Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor- Nulty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efticacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lover was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure if nervous headache ; as a toilet perfinne iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, are w drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, aid ,revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing ♦dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour tea or twelve drops n the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It prodices air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on Infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. _ _ All letters aillressod to William erltustone, Ilmbary, 3N THE CONCEALED CAUSE THAT PREYS ON ME HEALTH AND SHORTENS THE DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.

I A G E. LTI One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un compresing hurry ; bat the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune.

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land. AT 4E.A. numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saying the ship and 230 souls on hoard, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days oat at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a the brigade. They act instantaneously at tie outbreak of a fire. "We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Norton's dyery, and 12,900/. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and 31essrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun pewder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " North Waisham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property - now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. It a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prow. steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Peres Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus : —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in lydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight Call raise 10,1100 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water up% ant) side by side with the Fountain Pimp, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,1113, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountala Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridicelous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less coat than common pumps.

The flames, when first dis covered, had obtained a firm hold of the ground-floor, and, having extended to the spirits, they were rapidly making towards the staircase. At that time Mrs. Beau mont, her son and daughter, together with a servant, were in their beds asleep. After considerable trouble the resi dents were made sensible of the great danger to which they were exposed, and with the exception of Mr. Beau mont, jun., and a man, they escaped without receiving any personal injury. The other two, however; were both injured by leaping from the window. Owing to the combustible nature of the contents of the place, very few minutes elapsed before the building, which was 40 feet long by as many feet wide, wa s completely enve loped in flames. The fi remen and parish engineers laboured incessantly, but they were unable to get the mastery over the destructive element before the building was burned down. The premises occupied by Mr. Adams, 15, Seymour-place, and a cottage adjoining, i n the tenure of Mary 'Ware, have also sustained consider able damage by water and removal. The origin of the disaster is unknown. The tavern and its contents were insured in the Phcenix Fire-office. DON'T USE COVERS FOR NEWSPAPERS.' — Those who receive a newspaper through the post have no concep tion of the dangers which it has to encounter in its journey, and how fortunate they are, if it was dressed in a cover, that it has reached its destination; fer on Satur day nights' several omnibuses are required to convey the newspaper bags to the different termini, and they are jumped upon and squeezed into almost inconceivable shapes, in order to accommodate them to the bags for the different districts. Covers are at all times unsafe, un less they are well pasted as they issue from the news paper offices. Directing on tt spare place, and tying with string is the safest plan. Frequently a vast number of newspapers are found in the bags, the covers of which have been violated, either from im perfect folding or the hurr y - scurry of p ac ki ng thorn. On such occasions the persons who claim the forsaken news-sheets are guessed at by the sorters, and in order to pacify the Liberal politician or the rigid Conservative who may have objectionab le paper s sent them, the fol lowing missive is dispat ch eds balm, b ear i ng the signa ture of Colonel Maberly :—.Several newspaper s h av i ng escaped from their c overs in th e newspaper o ffi ce this morning, from the imperfect manner in which they were enclosed in them, they have been replaced as correctly as th e possible ]lasi the accom panyi ng paper m a y no t b e ntendou, I one originay.y beg to explain, that the inconve nie nce you may be s ubjected to has not been occasioned by this de p artm ent , Civil an d M ercan tile Journal.

