Mr. Norton and Hinkly, who carried out their bats on Monday evening, again went to the wickets, and before the former was removed he had in creased his score from 3 to 15, whilst the latter did the like from 2 to 13, and shouldered his bat upon his col league being caught. The total of the Kent innings was thus 83, or 9 less only than that of their opponents —a close match.

REGENT'S-PARE.—This was the return match, and was played yesterday on Mr. Mitchellson's ground, Cricketers, Kingston.

The match was won by Kingston by 61 on the first innings.

(From, the Times.) That the British army has lost in Sir Charles Napier one of its best and most distinguished soldiers, is what none would deny and few require to be told. To services of extraordinary severity and duration he added a character without a mili tary blemish. For sixty years, and in all qu ar t ers of the globe, he was a good officer or a successful commander ; nor would it be easy, even in his nu merous campaigns, to discover an instance in which his professional duties were either ill-discharged or unfortunately conducted. His reputation had commenced before the Peninsular war began, while, so recent were his latest services, that they are still the subject of current discussion. Through- LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited. Owing to the prevailing favourable weather for the crops, and the thin attendance of buyers, the business doing was comparatively small, at Monday's advance in the quotations. The imports of foreign wheat have been under 6,000 quarters. That article was in moderate request, at late currencies. Floating cargoes were held firmly. With barley we were very scantily supplied. New English, chevalier, was worth 40s per qr. ; other kinds in proportion. The malt trade was firm, and prices were on the advance. Oats sold at extreme quotations. Beans and peas were firm.

SUICIDE IN A POLICE STATlON.—Yesterday evening an inquest was taken by Mr. Bedford on the body of Edward Beck, aged 37, an omnibus conductor, who committed suicide in a cell of the Vine-street station of the C division of police, with an iron tip of his boot heel. It appeared that the deceased was addicted to excessive drinking, and that he left his situation as a conductor about a fortnight ago. He frequently suffered from severe pains in his head, the effects of his intemperate habits, and of a sunstroke he received when in India. About half-past 3 o'clock on Sunday morning he was observed by a policeman in Jermyn-street, who took him into custody as a suspected person, on which charge he was locked up at the station-house, Vine-street, Pic cadilly, and about 5 o'clock in the afternoon he was in his cell in a sitting posture, having his arm in the pan of the water-closet, and it was discovered he had cut a vein in the left arm, which had been done by the sharp edge of an iron tip he had wrenched from the heel of his boot. Deceased was attended by a surgeon, who ad vised his removal to St. George's Hospital, but he died before his admission into that institution. Mr. Hast ings, house surgeon, said that deceased died from loss of blood, having cut an artery. Verdict, "Temporary insanity." THE LATE CASE OF SHOOTING IN BERMONDSEY.—It is said that Mr. Stevens, whose death was caused by one of his tenants shooting him in the street, was the pos sessor of very considerable property in the parish. The perpetrator of the crime has not yet been apprehended ; and it is feared that serious consequences will result to Mrs. Lawrence from the shock occasioned to her by her husband's dreadful act, as she is very far advanced in pregnancy. PAGE-GREEN, TOTTENHAM.—The thirteenth purchase of the Conservative Land Society, and the fifth estate in Middlesex, has just been made at Page-green, Tot tenham, near the Seven Sisters'-road, Stamford-hill, close to the railway station. This new property is situated near the Markfield estate, which was recently sold at such a large profit. