" Sir,—ln the sixth volume of The Consulate and the Empire, M. Thiers has portrayed with extreme inaccu racy and indiscretion the character of Marshal Koutou soff, Prince of Smolensk. As a lineal descendant, and, the nearest relation of the deceased marshal, I owe it to his memory, and to myself, formally to contradict the aspersions in question. " M. Thiers,represents the marshal as di s . solute,' and avaricious.' " Indolent!' Why, while yet a stripling, he entered the military service of his country, and during three consecutive reigns took part in every Russian campaign. By turns he was Civil Administrator, Ambassador, and Commander-in-Chief of the land forces of the empire. It is passing incredible that a man who led so toilsome a life, and filled suc h p osts, could be'indolent.' "'Dissolute!' Never in Russia was such an accusation breathed against the venerable and exemplary Prince of Smolensk, and the perusal of the page in M. Thiers' history in which it cceurs would there excite general indignation. The respect of a great nation is, methinks, an ample refutation of the libel of the sp) " whose state ments M. Tbiers has hastily adopted. " Avaricious!' The fortune left by the marshal at his daath was inadequate to support his children at all de cently in their sphere of life. Truth and gratitude impel me to add that Imperial munificence came to their aid. His Majesty, our present Emperor, has generously bestowed his bounties upon the children of a veteran general on whom had been heaped the highest honours of the empire. " The marshal died in 1813 at the head of the victorious army which delivered Russia from a formidable invasion. His obsequies were solemnized at St. Petersburg. On that occasion the national feeling of respect and attach ment to the departed hero was manifested in a striking manner. The populace insisted on dragging the funeral car. The marshal's loss was deplored by all ranks, and the Emperor Alexander wrote to the widow of the Prince of Smolensk, I mingle my tears with yours, and with those of the whole nation.' " The letter which contains these words is highly prized, and carefully preserved by the family to which I have the honour to belong. - " I am, &c. " P. DE TOLSTOY." * The spy alluded to is the French renegade Langeron. SALE OF RARE Boorcs.—An important sale of rare • books and manuscripts was commenced on Friday last at Messrs. Sotheby's auction-rooms, Wellington-street. The books form a portion of the library of J. Wilkes, Esq., of Finsbury -square, and a re di v id e d i nto nearly 3,000 lota. Among the lots acid on Saturday were the Biblia Sacra La. tins, or first edition of the Holy Scriptures, in three volumes, without name of printer, place, or date, bat attributed to the press of Gutenberg, at Mentz, between the years 1450-55. This edition is known by the name of the Mazarine Bible, from the discovery of a copy in the library of Cardinal Mazarine. It is printed in double columns, in imitation of the large letters used by the scribes of the period in writing the church missals and choir hooks, and although in existence for nearly four centuries, appears as clean as if it had been but recently issued from the press. Only eighteen copies of this splendid work are known to exist—fourteen upon paper, and four upon vellum: one of the latter has recently been added to the British Museum, through the bequest of the late Right Hon. T. Grenville. This copy formerly belonged to George Hibbert, Esq. The first offer for this rare book was 200 guineas ; and eventually it was knocked down for 5001 to Messrs. Wiley and Putnam, the American booksellers, its destination being the American Museum, at Washington. " Psalteri um D av idi s ," a most beautiful manuscript upon vellum, executed for the Earl of Lincoln in 1410, was, after a spirited competition be-. tween Sir F. Madden, on behalf of the British Museum, and Mr. Rodd, knocked down to the latter for 210/. Biblia Pauperum Germanice," a block book of forty engraved pages in small folio, worked off in black ink coloured, Nordlingse, 1470, fetched 110/. Apocalypse de St. Jean, a manuscript upon vellum, of the 14th century, containing 78 large miniatures, sold for 60 guineas. Psalterium Davidis, &c., an illustrated manu. script upon vellum, of the 13th century, sold for 641. Biblia Sacra Latina , first edition of the Bible printed at Paris in 1476, sold fur 50/. Vetus et Novum Testamentum Latinism„ &c., printed upon vellum, at Venice, in 1487, sold for 591. 10s. Apocalypsis Sancti Johannis, 48 pages, but wanting the 45th page ; this, although imperfect, fetched 471., &c., &c. Yester.. day this sale was continued at Messrs. Sotheby's. The fol.. lowing were among the lots sold :—Ciceronis Officia Para. doxa et Versus XII. Sapient= ; first edition, printel upon vellum by J. Fust at Mentz in the year 1465— bought by Sir Thomas Philips for 3001. " Christine of Pysa, the Fayttes of Armes and of Chivalrye ;" printed by William Caxton in 1489—sold for 54/. This copy was imperfect, the two first leaves being supplied by fec-similies; a perfect copy sold some time back produced the large sum of 336/. Cato (Dion), " The booke called Caton whiche I presente to the Cyte of London, Wm. Caxton, Thabbay of '4Vestmynstre, the Fyrst yere of Kynge Rycharde the Thyrde, 1483" —sold for 231. ss. In 1815 this copy sold for 51/. Os., the falling off in value being accounted for by the loss of two leaves in sheet E. "The forme and manner of makyng Archebishoppes, Priestes and Deacons;" a small black-letter tract, printed by Richard Grafton in 1549—501 d for 151. The other lots fetched good prices. - THE DEAD ALIVE.