The log book and papers were found, but no entry had been made from the previous Thursday. The fate of the crew has not been ascer tained, but it is feared all hands may have been lost.— Coleraine Chronicle. STOURBRIDGE —THE GLASS TRADE. --We regret to hear that the depression in this trade has occasioned the masters to discharge many of their men, a s , d ur i ng the last few weeks, they have not had a sufficient number of orders to employ them more than two or three days per week, and cannot continue to support the whole of them with that limited amount of employment without giving a part of them notice, which has thrown numbers from the various glass manufactories in this neighbourhood out of employ.—Birmingham JournaL COMMISSION or LUNACY.--Yesterday a Commis sion of Lunacy was opened at the Swan Tavern, High road, Walham-green, Fulham, before Mr. C omm i ss i oner Barlow and a jury composed of seventeen magistrates and freeholders of the county, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. John Wood Willie, a retired surgeon in the East India Company's service, late of Hollywood place, Fulham-road. and now an inmate of Kensington House Asylum, Kensington. Mr. Willie, who was present, handed in a protest, after which he left the room. Evidence was then gone into, and ultimately the inquiry was adjourned. THE UNIWED STATES. LIVERPOOL, DEc. 22.—The New York packet ship Fidelia, Captain Yeaton, after a remarkably short passage of fifteen days, arrived here this after noon. She has thirteen cabin passengers, including Colonel Sherbourne, bearer of dispatches ; and 60,000/. in gold on freight. Her news, which is only one day later than that .brought by the steamer, is not important, and adds nothing to the details noted in our report of the Caledonia's news. The following appears in a New York paper of the 16th ult.:— " By the arrival of the steamer Galveston at New Or leans we have via Vera Cruz, four days' later intelli gence from the city of Mexico. " Santa Anna was at Tehuacan. He had only a few hundred soldiers with him; this force mutinied for pay, and left him with only forty men. He then moved on towards Orizaba to meet his wife. " Colonel Childs had joined General Scott. " General Lane and his command were still at Puebla, where everything was quiet. " Nothing said about the movements of the Mexican Congress, or probabilities of peace. " Santa Fe was prosperous, and in a thriving condi tion. Merchants were doing a good business. The Americans were building new houses, and laying off plans for the improvement of the town. Hotels were opened, a paper printed, and lots, &c., advertised for sale. Large commissary trains were arriving almost daily." The commercial accounts from New York do not dif fer from those received per the Caledonia. The follow. ing are the reports of the country markets :- 44 CINCINNATI, Nov. 15, P.M. Flour—The market showed some increased degree of firmness, and sales of all kinds footed up about 7,000 barrels, at 4 dolls, to 4 dolls. 25c. to 4 dolls, 50c. " PITTSBURG, Nov. 15.—Flour—There was no change in the market, and prices stood the same as at the close on Saturday, 4 dolls. 81fe. to 4 dolls. 931 c. Wheat was firm at 93c. for good Pennsylvania, and Ohio with an upward tendency. " ALBANY, Nov. 15,—Flour—The market continued dull at 5 dolls. 87ic. to 6 dolls. for western brands, in cluding Oswego and Genessee. Sales were very limited. Receipts by the canal during the previous forty-eight hours were as follows :—Flour, 20,000 barrels ; corn, 15,300 bushels; barley, 43,600 bushels." IRELAND. MURDER or MR. LLOYD. Dusurr, Dxc. I.—The following is an extract from a letter written by a magistrate of Roscommon : " I was at Ballyglass yesterday, and, on my return found that the Rev. John Lloyd had been shot dead on his return from church about three o'clock, at the lands of Lisanella, between this house and Elphin. His carriage and family had passed on a little before him '• he was in a gig, with a sma ll b oy. T wo men came up to him, one having laid hold of the bridle, he asked did:they know him, or what they wanted. They answered they did know him well, and wanted to shoot him, and desired the boy to get out of the gig, which he refused. Poor Mr. Lloyd then desired him to do so, and one of the men pulled hisn out. Mr. Lloyd then said, Boys, if you want to shoot me, I'm here ; fire away ;' when they instantly shot him through the right side, and killed him on the spot. No one can form the least idea of what motive they could have had, a 3 he was always a kind, harmless man, and not in any way brought into hostile collusion with the people, to whom he has always been kind." DISSOLUTION OF ANOTRER BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The board of guardians of the Cavan Union was yesterday dissolved by the Poor-law Commissioners. A paid board will, of course, be forthwith appointed. DREADFUL MORTALITY ♦MONG SMALL FARMERS. In the Court of Chancery this day, Master Murphy called upon the receiver in the cause of O'Sullivan v. O'Sullivan to account, when that gentleman stated the appalling fact that during the last year " three hundred of the tenants had died and were interred in one trench." The receiver added that the holdings of those persons are now all unoceupied. The estate lies in the county of Cork. THE CORPORATION. A meeting of this bcdy was held to-day, for the discharge of some routine business. After its dis posal Mr. Gustavus Hamilton, a Conservative mem ber of the House, gave notice of motion that an humble address be presented to her Majesty to convene a meeting of the Imperial Parliament in the city of Dublin, once in every three years, and that her Ma jesty should be requested to direct her Ministers, if such a step should be necessary, to bring in a Bill for that purpose : and the Learned Gentleman further moved that, in case his motion received the affirmation of the corForation, he would submit that the Lord Mayor should proceed to London in state, accom panied by the civic officers and such members of the town council as wished to accompany him, to present the address to her Majesty in person. ARREST or SEVEN ROCKITES. - Sub-Inspector Morgan, with constable Connors, of the Lisduff sta tion, and a large police force, traversed the Glankit and Blakefield mountains, and succeeded in arresting seven notorious characters.

