The joint in which the leakage broke out was below. Mr. Meech= never came into the room whilst I was there, nor do I remember any passengers coming down. On the statement being read over, the witness added that he found the water below the lowest cock —below the first row of tubes. Mr. Boccias, of 6, John-street, Adelphi, patentee of several articles, particularly with respect to gas, stated that he was sitting on the stern of the boat at twelve o'clock on the day before the occurrence. There was a sudden escape of steam near Waterloo bridge, the machinery stopped, the steam was let off by the funnel, and the steam in the engine room having evaporated, the boat proceeded. He did not inquire the cause, but he knew that something wrong was going on. He did not rise to inquire, for fear of alarming the passengers. The whole occurrence did not occupy half a minute. The boat stopped longer at the pier that morning than usual. Did not notice the valve. John Alfred Skinner, living at No. 5, Union-ter race, Deptford, engine -driver, was next examined— He said I have been occasionally employed in the Cricket and the Ant. He seldom remained sta tionary in one boat. I very frequently acted as engi neer to the Cricket. I found the engines to work extremely well. They required no extraneous aid to make them work. The lever valves worked extremely well. I never saw the screw valves work. The only weight I applied to the levers was the weight made by the maker, which I pushed backwards and for wards as occasion required. A pulley and string were placed over the larboard valve to move it up and down to see if it was free. I never twisted that rope round a nail. There were plenty of nails, on which we used to hang our tools, but I did not hang the rope over any of them. When two boats ran, the chief engineer devoted his time to the third boat on the blocks, the engineer of which drove one of the boats which ran. I remained in the em ployment of the company up to the Saturday before the occurrence. I was last engaged in the Cricket on the Saturday when the conversation took place with respect to the valves, by the direction of Clarke, who called me from the Ant to do so, as he wished to speak to Mr. Meecham. On that day I noticed that Edwards was about to tie one of the valves. I told him not to do so, and whilst doing so I noticed that the other valve was tied, and I untied it. The rope which tied the other valve went in a diagonal direction, and was fastened in front of the boiler. Edwards said his ordera from Clarke were to tie the valves whenever the boat started. 1 said he should not do so. I said " Clarke may do as he likes, but it shall not be done while [ am on board." Edwards said, if he did not do it, Clarke did it himself. Edwards added, " I wish you were going to stop, for surely we shall be all blown up together." He added, that when he untied the strings that Clarke used to blame him and re-tie them. 1 spoke to Clarke about the tying of the valves the next day, Sunday, in the pre sence of Buttress, in the Fox-under-the-Hill. The conversation arose out of Buttress saying that he had seen the valves tied very recently, and that he was surprised Clarke did so, after he had been expressly directed by Mr. Meech= not to do so. Clarke came in, and on being taxed with the act, denied it. He (witness) said, "Ask your stoker." Edwards, who was present, replied, " Yes, Tom, you know you do; it is a fact." Clarke was reminded by Edwards that Mr. Meecham had seen them tied, to which he (Clarke) replied, " You are a d— liar, and won't do for me any longer." 1 then heard some words with Clarke, but they were not about the valves. I never saw the valves tied, but on the occasion I have mentioned. The valves in the other boats were not tied. I know that the engines have been left for days in the control of a man whose whole career in engineering science does not date back six months. He acted as fireman at the time of the explosion. I never told the proprietors that some serious accident would occur from the conduct of Clarke. I have stated to Mr. Foletti that I anticipated some serious disaster sooner or later, from the way in which the Cricket was conducted by Clarke. CORONER—Did you say what you anticipated ? Witness—Why, I said nothing more than a blow up.