London. By order of the Board, THOMAS KEOGH, Assistant -Secretary. E. N. BUXTON, BART. ROMFORD, WEDNESDAY.—Last evening one of the most magnificent demonstrations in favour of Liberal principles ever witnessed in the county of Essex took place in this town, which from an early period of the day presented a most animated appearance in conse quence of the intense interest display( (1 by the Liberal electors of this division of Essex. This interest was increased by the fact that it had become generally known that some measures would be adopted for re turning another Liberal Member, in conjunction with Sir Edward North Buxton, whenever another elec tion should take place. The dinner yesterday was attended by a large number of freeholders from the principal towns in t h e southern division of the c oun ty. Mr. B. W. Rawlins, pr es id e d, and was supported by Mr. Owen Gray, M r . A s hd ow n, Mr. C. Buxton, Messrs. Collier, Higgs, M acar thy, Ray, Curtis, Wode house, Havers, Bartlett, Towson, Woodfine, C. Raw lins, Last, Hobbs, Brittain, Rankin, &c. The dinner was served in excellent style, and consisted of all seasonable delicacies. Sir E. N. Buxton presented a remarkably fine buck. The chair was taken at six o'clock, and after the dinner the toasts of the Queen and Prince Albert were given from the chair, and were received with the usual loyal demonstrations. Mr. B. W. RAWLINS (the chairman) gave " Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Ministers," and said that, by returning Sir Edward Buxton, they had already declared their approbation of the princi ples and measures of that nobleman and his colleagues. He felt certain that they all agreed with him in con sidering that in the difficult position in which this suffer country was placed with respect to the other nations o A f lin E is u t r e o r p s, e, fee th li e n y g assured that would mightden dthuerh her not Majesty's the British name to be tarnished.—(Loud cheers.) The toast having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had the honour of proposing was the health of a gentleman whose triumphant return for that division of the county they had met to celebrate.—(Loud cheers.) That triumph, he would confidently assert, was without parallel in electioneering annals. He had to congratulate them and the country upon the suc cessful result of a contest of no ordinary importance. They were not met there either to mislead their friends or insult their foes, and he would not hesitate to declare his conviction that the meeting which recently took place at Colchester was held for the express purpose of misleading the friends of the Tory party and of insulting their opponents.—(Cheers.) Their procession, but more especially the device in the waggon, were puerile and disgraceful, and cal culated to mislead and gull the people. They exhibited the large loaf, the rich cheese, the fat bacon, and the fed poultry as the food of the English agricultural labourer, and the small black loaf; watercresses, and cabbage as being the only food of foreigners Of the same class. Even in Essex, unfortunately, the first part would not be believed, and even in Essex the latter part, he hoped, would not obtain credence. It may, however, be said that there was some truth in that device, he would therefore not dwell longer on that point, but there could be no doubt as to the speeches that were made on that occasion. They called the Colchester gathering the celebration of - a triumph, a Conservative triumph. Where was their triumph at Maldon ? Where was their triumph at Colchester? Had they triumphed at Harwich ? And he need not say how they triumphed in that, the southern division of the county. No, they had sus tained severe losses, and felt sure they would never recover them.—(Cheers.) Let them contrast that meeting at Colchester with the previous meeting to celebrate the return of the Conservative ten at Chelms ford. The triumph of which they boasted at Col chester was the logs of four of that ten. At that meeting Sir John Tyrrell, from whom, from his posi tion, one might expect some degree of decorum, indulged in some jocular remarks upon Buxton's entire, Hardcastle's small beer and half and half representation, whilst at the same time he seemed carefully to avoid political topics. Sir John Tyrrell well knew that his party were in a very critical position between Lord John Russell's party on one side, and Sir Robert Peel and his supporters on the other. He therefore threw out a bait by saying Lord John Russell might, if he liked, be as good a Con servative as any other man. They knew well enough what that meant. Sir John Tyrrell, in effect, said, grant us some few things, and my party will support you. They were, however, quite certain that Lord John Russell would consider such en overture an insult.—(Cheers.) If Lord John sought for support it would be from Sir Robert Peel, so that by associ ating with that great man he might be better able to meet the exigencies of the times.