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning a fearful, and it is feared fatal accident, attended by the loss of at least two lives, occurred at the Euston-square terminus of the London and North-Western Railway under the following cir cumstances :—Saveral workmen were engaged on diffe rent portions of the rails close to the station, and just as the half-past 6 down-train was on the point of starting seven or eight men were in the act of carrying across the line close to the terminus a long portion of an iron rail, at the very moment that the engine which accompanied the train emerged from the engine -shed. The men imagined that they could effect their transit before the engine arrived where they were engaged. The result, however, unfortunately p rove d th a t t h ey were wrong in their calculatio n , f or b e f ore th ey cou ld c l ear the rails the engine came up, striking the iron rail that they were carrying, and knocking the men about right and left. Notwithstanding this frightful collision four of the men succ ee d e d i n gett i ng out of the way of the engine, while two others, named Edmund Woodland and Abel Robertson, were not so fortunate, the engine and tender having passed over them. They were in stantly picked up bleeding and insensible, and conveyed to the . University Colleg e H osp it a l . I n a ddi t i on to serious internal injuries, Woodland's shoulder and ankle were dislocated. Robertson, besides many internal wounds, suffered frightfully about the back and head. How the other men escaped comparatively uninjured was almost miraculous. Had the engine been going at a rapid pace the wh o l e b o d y o f wor k men eng aged at this point would have been inevitably killed. No hopes of the recovery of the wounded men are entertained. SINGULAR AFFRAY AT GARELOCH-HEAD.—On Sunday week the usually quiet watering-place of Gareloch-head, in Dumbartonshire, was the scene of an extraordinary disturbance, caused by an attempt on the part of the servants of Sir J. Colquhoun, aided by the police and others, to resist the landing of the passengers from a Glasgow steam-boat called the Emperor. It appears that great dissatisfaction had been created in the minds of many of the inhabitants by this steam-boat plying to and from Gareloch-head and other watering-places on Sunday; and Sir J. Colquhoun, sympathising with this feeling, resolved, if possible, to prevent the disembarcation of the passengers on that day, basing his right to do so on the ground that the landing pier was his private pro perty. Accordingly when the Emperor reached the pier on Sunday forenoon it was found that a strong barricade, composed of barrels, herring-boxes, and large pieces of wood, surmounted by a heavy gangway, completely blocked up the passage to the shore, while . before and behind it a n umerous body of gamekeepers, gillies, and others, including some policemen, were stationed, to repel the passengers should they attempt to effect a landing. This at tempt the passengers were not slow in making. A rush was made from the steamer, and, notwithstanding the free use of bludgeons and other weapons by the party on shore, a large body_of passengers got a footing on the pier, took the barricade by storm, thre w t he m aterials into the sea, and, having beaten back their opponents, secured an easy passage to the shore. The scuffle, though brief, appears to have been rather fierce, a n d some hard blows were dealt on both sides. H av i ng gained their object, the passengers set about enjoying themselves in a harmless way, and at the end of two hours returned to the steamer, which they were allowed to enter, through the pier, without molestation, and were soon on their way again to Glasgow. It appears that the title of Sir J. Colquhoun to the propietary of the pier is questioned, and that the affair is to be fol lowed up by an appeal to the law courts. The Criminal Tribunal of Granada, in Spain, has just been occupied several days in trying a priest name d J os e de Ruiz Aguilera, charged with the cur e o f th e par i s h of Quentar, for the murder of his curate Jose Vilches. It was proved that the accused had entertained strong animosity against his curate, owing to a quarrel having taken place between them so far back as eleven years ago ; and that in July last he fired a pistol point blank at him as he was returning to the church, in his ecclesi astical robes from a funeral. The tribunal condemned him to death. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1853. The figures within parenthesis denote the number o day's racing. SEPTEMBER. Lincoln (2) 1 Bridgnorth Marlborough Cheadle (Staff.)