—(Laughter.) I told him that something would happen from leaving an inexperienced hand with the engines. I did not, however, mention to him that the valves were tied. I can't say that I used the words, " There will be a blow up." I have often men tioned it to the captains, the mates, the foremast hands, and others, when I have seen the Cricket coming in a state that no one who knew how tomanage a boiler and engines would allow it to get in. I have mentioned it. I did not mention it to Mr. Smith when I have seen him on my boat, because I was not quite certain that Clarke made a practice of tying the valves. I have seen Mr. Joyce on board of my boat and the Cricket, but I did not mention it to him. I spoke publicly to the crews of the boats about it. Ball, and in fact no man on board the boat, could possibly fail to know that the valves were tied. There was a perpetual motion in the mercury of the Cricket which prevented me from knowing the exact pressure. I have seen the mercury at 36 and 40, but not more. I have however, seen t h e b u bb les up as high as 50. Knowing the inefficient state of the gauge, I did not trust to it, b u t to the valve. The highest pressure I Mr.n Cerhiatebtewrst I eversa Clarke saw in the Sund a y n i ght By ha n d ave a n q ie u i a a r i r o e n l with edrl struck him first, and I dare say half-a•dozen times. It arose w ith respect to a lev e r on the cock at the . back of the condenser of the Cricket. I saw Mr. Meacham frequently ; he usually came down into my engine -room. I thought, like any rational man, that if the steam could not escape, and a fire was kept up, that the boiler must blow up. I did not mention the matter to Mr. Joyce or Mr. Smith, because I thought if Mr. Smith had been a gentleman, he would have listened to the complaint of Ed war d s, and b ecause I should have been discharged like him. Mr M. Chambers—Why were you discharged ? Witness—Because I would not blow up the Ant like the Cricket.—(Laughter.) Examination resumed—They might say he was dis charged, because he employed an improper person to drive for him ; but it was not true. Also, that he had not kept sufficient water in his bodil.edr,hw.sest to b which was caused by some lea k ag e, which he Ant would To other jurymen — repair. Therefore he gTohtethpaumps sack.—(Laughter.) of not on one occasion work w ell, from some cause theA which he could not discover , and in consequence the water was low. I cannot rem ember that I told 1.1 itness, to Mr. James—l had a quarrel with Knight that. I expected there would b e a blow u p . Clarke. Mr. James You burst your boiler and your safety-valve was closed.—(Laughter.) I have seen the Cricket often leave the piers without any steam blowing off, and when she had got as far as South wark-bridge I have seen a sudden escape of steam from the engine -room. I have been in her Majesty's navy, and have had some experience in boilers. The tying of the valves when the word " Stand off" was given would of course prevent any escape of steam. This led me to believe that some accident would occur. All in the company had enough to do. I have worked often from five in the morning till twelve at night, in a temperature of 100 degrees. We are expected not to be absent a minute from the en gine-room. I have often come at four, as it was my business to keep the boat going. During the time the boats are running you are not allowed on any A juryman inquired if there was any further evi dence with respect to the tying of the valves ? The CORONER said there was, but seemed to think that it would be unnecessary to take it. The inquiry was then adjourned until 10 o'clock on Wednesday next, when the evidence of Mr. Lloyd will be taken. "Bell-court, Nos. 1 and 2, let out in tenements. Window frames burned, front of buildings scorched, and furniture considerably damaged by removal. " The fire was extinguished by firemen, and 54 hired auxiliaries. Cause of outbreak not known." DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SHEFFIELD. This morning, about half-past one, a fire was dis covered raging with tremendous fury in the extensive brewery of Messrs. Rawson and Co., of Pond-lane. The watchman immediately gave the alarm to Mr. Birks, one of the proprietors, and a number of men, and shortly afterwards messengers were dispatched for the fire-engines. The small en gine of the North of England, No. 3, was fi rst on the spot, followed quickly by those from the Sheffield Fire-office. Shortly after three o'clock, three engines from each office were ready of water was gines began for in a d a e c q t u i o a n t e , but t he unfortunate necessity. ly I t \ h , e h e s n u p t p h l e y e n to play the whole of the brewery, the malt chamber, and malt kiln, were blazing away with tremendous fury, and continued to do so until after four o'clock, when