—(Loud cheers.) Sir Robert Peel, whatever may be said to the contrary, has been a consistent man, shaping his course to the circumstances of the day. It was ridiculous to charge Sir Robert Peel with inconsistency, unless they were content to accept Mr.lSmijth's views of consistency, who would have the principles which prevailed in Queen Elizabeth's time in operation at present. At that Colchester meeting, Major Beresford declared that he never, under any circumstances, would sup port Sir R. Peel, but that he pinned his colours to the standard of Lord Stanley, who, he said, had given up power and place for principle. Did it not suggest itself to such as made use of that argument that it told as much for Sir Robert Peel as for Lord Stanley ; for had not Sir Robert Peel given up power and place for the principles he advocated ? Had he not aban doned public position and private friendship for the cause of his country ?—(Loud cheers.) With respect to what more immediately concerned them—the recent contest for their division of the county—ac cording to all accounts, Mr. Smijth came forward unsolicited as a candidate for their suffrages, upon the strength of his being descended from an old and and honourable family in that county, and his having hoisted a blue flag, which he considered was sufficient to render his success certain.—(L a ughter.) Sir Edward Buxton was then solicited to come forward on liberal and independent principles. He, after some hesitation, consented to be put in nomination, thereby giving the electors an opportunity of res cuing the southern divisson of Essex from Tory thraldom, and of that opportunity they had nobly availed themselves.—(Loud cheers.) These two can didates being both untried men, they had only their speeches and private characters to judge by. Mr. Smijth had only told them that if returned he would do all he could to re-enact those laws which he felt satisfied were abolished for ever. He, of course, al luded to the corn-laws. He further said that he would on all occasions oppose Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel, the latter of whom he denied to be either consistent or talented. Now Sir Edward Bux ton presented himself with a character descended from his father, whose name was familiar with every (min who knew anything of public affairs —(Hear, hear.) Every one knew the name of Buxton, the noble and eloquent advocate for the abolition of sla very—(Cheers.) There was from the first but little doubt which would be selected. They had selected a gentleman who not only would represent his con stituents, but also those who had no votes. In Sir Edward Buxton they had a representative in the House determined to su pport her Majesty's Minis ters, and who he bad no doubt would be found at his post whenever questions of implodrt.fence were to be dis cussed, and that his votes wouut the ulfil l their best ex pectations. He had therl.rbEdward easing duty of proposing the health of sir North Buxton, Bart., M.P. The toast was drunk with tumultuous applause. Mr. CHARLES BUXTON rose to acknowledge the compliment, and was most warmly gr ee t e d. H e said, on behalf of his brother, he tendered them his thanks for the manner they had received the mention of his name. It would hardly become him to con gratulate them upon letting his brother into Parlia ment, but he might without impropriety be permitted to congratulate them upon keeping Mr. Smijth out. —(Laughter.) The Tories set up their Elizabethan notions, and were astonished that oth e r s were in clined to go on making progress. They held that no innovation ought to be permitted, and considered as highly dangerous any attempt to promot% the well being of the community. Their plan, on the con trary, was to assist, not to oppose the course of nature, and whilst looking to the past not to forget the future. The Tories hoped to have brought in men whose notions of progress somewhat assimilated to the idea of the Coggeshall volunteers, who advanced by taking their steps backwards.— (Laughter.) H e trusted that they had that day laid the foundation of future triumphs, for at no period had it ever been more important than at the present to have men of fixed and inde pendent principles in the House of Commons. No one who had travelled on the Continent could fail to have observed how closely foreigners followed the ex ample set by England ; and although they professed to feel contempt for this country, envy y was the real feeling that actuated them. Prussia had recently obtained a constitution so similar in many respects with that of England, that it was impossible not to arrive at the conclusion that it was formed upon our model. In Italy and other states of Europe a po- 5 pular feeling is springing up, and as far as they were a new light had then dawned on South Essex. That light, he trusted, would ere long dawn L 0 ND O N to BOULOGNE , DIRECT, at ItEDITCED FARES. ?IA co Saloon, 12s. ; Fare Cabin, Se. _ ,MMETICIAL COMPANY'S' splvndid Steam-sbips CITY of I;,`;Li-K.XE EMEItALD will Wave London -bridge W hart r 7 Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday (weather permitting).

