HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet- Street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be. found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has Axed his charges at the low est scale possible.

'this excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the Stoma( h and Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels; Indigestion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in thia most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will eonvlaee the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy' action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

BRISTOL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The half-yearly ge neral meeting of proprietors in this undertaliktg was held thi3 day at the White Lion Hotel. Pro,td, r ,strae,C.There was a very numerous attendance of proprietors. wrhe chair' vras taken by John Browne, Esq., deputy chairman of the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN said, in laying before the proprietors the half-yearly report of their proceedings, the directors referred them with great pleasure to the statement of rent and toll of the line as returned by dire Great Western Company. That statement afforded gratifying evidence of the increased and increasing prosperity of the undertaking, and gave to them a well-founded hope that their traffic would be such as, after the termination of their lease to the Great Western Company, to give them a very handsome dividend upon their shares. Since the last general meeting of the company the directors had given their best and most anxious attention to the carrying out of the new measures which the proprietors had sanctioned with their approval. The branches from Bleadon to Wells, Street, and Glastonbury, and from Castle Cary to Taunton, had passed the Committee unopposed ; and from the great extent of accommodation which they would af ford to the public, the board did not anticipate that there would be any difficulty in obtaining for them Parliamentary sanc tion. Westward of Exeter the branch from Launceston to Liskeard had passes the Standing Orders Committee, but the Bill for the branch from Crediton to Launceston had been thrown out upon the standing orders on account of the insufficiency of the engineering plans. The directors felt it but just to their engineer, Mr. Gregory, with whose zeal, ability, and attention they had abundant reason to be satis fied, to state that they exonerated him from all blame in the matter. llis appointment was so late that there had not been sufficient time to prepare the plans properly, and when be undertook to do his best, he told the directors that he could not hold himself responsible for their completion. It was also due to Mr. Brunel to state that, as tar as was con sistent with his duty to the Great Western Company, he had given the most courteous and ready assistance. The branches to Tiverton and to Clevedon would, it was hoped, soon be opened for traffic. Upon the Yeovil branch the works had been purposely delayed in order to enable the board to well consider the point at which the junction should be fixed. The directors had under their consideration, and at the pro per time would provide for the plant which would be re quired after the termination of the lease to work the line.— (Cheers.) The board exceedingly regretted the resignation of their worthy chairman, alr. Gibbs, but at t he same time they considered it a most fortunate thing for the interests of the company that they had been able to prevail upon so in fluential a gentleman as Mr. J. W. Buller, of Downes, to take a seat at the board as his successor. The SECRETARY, Mr. J. B. RAdham, then read the report of the directors, which was in substance the same as the speech of the chairman, and also recommended a dividend of 4 per cent. on the paid-up capital, which would leave a surplus of 2,055/. 15s. sd. In reply to questions by Mr. Hare, The CHAIRMAN said the directors had no doubt they would be able to obtain from the Great Western Com pany an early statement of what proportion of plant they would expect the Bristol and Exeter Company to take to at the close of the lease. He believed that the ar rangement would be concluded in a friendly spirit between the companies ; fir, whether the Bristol and Exeter line was worked as an independent line or otherwise, it would be for the mutual interests of both companies that they should continue on terms of perfect amity.--(Cheers.) What the directors had in view was to ascertain from the Great Western board what plant they wished to hand over when the lease terminated, on the Ist May, 1849. In reply to another question, The CHAIRMAN said, the directors would be quite able in two years to supply themselves with plant, even should the Great Western Company wish to band over nothing. The SICCRETARY—There are parties ready t o undertake to supply it.—(Hear, hear:) - , ses. A PROPRIETOR asked, if the statement in reference to the Bristol and Exeter line in Nash's Railway Statistics was true? The CHAIRMAN understood that it was made up from the return of the Great Western Company, and that it was quite correct. The PROPRIBTOR—It is very encouraging, then. Mr. 11. 1.11117ra/4 then expressed his gratification that the line was now admitted to be- as good as he had anticipated when he, as the organ of the committee of shareholders, last addressed the proprietary. He also expressed his satisfac tion that the resignation of Mr. Brunel a nd of their chair man had got rid of a great deal of the 'Great Western in terest, which had too long influenced their proceedings. Their property had suffered from their having had a divided board ; and he hoped that now there would be no more division, but that their anirs would go on satis factorily. The CHAIRMAN, in repl y , take than to suppose that he at b d oa t i l •Cl er s e va w s a i s ntl n u o e g n r ce a d tebr yt sy fear of or desire to submit improperly to Great Western in- fluence. Mr. C. BERNARD said he had saen with regr et a line to Exeter put forward by the Great Western Company which did not pass over their line. Did the directors intend to op pose the Great Western Company? The CHAIRMAN said there was no such intention by the board. The Great Western Company would be stronglY their posed posed by the South-Western, and it was thought that thei interference would be useless Mr. BERNARD thought that a few thousand pounds would be well laid out in an opposition.—k No.) Mr. SECOMB was glad to hear that the directors did not intend squandering money in opposition.