the roofs fell in with a fearful crash. This was followed by another temporary blaze, but the fire was too far subdued again to break forth with any chance of making further progress. At the commencement of the fire the wind blew freshly from the north, and for some time the flames threatened to communicate with Mr. Birks' house, but before they reached it the wind changed, and thus providentially the house and others were saved from destruction. Inspector Linley, with Sergeants Blackburn, Matthews, and Revell, and a body of the police, were actively em ployed in keeping order, and some of them engaged in removing furniture and valuables from the dwell ing-houses which appeared in danger. On a cursory glance at the premises they appear to be completely gutted, and a quantity of malt was so charred and caked as to smell something like gingerbread. The damage done must be considerable, although, as the fire was burning when our account was taken, the extent of the injury cannot yet be estimated. ,The origin of the conflagration is at present a mystery, but it is supposed to have been accidental. We understand that the property was insured in the Shef field and Sun Fire-offices.—Second Edition of the Sheffield Iris of Thursday. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FRom OUlt OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

DEATU OF LIEUT.-GENERA L SIR HENRY SHEEHY KEATING, K.C.B.—We regret to have to record the de cease of this gallant field-officer, who (lied at Chelten ham, on Sunday last, at the age of 70 years, having served more than fifty years in th e army. Si r H enry entered the army as ensign in 1793, and proceeded to the West Indies with the forces under General Sir Charles Grey. At Martinique he was present at the gallant affair, at La Trinite, and the attack of Monte Rouge, and Monte Calabush, where he had his sword arm broken by a musket shot. At the defence of Bar vine camp, which followed, he had his skull fractured by the splinter of a shell, and being taken prisoner passed a year and a half in confinement on board a prison-ship, and was subsequently taken to Rochelle, where he was a close prisoner for three months. In 1807, being then lieut.-colonel, he proceeded to the East Indies, in 1808 he commanded the land forces in conjunction with a naval force under Commodore Rovvle v , at the attack and capture of St. Paul's, Isle of Bourbori. He was entrusted with the command of a large force (5,000 strong) in 1810, destined for the attack on Bourbon,' and he had the honour to plan the attack and conquest of that island in the most successful manner. He subsequently commanded the advance of the army in the grand attack of the Isle of France, and was again wounded. For his gallant services in the Mauritius, a piece of plate, value five hundred guineas, was given to him by the East stlndiaeemopir the y Bath. . In 1836 he was nominated a knight-commander WITNESSES AT THE COUNTY COURTS.—On Thurs day, at the Bloomsbury County Court, a person was called as a witness, and he refused to give evidence until he was paid his expenses. It appeared that the case had stood over from a former Court for a surveyor to exa mine some property on which the action was brought, and before he gave his evidence be demanded his charge. The attorney who appeared for the plaintiff offered to guarantee the witness his charges, but he required imme diate pa) ment. The Learned Judge (Mr. Heath) held that he could only demand for his attendance as a wit ness, and must give his evidence before he was paid his other charges. His fee as a surveyor, as a witness, was seven shillings, which was all that he could demand. The sum of seven shillings was handed to the witness, and he was required to give his evidence. The Learned Judge laid it down that a witness could decline to be examined until the sum allowed by the scale, under the rules, was paid. TUE BASE T URK ISH COIN CASE.--BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY. —Thi s morn i ng a man of gentlemanly appear ance, named Charles Ellerman, of London, said to be officially connected with the National Disinfecting As sociation, was brought up before the magistrates at the public office, charged with being implicated with Damen (now in Warwick Gaol), and two foreigners, as yet not apprehended, in the manufacturing and issuing of counterfeit Turkish coin. The prisoner, in the absence of the Turkish Consul, was remanded until to morrow. g ht the in- s se, Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. Price Annum. Share. 4 s. d. X I. d.

