to receive communications in further anie of the opposition. - By order of the. Central Committee, THOMAS WM. GRAY, Secretary pro tern, 7, John-street, Adelphi, Dec. 10, 1845. • layman. Sir H. JENNEA FUST—Under the ancient canon law, six bishops were required to deprive a clerk of his offi cium. If this is to be a case of degradation from orders, it is a very different thing from depriving of office. I am not prepared to say that, if the Court should be of opinion that it is a case for degradation, there should not be a certain number of bishops T HE OXFORD AND SALISBURY DIR,ECI RAILWAY...

The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to announce that, in compliance with the applications and suggestions of several gentlemen of experience, they have instructed the several bankers named in their Letters of Allotment to continue to receive the pre liminary depesits from this time until the 7th of January next, in order that those parties to whom Shares in this Company have been allotted may consult their own convenience by paying the first de posit at the present time, or paying the whole deposit on or before the 7th of January next. present. I am, however, of opinion that in this case justice will be satisfied by deposing this gentleman from the ministry, and the Court would be entitled to pro nounce that sentence of itself. If you correct a sentence to that extent—namely, deposing him from the ministry —that is depriving him of authority to officiate—l will sign it. Jity order of the Beard, Z.

The highest tide known for the last twenty-live years occurred on Thursday night and yeiterday morning, and we are sorry to state that the destruction of property en both Sides of the river-ha s --b e a n _ enormous. The wind ,was N.W. during the whole day, - and towards nigtrit --- increased considerably, and acti ng [Ton a spring tide, - forced an immense body of water up the river. Unfor tunately for the inhabitants of the water-side premises, the tide did not commence flowing until night had set in, and as it Continued rising fur six hours, some time before it. had reached its height, those living near to .the river had .retired- to rest in fancied security, conse quently they 'were 'wholly unprepared to resist the irruption of the water, uhich poured into the basement floors and cellars of houses not merely contiguous to the river, but in 'many parts the river overflowed its banks to the extent of some hundreds of yards. The scene that presented itself from London-bridge to Hammer smith, when daylight broke, was• mast disheartening. :The publicanain - Thames-street, Bankside,,and so on to Westminster and Lanabstb, had their - cellars filled with water. In every instance the butts and puncheons of beer and spirits were floating about, and in a very ruany instil-ices they had been staved in by the violent motion of the water. The Commercial-road, Lambeth, and the Belvidere-road were all undo later, and in the latter roads the cellars were filled. Sin rte's, the boat-builder's, premises, the Glass-house, and the wharfs between the latter place and Bishop's-walk, were flooded to the tlepth of several feet. The road to Lainh.th church was . . The title reached under the gates of the Archbishop's Palace, tilling the gardens and ap,-)roaches to the house. In Fore-street, High -street, and Ferrv-vr. - yet, the li censed victuallers and others have sustained great losses, and the landlady of the Duke's Head, in Fore-street, es timates her loss at 2001 Two children who wore sleep ing in a kitchen in High -street were all but drowned, and the damage done to the scanty furniture of the poor People-living in the district is-very great. At Vauxhall, the force of the water threw down the wall facing,the em bankment of Brunswick gardens. and the goodsihremises of the South-Western Railway Company were all under water. A girl in the service of Mr. Noyes, the manager of the posting department of the South-Western Rail way, who resides in Belmont-place. Viandsworth-road, was taken out of the kitchen, in which she slept, by her plaster in an inanimate state, and for some time no signs of animation presented'themselves. It was evident to the medical gentlemen who were called in, that a few minutes would have decided her fate, and at the present time she - is in a very - precarious state. A large wall enclosing the Rane'agh estate adjoining the Royal Hos pital was thrown down, .and the tide having free ingress extended many hundred yards inland, and uniting with the Grosvenor Canal, overflowed a great part of Pimlico. ,Battersea marshes were one immense sh( et of water, a eircumstance, that has not occurred for the lest twenty ledrsseawaNnva, s is co a m s p u l ff e e te re ly; fi lo ve od 3 e ' el e , ar a s n . d M T r h . e Li v n i t i e la l g l, e of of th ß e a O tt to an alarming extent., On the Chelsea side, the tides covered the grounds of