Several other toasts were drunk, amongst which were " Civil: and Religious Liberty," " The 1,729 Electors who:voted for Sir E. N. Buxton," " The Chairman," " Mr. Charles Buxton," &c. It was resolved, that at the next vacancy for the county, whenever that might occur, Mr. Charles Buxton or Mr. Charles Gurney (son of Mr. Samuel Gurney, the banker) should be put in nomination with Sir E. N. Buxton. The convivialitirs were kept up until day began to dawn. NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR PRO MOTING THE REAL REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE. Last night a public meeting of the association known by the above title was held at the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, which was crowded by a large assembly chiefly composed of the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets, amongst whom there was a considerable number of ladies. It was announced previously that Mr. G. Thomp son, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, would take the chair at half-past seven o'clock ; but, as the Hon. Gentleman did not appear at the time specified, it was agreed to postpone the commencement of the proceedings till eight o'clock. At that hour Mr. Thompson had not come forward, and Mr. Ebenezer Clark, having been called to the chair, proceeded to explain the object of the meeting. Soon after Mr. Thompson entered, amid loud cheering, and explained that he had just come from Yorkshire to redeem the pledge he had given to preside on the occasion, and that he should have been present at the hour appointed but for an untoward detention on the railway between Rugby and London, which detention was not rendered a whit more pleasant by its having taken place in the very centre of the longest tunnel on the line. The chair was then vacated by Mr. Clark, in favour of Mr. Thompson, and the business proceeded. Mr. DICK, the secretary of the Alliance, reported that since the late general election he had received two or three valuable contributions to the funds. One of these was a subscription of 51. from Mr. John Norton, of Lincoln ; another was a sum of 101. from the Earl of Radnor—(Great cheering)—and the third was a donation of 501. from one who styled himself "A friend to the cause."—(Cheers.) Dr. Errs then moved the following resolution : " That every House of Commons hitherto elected under the provisions of the Reform Bill has contained a majority of Members having no claim to the confi dence of the earnest friends of civil and religious liberty ; and therefore this meeting is of opinion that the time has arrived for creating a great national movement for the purpose of extending to the whole people their political rights." He ridiculed the idea which many people attempted to impress upon them, that they possessed anything like real civil and religious liberty in this country. What was the tact as regarded the franchise? There were 6,000,000 male adults in the country, and yet not more than 1,000,000 of these possessed the right to vote for representatives in Parliament. In these circumstances it was impossible that society could ever be safe; and he therefore rejoiced in the present movement for extending the representation of the people. It was a movement begun and promoted by men who could have nothing to gain by disturbance. They were men who during the last agitation for the same object kept aloof, because they saw the cause injured by the manner in which that agitation was promoted.—(Hear, hear.) He was persuaded that they were at the commencement of a mighty movement,—that if ordinary discretion and prudence were exercised they would as effectually rouse the na tional mind as the Anti-Corn-law League had done in its successful efforts for the abolition of the corn laws.—(Cheers.) He then congratulated the electors of the Tower Hamlets in their selection of such a man as Mr. Thompson to be their representative, and ex pressed his confident belief that that gentleman would succeed in securing for himself a respectful and atten tive •hearing in the new House of Commons, just as Mr. Cobden had done, notwithstanding all the efforts made to crush him.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. BROOKS seconded the resolution. lie ob served that the National Alliance was intended to embrace men of every class, sect, and creed,—their object was to unite all the friends of civil and reli gious liberty in one immense body ; to teach them principles of self-reliance, and to enable them to carry out their views in a spirit of firm but peaceful deter mination, very different from that ebullition of phy sical-force feeling which broke out during the last agitation for the extension of the suffrage.—(Hear, hear.) They were anxious to avoid even the appear ance of physical force, and to establish their resistance to oppression and their demand for equal rights on a higher an .1 more rational principle.