The squalls and gusts of wind were terrific, and no doubt much damage has been committed at sea. The Mersey presented an awful but picturesque appearance, and was crowded with inward-bound ves sels which had been hurried up by the prevailing west erly winds. The mail steamer for Dublin did not sail yesterday morning or evening, and it was tweve o'clock before this morning's mail from that city was received RIGHT REV. DR. WISEMAN.—We believe it is quite certain that Dr. Wiseman is in communication with the Queen's Government as Envoy from the Holy See. Dr. Wiseman's appointment as Vicar Apostolic of London, ad interim, has come, subsequently to his arrival in England, and has no connexion with his Lordship's diplomatic functions. We understand it is i❑ contem plation to make some alterations in the Roman Catholic dioceses, attrnded, probably, by an increase of the Epis• copate, though not, in the first instance, to any great extent. It is reported that Dr. Wiseman will ultimately occupy an ecclesiastical position in London, essentially the same with that to which he has been already pro moted, but the whole subject is undergoing recision at Rome, and the provisional appointment of his Lordship is intended to obviate the inconveniences of a protracted , vacancy of the Sec. The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the -Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the transaction of the usual business ; James Macgregor, Esq., in the chair; but a small number of shareholders were present, owing, no doubt, to the unfavourable state of the weather. The seal of the company having been affixed to the share register, and the advertisement having been read, The CHAIRMAN read the report, which stated— " The directors submit to the proprietors the state ment of accounts of the South-Eastern and Conti• nental Steam-packet Company . for the half-year ending 31st of July, 1847, which shows a balance at the disposal of the proprietors of 4,732/. 3s. 3d. " The directors recommend a dividend of Bs. per share, the income-tax being paid by the company. " The passage between Ramsgate and Ostend was ' kept up during last winter at a considerable loss, but for which the dividend would have been larger. The directors will not continue the Ramsgate and Ostend passage this year after the end of October. " The passage as now performed between Folke stone and Boulogne, was three each way daily, and there is no doubt when the Boulogne and Amiens line of railway is completed that there will be a great increase in the number of passengers. " It is stated that the line will be opened from Amiens to Nesles, which is six miles from Boulogne, on the 15th of October, and from Nesles to Boulogne in January. " This company will be able to meet the increased requirements of the public, when the Boulogne and Amiens line is opened, in the most efficient manner." The CHAIRMAN concluded by moving the adoption of the report. The receipts for the half-year were 12,529/. ss. 9d. and the expenditure 7,797/. 2s. 6d., leaving a balance of 4,7321. 3s. 3d., and after the payment of the divi dend and income-tax, 153/ 12s. 3d. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the payment of the dividend above referred to, which was unanimously passed. Mr. SMALE, a director, seconded the proposition for the reception of the report, and in doing so stated, that every additional mile of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway,.that was opened brought them an accession of traffic, and when the whole of the line was opened they might look forward to a great increase in the amount of dividend. The Boulogne and Abbeville railway was 40 miles in length, 32 miles of which would be opened by the middle of next month, leaving little more than six miles to be completed ; and when it was completed there was no doubt that the whole, in its progress between the capitals of the two countries, would pass over it, using the eight noble vessels possessed by the company, for their pas sage from coast to coast. The boats he might appro priately term a bridge between the two empires ; they must pass by their boats, which in construction and speed were fit to compete with any navy, and they must pay the company toll, yielding, therefore, a handsome revenue. Many of his prophecies, with respect to the South Eastern had been fulfilled, and he had no doubt •that his prophecies with respect to the company would a l so b e fulfilled.—(Cheers ) The motion wa s th en agree d to. Robert Ca s tl e , E sq ., an d J o h n B rag d en , Esq., were elected dire c t ors ; th e f ormer i n th e place of Mr. Mills, and the l a tt er o f M r . Rich, M.P., who had resigned. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRM A N confidently trusted that Mr. Smale's predictions would be realised, and that they would receive an increased dividend. In fact, he had no doubt about it. Three cheers having, on the motion of Mr. Judd, been awarded to the Chairman and directors, the meeting separated. THE Fouit NEW BISHOPRICS.—It has been ar rat ged that as soon as the new Bishop of Manchester is consecrated, which will take place in October, three new episcopal s, es will be formed, namely, the bishopric of Southwell, comprising part of the present see of Lin coln; the bishopric of Bodmin, comprising the whole of Cornwall, now under the episcopal supervision of the Bishop of Exeter ; and the bishopric of St. Alban's comprising the whole of Hertfordshire, at present com p' ised within the see of Rochester, RUGBY ScnooL.—ln consequence of the death of the Rev.