Cremorne House and reached the King's-road. Sir Edward East's beautiful grounds at Eattersea were sadly despoiled, and the great portion of the fencing was torn up. At Wandsworth the tide did excessive damage. Mr. Pearce, the landlord of the Wa terman's Arms, is a loser to the extent of probably 1001. The White Horse and the Feathers were likewise Hooded, the water positively putting the fires out in the parlours and taproom. At the latter house a man had to row in a boat down the yard to the styes, to rescue the pigs. The poor people living at the river side hail the water in their houses to the:depth of three and four feet. In many instances it forced up the flooring. The churchwardens and overseers, we were glad to observe, did their best to alleviate the sufferings of these poor :people by giving them tickets for broad and cinl; which ~er:diy had t most e. gratefully f et waterfullyrecein received The ; a e T,d thema lt-houseL( o m f , %le sars. i3 v rMill, .belonging to Messrs. Watney end Wills. was flooded to the depth cif eighteen inches, and some hundreds of sacks of flour have been spoilt. About ninety quarters of oats were also wetted. On the Richmond Railway works the timber was driven about in all directions, and the dams, &c., were filled with water. The tide influencing ithe Wandle, caused the latter to rise to an almost tipple ,cedented extent. At Putney the tide committed great ravages, and so ; great was the body of water in the cellar of the Bell .Tavern, that Mr. Ayes, the landlord, was obliged to em ploy the parish engine. At Fulham the water rose so high that the Bishop of London's grounds were flooded, and the churchyard was under water. The fires on the ,ground floor of the Swan were extinguished, and the water flowed to the King's Arms, a distance of a quarter of a mile. Immense quantities of timber and casks were floated away. Our correspondents at Rochester and Greenwich state that the high tide was as remarkable down the river as it was above the bridge. At the Royal Hospital., Green wich, the whole of the wharf frontage was two feet under water. Church-street, which leads from, the Waterman's Floating Pier to the centre of the town, was, one-half the distance, under water abont two feet ; the warehouses along-shore inundated, and much injury done to the property in the lower apartments, and some hundreds of poor families, whose sleeping.rooms are on the ground floor, were alarmed by the rush of water into their rooms. At Deptford-bridge, which is a long way from, the river, the lower warehouses of Messrs. Cobbett and Co., extensive floor cloth manufacturers and dealers in carpeting, were under water, and a considerable quantity of goods injured, so as to become unealeble. The ex .tensive steam flour mills - of Messrs. Carpenter, situated on Deptrord Creek, suffered greatly. The engine room, boiler, Ssc., being deluged, the fires of course extin guished, and -the machinery extensively damaged. At ~ '“tnr•tr_ the "the ItfedwerVere observed to be rushing,upwarda.aeith a force never before u itnessed there, mil die greater part of the High-street, of Streod, was soon uno.er water, and a twenty feet boat with three persons in it, was seen rowing about where the passengers, only a few minutes before, had passed dry shod. The damage has been im mense. In many places the river has burst its bounds, and the marshes are flooded in every direction. The gardens and cultivated grounds in the neighbourhood which have been flooded by the salt water, will be long before they recover from its injurious effects. Fortu nately it was a moonlight night, end much stock was hastily driven to places of safety. The gas works were under water, and the lighting of the town was suspended. We have received from another reporter the following account of the disasters occasioned by the high tide on each side of the river below London-bridge. At mid night, the sudden rushing of the waters over the embank ments of the Thames, and through the wharfs and al leys leading into the streets, aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers. A great many persons were saved in Wapping, Shadwell, the numerous courts and alleys leading out of Bankside, and other places, by the activity of the police, and thole of the Thames division. were very, assiduous in saving people's lives, and drag ging them throiigh the flood to places of safety. For an hour before the time named in the calendar for high water, the river was several inches above the usual level, and it continued to flow with a velocity which astonished the oldest waterman and lighterman, until five minutes after one o'clock yesterday morning, an hour beyond the time named for high water at London-bridge, when the tide was one inch higher at St. Katherine's Dock gates than it was in November, 1841, when a similar disastrous visitation occurred. The water rushed through the streets with