—(Cheers ) The resolution was then unanimously adopted. Mr. FRASER (a working man) moved the following resolution : " That the National Alliance, formed for promoting the union of all Reformers, and having for its object the real representation of the people in Parliament, is worthy of the support of all classes, because it seeks to extend the suffrage to every man of full age ; to protect his vote by ballot ; to abolish property quali fications; to establish electoral districts ; to provide for the just remuneration of Members of Parliament, and to have Parliament elected for a short and fixed duration." He gave his support to the National Alliance because he thought it was likely to bring together the scat tered elements of democracy, which, powerless in a state of isolation, were, when combined, organized, and directed, irresistible as the mountain torrent that swept every obstacle before it. He supported the Alliance, too, because it strod virtually upon the principles of the Charter, and upon the bill of rights of the Complete Suffrage Association.—(Cheers.) As a Chartist he gave the gentlemen who had formed this alliance the right hand of fellowship, and hoped that however such men as Macaulay might babble about the extension of the suffrage, and talk of " going back to a state of barbarism," the union of all the true friends of the people would effectually secure to every man the just right which he possessed by nature of exercising a voice in the formation of the laws he was called on to obey.—(Cheers.) Colonel THOMPSON, M.P., seconded the resolution, and observed that there could be neither. peace nor concord in a country where a large proportion of the people were deprived of their just rights, and so long as they felt the gross injustice of the deprivation under which they laboured.—(Cheers.) He rejoiced to know that at the late election there were exhibited many symptoms of great progress having been made in the cause of popular rights. The ,tone of their adversaries had been greatly moderated. One set of them, the Tories, had gone off the field altogether, and left it to a gentle lamb-like thing called " Con servative," the members of which had raised their gentle voices in a very subdued strain against the friends of an extended suffrage.—(Laughter.) And if they looked at the friends of the Liberal cause — the moderate-going friends of popular rights, they found that in many places their conduct had under gone a very promising change.—(Hear, hear.) He came from a place (Bradford) that had given the most marked proof of progress in this direction.— (Cheers.) There was no place in England where extension of the suffrage walked in such good clothes as it did there..— (cheers and laughter.) And why ? Because those - who were formerly spat at for having holes in their jackets, had evinced in their whole conduct a prudence, a judgment, and a pro• priety that gave the lie to the abuse with which they had been assailed.—(Cheers.) There was not a power in this country that could prevent the working classes, when they conducted themselves with pro priety and in an orderly spirit, from taking their right position in society. If they themselves chose they need not longer remain as a slave class, to use an expression uttered by a great man whose voice they would never listen to again. And why should the working men remain as they were ? Was not everything changing ? Were not new modes of me chanism introduced into every species of art and ma nufacture ? and was the political pos ition of the by ? working classes alone to stand unchange d ? He would noCbelieve it. The comm on sense of man kindbe must retrograde — their judgments must wheeled backwards, before such an anomaly could exist.--(Cheers.) The Gallant Colonel concluded—(Chee —(Cheers.) Was there to be no improvement in their condition expressing his satisfacti on at place, and t f he operative and middle c lasses o which had that day tak en expressed his be lief that it was an ea rnest of man y similar unions all the union r between the lower hamlets over the country. The resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. E. MIALL, of the Nonconformist, moved the third resolution, which was as follows : " That this meeting pledges itself to the earnest and active support of the movement, and that indivi duallywill place themselves in connexion with andit, they usetheir utmost endeavours, both pecuniary and otherwise, to p romote its success." He stated that the attachment which he had formed to the People's Charter was excited totally and exclu sively by his study of Christianity, and that when he saw large masses of his fellow-countrymen deprived of tho ;igbts of CitizeUbirl end treated as 5111 M, he [ PRICE SD. felt himself bound solemnly to avow his convictions before his fellow-religionists. He contended that there had never been a real representation of the people of England, and never would be till the prin ciples of the Alliance were carried out. The speaker went on at some length to advocate these views, and concluded by moving the res o l u ti on . Mr. H. VINCENT seconded the resolution. He con tended that England owed everything to progres s , socially, politically, m en t a lly, a nd re ligiously. .ng Eng land was the child of pr ogress , and could any one believe that now it was to be fur ever stemmed, and the great bulk of her population left without the enjoyment of their rights ? He then stated what ought to be the line of policy pursued by the Na tional Alliance. Their great object should be to con vert the middle and propertied classes to their views ; but they must not merely content themselves with popular sympathies, they must also have generous contributions of money. He asked why the millions of England did not place at the disposal of their best friends a fund large enough to enable them to fight the battle of freedom with their opponents ? They were richer than their opponents ; and in the accu mulated savings of the multitude there was the secret of a stupendous power never yet wielded on the side of freedom.