GERY.—The magistrates appear to have at length made some discoveries respecting the perpetra tion of the murder at M. Evenepoel's. Up to a late hour yesterday night, great activity was manifested in the chamber of the Judge of Instruction. It is reported that a liberated gaily slave, respecting whom some suspicions were enter tained, has been taken into custody, but as yet nothing certain is known respecting the ground of arrest, or the name or circumstances of the person apprehended. We do not remember that any crime ever created so great a sensation at Brussels as this has done. Everybody seems ready to facilitate the discovery of the offenders, and the inhabitants of Molenbeck St. Jun have set on foot a subscription for the discovery of the murderers. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12. The King' Attorney for the circle of Brussels has given notice that a reward of 3,000 f. will be paid to any one who will give to the judicial authorities such information as will lead to the discovery of the authors or accomplices of the triple murder in the house of M. Evenepoel. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—The average price of corn, during the week ending Sept. 11, was—wheat, 24f. 92c., rye, 14f. 93c., being a rise on wheat, if. 35c., rye, ]t. 76c. HELLVOETSLUTS, SEPT. 12.—A very melancholy accident took place here this morning. The letter boat of the transport-ship Frederick Hendrick, which was lying in the roads, was unfortu nately upset by the wind, in consequence of which three persons lost their lives. Several young sailors deserve the highest praise for the exertions they made in saving the rest of the crew. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE DANISH COLOSIES. The resolution of the King of Denmark respecting the abolition of slavery in the Danish West India Colonies, which was mentioned some time ago, has this day been officially announced. The tenor of the draft, dated the 26th July, is as follows : " Christian VIII., by the grace of God King of Denmark, " Under a sense of justice and philan throphy, and taking into our royal conside ration the well being' of our colonies in the West Indies, and the interests of the planters in the colonies, we hereby desire the arbitrary power which the owners of slaves now exercise over them shall be wholly put an end to; but in order to protect all those who are concerned, and that the necessary measures may be taken for preparing those who are in a state of slavery, that change shall not take place till after the expiration of twelve years from the date of the announcement of this resolution, and during that period matters shall remain in their present state. " In the meantime, it is our royal will and pleasure that all children of slaves born after the date of this our declaration shall be considered free. They shall remain either with their mothers, or relations, or grand parents; which we have further resolved to confirm." By another resolution, dated the same day, the King has commanded the formation of a commission of persons belonging to the Colonial Government, whose daty it will be to propose laws and regula tions which may be adopted for the carrying out of the foregoing resolution ; and also who, after the liberation of the slaves, shall secure the maintenance of the regular and due cultivation of the plantations by free labourers. The Gazette of IVarzburg states that the Bavarian Government is about to submit to the Chamber of Commerce in the kingdom a project for the uniform legislation of letters of exchange. A meeting of the delegates of the different German Governments will take place next month at Leipsic, for the purpose of discussing the proposed project of the Prussian Go vernment, and fur making it known to the States of the German Confederation. The Augsburg Gazette states that Rossini has been appointed Captain of the Civic Guard of Bo logne.

It is said that the com munications which he has brought from St. Peters burgh relate to the Italian relations. The Ambas sador at the Court of Waldsee arrived from Russia some days ago. The Russian Ambassador resident here, Count Meelem, is preparing for a journey to the Russian capital. VIENNA, SEPT. B.—His Majesty the King of Prussia arrived in cognito at Bruck on the 3d, when he was received by the Archduke John. Several persons had the honour of dining with his Majesty, and at four o'clock he proceeded by express train to Gratz, the beautiful situation of the environs of which were greatly admired by his Majesty. At six o'clock he proceeded to Cilli, and on the following morning at six o'clock proceeded on his way to Trieste and Venice.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER ♦ND LEEDS RAILWAY.—The mournful account of the death of Mr. Weston, Surveyor-General of her Majesty's Customs, by the accident on the Manchester and Leeds Railway, the particulars of which was announced in our Third Edition of last night, was received at the Custom House with deep regret. Mr. Weston's long connexion with the service, together with his bland and gentle manly deportment, had caused him to behlghly esteemed by the officers of all departments. The deceased was senior Surveyor-General, we believe, and was in his 64th year. His only surviving brother is collector of Weymouth. This shocking event will plunge two amiable and excellent " families in deep affliction. Mr. Weston was married, but has left no family. RETURN or HER MAJESTY VIA 'FLEETWOOD.—It is now confidently expected that her Majesty will not arrive at Fleetwood, on her return from the north, until Monday next. The directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company are making suitable pre parations for the conveyance and accommodation of such of the lieges as are anxious to witness the royal debarka tion, and due notice will he given of the time when it may be expected to take place. At present nothing is officially certain on the subject. For our own part we right loyally hope that her Majesty, stout sailor as she is, will not put to sea until the equinoctial gales are over. —Liverpool Mercury. The firm of Eicels and Co., of Venice, which were largely engaged in the corn trade, has failed for 1,000,000 f. _ _ We regret to announce the death of Mr. Charles Taylor, for many years a member of the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, and for a lengthened period one of the most popular comic singers of his day. lie expired after a long illness on -Thursday last, at Greenhithe, Kent. Madlle. Deluzy was interrogated on Wednesday by M. Broussais, Juge d'lnstruction. It is said it was only then that she learned from that magistrate the coath of the Duke de Praslin by poison. The intelli gence caused her a violent nervous attack.