—Our readers will probably recollect that, about eight or ten weeks ago, we gave an ac count of a suicide committed by a female, in the water above Hutcheiontown Bridge, and of the recovery of the body a few days afterwards somewhere near Govan. The wife of a dyer, residing in llutchesontown, but who was sepa rated from her husband some years ago, on account of her intemperate habits, disappeared about the same time, and the body, when discovered, answered the description of the dyer's wife so well, that he immediately applied to a friendly society of which he is a member, and obtained the allowance (41.) to bury his supposed wife, which he did with every due solemnity. Although a staunch teetotaller. he was so overjoyed at getting rid of one who was a thorn in his side for s.) long a time, that he even broke his pledge, and has been in the habit of taking little drops occasionally since. But, alas! this happy slate of things must come to an end. On Monday last, whilst sitting comfortably at his dinner, who bounced in upon him but his own identical spouse, whom he buried, as he supposed, eight weeks ago. The consternation which so unwelcome a guest caused is easier imagined than described. The housekeeper fainted, and it was with some difficulty she was brought to, and the husband's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets ; however, in a short time, order was restored, and after a little explanation from this visitant from the invisible world they recovered from their panic. It ap pears, that instead of throwing herself into the Clyde, as was supposed, she repaired to a neighbouring town, where she remained until the date of her re-appearance. The unfoi tunate husband sorely laments his loss, as he must now re fund the 41. which he obtained to bury her.—Glasgow Post. ARMED MAIL PACRETS.—The Board of Admi ralty have entered into a contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company for armed mail steamers to the following places :—Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, to sail. 7th, 17th, and 27th of each month from Southampton ; penalty for breach of contract, 10,000/. ; the contract is for 20,5001, For India and China monthly —Five packets to leave Southampton on this service - penalty for non-performance 35,000/. ; terms of contract, 160,0001. per annum.

In all four teen steamers, 'ten of 400 horse-power and upwards, the remaining tour of 200 horse-power. The contracts altogether amount to 240,000/., and the penalties to 50,0001. The con tract for India and China terminates in January, 1853, when by twelve months' notice on either side the contracts may cease. LEWES ELECTION..--LEWES, MONDAY.—This elec tion is fixed for Wednesday next. An active cane - ass has been going on for the last two or three days, but this after noon Captain Lyon, the protectionist candidate, issued an address announcing his intention of retiring from the eon_ test, so that Mr. Perfect, the Liberal, will have nothing to do but walk over the course. BRITISH ScuooLs.--The annual meeting of the above schools took place last evening in the School-rooms, Hart-street, Covent-garden. The Ilonourable and Rev. Lord William Russell presided, and was supported by the Hon. Montagu Villiers, A.M., Charles Hi n dl e y, E sq. , M . P ., Rev. Dr. Cumming, a deputation from the British and Foreign School Society, and many other Reverend Gentlemen. The secretary's report set forth that these schools had been esta blished for forty rears, during Which time they had struggled through great difficulties, until at length they were in a fair road to success. The support the committee had met with from the Duke of Bedford had been the main cause of their present flourishing condition. A large debt that bad been incurred was partly paid off by that Noble Duke. The treasurer's report showed the institution to be in a very safe condition. Several resolutions were passed pledging the com mittee to future exertion, and the report having been re ceived, the meeting, which was very fully attended, broke up.

A quarrel arose in consequence of the de ceased blaming one of the company for knocking a jug of ale over, and two or three rounds were fought in the house between him and Robert Weaver, but it would appear that the deceased, who, it was stated, was very drunk, was not then hurt, and the quarrel ultimately became one be tween the deceased and William Evans, in console quence of the latter taking the part of Weaver, and they left the house for the purpose of fighting. Three rounds were fought in the road opposite the house, in each of which Harper was knocked down by Evans, and when hit the last time he was rendered insensible, and unable to get up. William Harris seconded the deceased, and Isaac Hadley backed Evans. After the deceased was knocked down the third time, Harris and Evans fought, and it appears that. the deceased was left lying in the road, little or no attention being given to him, one of the witnesses stating that he saw him lying under a window, quite dead and cold, about half an hour after the fight. A post m or t em examination of the body was made by Air. Edwards, surgeon, who stated tha t he found a bruise upon the r eg i on o f the stomach, and that congestive apoplexy of the b ra i n appeared to be the cause of death, which a blow upon the stomach would produce.