—(Cheers.) It was proposed also to do their best to extend the franchise under the present system. At a meeting at Norwich, where he was present on the previous evening, a plan was pro pounded by which the working classes might soon possess themselves of the county constituencies. It was based on the movement of the Anti-Corn law League, with this distinction, that it was pro posed to create several separate organizations tor the purchase of freehold votes in the counties of England. The society contemplated the exist ence of different parties —lst, Those who chose to pay 11. a month ; 2d, Those who paid 108. a month ; 3d, Those who paid 58. a month; and 4th, Those who chose at'once to pay for freeholds, or to do so by certain stated instalments. In Norwich hundreds of members would join this society. It was intended to concentrate its efforts for a time in one or two coun ties, and as soon as a sufficient number of voters were created then to extend its operation. In this way it was probable that in Norwich and the neighbouring districts 50 voters would be created a month.— (Hear.) Now, he wanted the National Alliance to further institutions like this, so that while they were instructing the people they should at the same time be doing something practically to increase their power. —(Cheers.) Mr. Vincent then pointed out the im portance of contesting every borough that became vacant, and concluded by insisting upon the neces sity of giving the people political power, were it only to oppose the centralizing spirit of the Government. The resolution was then agreed to, and it was an nounced that the only qualification for the Alliance was the payment of ls. and upwards. Thanks were then voted to Mr. Thompson for his conduct in the chair, and that gentleman having shortly acknowledged the honour, the meeting sepa rated a little before eleven o'clock.

They restore the tone of the stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, cleanse tho bowels of all impurities, and promote the due secretion of the liver and of the kidneys, and by invigorating the system gene rally, become an invaluable restorative of health to both sexes. OFFICERS of the ARMY and NAVY will find these Pills an in valuable appendage to their medicine chests, as they retain their me dicinal virtues in all climates.

THE MONUMENTS SOLILOQUY On Fish-street-hill I stand, and gaze around On London's City, with its scenes surprising, And while I listen to each busy sound, I really cannot help soliloquising. Here have I risen, since the conflagration Which spread its flames in Slatteen-sixty-slx, And many are the scenes for o bse r vation, On 'which at dyers times I've had to flx: Fre seen the establishments of trade arising, And launching speculations groat and small, And now I witnis MSES' mart surprising, The undisputed rival of thou all. In London's City much arrests attention, But, by Sir Christopher, I do avow, That Messrs. MOSES' claim the greatest mention, For ne'er has London seen their Ike till now. I've noticed MOSES' trade in all its channels, I've seen their garments elegantly smart, And 'tis my firm belief that London's annals Contain no record of so great a mart. On Fish-stroet-hill I stand and gaze around On all that London's trading scene discloses, But not a single object have I found More wondrous than the princely lionise of NIOSE3. LEST OF PRICLS.

EMIGRATION FROM LIN-EarooL.—The amount of emigration from Great Britain and Ireland has this year far surpassed that of any previous one, as will be seen from the following returns of emigration from this port alone:—To the United States, 77,403; Canada, 27,666; New Brunswick, 1,479; Nova Scotia, 171; Prince Edward's Island, 444; other places, 311;—total, 107,474. This is the return made up to yesterday. Of this vast number of emigrants, two-thirds were Irish, and of the remaining one-third two-fifths were Scotch bud English, and one fifth German, of whom a larger number than formerly left this port during the past season. It is worthy of remark that in the emigration office here there is but a staff of five or six men to in spect all this mass of emigrants previous to their de parture, and also to perform the onero us d u t y o f surveying all the:ships. The insufficiency of this staff, and also of the laws by which the emigration from this country is at present i governed, have been b u t t oo pain fully demonstrated n the fatal contagion which h as raged on board most of those ships during the passage, and also in the fearful malady which they hav e car ried to our North American colon i es.—Liverp oo l Times.