TEA.—There is not so mush desire shown on the part of holders of the better description of Congou to realise this week, but the amount of business concluded has been to a moderate extent only; still the supply is less plentiful. For the lower qualities there is, however, a good demand, and Lull rates are obtained, as merchants offer but a moderate quantity for sale. Pouchong sells steadily at 5d to 9d for low to good. Souchong is little required. Fine Green Tea is dull of sale, and prices tend downwards, as there is an increasing supply, but low and middling sorts continue in good demand owing to the low rates that prevail. Scented Teas are in moderate demand low as prices are. The value of Caper is 8d to is 6d per lb. None has been submitted to public competition since this day week, whilst the arrivals during that period were of little moment, but the quantity taken for home con sumption was large, whilst the deliveries for exportation were to a fair extent. Corrosr —There has been a decrease in the demand for East India this week, whilst holders have been more inclined to realise, and the limited business transacted by private treaty was upon rather lower terms. The public sales yesterday of 1,959 bales of Surat went off with heaviness, and only 800 bales were actually sold at prices showing a fall on those of this day week of id per lb.

Of Havannah Rum there are further arrivals, but the chief part is being vatted for the purpose of shipment to Greece and Italy, on account of the importers. The value of proof is is Bd. In Brandy of any kind there has been little passing, and prices remain as pre viously, at which there are free sellers.

For British Corn Spirits and Gin prices are the same as last week, but with a quiet market. SPICES.—For black Pepper of all kinds the demand has been more active.

White is held with more firmness, and none offered at auction: privately several sales have been made at gd to 5d for common to fine. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked, but exporters as well as the home trade are less inclined to do business, and 12 pkgs at auction were taken in. Mace has been sought after, but the supply is small, and prices are firm. For Cinnamon there are few purchasers; sales can be made upon terms of last quarterly auctions whilst there is a fair supply of all kinds. For the better qualities of Cloves there are not many buyers, but other sorts are wanted, and of such the supply is small. Cassia Lignea is still in short supply, and all kinds being wanted, prices continue on the advance. RlCE.—There has been a decrease in the demand for all descriptions of East India this week, whilst importers have been more inclined to realise, and plentifully sup plying the market produced a decline in prices of 3d to 6d per cwt. Of the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 12,247 bags, not about half found buyers. Privately exporters and the home trade have operated with caution, and on the part of speculators little desire has been manifested to buy. Patna has been in excel lent demand. For Arrowroot there is rather more de mand, but prices do not improve. COCHINEAL is still only in limited demand, and the market continuing to be liberally suppiied, prices have suffered a further depression of Id per lb; indeed the quantity brought to market is still exceeding the wants of exporters and the home trade. At auction 291 bags Honduras were disposed of. Oms.—Although there are further arrivals of Fish Oils, still holders have shown firmness this week, and refrained from offering any at public sale, but there is no improvement to notice in the demand from exporters or the home trade, and a fair quantity is held by im porters.

For forward delivery there are sellers at 26s to 26s 3d, but few buyers are to be met with.