In consequence of the distinguished patronage bestowed on the Bal Masque of the 25th ult., the Proprietor of the above splendid and aristocratic establishment begs to announce a second Grand Masquerade Ball To-Nnlirr, the 16th inst., by subscription. To convey an idea in which this fete will be conducted, the following is a brief outline:—The whole suite of the magnificent Saloons, acknow eged to be the most costly In the world, will be thrown open on the occasion, their massive decorations of burnished gold, rendered more dazzlingly brilliant by the addition of myriads of light so arranged as to produce the effect of a scene of perfect enchantment, equalled only in the florid descriptions of the most fairy-like scenes, but in this instance realized to the senses. The Band, considerably augmented, will perform the most Fashionable Quadrilles, Waltzes, and Polkas, and be conducted by Monsieur Dubreuil,—the acknowledged supe riority of the Band of this famed temple is proverbial. Tho wines will be supplied in every variety, and of the choicest character. "The nectar of old, quaff 'd by God's as we're told, And dubb'd by the poet's divine ; Is now called Champagne, and the reason Is plain Champagne's the divinest of wine. To us mortals below, 'tie fit we should know, Where this may be put to the teat, On the night of the masque, you've only to ask, There's the choicest as well as the best." The Supper will be provided in the Lower saloons, and thrown open at One o'clock precisely, profusely supplied with every con ceivable delicacy.

In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects arc surprising, and in the ad. venced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

RAILWAY BILLS. REPORT of the COMMISSIONERS of RAILWAYS on certain RAILWAY BILLS comprised in Groups Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. By the first of the above Bills, the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company are desirous to obtain powers to construct a railway from a point on their present line near Ipswich to Woodbridge, and to increase their capital by 200,0001., and to borrow 66,666/. for that purpose. This Bill is comprised in Group 10. By the second, the same company would obtain power to construct a Branch Railway from Btowmarket to Sudbury, and to raise 360,0004 and to borrow 120,000/. for that pur pose. This Bill is comprised in Group 11. By the third, to raise 350,0004 and to borrow 116,666/. for the construction of a railway from Bury St. Edmund's to Newmarket and Ely ; and by , the fourth, to raise 180,000/, and to borrow 120,0001. for an Extension of their railway to Thetford. The excess of amount proposed to be borrowed beyond the proportion allowed by the standing orders, is stated to have been an accidental error in preparing the Bill, which it is the intention of the company to correct, by re ducing the amount to be borrowed from 120,000/. to 60,000/. By the two Bills, therefore, comprised in Group 12 the com pany would be empowered to raise a capital of 530,0001., and to borrow 236,666/., or (should the Bill be corrected as proposed) 176,666/. By the fifth, it is proposed to raise 460,000!., and to borrow 153,3331. for the purpose of making a railway from the Norwich Extension Line to Yarmouth. This Bill is comprised in Group 13. By the sixth, it is proposed to raise 100,0001,and to borrow 33,3331., for the continuation of a. railway from Aylsham to North Viralsham; and by the wreath, or last, to make a railway from Norwich to join a railway from Dereham to. Wells, with a branch to Aylsham; and to raise 500,0004 and to borrow 166,666!. for the purpose. By the two Bills, therefore, comprised in Group 14 power is taken to raise a capital of 600,001., and to borrow 199, 99 9/ By these Bills the Bury St:Edmund's Railway Company proposes to obtain power to increase their capital by . 2,150,0001., and to borrow 716,664!. (assuming the fourth of the above-named Bills, on No. 8 in the Appendix, to be cor rected); and by another Bill before Parliament, which will be again alluded to in another report, they propose to obtain power to amalgamate with the Eastern Union Railway Company. The Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company was incorpo rated by an Act passed in 1845, and by that Act was enabled to raise a capital of 400,000!., and to borrow 133,333/. By another Act, passed in the last session, the company was further authorised to raise 550,0001., and to borrow 183,333/. Under these two Acts power has been obtained to raise a capital of 950,0004 and to borrow 316,666/., or to employ, altogether, upon their works, 1,266,666/. The share capital has been created by the issue of 16,000 shares of 251. each, under the Act of 1845, and by the issue of 22,000 of the same value, under the Act of last session. On those first issued, calls to the extent of 14/. per share, er for 224,0001., have been made, and 204,3051. received. On the shares last issued, 51. per share, or 110,0004 have been called, and 91,7071. 