The body of a female has been washed ashore in a state of nudity ; it is believed that she was a cabin passenger, and had been drowned in her berth, but nothing certain is known on that subject at present. About nearly the same moment the body was found , a fine athletic man was swept off the rocks ant drowned. ll:i e was stretching out with a pole for a shawl that was floating, when a heavy surge carried him away, and the peip!e on shore commenced a piercing cry, and 'desisted from their labours for some time.

Phillips,lof George yard, Lombard street, agent of the barque Wanderer, for having detained his register ticket. Thesumnions having been granted upon the representa tion of Mills, Mr. Phillips attended, and said he was very glad at being confronted with the accuser, as he should, in all probability, have to change places with him, and appear as a prosecutor. Mills having deposed that Mr. Phillips held his ticket, the answer was that Mills was hired as steward on board the barque, to go to China; that he signed articles to that effect in the usual way, and that he deserted from the ship. Under such circumstances the register ticket was detained. The LORD baron having asked Mills what answer he had to make to that accusation, said that he had, in consequence of violent illness, ,absented himself from the ship, but that he had by no means deserted. Mr. Phillips said he had been given to understand that Mills had received two sovereigns upon condition that he would on the voyage pay attention to two Chinese, and that upon being accused of having been guilty of a fraud in taking that for which he never meant to give any value he replied that it was no fraud, it was only a debt. The letter of Captain Priest, the master of the Wanderer, stated as follows:—" I hereby certify that George Mills signed articles on board the Wanderer, on the sth of January, to perform a voyage to China, and back to any port in Great Britain, absented himself without leave on the 6th of January, and has not since returned to the said barque Wanderer.— Barque Wanderer, 16th January, 1847. The LORD MAa-ott—Then,.Mr. Phillips, do you charge ibis man with the offence of having deserted ? • Mr. Phillips—l de. I have not only the captain's autho. rity, but I know Mills did not take his clothes on board at all. Mills—l admit I signed articles, but I was so ill I could not get back in time. .The LORD MAYOR—This is a species of offence which causes the greatest inconvenience to captains of ships, and I shall as an example, send the defendant Mills to the House of Correction for thirty days, and his register ticket shall be annexed to his commitment. Mr. Edward Lucas, of the firm of Lucas and Sons, corn factors, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of a policeman, under the following remarkable circumstances. Mr. Edward Scott, of No. 7, Mount-place, flour-factor, stated that about four months ago I had dealings with the defendant. I bought of him about 148 quarters of peas, for which he gale me a sale note, and an order for the removal o; the article. I bought them at 443 per quarter, and he was to.be allowed the regular market commission, he reselling the same, and if I sold them myself he was still to have the commission. The pease was lying at Dondan's granary in Horselydown. It was a time bargain, and a regular market transaction, viz., a settlement at two months, which ex pired on the 6th January. About the 29th or 30th of De cember, I called at the defendant's office, No. 53, East Cheap, and saw his father; and I wrote a note to Messrs. Lucas and Son, expressive of my wish that they should sell the pease on my account, or I would take them at 535., and all ow th em their commission, to which application I received no reply. I served a notice on the clerk to sell the pease, and he gave it to the defendant's father, who, in my presence, gave it to the defendant; and last Wednesday I went to the defendant's stand in the Corn-market, and gave his father a bill of the pease, the defendant's father *standing by his side at the time and looking at it. It left a balance of 491. 13s. 9d. in my favour, having tbarged them 535. for the pease, which sum I had been offered for them. The father said 1 was a bad man, and walked away. About ten minutes afterwards the defendant and his fathcrr were standing by their stand. I was beside them, and a gentleman came up, and I took from my pocket the sale bill which I had received, and held it in my hand for this gentleman to look at, and I asked him if it was not a legal sale note of the market? Whilst the gentleman was reading the paper, the defendant stretched out his hand, tore it from mine, rent it in pieces, and walked away. I requested the gentleman to give me his card. The defendant came back again, and I asked him what he could say against me, and he said, if you don't wish me to ruin you in the market, be still. I then had no further conversation with the defendant, but I called yesterday and saw him, and asked him to give me the sale note, and he said I had better be A, and if I annoyed him any more, or mentioned it in the market, be would charge the police with me ; and to• day I mentioned it to the police, and gave him in charge. I could have sold the note at a good profit. Thi Defendant—l sold the peas at 445. a quarter to the complainant, and he was to refuse or accept them by the next market day. On that day he did not come, and in ferred that he would keep them. Oa the following market day he said he would keep them, and I frequently asked him for some money on account. He refused to give me any, and I then said that I should consider the contract at an end. I knew he had nothing but that contract, and I snatched it from him, for I had actually sold half the peas at a loss. I admit that I took it out of his hand, but I consider that I was fully justified under the circumstances. The .Loan MAYOR said he considered the conduct of the defendant, in snatching the contract out of the complainant's hand, completely