When the Government trains started at a penny per mile it was hailed as a boon by the public, but the rates of the cheap trains leave them far behil,cl in price, while they are equally comfortable. Computing the distance going and returning, the third-zlass (covered carriages) is, within afraction, five-sevenths of a farthing per mile! second-class a fraction over a halfpenny per mile ! ! and the first-class within the merest fraction of three farthings and a half !!! Verily, these are the days of cheap fares, and we would venture to aver that, by this time twelvemonths many will have seen the Scottish metropolis and Scottish lochs and scenery, who, had fares continued as in days of yore, would never have thought of it. SOUTHAMP TON. T he old and highly-respectable firm of Westlake and Co., corn-merchants, of this town, has been obliged to suspend payment. They were always considered very wealthy, and belonged to the Society of Fiiends. They have issued a circular to their creditors. Their liabilities are variously estimated, 160,000/. being the lowest. MALT AND SUGAR.—The ale and porter brewed from two thirds malt and one-third sugar is very supe rior to that brewed from all malt ; it. is stronger, finer, and keeps better; no weather affects it, end the flavour is very superior. Some brewers still brew entirely from malt, but .they will not be able long to compete with those who use sugar; they can brew cheaper, and produce a better article, and one which is as fine as sherr y when a fortnight old.—From one who kno ws h ow to b rew ) : THE BISHOP or RIPON.—The Right Rev. the Bishop of Ripon is now on a triennial visitation of his diocese. His Lordship observed that he was a ware that many pious young m en o f t h e m id dle class e s, who had t not the means or o pp ortun i ty of studying for the ministry, were, for want of a proper sphere of action in the Church, driven to join the Dissenters. He therefore recommended every incumbent to look round in his owa neighbourhood among such pious young men, and to propose to him the one who appeared the best qualified for the work. He (the Bishop) would then examine him, and, if approved of, would appoint him a Scripture reader. The duty of such parties would be to visit from house to house, hold meetings. read the Bible to the people, and also the Common Prayers; but they would be required to abstain from preaching. After two years of a zealous and efficient discharge of these duties, they would enjoy the privilege of being admitted to ?rdina den as deacons, after a second examination by himself. 1 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Two elevens of these important branches, connecting links of the same chain which diffuse knowledge throughout the habitable globe, having agreed a short time since to try their wil lows for a good spread, the fix was arranged for the tee. total ground at Pitsmoor, near Sheffield, a pretty good indication that sobriety was intended as the order of the day. Shortly after ten o'clock, the rain having ceased, the wickets were pitched, and Mr. Hague appointed as umpire for the typefounders whilst Mr. W a t son , of Sampson's Ground, held a similar o ffi ce for the printers. It must be noted that the latter were selected from the various offices in the town, but the former eleven were men solely in the employ of Messrs. Stephenson and Co., of Sheffield. The typelounders went in first. The play throughout was excellent, taking the field and batting, and, although the typefounders were the victors, as will be seen by the score beneath, the greatest unanimity rr.- vailed. Another match is intended, but the when and the whereabouts we are not in possession of. The following is the score :—Typefounders—first innings 95; second ditto, 52. Printers—first innings, 51; second ditto, 41.—Sheffield === ------ WOOLWICH MARINE AND DOCK-YARD SCHOOLS,.. theago established a The Rev. J. C.

The depression in the coal trade is stated to be so great at the present moment, that unless some relief be afforded, sixty thou sand workmen must be immediately thrown out of em ployment. It is understood that the suggestion to be made to the Government will be for the issue of 5,000,0001. of bank-notes for six months, on the de posit of valid securities. If this measure be not adopted, there is, unfortunately, too good ground to fear that not only the collieries of Northumberland but the mills of Lancashire will be stopped, and the great trade of the country indefinitely suspended.—Post. THE QUEEN'S .AVIARY. —The order g i ven b y h er Majesty, th a t during her absence in Scotland the royal aviary or poultry yard at Frogrnore should be open to the admission of visitors, has been taken advantage of by so many persoz.s, that it was found necessary to with draw the privilege, and prohibit the issue of more tickets sonic days ago. Such numbers presented them selves that the place was literally besieged by mobs of well-dressed persons, who conducted themselves with so little decorum, that the keepers of the aviary became alarmed for the safety of the birds.