irresistible fury, and the cellars, kitchens, parlours, and shops of the inhabitants were soon filled. The eruption of the tide was so sudden that people were obliged to leave their dwellings in haste, and wade through the water to higher :ground. At Blackwell there was a large space of ground covered with water. The extensive factory of Messrs. Ditchburn and Mard, the iron steamboat manufacturers, on both sides of Bow creek, was overflowed, and the materials used in their business sustained great damage. The firm were obliged to suspend operations and give their men a holiday yes terday, until things were put in order. In the Prince Albeit and Orchard House Taverns, near the factory, the water was four feet deep in the principal rooms on the ground floor, and the loss of spirits, ale, and beer in the cellars of each house is estimated at 1501. The High street, Wapping, from the Tunnel to Union-stairs, ap peared like a canal, sad boats were plying backwards and forwards, receiving the tradesmen, shopkeepers, and others, or carrying passengers from one end of the street to the other. Those who did not reach home before twelve in this neighbourhood were obliged to remain out all night, or else avail themselves of the boats to reach their dwellings. The casks and barrels in the Watermen's Arms public-house, at Wapping New stairs, were floating about the cellars, and as the water rose they lifted the flooring, broke down the bar, and made a partial wreck of the place. The landlord, Mr. Wasmuth, estimates his loss at 501. A similar disaster took place at the Ship, Execution Dock, kept by Mr. Vincent, and at several other houses of public entertain ment on the banks of the river. Shortly before one o'clock the screams of a family living in one of the small tenements in Cross-alley, near Gun-dock, induced some of the Thames police to attempt a rescue, and a woman and four children were taken oat of an apart ment into which the water had penetrated. The family had a narrow escape. In Rotherhithe and Bermondsey there was a great quantity of corn spoiled in the granaries. The deposit of mud and slime, left on the receding of the tide, did more damage to grain, perishable goods' on the wharfs, and furniture, than the waters of the Thames. The water was six feet in depth yesterday morning, at half-past twelve o'clock, in Upper Ground -street, and a street leading out of it call e d B o dd s ' s -b r id ge , near M essrs . Hawes soap manufactory. 'The Commercial-road, Pedlar's-acre, a great portion of the Belvidere-road, and the numerous timber wharfs in the vicinity, were under water ; and when the tide ebbed, large piles and deals were carried out into the steam. Business was sus pended at many of the wharfs during the whole of yes terday.

TBE OFFICE OF TIIF: JUDGE PROMOTED BY KITSON AGAINST LOFTUS. Sir H. JENNER FUST gave his sentence in this case, in which the office of the judge had been promoted by the registrar of the diocese of Norwich against the Rev. Afthur Loftus, vicar of the united vicarage of Fincham St. Marton, and rectory of Fincham St. Michael, and also vicar of the vicarage and parish church of HolAliton, otherwise Helhoughton, with the vicarage of Rainham St. Martin annexed, all in the county of Norfolk. The case came before this Court by letters of request from the Bishop of Norwich, and the articles (which the Learned Judge read in detail) in substance charged Mr. Loftus with frequenting houses of ill-fame ; having intercourse with prostitutes ; hiring women of that description as domestic servants, and, whilst retaining them in his service, having carnal inter course with them. In his defensive allegation he had denied these charges altogether. It could not be doubted, the Learned Judge observed, that the offences imputed to Mr. Loftus were exceedingly grave, and, if proved by credible testimony, it had been admitted on all hands, that nothing short of deprivation would be a sufficient censure to be inflicted upon him. It unfortunately hap pened in these cases, that the witnesses produced in sup port of the charges were mostly persons of bad character, upon whom the Court could not place implicit reliance, coming as they did to confess their own infamy ; but they were competent witnesses by law, and the Court was not at liberty to reject their testimony, though it must look carefully to see how far their testimony was credible per se, and how far it was confirmed by the evidence of other witnesses, or by the general circumstances of the case. It had been argued, that in a case like this, the unblemished character which Mr. Loftus had enjoyed up to the spring of 1844, according to the testi mony of eleven or twelve gentlemen, including clergy men, magistrates, and Members of Parliament, ought to have great weight; and undoubtedly those gentlemen had deposed that they never had a suspicion or surmise unfavourable to his moral