10s. received; the difference in each case being the arrears in the payments on the calls. The whole amount called up is therefore 334,0011/. No money has been borrowed under the Act of 1846, but this power has been employed to its full extent in the Act of 1845. The money has been borrowed at five per cent. in terest on debentures, varying in value from 1,000/. to 5,0001., but a few being of smaller value, A part of these securities, to the amount of 61,9431., will expire in January, 1850, 2,0001. in 1851, 59,090/. in 1852, and the remainder in 1855. The shareholders have authorised the directors to create new shares for the payment of the loans. The company has at present power to call up 616,000!. on the shares, and to borrow 183,333!., or to employ altogether 799,3331. on the works in progress, and this, it is stated, will be fully required for them. No nominal additions have been made to the capital of this company; nor has it subscribed to any other company, nor made any guarantee, nor bought, nor sold, nor taken a lease of any other railway, nor amalgamated with any other company ; but by the Act obtained in 1846, it has powers either to sell or let the Ipswich and Bury St Edmund's Rail way to the Eastern Union Railway Company; and for an amalgamation with that company, as before stated, a Bill is now before Parliament. The Chairman also of this company concluded, in December, 1845, an agreement with the trustees of the Stowmarket Navigation, for a lease of • the Naviga tion, and this agreement was confirmed by a general meeting of the proprietors of the railway in January, 1846. Under that agreement it was arranged that each party should apply to Parliament for powers to carry the agreement into effect, and until these powers were obtained, it was arranged, among other temporay provisions, that the tolls of the Navigation should be regulated by the railway company. In the last session the trustees obtained power to let the Navigation, and also for the lessees to exercise the provisions of the Navigation Acts; but the railway company did not obtain, by any Act of their own, the power to take the lease, although they in serted a clause for this purpose in their Bill of last session, when originally introduced. It is, however, considered by the company that no further powers are necessary, and the lease either has been, or is about to be concluded. The Commissioners of Railways, in reporting this transaction to the House of Commons, feel it to be their duty to call at tention to the circumstances under which this interference has taken place with the tolls of a navigation by a railway company. The subscription contracts for these Bills, deposited in compliance with the standing orders, have no signatures attached to them, except those of 13 directors of the com pany. The amount of these subscription contracts is 1,612.5001., so that each director has on an average signed for 124,000/. It is admitted that these directors have not signed on their own account, but only on behalf of the company, and with a distinct understanding among themselves that they are never to be called upon for any portion of their sub scriptions, and that the proposed new works are not to pro ceed unless the funds can be procured from other sources. It is also stated that the deposits required by the standing orders were paid out of the funds of the company. The Commissioners have already, in their report on the Bills of the South. Eastern Railway Company,remarked upon this mode of proceeding as a manifest evasion of the intentions of Parliament, and they have expressed their opinion that means ought to be taken to put an end to such practices in future. It will be for Parliament to determine how far the adoption of a course which may be supposed to have received the tacit permission of the House of Commons, should pre judice the promoters of a Bill, in any instance in which" the circumstances of the case aflord a fair guarantee for the bond fide character of the scheme, as well as for the c om p letion of the proposed works. The Commissioners, however, feel it to be their duty to call the special attention of the House of Commons to the extent which in the present cue this prac tice has been carried. The company were by their former Acts empowered to raise a capital of 950,0004 and to borrow 316,6661. ; they have at present actually raised 296,0121. 103., and borrowed 133,3331. The line from Ipswich to Bury was only opened for passengers at Christmas last, and no other part of the work being completed, they are unable to make a declaration of surplus profits. Under these circumstances they seek powers from Parliament in the present session to raise an additional capital of 2,150,0001., and loans to the amount of 716,6641., making together 2,866,6641., a sum little short of ten times the amount of capital which the shareholders have at present contributed towards the hitherto incomplete undertaking authorised by their former Acts ; The only guarantee whi c h t h ey o ff er for the compleonoo their new and more exten s i ve sc h emes is a subscript ion by the directors themselves, f or a sum w hich they state t hey have subscribed solely on behalf of the company' In addition to the important considerations regarding the interests of the public which are suggested by such a pro posal, the interests of the present creditors of the company appear to be very materially concern ed in it. _T ar .l4eY ai : ve ent, lent their money under the sa nc ti on o f an Act of P arliament, on the security of a comparatively limited under ; taking but by the present proposal they evidently woul d find that security involved with undertakings of a much more exten sive character, which, of course, could not have been contem platedln by them at the time when they their money on the credit of the original works. For preovtkling the means and guarantee is of completing these larger works no adequa te yet on the offered by the proposed subscription con tract , successful completion of them the validity of their security must essentially