I.—Her Majesty's steam-tug Confiance, Jago master, was dispatched on Monday in search of the Lady Kennaway East Indiaman, abandoned in the Bay of Biscay, and subsequently taken in tow by a Danish schooner. The Alert sloop, 6, sailed yesterday for Lisbon, Ascension, and the coast of Africa. The Arabella, American liner, fr o m Li verpoo l f or Boston, put back yesterday leaky. Her Majesty's ship Asia, 84, flag of Admiral Phipps Hornby, sailed this morning for Madeira, Rio, and the Pacific. 'Wind southerly, very light. A PARDON—FOR NOTHING.—In October last a young woman, named Mary Ann Turford, was tried in the Central Criminal Court for stealing a watch. She was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprison ment at Brixton. The theft, it appears, was committed by another person. One James William Ward has been convicted of the same offence, of which, moreover, he has confessed himself the perpetrator. The innocence of the girl thus having been clearly esatablished, a re presentation of her case was made by Mr. Norton to the Under Secretary. Sir Denis Le Merchant, we are told, writes back, and says that Sir George Groy, taking into consideration the facts as set forth in Mr. Norton's communication, has recommended her Majesty's free pardon in the case of Mary Ann Turford. As a pardon means the forviveness of an offender, and Mary Ann Turford committed no offence, the propriety of the term as applied to the remission of her sentence, may be questioned. But this is a shallow cavil. A philosopher has said, that men have the greatest difficulty in forgiving those whom they have in jured. It is with the law as with mankind in general ; the law, therefore, has stretched a point in having forgiven Mary Ann Turford. To con sider that the order for her liberation should have been accompanied by any expression of regret—got to say by any compensation for her month's false imprisonment— is to be extremely ignorant of human nature—at least of Home-office humanity. Of course Mary Ann Tur ford may think herself very well off. She has received a pardon—for nothing.—Punch. SUICIDE IN DUBLIN.—A coroner's inquest was held in Dublin, on Monday, on the body of Mr. Richard Wall, bookkeeper to Messrs. Williams, stockbrokers, of Dame-street, who had been found with his throat cut in the water-closet of Messrs. Dame's offices. He had had lately several causes of irritation. His son had enlisted, some tenants had net paid rents, and be had committed an error of about 60/. in over-paying some one who . had transactions with his employer. On the floor of the water-closet was a piece of paper with the following inscription, in the deceased's handwrit ing:—" Worn down by misfortunes unparalleled, and unable to bear up against them, I can live no longer, and trust in the merciful Saviour that he will receive my soul. God look with pity on my wife—the best." Mr. Thomas Wil liams said the firm always placed the highest confi dence in Mr. Wall's integrity, and had never for a moment had reason to believe that their confidence had been misplaced. A verdict of'' Temporary insanity" was returned. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.--TWO non-com missioned officers and 44 privates of this branch of her Majesty's service left Woolwich yesterday for Chatham, to acquire a knowledge of fortification and mining works. The staff of the 18th company, which the strength of this force is to augment, is to be formed during the pre sent month. NATIONAL EDUCATION GENERAL EXAMINATION OF SCHOOLMASTERS WHO ARE CANDIDATES NOR CERTIFICATES AT EASTER. Committee of Council on Educ a tion, Council office, Whitehall, Nov. 25, 1847. Sir,—The Committee of Council hare before them applications under the minutes of August and Decem ber, 1846, from the trustees and managers of elemen tary schools in every county in England, on behalf of their teachers, requesting that they may bo admitted to an examination for the certificates of merit which are necessary to the enjoyment of augmentations of salary under those minutes. Their Lordships have reason to know that many other candid a t es on l y await the announcement of the per nod when the examination will occur, and of its chief conditions, ere they request of the trustees or managers of their schools to present their claims to be examined. Many of these candidates have for some time past been engaged in preparatory studies, and in some towns have been assisted by courses of instruction, established by the friends of education. It has therefore been deemed expedient not to precipitate the period of the general examination of teachers who have not been educated to training schools under inspection, but rather to allow such time for their preparatory studies and courses of instruction as to increase the number of candidates who will present themselves with confidence for examination. School managers have also suggested, that a period of school holidays should be selected for a general exa mination, in order that the candidates, who must be as sembled for ten days at some central place in the in spector's district, may attend without serious inconve. nience to their schools. For these reasons, the Lord-President directs me to inform you that the first general examination of the schoolmasters who are candidates for certificates will be held in Easter week, commencing on Monday, the 24th April, 1848, and extending to the middle of the follow ing week. Yeu are requested, in the interval, to ascertain at what town or place candidates