The chief object is to open up the supply of coal known to exist at Natal, with a view to its consumption by the various steamships calling at the Cape, especially in connexion with the trade to Australia. PERILOUS FALL.—An awful occurrence took place the other day at the Llanllyfin Slate Quarry, North Wales. A little girl about four years old, fell down the Quarry—which is upwards of one hundred and twenty feet in direct perpendicular descent. A. narrow ledge runs round the brink of the pit about 16 feet below the surface, and against this the poor child struck in her descent, receiving several severe contusions, and having some ribs broken. That she was not dashed to pieces seems almost miraculous, as the quarry contained broken fragments of slate, but it is thought her dress must have become inverted, and actin g a s a parachute, have caused her descent to be gradual. She is pro gressing favourably. ELECTRIC LIGHT.—An experiment has been made during the last two nights at the Pont Notre-Dame to introduce the electric light in order that the works may go on night and day without interruption. The first at tempts, although they have not completely succeeded, leave hopes of ultimate success. The light at present was found to be too intermittent to enable the workmen to get on without danger.—Gcaignani, out this remarkable career his actions were charac terised by traits long reputed to be common to all the members of his family. Courage amounting to recklessness, invincible energy, originality of idea, and enthusiastic devotion to his profession, distinguished his conduct on all occasions ; and, on reading the hazards to which he exposed his life, it seems difficult to conceive how it could have been protracted so long. In the desperate battle of Corunna, after receiving five wounds in the action, he was only rescued from death by the generosity of a French drummer and the marked kindness of Marshal Soult—a circumstance which contributed, no doubt, to the chivalrous partiality with which the great enemy of England was after wards regarded by more than one soldier of the name of Napier. At one conjuncture of the war Soult dispatched a particular message to say that he intended to pay Major Napier's regiment a visit. The corps was drawn out accordingly in its best array, and the French retired from the encounter with little reason to think lightly of the interview they had bespoken. After such encomiums as these, it may seem hard to imagine in what Sir Charles Napier's services may have fallen short of absolute excellence, for a soldier can scarcely be more than brave, ingenious, and successful. Y e t th ere are few officers in the army whose achievements have been more acrimo niously controverted than his, or whose general merits have been more frequently brought under discussion, and the difficulty of reviewing these incidents is increased by the fact that they are still fresh in the minds of all. Sir Charles conquered, administered, and settled- an Eastern province as large as a European kingdom ; but his conquest was decried, and even his justice called in ques tion. Later still he quitted an honourable retire ment to'accept a post of enormous responsibility at an hour of extreme peril ; but his sacrifice even in this respect was lightly esteemed and not gene rously rewarded. Among soldiers themselves there may not impossibly be found two opinions upon his deserts, though upon the whole it is in the army that his merits will receive the fullest acknowledgments, as it is there certainly that his failings should be regarded with the greatest in dulgence. We may say, indeed, that his defects became visible in proportion as he was called upon to apply the talents and experience of a military capacity to the more ordinary exigencies of life. We do not mean to imply, as our own opinion, that he was incapable of public adminis tration ; on the contrary, we think that both in the lonian Islands and in Scinde he gave evidence not only of vigorous resolution, but of clear and comprehensive views. We doubt whether any civilian could have been found to govern the coun try of the Ameers, as it came into his hands, with greater economy or success than he exhibited him self. His fault was that he carried a military spirit into every transaction, and conducted all proceedings with the blunt decisive bearing of a soldier. In the controversies which this habit could not fail to create he was hasty and violent, extend ing little consideration to his opponents, and putting few restrictions on his language. On many, per haps on most occasions, he had right on his side, and that he always believed so is what may be safely inferred from his known integrity and honour ; but he rarely made allowance for those differences of opinion which must necessarily exist, and was too apt to regard disinterested opposition as a per sonal affront. The inevitable consequence was the formation of two parties, one of which inflexibly adhered to his side, while the other not only at tacked his admitted failings, but depreciated with out scruple his best services, and cast unwarrant able imputations on his motives. A signal illustration of these remarks is found in his Indian career. As a