depend. By order of the Commissioners of Railways, FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE, Secretary. REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF RAILWAYS ON GR X By the first of these Acts the Newmarket and Chesterford Railway Company would be empowered to increase their capital by 475,0004 and to borrow 158,333/. By the second, to increase their capital by 425,000!., and to b0rr0w.141,66 61 . The third Bill Is only intended to repeal a clause in the s f oo former Act of this company, by which the- mutual and the to u the Newmarket and Chesterford Rail way Eastern Counties Railway is given to their respective companies. This Bil l ill . is not promoted by the Newmarket and Chesterford Coand would not confer any powers for raising money. Under the two former Bills the Newmarket and Chester ford Railway Company would be enabled to ra i se an ad ditional capita l o f 900,000 !., and to borrow 299,9994 or to apply a further sum of 1,199,999 1 . to railway undertakings. This incorporated an Act to rpaaissseeda capitalin—t This companythe last session of Parliament, and authorised of 350,0001., and to borrow 116,6661. 13s. 4d. The share capital has been created by the issue of 14,000 shares, of 251. each, on which a deposi t of 2/. 12 s . was paid; and two calls, one of 2/. Bs., the ot her of 5/., have b een made; the whole amount de manded from the shareholders b e i ng 10 per share, or 140,000 L, the sum received is 1 08,3001., the ar rears on the calls amounting to 31,7001. Mt per share, or 210,000/., remain to be called; and as no money has been borrowed, 326,666/. may be considered available for the works in progress. No nominal additions have been made to the capital stock; no guarantee given to other companies; no leases, sales, or purchases of other lines effected; nor has the com pany power to make any. Each of the Bills for w hich the c ompany has applied in the present session contains a clause empowering the Eastern Counties Railway Company to take a lease of the line to which the Bill applies; and by one of the Bills the same company would be empowered to subscribe towards the un dertaking. But as the Eastern Counties Railway Company have notified their desire t ha t t hese clauses should be with drawn, drawn, and the Newmarket and Chesterford Railway Com pany have stated in their returns that they shall be with drawn, it will not be necessary for any report on the p owers which have been given by former Acts to the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company to be in the hands of the Committee to which these Bills are referred. Re g ular subscription contracts have been deposited for the Bills in question, and no signatures have been affixed to those contracts, or to those of any other Bill now before Par liament by the directors, or other persons, on behalf of this company.

IMMENSE DRAUGHT OF MACKEREL.--Yesterday (Thursday) morning, one of the Hastings Fishing Luggers, which frequent this port during the season, enclosed s o l arge a quantity of Mackerel, that in order to prevent the nets being dragged away, the crew were obliged to have the assistance of another boat. The nets of which were placed so as to surround the others, and by this means the two strings succeeded in securing upwards of 40,000 Mackerel, besides a large number which escaped prior to the assistance of the second boat.

PRICE SD. PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. SITTING OF MARCII 8. M. C. Combes read a paper on the means of destroying thoroughly or partially the influence of what he calls the espace nuisible in steam-engines. The espace nuisible is the space which necessarily exists between the piston when it arrives at the extremity of its curve, the bottom of the cylinder, and the opening for the emission of the steam. The space is always filled with steam at the same degree of tension as that which exists in the portion of the cylinder situated on the sameside with relation to the piston. The plan proposed by M. Combes is to be examined by a com mittee charged to make a report upon it. M. Flourens made another communication relative to ex periments on animals with ether, but it does not add any fact of importance to what has already been stated. M. Roux also communicated the results of some experi ments with the inhalation of ether on patients. lie states that in some cases the patients lose the equilibrium of mo tion without the slightest disturbance of the intellect, and that the suffocation from ether differs from all other, and particularly from that caused by the vapours of char coal, in which the blood, completely deprived of its oxygen, i 3 black, whereas, with all the persons whom he had etherised, the arterial and venous blood retained the natural colour. The blood, however, according to MM. Lenoir Yoil. lemier, and many other surgeons, has greater fluidity than when in its normal state. M. Jacques Cardan gave an account of some serious re sults from the administration of ether to females in a state of pregnancy. He considers it highly improper to etherise females when in this condition. M. Bouchut made a statement relative to the pretended discovery of the means of ascertaining real from apparent death by burning. It has been asserted that if life be in the body a burn of the second degree will cause a blister to rise, whereas no blister can be raised by this means upon a corpse. M. Bouchut states that he tried the experiment upon four dead bodies, and produced blisters precisely similar to what would have