inexcusable, inasmuch as it was nothing less than the destruction of the evidence against him. What iricee defendant might think alt. the appearance of such a tioos from c mvater wovld be likely to' draw forth observe the person accused. A s fur ute tixcrinurglims favourable to fondant or his friend might have entertained towards the complainant, they certainly had had a commercial dealing with him, and were bound to give him fair play, and it was their own fault if they had transactions with individuals of whom they disapproved. His Lordship thought it would be to the advantage of the defendant to reconsider the course he had thought proper to pursue, and concluded by requiring Mr. Lucas to enter into his own recognizances in the sum of 00 m. m charge . to which appear ai might htwelvepreferredo'clock againstb at u Saturday to answer any Lucas then entered into his own recognizance to appear at the time specified. 1 NSTITUTION OF CIVIL EN GINEERS. theution ballottt'as h fo e r l d ni t i , gm i to n .f, t t l ah i the ei dciltilansittrit on Tuesday evening, th. r p the following gentlemen were T Bi i r ie j a o n h i n iu ll al e g n e n i i i e e ' ra p e l re m l B , a e t e h t resident ; W.

Holtzap ffell associ The report of the council was very sa ti s f actory, as it an nounced the institution to be in a most prosperous state in every respect, and induced a full co nv i c ti on that the recently rp o premiseswould be advant ageous l y occupied for the men bers anti the profession gener a lly. Telfordr medals were presented to Messrs. Barlow, Snell, Harding, Williams, Parkes, West, and Ritterbandt ; and premiums of books to Messrs. Turnbull, Heppe!, and Ro bertson. Council premiums,iconsisting'of collections of books, of con siderable value, were presented to Messrs. Barlow, knell, and Harding, in addition to the Telford medals. It was announced in the annual report of last year that the council intended establishing these premiums, and from their value, and the stimulus they offer to the competitors, it is hoped they will produce good communications for the meetings. Succint memoirs were given of the deceased members, Messrs. Crane, Deville, Handly, and Winsland. The report entered fully into a description of the altera tions of the building during the recess. It appeared that in consequence of the resolutions of a general aeeting Mr. T. 11. Wyatt, architect, was requested to make certain altera tions, and Mr. G'rissell undertook their execution. Within the short space of four months these have been completed, and all parts are occupied except the theatre, which is vet too damp. The principal works appeared to be the re modelling of the casement story; putting an entirely new foundation beneath, and partly rebuilding the front wall, which has been cased with Caen stone, and decorated in the Italian style, with a portico at the entrance, and balconies to the first and second floors. The ground floor rooms are thrown together, and decorated with oak pan nelling. The rooms t31,,,,i ,tdieeafai oiliertl made to come--""'"` ~ • forminz perfectly in accordance appropriately decorated in a style ~tites of rooms for libraries, the whole very with the destination of the rooms, and the simplicity that • should be adopted public buildings of such a character. The new theatre is so much than the e to ne;i contain tia n n n e w ar 2 l); one hundred persons more feet tugla, lighto,l both by day and night. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously given to Mr. T. 11. Wyatt, the architect, Mr. Griasell, the builder, and Mr. Manby, the secretary, who superintended the execution of the works. In his address, Sir Joutr RENNIE, after alluding to the sti mulus the profession had received ' from T i e r o i s u i n ti r o b n er y. o l f i gh t l i i ie c rl r li k of s uurs r t e rni c ie e er n in t e ly unthrtaken, and the b x e e r r s t „ io i t ru ls, pr i e n ss o e r d de on r institution . had obtained from the successful gp labours ' of its works meeting pport th the h e necessity scientific f to th s e u cha racter they had earned. Far from • being satisfied with what they had done, this feeling should only act as incentive to greater efforts ; but by continuing in the same course, they might arrive at a point as much in advance of the pre sent day as they were now beyond what had been done in the time of Smeaton. He then reviewed the progress that had been made in railway travelling and steam na vigation, and made some valuable remarks upon the formation of bar harbours, the drainage of extensive dis tricts of marsh lands, &c.; and after glancing at the im ' provernents which had taken place in various branches of science, he observed that the present position of civil engineers in Great Britain bad been brought about entirely by the wants of the community, without the en couragement or fostering hand of Royal or Government patronage. The president then remarked upon the appoint ment of civil engineers by Government to investigate into the merits of various projects, which had been submitted to the Health of Towns Cormniss:on, and which he characte rised as a atel in the right direction, and observed that if the same system iad been pursued with regard to railways, and other important works, so as to have enabledman L the Legislature to arrive at correct conclusion s respecting yof the pro jects, the public would have derived infinitely greater advan tages from them than they were likely to do in their pre sent system, as the naval and military officers who bad been appointed on these commissions, however talented In their own profession, and highly honourable and well in tentioned, must, after all, derive their information from civil engineers, who alone would ho competent judges. Neither could he approve of the plan of Interfering too much with private enterprise. The public understood their own interests much better than any Government, and although the present system might have some (Weeds, it had itittifrto worked well.