On Saturday evening last a most cold-blooded murder was committed near the Don Pottery at Mexborough, between Doncaster and the Swinton station, on the North Midland Railway. The unfortunate victim is a man named Caleb Barker, who was in the employ of Mr. Barker, the proprietor of the Don Pottery, as warehouseman. The circumstances under which the unfortunate man has met his death are very mysterious, and may be brie fl y stated. On Saturday night the deceased went from his home, which is very near the pottery, to a public-house kept by Mrs. Simpson, at Swinton. When ha left home he asked his wife f or a shilling, which she gave him, and during the time be was at the public-house he drank two pints of ale. lie left the public-house between half-past nine and ten o'clock in the evening, and was not seen again by any of his friends until be was discovered (lying partly on the footpath with his head in a ditch) by a fellow workman named Gower. This man was going from I Swinton in the direction of the deceased's house when he found him in that condition ; he lifted up deceased and, finding him insensible, Gower called to two other men who were following him, and with their assist ance the deceased was taken to his own home, which is within a hundred yards of the place where he was found. On searching the spot a great quantity of blood was found where the deceased's head had lain, and a little way off his hat and a pitcher, in which he was carrying home - some ale from the public house, were found. Medical s.id was procured as soon as Barker was taken home, he being alive, but quite insensible and everything was done to save his life, but he died the following morning about five o'clock. An inquest was held at Mrs. Simpson's public house on Monday evening, when evidence of the above facts was given, in addition to which there was the testimony of the medical men who had made a post mortem examination, and who deposed that the deceased had received a severe fracture of the skull, a blow under the left eye, and one under the ear. The inquest was adjourned until Monday next. There are of course various rumours abroad in the neighbourhood of the place; but the only one which seems at all probable is that the deceased was knocked down by persons who intended to rob him of his wages. A halfpenny and a farthing were all the money found upon him, but his pockets did not appear to have been rifled. He was a mild in offensive man, very much respected by his fellow workmen, and esteemed by his employer. At present the whole affair is enveloped in mys tery, and every effort is being made to trace the murderers. Information has been sent to the Se cretary of State, in the hope that a reward will be offered. THE TRIPLE MURDER AT BRUSSELS, SEPT. 6 Notwithstanding the most minute investigation, nothing certain has yet been discovered relative to the perpctra • tors of this dreadful crime ; it is however hoped that they may soon be traced. On Saturday afternoon a woman carrying a basket accosted a peasant with an air of great embarrassment, and inquired of him the road to the gate of Namur. He was about to point out to her, when she commenced speaking in a hurried manner of the assassination, inquiring what was thought of it in the town, whether the murderers were found, &c. The bewildered look of the woman excited the suspicion of the peasant, who immediately informed an officer who was near. This person immediately joined the woman ; and entering into conversation:with her, led to the subject of the murder, and being also struck with her extreme embarrassment, gave her in charge of an agent of the police who was passing. She was taken to the police office, and in her basket was found a scrip of paper, on which was written, " Evenpoel...place Saint Gery... house inhabited by three women." The result of the investigation of this woman has not been made public, all we know is that the woman is still in custody. The two servants were interred, at two o'clock on Saturday, at the cemetry of Molenbeek, in a very quiet manner. The remains of Mademoiselle Evenpoel were taken to the cemetery of Lacken at four o'clock, attended by au immense crowd of persons. The hearse was followed by nineteen mourning coaches, containing the relatives and friends of the deceased lady. ALARMING ACCIDENT AT ROSHERVILLE GARDENS, GRAVESEND.—On Monday evening these gardens were the scene of an accident that was thought at the time would have been attended with fatal consequences. It appears that the night in question was the benefit of Signor Gellini, who, amongst other entertainments, pro• duced a pyrotechnical display called " The Fire Wor shippers,' in which a child is supposed to be offered up to the sun as is sacrifice. Just - a t that mo men t , weoff from some unknow cause, the whole of the firewo rk s y, and at once, setting fire to the trees,. scenery, enera', mac hinery, conta g ious influence. everything within the sphere o f The scene now was dreadful, the children cr)ing, women screaming, and the men endeavouring to force their way out of the ground s. The rush w as so great that many wou ld have made the ir exit, but found it impossible, some being literally c arried with the stream back again to the scene of conflcgration. It was thought, at On time, that the tower, from which Signor Gellini was to have descended to the ground, and which contained a large quantity of fireworks, &c., would have been blown u p, b u t through the exertions of the officials it was pre vented. The explosion was so great that it was heard at Chatham, a distance of eight miles, where it was thought it was occasioned by some ship firing signals of distress. SUICIDE.