in your district can be most conveniently assembled. The chief considerations to be borne in mind .in selecting this place, are the comparative facilities of access from all parts of your district ; the arrangements which, with the aid of persons desirous to promote the comfort of the schoolmasters, can be made for their lodging during the period of the examination, the ac cemmodation which you can procure for the daily assembling of the candidates, and the existence of an elementary school, the organization, discipline, and in struction of which render it a fit place for the trial of the skill of the candidate in conducting a class. When these arrangements have been reported for their Lordships' approval, you will be authorised to announce in the county papers of your district the time and place appointed for the examination, together with such other information as may be useful to the candidate. Meanwhile it may be desirable that you should ex plain to all persons interested in this general examina tion, that it is a necessary preliminary to the admission of any candidate to it, that the trustees or managers of his sehool should apply to the committee of council on his behalf, and should fill up certain forms of inquiry, which will be transmitted to them from this office in reply to their application. The examination of the candidates will extend to the subjects contained in the first of the two following schedules. The second schedule contains other subjects, to which, on the application of a candidate for the middle or highest class certificate, the examination may be extended. This latter schedule is intended to afford candidates an opportunity to prove the range of their acquirements, on subjects on which they will not be required to be examined for the third or lowest class certificate.

KAY SHUTTLEWORTIL PARISH OF LAMBETH AND THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Yesterday morning a vestry meeting was held at, the Vestry-hall, Church-street, Lambeth, for the pur pose of taking into consideration measures which should put a stop to the present proceedings of the South-Western Railway Company in erecting a bridge over Church-street, the pier of which would stand right in the centre of the carriage way, dividing the road into two parts. Mr. NixoN, the Chairman, regretted that the parochial authorities had not paid attention to the proceedings of the company before, but it was now quite time to stop them. Mr. Hicas, in proposing the first resolution, adverted to the fact of the road being one of the finest in the parish, and of its being included in the Government scheme of metropolitan improve ments as the approach to the contemplated bridge over the Thames. The carriage way was originally 38 feet wide, but it was now divided by a pier, on one side of which the carriage way was 16 feet, and on the other 18 feet .5 inches. By the Act of the company they were compelled to cross the road with an arch of 60 feet span ; and by the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act every turnpike road crossed was to be crossed at a span of not less than 3.5 feet. This was a turnpike road at the time of the passing of the Act. It would be very easy to cross the road by a single arch span, supported on pillars, leaving smaller arches for the footways, as at Bermondsey-street. He moved, " That the churchwardens be instructed to apply to the Court of Chancery for an injunction to restrain the company from any further proceedings in the present bridge.' He would wish to know what the board of surveyors of highways had been about to permit such a thing to be commenced at all. Several gentlemen on the part of the board of surveyors stated, that they had given no definite consent to the plan, which, however, appeared to them to be the beat proposed. When they spoke of crossing the road at a single span, Mr. Locke, the engineer to the com pany, said that he would not answer for the safety of passengers travelling over such an arch, especially after the experience they had lately had in reference to iron bridges. The Archbishop of Canterbury, to whose palace the road was the only approach for carriages, had seen the plan, and had not objected to it. The company had also built the piers of the bridge, and had all the cast-iron frames ready. Some discussion then arose as to the fact of the bridge being laid down on the plan, as crossing the road at right angles, giving a way of 46 . feet—when it crossed it o bli que ly and gave a waytrot only 33 feet. It was a t l eng th determined t omm o it a the effect of pa c ifi c measure s at first, and a was appointed to act with the board ofsur e veyors in , representing the case to the company, and inducing them to construct a new bridge ; the railway corn pany to be requested to suspend all further operations until the result of the negotiation became known. It was then agreed that the vestry should meet that day week, to decide upon the other steps to be taken in case the company should not accede to their request. On the night of the 22d ult. a most ferocious and unprovoked attack was made by nine poachers upon two of the keepers of Philip Bennet, Esq., at Itoughatn, who were most severely beaten, and a cowardly ruffian presented his gun at one of the men as he was lying in nearly a senseless state, and threatened to shoot him ; but was dissuaded by another of the gang. Unfortu nately none of them are known ; but a large reward is offered for their discovery. —Bury Post. DEAT H or DR.