PRICE SD. yernment with those of private individuals to find that the latter were preferable, whether as regarded celerity, quan tity, or economy of manufacture ; but the moment the con tinental system was followed, and e e rything rendered subservient to Government, the gehera! energy would be cramped and the public works of this country would dwindle into comparative insignificance. Civil engineers were bound to give every aysistance in their power to the Legis lature, in order that public works should be established on the best principles, and the profession should make their services indispensable by their superior knowledge, and the liberality with which they offered them. The Government and the public would then necessarily apply to them, and they would then receive the due reward of their exertions. Unanimous votes of thanks were given to the president, vice-presidents, and other members of council, and to the secretary, for their attention to the interests of the institiu • tion, and the meeting was adjurned to Tuesday evening, February 2, when the following paper was announced to be read :--" An Account of the method employed in laying the permanent way of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, United States," by W. E. Newton. CORN IMPORTATION. A BILL TO SUSPEND, FOR A TI NIE TO BE LIMITED, THE DUTIES ON THE IMPORTA'FAVF CON. Whereas by an Act passed in the se f Parliament holden in the ninth and tenth years of the reign of her pre sent Majesty. intituled, "An Act to amend the Laws re lating to the Importation of Corn," it is enacted, that there shall be levied and paid unto her Majesty, her heirs and suc cessors, on all corn, grain, meal, and flour imported into the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, from parts beyond the seas, and entered for home consumption, until the first day. of February, which will be in the year of our Lord one thou sand eight hundred and forty-nine, certain duties set forth in the schedule to the sail Act annexed : And whereas, by reason of the partial failure of certain crops usually forming part of the subsistence of the people of these islands, it is expedient that, for a time to be limited, no duties should be levied upon the entry for consumption of the said articles or any of them ; Be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That no duties of Customs shall be chargeable upon any corn, grain, meal, or flour already impoted or hereafter to be imported into the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, from parts beyond the seas, and entered for home consumption, after the passing of this Act, and before the first day of September in this present year. And whereas, by a certain other Act passed in the same session of Parliament, intituled, "An Act to alter certain Duties of Customs," the several duties therein mentioned are imposed upon the following articles; (that is to say), buck wheat meal, maize or Indian corn, Indian corn meal, and rice; Now be it in like manner enacted, That no duties of Customs shall be chargeable upon any of the aforesaid arti cles already imported or hereafter to be imported into the United Kingdom, and entered for home consumption, after the passing of this Act, and before the said first day of Sep tember in the present year.