—An inhabitant of St. Maur, a few days back, when walking in the garden of the house where he lived, perceived near the well a basket and a woman's cap. Suspecting that all was not right, he gave the alarm, and the well hay ng been examined was found to contain the body of the wife of a workman residing in the house. They had, it appears, contrived to scrape together a sum of 3,000 f., which they laid out in rail way shares. That species of property having become exceedingly depreciated, the woman could not support the idea of the loss, and put an end to her existence by throwing herself into the well. SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday after noon an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, a t the Horn of Plenty public-ho use , Globe-road, Mile -end, on view of the body of a male child, found &Vented in the Regent's-canal, under the following very suspicious _ circumstances. It appeared from ther.evidence ofJaincis. Clark, lock-keeper of the Regent's canal, *that tit day morning he discovered the body of a child floating near the lock. The body was immediately. conveyed to the Mile-end workhouse. The child appeared to be about four weeks old, and w as in a state of nudity. The body was much decomposed, and there was a large bruise on the forehead. An open verdict of ." found dawned" 'nu lil4inate l y ;o=4 . NAVAL INTELL. CE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 8. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. E. Eden, being equipped for sea, went out of harbour to Spith ea d t hi s morning in gallant style, with royals set. This ship has been most expediti tiously manned by fine able-bodied men, of vvhom'she might have had numbers more could she have taken them, and this in the face of the burning climate she is destined to serve under, on the western coast of Africa. But men will go anywhere with a good captain and good officers, and certainly no ship ever left a British harbour better manned and officered than the Amphitrite. She was only commissioned on the 24th of July, and allowing for the idleness incidental to the attractions of Free Mart (15 days), and Portsdown Fairs, she has been fully equipped aloft, and admirably manned, nearly a month since. The Amphitrite is a reduced 42-gun frigate, of the French Leda class, and is of 1,064 tons. She car- ries an armament of 25 heavy fighting guns, thus On the upper deck one 10-inch shell (84-pounder) gun of 91 cwt., ;and six 32 pounders (long) of 39 cwt. each. On the main deck, ten 68 .pounders, of 65 cwt. each, and eight long 32's of 56 cwt. each. She car ries also two 12-pounder howitzers, and one 18- pounder ditto, for boat service. She has provisions under hatches for three months for 243 men, and six weeks' provisions for other ships, and could stow comfortably two months' more if necessary. She draws nineteen feet or nearly, aft, and sixteen feet seven quarters feet ele six inche s f orward ; and carries her maindeck midship All por sillh erand telegy-en store-rooms e n out r h e e o s ms a are ef mostthe water. am ple, and her officers and men's accommodations most healthy. She is altogether a most comfortable com mand, and is in a condition to do good service if re quired. Not one man has been punished since she was commissioned, whicn augurs well for her future discipline. She cast off from the buoy at about 10 this morning, and went out of harbour with a mode rate breeze from the northward and westward, salut ing the Commander-in-Chief with 17 guns in a very smart manner when off the King's Rooms. A gallant company, including Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Ex cellent, anti family ; Colonel Chads and family; Major Harvey, aide-de-camp to Sir Frederick Fitz clarenee, and party; Mr. Seagrim, Sheriff of the county of Hants, and family ; and a brilliant assemblage of ladies and officers, went out in her and partook of a sumptuous dejeuner provided by Captain Eden and his officers. • She will be inspected, and her crew mus tered by the Commander-in-Chief on Friday, paid advance wages on Saturday, and sail on Sunday, orla day or two after, to be tried in Sir Charles Napier's squadron. She takes out presents from the British Government to Prince William, King of the Bimbia ; the King of the Camaroons, and the King of the Bonny and new Calabar, to whose shores (the coast of Africa) she will proceei, after her trial cruise with her sister ship, the Trincomalee, under the orders of Sir Charles Napier. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, prior to leaving yesterday for London, left 201. to be distributed be tween the crew of Sir Charles Ogle's barge and the vessel which brought her over from Ryde. The Trincomalee, 26, Captain R. L. Warren, is nearly manned, and will leave the harbour in a day or two. The Amphion, 36, Captain Williams, came into harbour last evening, to have her machinery put in order. WOOLWICII, SEPT. B.