soldier, Sir Charles Napier was not less successful in the East than any of those commanders whose names have been associated with Oriental triumphs. He was proof against the influence of climate, the seductions of luxury, the cajolery of native courts, and the temptations of an Eastern cam paign. He not only won great victories, but he suffered no reverses. He was never overreached, outnumbered, or overcome, and he won his way against numerical odds as great as those encoun tered by Lake or Wellesley. He did even more; for, after destroying the enemy in pitched battles, he succeeded in stifling the last sparks of insurrec tion among the scattered tribes of an almost inac cessible district. No foe once prostrated by his sword has ever risen again. Yet, with all this mi litary excellence, Sir Charles wss exposed to re monstrances as serious as if he had been suffering defeat or endangering the army committed to his care. He could not keep on terms with his em ployers. Provoked, not unreasonably, by the pre tensions of civilians, he was induced to disparage the entire civil service, and in the irritation occa sioned by opposition to his will he unhesitatingly assailed the whole Government of India. The East India Company was naturally indisposed to submit to reprimands from a servant of its own, however distinguished, and to such a height was the displea sure of the Directors carried, that when our whole Indian empire appeared to be in jeopardy, and when Sir Charles Napier was called upon by com mon consent as the man to save it, it was under stood that the Government of the Company ac tually hesitated at accepting so distasteful a de liverer. On this occasion, as on some others of his life, the course of events ran somewhat unfortunately. The battle which he was dispatched to fight, and which he would undoubtedly have won, was fought and won before his arrival, and he found before him nothing but a field of service in which, whatever might have been his abstract capacities, the risk of offence was too great to be escaped. At neither of our struggles with the Sikhs was it Sir Charles Napier's lot to be present, and he missed therefore those opportunities which in the case of others brought such honourable rewards. More than one soldier has been raised to the peerage whose services, on an impartial estimate, must needs be pronounced inferior to those we have been recording. The "fortune of war" is a phrase which may be variously understood. In one sense Sir Charles was unquestionably a fortunate soldier, for he accomplised a distinguished career with brilliant success, and with no disaster. In another point of view, however, he was less favoured by circumstances, for he never obtained one of those critical chances which are held to culminate a life of service. In 1846, while holding an independent command, he missed the decisive battle of Sobraon ; and, in 1849, a victory which might have crowned his hopes was anticipated at G-oojerat by the Com mander he was sent to supersede. Notwithstanding defects which it was impossible to disguise, we cannot doubt that the general sen timents of the country and the army will be honourable to the veteran now departed. He was, beyond dispute, an excellent soldier and a rare public servant. As a regimental officer, in spite of occasional caprices, he was esteemed by his com rades in arms, respected by his men, and honoured by all for those military accomplishments which s oldiers never fail to appreciate. That every force under Sir Charles Napier's command would be led straight to the enemy was perfectly known, and that it would be conducted to victory was never doubted. For a military reputation this was suf ficient ; and when it is added that his difficulties were not unfrequently incurred in uph o ldi ng against all opposition what he believed to be the rights of the service, it will be readily understood how sincere a regard may now be paid to his memory. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The hand of Time has done its work once more. and another name has been added to the list of the illustrious dead. There is something almost ap palling in the havoc which the present year is making in the ranks of our great men. " How fast has brother followed brother From sunshine to the sunless land 1" Scarcely a week ago we recorded the death of two eminent military and naval captains, the com panions of Wellington and Nelson. We have now to mourn the departure of a still greater man. Napier sleeps by the side of Saltjun and Cockburn. Born about the same year, the deceased hero and Lord Saltoun, with many others scarcely less distinguished, entered the army at the same time, and fought under the same banners ; and, having reached the natural limit of life, they now fall, as they once stood— together. Strange to say, the lives of many of our great generals have been almost as measured as a soldier's step. To the heroes of Waterioo and the Peninsula, who have outlived the perils of the field, death has come almost instantaneously—swift and sudden as a musket ball. Few of them have suffered any gradual breaking up of the physical system—any painful or humiliating decay of the faculties. This is as it should be.