Whereas it. is expedient to allow, fora limited time, corn, maize, grain, meal, flour, rice, and potatoes to be imported in any ship or vessel from any country whatever, and that such articles, warehoused for exportation only, should be allowed to be entered for home consumption ; be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,:and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this Act, and before the first day of September in this present year, it shall and may be lawful for any person or persons to import into the United Kingdom for hcme use, from any country, in any ship or vessel of any country, however navi gated, any corn, maize, grain, flour, meal, lice, or potatoes, the growth or produce of any country, anything in the law of navigation to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding. And be it enacted, that from and after the said passing of this Act, until the said first day of September inclusive, in this present year, any corn, maize, grain, flour, meal, rice, or potatoes, the growth or produce of any country, which may have been warehoused in the United Kingdom for ex portation only, may be entered for home consumption, any thing in the law of navigation to the contrary in anywise not withstanding. WESTMINSTER. ELECTION. Mr. Charles Lushington has promptly replied to the in• vitation of the Westminster Reform Society that he would come forward as a candidate for that city on the next disso lution of Parliament, when Mr. Leader retires from that honourable position. Mr. Lushington's answer to the society is as follows: _ _ " 1, Palace-gardens, Westminster, Jan. 21, 1847. " Sir,—l beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, conveying to me the resolution passed at the last meeting of the Westminster Reform Society, that I be adopted by the society as the candidate to represent the city of Westminster in Parliament as suc cessor to J. T. Leader, Esq., M.P., at the next election. " Be pleased to submit to the society the expression of my deep sense of the honour thus conferred on me, with an inti mation that I shall be prepared to act in conformity thereto when the proper occasion shall arrive. " I am, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, "C. LUSHINGTON. "To George Huggett, Esq., Secretary to the Westminster Reform Society." The independence and thorough Liberal principles of Mr. Lushington will most probably ultimately obtain for him the united and zealous support of the constituency. As a tried public man he requires no compliments and no warranty beyond his own name. WATER SUPPLY OF ROME AND LONDON.—The gy i k t bje sußly to the 1,000,000 inhabitants, of which . Rome being equal to about farv - TaIN tenet 0t0.00 . 212 . cabic feet, This is probably twenty times the . quantity which . London now receives for each of its inhabitants—a fact which goes far to justify the application of the disgraceful term " bath less" to this the largest, the most opulent, and the most powerful city in the world. Ho w miserably insignificant do our waterworks appear, and how trifling the supply they furnish to this mighty city of more than 2,000,000 persons, when contrasted with the immense flood of pure water poured into old Rome by her gigantic aqueducts 1 And how discreditable the difference between the two capitals, when we reflect on the far superior resources which modern sci ence has placed at her command, and on the well-known fact, that through the happy constitution of the strata on which London stands, she has at her command—requiring, as it were, but the smiting of the rock to make them gush forth--boundless supplies of the purest possible water.— Mechanics' Magazine. Mr. Gully, late M.P. for Pontefract, is spoken of as the second Liberal candidate for Andover. —Doncaster Gazette. The Worshipful Company of Saddlers, B. B. Williams, Esq., master, gave a grand entertainment at their Hall, in Cheapside, on Wednesday last, to the Baron Lionel de Rothschild, the Masters of the Worshipful Com panies of Salters, Dyers, Cutlers, and Joiners, all of whom are intimately connected with Ireland. After the usual loyal toasts, the master gave the health of Baron Rothschild, Captain Colegrave, John Barnes, Esq., high:sheriff of the county of Bucks, and the other visitors. The Baron Roths child returned thanks in an appropriate speech, congratu lating the company upon the unanimity existing with so many influential companies, and feelingly entered into the present unfortunate state of Ireland, and concluded by pro posing the health of the master, a very old and sincere friend of his family. The evening was one of great har mony, the musical department being under the able ma nagement of Mr. Moody, and did not terminate until a late hour. BENEVOLENCE.—It was stated yesterday, at a meeting held in the beard-room of the Hospital for Consump tion and Diseases of the Chest, that the late Miss Catherine Lee had bequeathed the sum of 2001. for the uses of the charity; and also that the late William Tyrringham Praed, Esq., the Member for St. Ives, had left 1001, for the same charitable appliance.

The following are the facts of the case :—The master of the house, after giving mister grunter his breakfast, and also enjoying his own, repaired to his work ; shortly after which, his wife went_ r out on a small gossipping excursion, leaving the_ luiek open. After having a little friendly chit chat., the , to her dwelling, and on going to the cra,llB3hae. a_ all the riae ed by clothes smooth and straight, as if some one had (;,aced an in fant to sleep. Wondering how the family ,d increased one so soon, she beoame rather excite , !, and turned re down as the semhlance to cradle quilt to see if the face divl u e bore any that of her liege lord. The reader may, however, guess her astonishment and surprise when, instead of seeing that of u " lovely infant," the snout of a pig presented itself to her view. No doubt, in her youth, she had i heard of the " pig faced lady," which was formerly exhibited n Chadwick's Orchard, at the " low charge of one penny." Bearing that in mind, she thought that the new comer was a second mon strosity, and rushed out of the house in hysterics. After some time, in company with some other neighbours, she re turned to examine more narrowly, when,,,ilo,oabnydibuenhioorl,dmiwteo inmate of the cradle was no other than had climbed over the wall of his stye, turned up the cradle clothes with his snout, and crept quietly unde r them , and laid himself down to enjoy a snouze.—Preston Guardian, FIRE AT QUEENUITIIL—Last night, betwf,,-- and nine o'clock, a tire broke ou t i n the ran -11 eight belonging to Mr. llolskamp, late Adl i vo of premises 1, Queenhithe.