been raised by the same means upon living sub jects. M. Bouchut thus confirms the experiments already made, and with similar results, by several other surgeons. He proposes, as the best means of ascertaining whether life be extinct or not, a prolonged ausculation of the region of the heart ; but he does not pretend that this alone is con clusive. "There were several other communications read at this sit ting, but they were not of a nature to interest the public. WILFUL FIRE-RAISING:An important CILSO Of wilful fire-raising was brought before the High Court of Justiciary,'.Edinburgh, on Monday last, against John Adams, smaliware dealer, &c., who occupied a shop at the Cross of Glasgow, immediately adjoining the Cross Steeple. It ap peared that Adams had insured the goods in his shop for 4001., and within a few days after getting possession of the policy he put the greater part of the goods away out of the shop, and subsequently sent them to Liverpool ; and upon the very day that the goods were shipped for that port the fire took place. Luckily, when it was discovered (which was late on a Saturday night), Mr. Robertson, the superin tendent of fire-engines, who happened, to be near the spot, broke open the back-door, and got the fire immediately ex tinguished, just in time to show the amount of goods in the premises, which consisted principally of a few coarse cotton goods strung on wires throughout the whole premises. The goods were traced to Liverpool and brought back ; and Adams was committed for wilful fire-raising. Upon being brought to trial on Monday last he pleaded guilty to the minor charge of " attempt at wilful fire-raising," which the Court accepted. The sentence was delayed from Monday till Friday, in order that the judges might have time to con sult as to the amount of Punishment to be awarded. Adams was brought up yesterday morning, and, after a severe ad monition from the judges, sentenced to seven years' trans portation.—Edinburgh Paper of Saturday. _ THE LATE Mx.Mx. WILLIAM CLowEs.—The stock in trade and personal property of this very celebrated printer has been valued at 90,0004 With the exception of a few bequest's, viz., to his executors, and to his friend and old as sistant, Mr. D. Phipps, and to his servants, he disposes of the whole of his property amongst his eight children in certain proportions, and the residue equally amongst them. To his sons, William and George, he,leaves the business, stock, and materials, the steam-engines and apparatus, printing ma chines and presses, type, machinery, and foundry, and the premises both at Charing-cross and Duke-street, Stamford street, the latter, perhaps, the largest of the kind in Europe; and as a compensation to his son Edward for not having a share in the business, he leaves him 6,0001. and an annuity of 4001. His private library of books he leaves to his sons, Winchester and Edward, and daughter Ann. The plate to his four daughters, for each of whom he has made a liberal provision. He executed his will in December, 1845, and ap pointed as executors Mr. James Duncan, late of Paternoster row, and Mr. Daniel Nash, of 61, Strand, his son-in-law, in conjunction with his sons, William and George. The de ceased was in his 68th year, and was a native of Chichester, in which town he -served his apprenticeship to the trade; upon its completion he came to London and started for him self, with limited means, and by unremitting attention and perseverance raised those extensive establishments. It was most approprititely termed of him, in the record of his death, that he had been " the architect of his own for tune." HOTEL AND TAVERN-R,EEPERS' PROVIDENT INSTI- Tunos.—The eighth annual meeting of the members of the above institution was held yesterday, at the Craven Hate!, Strand. Mr. Clark, late Mayor of Windsor, having taken the chair, the secretary read the report, which stated that the large increase in the subscriptions and donations, during the past year, had now completed the sum required by the rules of the institution, before giving temporary relief to its members. The balance at the last audit was Gs. 7d.; the subscriptions and donations amounted to 1,0501. Bs. 5d.; the dividend to 1551. 15s. Gd. ; making a total of 1,20E1. Bs. ad. The suns of 855/. 15s. had been invested during the past year, which, added to the original funded capital, amounted to 4,176/. 16s. 10d. After deducting expenses, which amounted to 1001. Os. 2d., there remained the suns of 238/. :k 2d. to be funded; which sum completed the 5,000/. required befoie they could commence giving temporary relief. The institu tion now consisted of 218 members, and 785 honorary mem bers and donors. The subscription lists at the last dinner amounted to 175/.; and, in consequence of the unusually small amount of this sum, it was suggested that 500/. should be raised by subscriptions of 501. each ; and the thanks of the meeting were given to the gentlemen who had kingly taken up the subscription lists. The Lord Mayor's collection amounted to 1791. , 85. The amounts collected at the two last dinners were respectively 530/. and 1701., making together 700/. The proceeds of a private ball amounted to 53/, which sum had been handed in., The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the auditors, secretary, and chairman, for their unremitting attention to the well-being of the insti tution, and the meeting separated. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE UNION ' BANE, LIVERPOOL—About one o'clock on Saturday, a gentleman went into the Union Bank, Brunswick-street, for the purpose of depositing notes to the amount of 750. He had the' bundle of notes in his hand when he entered the bank, and while he took up a pen to write a note upon the counter, he placed them in the outside pocket of his top coat. When, in a minute or two after, he put down hishand to feel for them, they were gone, and no trace of them has since been dis covered. it is believed that the thiet was one of the London swell mob, who made his way there in search of what he could find. There are several of the London swell mob now in town, and most of them are of very fashionable exterior. One was apprehended on Saturday, who was believed to have been concerned in this robbery, but he was discharged, as he bad not any notes, although he had 23 sovereigns in his pos session. The numbers of the notes stolen at the bank are known, and bills have been printed offering a reward of 50/. for the apprehension of the thief and recovery of the pro perty. It is singular that the exposures recently made have not taught caution to gentlemen depositing and receiving sums of money at banks and other public places. Indi viduals who place cash in loose outside pockets are the very victims whom sharpers use all vigilance to discover. The notes consisted of six 1001. and three 50/. notes, all of the Bank of England.—Liverpool Albion of yesterday. SERIOUS MILL ACCIDENT.—MANCHESTER, MARCH 15.—An accident of a very serious nature occured in a building attached to the spinning mill of Messrs. Gray, Pollard-street, this morning, at about twenty minutes past ten o'clock. The building is a boiler - house , containing three boilers, and is 32 feet wide ; over the boilers is a room in which there are twelve jack-frames, a heavy kind of ma chinery. The floor on which the machinery stands is sup ported with three iron beams, and which appears to be very strong, and weigh 66% cwt. Between the beams are heavy brick arches ; these beams are unsupported by pillars, in consequence of the flues of the boilers not being able to bear the weight. It was supposed by the architects that the beams were of sufficient strength to bear twice the weight that would be required. Over the jack-frame room there is an asphalte cistern, which is seventeen inches deep, and is supported by iron beams and brick-work, as the flo or beneath, and two iron pillars, are fastened to the beams which -support the floor of the room containing the ma chinery. One of the beams gave way, and whether it was the beam which supports the roof and the asphalte cistern, or that which supports the floor of the jack-room, is not yet known ; the latter seems to be the most probable. One end of the building has given way. The roof of this build ing and the floor underneath are broken through. Six of the jack-frames on the boilers underneath have fallen in. The other six frames and the remaining part of the building stand Uninjured, with the exception of the outside walls. The machinery was at work, and one woman named Eliza beth Cooper was killed, and two others were injured, one of whom we understand is now in the infirmary, but is not dangerously hurt ; the other walked home and seemed not to have sustained much injury. Th e woman that was killed we have been informed was married, and had three children. THE LATE CONFLAGRATION AT BATTERSEA.—An investigation was yesterday gone into to ascertain, if possi ble, by what means the fire which destroyer) largean amount of property occurred , u p on Mr. B ethall's p remises in Battersea-fields. The result of that inquiry failed in throwing any additional light o n the cause of the calamity. The watchman, in whose charge the premises were left at night, and whose duty it was to look after the furnaces on the works, stated, in answer to inquiries made by his em- e ployer, that whilst the tar w as runnin g out of one of the boilers in the tar-house he left the place for a few secon ds, and on his return found that a considerable quantity of that article had, from some cause, which he is at a loss to ac count for, become ignited. He positively affirms that neither lamp nor candle had been taken near the vessel into which the tar was running. When the fire commenced he tried all he possibly could to prevent the flames from extend ing, and he kept at his post until he became almost encir cled in flame, when, in order to save his life, he was at last compelled to rush out of the place and run to a distant part of the premises, for the fire extended so rapidly that in the space of a few seconds several square yards of ground in the vicinity of the still-house were covered with burning tar and pitch. Tha exact amount of property that has been consumed cannot be ascertained as yet, but Mr. Bethall's loss alone, it is stated, will be several thousand pounds. His saw-mills were fitted up with expensive machinery and fix tures, all of which are destroyed. The only building on the premises not destroyed was the still-house, the escape of which was an exceedingly fortunate circumstance, for there were several thousand gallons of naptha in the place. The firemen in saving this property were exposed to great peril, and several of them have been severely injured over the face and hands by the lighted tar. LIVERTOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON.- -We are as yet without any tidings of the steamer Cambria, from BOkon,but as her sister ship the Hibernia did not arrive in March, 1845, till the 17th, entirely owing to bad weather, she cannot yet be considered as overdue.