character, and that he was a person least likely, in their estimation, to be guilty of the acts with which he was charged. Mr. Loftus, therefore, came before the Court with all this testimony in his favour, in addition to the presumption of innocence which every person was entitled to until his guilt was proved. But it might appear that, notwithstanding the character given of him by these respectable witnesses should be true, a change in his conduct had taken place, and that such high character may have been forfeited by him. Before entering upon the evidence in support of the articles, the Learned Judge adverted to the statement made by Mr. Arthey, a medical attendant of Mr. Loftus, that in the year 1841 the health of Mr. Loftus was highly deranged; that in consequence of proceedings in the Ec clesiastical Court of Norwich, in which Mrs. Loftus had sued her husband for a divorce on the ground of cruelty, in which she had failed, he was in a highly excited state; and that he had advised Mr. Loftus, on the occa sion of his leaving home in September, 1843, on account of his health, to cohabit with some decent female, of fering, though half in joke, if he " got into a scrape" thereby, to give him a certificate that should extricate him. The articles charged Mr. Loftus with being in the habit of resorting, in October, November, and December, 1843. and in many of the months of 1844, accompanied by Henry or Harry Twiddy, his footman, or butler, to a house of ill-fame, kept by Mrs. Sconce, in Birdcage-row , Lynn, and there committing adultery with coo or more prostitute or prostitutes; and that, on one occasi on of his resorting to this house, he sent for a prostitute named Chilvers. Mrs. Seim ce, the keeper of this bro thel, had b, en served with a compulsory summons; but she was confined to her bed at the time, and bad not been exatnined. Mary Anne (Mayers, however, had been examined, and she proved that she had been sent for by a AGAINST CRESWELL. The argument in this case was resumed, but it is st unfinished. PALACE COURT, Dec. 12. (Before Mr. W. CORRIE, Judge, and a Common Jury. COMMITTAL OF A GENTLEMAN-CHAMBERLAIN V. NOKES. . In this case a judgment had been obtained against the defendant for a debt of 161., and the present application was for an order of committal against him. Mr. G. Co'sox, plaintiff's attorney, said that he had made several applications to defendant for payment, but although he had promised payment he had never done so, and he (Mr. Colson) had no alternative but to press for his committal. The JUDGE—Can he pay ? Mr. COLSON—Oh yes. He is a gentleman residing at Bromley, in Kent, keeping six horses, and having re cently purchased an estate for 60,0001. The JUDGE—Then I shall commit him for forty days to the common gaol of the county.

One of the most improving and extensive Fee-simple Estates in the United Kingdom, containing 50.000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the country. IL W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to offer for SALE by AUCTION, in the ensuing spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, • the Braid, and Kells ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive- land, lying in the valleys of the river Main and the Braid and-Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of • Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum bas • been recently expended in valuable im provements. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water power, there are many ex tensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupa tion of wealthy and respectable manufacturers, and several of the tenantry are engaged in or connected with the various branches of the linen trade ; the majority are Protestants, and in the highly favoured province of Ulster are remarkable for their in dustry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are extensive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a Quarter ef.a mile-of flail the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast ; the entire of the estates include a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Railway, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pioperty, as well as also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time be obtained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, .solicitors, Mee rion.square, Dublin ; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 16, Bucklersbury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times " newspaper made the following review : " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet entitled A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'" The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:—" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in mat ters re'ating to the improvement and value of land in his own coun try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted.