The following is an extract from a private letter. 'ated Sierra Leone, October 6, 1847 : "On th e 2 2 d of July last her Majesty's ship terwitch, with her Majesty's ship Rapid in corn ,,ar.ly, c aptured th e B raz ili an b rigantine Romeo char t rimer°, whi c h was subsequently given in ge Lieutenant 'IV. G. Mansfield, R.N., and f seamen, to be conveyed to St. Helena adjudication. Owing to adverse winds, and the unmanageable qualities •f the prize, the officer in command found it necessar to y alter his destinati on , and to bear up f o r thi s p l ace . On the Ilth of August, about mid-day, tof the crew being engaged aloft and the other wo s in the bunks, where the arm s were stowed, the Lieutenant being at the moment pulling a rope which had been recently spliced, was murderously assailed from behind by one of the prisoners (who were four in number, and during the day time allowed the liberty of the vessel) with an axe used for chopping firewood. At the same moment the other prisoners furiously attacked the sailors in the bunks, who, from the unexpected na ture of the assault, were driven from their post wounded and unarmed. Lieutenant Mansfield, laying hold of a piece of firewood, gallantly, but unequally, contended with a Brazilian armed with a cutlass; in the course of a desperate struggle the officer received no fewer than nine wounds, more or less severe, in the head, arms, and abdomen; a great coat which he wore being, under Providence, the means of saving him from instant death. The two sailors who had been occupied in the shrouds having reached the deck, of course unarmed, the lieutenant, nearly exhausted by profuse haemorrhage, made a violent effort to join them, in which he fortunately proved successful, though in his progress one of the prisoners discharged at him a marine's musket, the contents of which took effect, inflicting a most dangerous wound on his head, and bringing him for an instant to the ground. Having succeeded in recovering his feet, and gaining his men, he encouraged them to rush aft upon their armed antagonists, a piece of service which three of their number performed in the most daring manner ; the fourth seaman (since dead) being hors de combat by his wounds, and the lieutenant himself fainting at the instant from loss of blood. The intre pidity of the three British tars rendered them more than a match for their armed antagonists, whom they speedily overpowered, one of the prisoners leNs• ing overboard, and perishing in the waves. Believing their officer to be killed, the seamen, in the excite ment of the moment, were about to hurl the surviving prisoners over the gangway, when Lieutenant Mans field, partially reviving, .ordered them to be im prisoned, that their wounds should be washed, and that they should be reserved to be dealt with by the authorities here. On the Ist Sept., the Romeo Primero, the scene of this bloody encounter, entered our port. Lieut. Mansfield, who since the day of COit• flict had scarcely been able to stir hand or foot, was promptly conveyed to sick quarters, and for many days his life was entirely despaired of by his medics/ attendants. The gallant little crew, all wounded, were also looked after in the best manner which skill and sympathy could suggest ; but, alas I two of them were soon removed beyond the reach of human succour, one dying of the direct consequences of his wounds, and the second of fever induced by them. After a fortnight of extreme danger on shore, Lieu. tenant Mansfield's powerful constitution showed symp toms of triumphing over his injuries, and be is now so far convalescent as to justify sanguine hopes of his complete restoration. Yester day the Brazilian prisoners were brought to trial before the Chief Justine, his honour Chief Jus tice Pine, and assistant-judges Heddle and Lennon, on charges of piracy, and attempt to murder Lieu tenant W. G. Mansfield, R.N. and others. On the indictment being read, several preliminary: ob jections were' taken ' on the: part of the prisoners by the Spanish Consul, as the only representative of a foreign country in the colony. The Court, after some consultation, declared the following objection fatal to the proceedings :—' That the alleged crime had been committed in an attempt to