This lady had the following letter Inserted in the "Times" news aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was pit into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Lierbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months, lid the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever 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 Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion •f hair in abund ance, but as a cure et nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact:,..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a Sew drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - irevent 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 odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of neveus headache, pour ten or twelve drops an the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most Cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See william Grimstone Ilerbory, Ilighgato.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, PORTSMOUTH, MAacir 15.—The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill. arrived this afternoon from the Cape of Good Hope station. Her dates arc Simon's Bay, January 2 ; St. He lena, January 2G; Ascension, February 2. 1-,,he has been employed out nearly five years, and has lost several officers and many men by sickness. She is ordered off forthwith to Chatham to be paid off. She delivered her mails over to the Seringapatam Indiaman at the Cape, which vessel has deli vered them some days since. 'When the Cleopatra arrived at St. Helena, the Kingfisher, 12, Commander Horton, was the only man-of-war there, but left on the 21st of January for the coast of Africa. The Island of Ascension was healthy, and turtle and water plentiful. The Tortoise store and guard-ship, Captain Hol ton, and the Hydra steam-sloop, Commander Morrell, were the only vessels at the i s l an d. T he P ene l ope steam -frigate was daily looked for from England. On the 12th inst. the Cleopatra passed, in 1at.,45.44, long. 13.2, a timber-laden vessel water-logged and abandoned, with bowsprit standing, and stern stove in. She had been apparently some time in that state. Commander Gooch, of the Sealark, has come home from the west coast of Africa station, in the Cleopatra, and is so ill as to preclude all hope of his recovery. Lieutenant W. C. Marshall, of the Dido, and Captain Armstrong, of the 47th Regiment, have come home in the Cleopatra ; and Mr. Bayley, of that slop, is very ill on board. The invalids have been sent to Haslar, and the supernumeraries to the flag-ship. SUCCESSFUL ROD FISIICNO.—The success in salmon fishing, by net and coble, has hitherto been small,forthis season, in the Tay and its tributaries • but it has been rather different with some of our experienced anglers. On Monday, rther Tuesday, and Wednesday last week, Lord Charles Kerr and Sir Thomas Moncriefle, Bart., plied the Stobhall waters in the Tay, near the Linn of Cainpsie, the property of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby. We have not learnt his Lordship's success,but that of Sir Thomas was three fine fishes on Mon day, one on Tuesday, and one on Wednesday, all clean and of admirable symmetry, the weight varying from 161bs. to 281bs.— Mdinburgh Advertiser. THE DAGENHAM MURDER.— It has been pre viously stated to be the intention of the Government to prosecute the men who committed perjury before Mr. Lewis, the Coroner, at the inquest on George Clark in June last. On Wednesday last the whole of the witnesses, seventeen in number, went before the grand jury, at Chelmsford, and a true bill was found, not against all the men who gave evidence, but against three only— namely, Parsons (the sergeant), Kimpton, who after wards admitted that he did the sergeant's duty during a portion of the night on which the unfortunate man was murdered, and Hickton the other men, Barns, Butfoy, and Stevens, being admitted as wit nesses ou the part of the Crown. The indictment against the parties is for conspiring together for the purpose of com mitting wilful and corrupt perjury, and not with the actual commission of it, as that would not have enabled the Crown to prosecute Parsons, who did not commit perjury, he hav ing " stuck to his tale" fiom first to last, declaring most vehemently that he had spoken the truth. The trial will not take place until the summer assizes. In the neighbour hood of Dagenham the determination of the Government to prosecute in this case has given great satisfaction. FEMALE CONVICTS FOR 110 BART TOWN.—The Waterman steam-vessel brought from Milbank Penitentiary on Friday 150 female convicts, and put them on board the hired convict ship Asia, at Woolwich, for conveyance to Hobart Town, New South Wales; and 150 additional were brought down on Saturday for the same destination. ROBBERY BY A POLICB.CONSTAI3LE.—On Thurs day, Police-constable William Dixon, No. 615, was brought up before Mr. Rushton, and committed for trial on the charge of having robbed a man named Smeatbam, whilst in a state of intoxication. It appeared that the prosecutor and pri soner had been drinking together at Wavertree, whilst the latter was on duty, and the prisoner, instead of protecting, robbed the prosecutor. The evidence being deemed conclu sive, the prisoner was committed for trial.—Liverpool Mall. We hear that difficulties have arisen at Rome re specting the re-ordination of the Rev. J. H. Newman, and that they are of such a nature as are not likely to be over come.—Church and State Gazette. NEW COLONIAL Bisnors.—We hear that the Rev. Augustus Short, late student and censor of Christ Church, Oxford, and 13ampton University lecturer, is likely to obtain the new Bishopric of Adelaide; and the Rev. B. Atwood, chaplain to the Bishop of Australia, that of Morpeth, Aus toluia.—Churcit and &ate Ggrettr. - ,----------.....) , - ' I ',, I • . ." , - it • 0, ~ f ) , , i ' l, 4 •47_,,:.. \\ '4' k . _) ' . o reiti • • .., ,1 / 4 „,... , ~..4# , #, X „,, ' ,t ;l% ; /(l4' i ce irr xr,, ; ,. ,I- it f 10 0/ 1 , .