Next to the Duke of Wellington, there was none among our military worthies so well known to his countrymen as Sir Charles Napier. Few who wit nessed the scene will have forgotten how, on the day of the Wellington funeral, conspicuous even amongst that illustrious band, he advanced—with bowed head, and with slow, but scarcely tottering, step—to gaze upon the coffin of his great com mander. His individual deeds of daring have be come more familiar to us than, perhaps, those of any of his con t em p orar ies. His courage, re sembling rather that of a knight-errant than of a modern genera l , h a d i n it some thi ng startlin g and romantic which peculiarly captivated the imagination. His love of personal danger, in deed, knew no bounds. As a subaltern in the Peninsula, he was always found where the fire was thickest and hottest. By a series of mira culous escapes, and with the aid of an extraordi nary constitution, he survived upwards of twenty l e i s as t that t a n a y t c p i o t r c u h n e n d a e h n e g a l g v e a m s e s n e t e s n . His wounds, bells brother d t advancing over broken ground, followed only by four men, to the capture of a French gun, until, pierced by five wounds, he was saved from death by the humanity of a French drummer. But it was in India that he earned his fame as one of the greatest generals of the day. His victories over the Belooches in Scinde were won in defiance of as vast a disparity of numbers as signalised the tri umphs of Marathon or Arbela. At Meeanee, he defeated thirty thousand men with something un der two thousand English and Sepoys ; and the victory over Shere Mahomed, and the capture of Hyderabad, were achieved with five thousand men, against nearly six times that number. But Napier although a brave soldier, was not a foolhardy com mander. He had much in him of the diplomatist as well as of the general. His negotiations with the chieftains of Scinde were carried through with consummate skill, and the wily Ameers found that they were opposed to a foe who could not only beat them in the field, but outwit them in negotiation. He saw through their machinations and conspira cies with an eagle's glance ; and when at last he drove them to "a terrible warfare," it was, as he himself said, because they would not content them selves with an honest policy. Like his valour, his aspect was wild and strange, and his clear expressive eye, his features stern rather than harsh, and his white, long-flowing hair, there Was much that reminded one of the finest of Rembrandt's portraits. Simple and austere in his own habits he disdained luxurious self-indulgence in others, and never could be made to see that a soldier wanted any baggage beyond a " clean shirt, a change of shoes, and a piece of soap." His lan guage i a o d u d r s a e b s s o addresses t t m o i i t s l t r r y o o h p o s n was ch arac t er i st i cally grap hi c an d f orc ibl e . tically matter-of-fact directiwool e is ea fr nn o coi t gtl i ho n re fl y a l t ib e s d eu to d pf e r a c t l h a ce - . musket or the formation of a column. He never turned aside from a word, if he thought it expres sive ; and many amusing anecdotes are told of his plain-spokenness, as that of the Duke of Welling ton, both in public and private life. In one of his general orders, we find him telling his officers, that " Gentlemen, as well as beggars, if they like, may ride to the devil when they get on horseback ;" and that, " without obedience, an army becomes a mob, a cantonment a bear-garden." In another, he informs them that " the reviews which the Com mander-in-Chief makes of the troops are not to be taken as so many ' chips in porridge.' " His mind was as versatile as it was powerful, and there are passages in his dispatches and other compositions which indicate that, had he not been engrossed by the more practical business of a sol di.er's life, he might have attained to something of his brother's excellence as a military historian. Nor was Sir Charles Napier less great as an administra tor than as a commander. During his residence in India, he corrected innumerable abuses. " There never," said Lord Ellenborough, " has been, is or will be, any nam e i n S c i n d e so great as Sir Charles Napier's, for his is the only name associated with justice." He was, perhaps, the most zealous mili tary reformer in the army ; and although bred in an old-fashioned school, having served his first campaign in Ireland during the rebellion, he was not a man of antiquated prejudices, or of a narrow or bigoted mind. We cannot more fitly sum up his character as a general than in the emphatic testimony which, on a memorable occasion, the Duke of Wellington bore to his merits—" Either you must go to India, or I must." The death of such a man, even though bowed down with years, cannot but be felt as a national loss. Already, when we look round at the vacant spaces which the past year has made in the ranks of our counsellors and defenders, we cannot help involuntarily exclaiming, " Who are to rise up in their places ?" There is something melancholy in the thought that, of the links which bound us to an age of action, of danger, and of glory, scarcely one remains. What a crowd of old associations passed away with Wellington alone ! Of that dauntless band, once so compact, which, having survived the storm that laid low their compeers, met, year after year, to commemorate the 18th of June, how small a portion remains ! The chasm which separates us from the past is widening every day—a younger generation has succeeded to the heroes of Saragossa and Badajos. A few years more, and Waterloo and Trafalgar, now so fresh and real even to ourselves, will have become part of an order of things which has passed away--as much matter of history as Cressy, or Agincourt, or Blenheim. BARRACKS FOR INFANTRY. —An officer has been en gaged at Ipswich, by order of Government, in selecting a proper site for the erection of infantry barracks, which, it is said, will shortly be commenced. Accommodation will be required for 1000 men.