—The Oberon steam-vessel, recently commissioned at Woolwich by Lieutenant Gardner, is order to proceed to Chatham, to be fitted for sea at that port. The Rattler steam-sloop, with screw propeller, Commander Richard Moorman, arrived at Woolwich on Monday, and is to be paid off here on Saturday. She is to be recommissioned immediately. The Monkey steam -vessel, Master Commander Brytmt, has been refitted, and, although one of the oldest steam-vessels in the navy, she is in excellent condition, and since she has been refitted has quite the appearance of a steam-yacht. She was taken out of the basin on Monday, and went down the river for Sheerness and Chatham with Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and and Lieut. Fowler, his Flag-Lieutenant, on board. The Sphynx steam-sloop, which was on shore some time ago on the Isle of Wight, is ordered to be brought down from Deptford to Woolwich, to he brought forward for commission. The month of October, 1847, is near at hand, the period named by Captain Sir John Franklin when intelligence might be expected relative to the officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror steam screw-pro peller vessels, employed in the Arctic expedition; and captains of vessels may now expect to meet with some of the hermetically sealed tin tubes, containing ac counts of the vessels written in six different languages, which were to he thrown overboard at certain periods, in the hope that some of them might he picked up by vessels navigating the North Seas. Captain Henry Mangles Denham, R.N., F.R.S., having been appointed by the Admiralty to in-nect and report upon the lighting and buo . ing of the Firth of Tay, has proceeded to Dundee tor that purpose. Mr. Lloyd, formerly chid' engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and now of the Comptroller's Department of Steam Aiachinery at Somerset Ilouse, and Mr. Hughes, formerly in charge.of the steam factory at Woolwich, and now in the Steam Machinery Depart ment at Somerset House, are the two gentleman ap pointed by Government to inspect and report on the late steam boiler explosion on board the Cricket. The followine appointments have been made to her Majesty's fleet, agreeably to the new regulations re cently issued relative to the engineers of the Royal Navy :=—Mr. Owen and Mr. Robertson, second class engineers and Mr. Lovering, Mr. Sumner, and Mr. Michael, third class engineers. The greatest activity prevails to initiate the officers and men of the Dockyard Battalion in a knowledge of their duties. The battalion has been formed into two divisions, and each division assembles on two nights in each week for drill and artillery and infantry exercise. The men appear remarkably pro ficient., and fire with great correctness both in the large guns and small arms firing. Three of the gun boats were exercised yesterday afternoon on the river for the first time, under the com mand of Mr. M'Cullum, the boatswain of the yard, and the firing and rowing of the boats, ten rowers being apportioned to each of them, were ex cellent. The boats were mounted, one with a 24- pounder carronade, and the others with 12-pounders. It is intended to have ten more boats, and when the whole strength of the battalions and boats are as sembled they will have a very imposing effect. The band of the battalion, consisting of twenty brass in struments, with a large and small drum, have been under the charge, during the last six weeks, of the old band master of the Royal Sappers and Miners, and have made such proficiency as to play each com pany from the parade ground to the main gate when the drills and exercises are over for the day. This is an excellent arrangement, and the men depart to their homes in the most quiet and orderly manner. The final dismissal of the seven persons formerly alluded to, the last three being Matthews, Wade, and Adlard, has been the means of restoring quietness, and will ensure that the men will conduct themselves with propriety in future, and when they feel aggrieved apply to the proper quarter for redress, which will always be most willingly afforded them after the statements of both sides are examined. The men, in order not to lose much time, partake of their dinners in the yard on the four days of the week of drill, two for each division, and it is expected they will next week march to the butt in the Royal Arsenal for ball pr at a target.

It appears that in the gale she snapped the cable of one anchor, and the other anchor ;would not hold, when, a'ter cutting away her mast, she drove on the beach broadside on, from which, although filled with water, she was got off after three days incessant exertion. THE GAMBLING-ROUSES AT BADEN-BADRN.-- The Köln Zeitung, in an article strongly condemnatory of the gambling houses which noeturnall) ruin the gulls of the German watering places, observes that " however stale the subject, it is peremptorily necessary to return to it until those plundering establishments, where the murals and money of the citizens are lost, are entirely extinguished throughout Germany.