recapture their own vessel, then under the Brazilian flag, and not amenable to British jurisdiction, the sentence of a Court of Admiralty not having been then pronounced.' His Honour, in announcing the decision of the Court, said, that the case being thus shut out from an investigation on its merits, he felt called upon to state that, having read attentively all the depositions connected with it, he considered the conduct of the prize officer to have been marked throughout the trying circumstances by most praiseworthy courage and forbearance. The prisoners were then discharged. The brigantine has been condemned by the Admiralty Court as a slaver." COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a court was held for the dispatch of public business, The greater part of the day was occupied with discussions relative to the purchase of a small piece of ground belonging to Messrs Morley, of Wood -street, about which there had been some negoti .tion. After a variety of amendments, it was determined to keep open the negotiation. It appeared to be the opinion of some of the members, that the traffic of Cheapside would be considerably eased by the appropriation of the ground to the purposes of widening the thoroughfare of Wood street, while others thought that the advantage to the public would not be proportioned to the sum required by the proprietors. Upon the motion of Mr. R. L. JONES, the committee appointed respecting the city's right to the soil and bed o f the river Thames, was dissolved, and the business of that committee was transferred to the consolidated com mittee. THE ROYAL HOSPITALS. Mr. LOTT brought up the report of the Charity Com missioners and the privileges of the corporation respect ing the Royal hospitals, &c., to which ho particularly called the attention of the Court. The report was ordered to be printed. Adjourned. COTTON FROM SOUTH AYRICA.—We have been favoured with the subjoined extract of a letter just re ceived from Port Natal, giving a favourable account of the soil and climate of that colony for the growth of cotton. The great difficulty in the way of an extension of the cultivation will be a deficiency of labour:—" I am sorry to say, that in consequence of the unprecedented wet weather last season, the cotton crop from the young trees is small, and much damaged; that from the old and transplanted trees, from its ripening much earlier, is very good. Late last season I planted a small quantity of imported American black seed, the produce of which appears very superior in colour, fineness, and length of staple. This season I shall plant about five acres of it, to give it a fair trial; but I fear the seed is almost too old. One great advantage we have over the Amer-- , cans,—the cotton plant here produces several years in succession. The other day 1 compared the produce of a six-year old tree with that of a one-year old, and could not distinguish between them. I have lately pur chased 3,000 acres of land on the Omgani River (adjoin ing the upper part of my old farm) another near Mau ritzberg of 9,000 acres. The latter contains abundance of water and valuable timber. I have lots of labourers just now, but they are not to be depended upon, as many of them hire themselves for six or twelve months, and bolt at the end of the first; so that until the ' Masters' and Servants' Ordinance' is passed, and proper laws esta blished, little can be done."—Manchester Guardian. FACTORIES.—The following statement of mills working and stopped, &c., may be relied on as correct. In the power-loom weaving department only four mills are working full time, thirty-six are working from four to eight hours per day, and not less than sixteen are entirely closed. 2,200 power-loom weavers, and 200 dressers and tenters, are at present on the unemployed list. In the cotton-spinning department two mills are stopped, four are on full time, while all the others—a very large number in Glasgow and neighbourhood, and employing numerous hands—are working short !time.— Glassiew Argus. THE LATE MURDER IN MADRID.—A correspon dent in Madrid, in his letter of the 25th ult., writes— "lt seems, that a native of Valencia was arrested the day before yesterday, as he was leaving for that place in the Madrid diligence.