—/pswich. Express. THE MURDER BY A SPANISH TRAMP. - Miguel Yzquierdo, the Spaniard who is charged with the murs der of a boy named George" Scales, at Smallford, near Hatfield, underwent an examination at the county gaol, Hertford, on Saturday before Mr. T. Mills, M.P., and other magistrates. Senor S. Steel, connected with the Spanish Consulate, attended to watch the proceedings and to act act as interpreter, the prisoner having but an lin• perfect knowledge of the English language. He ap pears to have been accustomed to deeds of violence. He was one of the Carlist guerilla bands in Catalonia, and took part in the recent revolutions in Italy and France. Since his arrival in this country he wandered about as a tramp, committing trifling thefts. The deceased boy was a kind of watcher, and his body was discovered in a barley field, shockingly bruised and mutilated, death being caused by a fearful blow which fractured the skull near the occipital bone. The arms of the lad bore nu merous bruises, evidently inflicted by some heavy blud geon. The accused was apprehended near the spot, and he admitted having struck the boy, but only in self defence, as he was afraid of being shot by him. It is thought that the deceased detected the prisoner in com mitting some illegal act, and that to escape the conse quences if apprehended, made the murderous and fatal attack. There is little doubt but what he robbed the deceased after the murder was perpetrated. Some of the property was found upon him, as also some food which he had stolen from a neighbouring house on the night previous to the murder. The magistrates fully committed the prisoner for trial on the charge of wilful murder at the next assizes. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A SLAVE. —We grieve, for the honour of our town, to have to record an inhuman outrage practised on the body of an old negro of this place, named Johnson, the slave of Charles Hines, by Hines himself, which resulted in death. The negro was nearly 90 years of age, and universally venerated for his soberness and Honesty, as well as for his revolutionary reminiscences. The monster-master, taking umbrage at some petty offence, deliberately whipped, stamped, and kicked him to death on Saturday last. The fellow feigned sickness, as is supposed, to cover a design of escape, and even had the blasphemous hardihood to affect a fear of immediate death, and to go through the funereal farce of making a public will. Officer Kener left two deputies in guard at his residence till Monday, when the body of the negro was disinterred, and an in quest held over it by the coroner. The unanimous ver dict of the jury—several physicians who were present also assenting—was that he died from the effects of the blows and kicks he . had received from his master. Persons who witnessed the examination say that the sight was sickening, his whole back cut and bruised into a jelly, and the lower part of his body nearly kicked to pieces. Immediately after the inquest the monster was taken to gaol. Let him go down to fame hand-in-hand with Legree—a hideous verification of that horrible villain.—Carrolton (Louisiana) Star. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —On Sunday evening after dinner, a commercial traveller and his wife, both fo reigners, residing in lodgings at Belfast, had a quar rel, the e ff ect of which was to excite in the lady deep feelings of jealousy. The gentleman threw himself on a sofa, and fell into a sleep, and the lady left the house, having first written a note, which she left on the table, with her gold watch and jewellery. The poor woman re paired to Prince's Dock, about nine o'clock, into which she threw herself, and from which her rescue was almost miraculous. Three boys had been in a boat down the They pulle d n t a o e t r h y e w p c era i sed c a o t e d f a , river, and were retur T n h i as body in the water. and one of them succeeded in securing a hold of the poor woman's dress, and with great difficulty she was taken out. She was quite insensible, and it was the general opinion that she was dead. She was immediately con veyed by one of the constables, aided by others, to the general hospital, where proper means were adopted to resuscitate her, and fortunately with effect. Bier hus band had been searching for her through the town, im mediately on his reading her note, but in vain. FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.—Advices by the overland mail mention that the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's screw steamer Formosa, when a few miles to the southward of Bombay, met with a disastrous accident. She was struck by a sea with terrific violence, which, carrying all before it, caused the deaths of four of the native crew, and seriously injured the officer of the watch. The ship, however, sustained no important damage. a te; c ith [can the the she e. ;tort 'rol 0 off d by to re gall" . ev er ) tile e of sstid• l it of to p er p er Ole' rove , 01' 7d . 36i „ i dol rs f or )na3P 01 10 1 ; 013 °f and.