Mr. Weber, captain of the Rose, was examined, and detailed the circumstances under which the collision occurred, so far as he knew them, and said that his schooner was anchored on the north side of the Thames at the time. The night was quite clear. He had no lights fixed to the schooner's mast or bow. The steamer struck her on the larboard bow, and she went down on her boadside. The ste amer had her engines reversed, and she went astern before the Rose sunk. Was part-owner of the vessel. She had been valued at 8001. or 9001. She was 18 years old. Captain Meiklereid, the master of the Royal Vic toria, stated that he left St. Kath he erine's Wharf on Saturda night, at twelve o'clock. T pilot left her at the usual place, Gravesend. He then took the control of the steamer, and on arriving off the creek at Hole Haven, about half a mile from the shore, the accident occurred. On nearing Hole Haven he noticed three vessels ahead, one under canvass, and the other two at anchor. He wanted to go to the north ward, between the two at anchor, as he could not get to the southward, the sailing vessel being close on to him. He was on the bridge, and the carpenter was with him. The second mate, Johnson, was at the helm. It was the carpenter's duty to be on the look out, and Dickson was on the bow. The night was clear, and he saw the vessels half a mil e o ff . He would have gone to the southward of the vessels if there had been room. He desired the helm to " port, port—hard a-port." The helm, in consequence of the ebb tide, did not steer well, and he directed the engineer to stop the engines and reverse them, so as to go astern. It was too late, how ever, to prevent the collision ; the steamer struck the schooner, and in four or five minutes she went down. Some Portion of her went under the steamer. He instantly di rected a boat to be lowered to save the crew, but it picked up none. The steamer was brought to an anchor, and for two hours remained by the spot where the Rose went down. It then continued its course to Leith. The captain of the schooner was brought on board the steamer. None of the passengers were alarmed by the accident excepting those on deck. One of the Royal Victoria's anchors was torn away. TAILORS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.--The tenth anniversary of this excellent charity was celebrated last evening by a public dinner at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. About 300 members attended. After dinner the noble chairman pro posed the toast, '° Success to the Institution." The secre tary then read the report and list of the subscriptions, from which it appeared that the receipts exceeded the expenditure by 1,370/., and the subscriptions of the evening amounted to nearly 9001. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the rueotin broke up at a late hour, MARCH 6, 1847. PRICE SD. City—W. Rich and 11. Jones, pewterers, Upper Ebury-street, Pimlico. SCOTCH SEQUESTRATIONS. R.

WESTMINSTER RAILWAY STREET.—In this scheme it is proposed to form an open cutting, with four lines of wooden rails, and a double set of rails to each line, one of the broad and the other of the narrow gauge, the whole to be worked on the atmospheric principle, and the banks to be planted with trees, and bridges to be built at the intersections of the roals. By these means an almost noiseless railway would be obtained ; and it would not present an eye-sore, as most lines at present do.—The Builder.

Several of the heats were well contested, and caused much excitement. The prize was carried otf by Mr. Edward Burton, student of Christ Church, who, in the deciding heat, beat Mr. Heygate, of Merton, easily. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.—OXFORD, MARCH 5. —This afternoon Mr. John Rice Byrne, commoner of Univer sity College, and Mr. Bull, from Rugby School, were erected scholars of University College. There were upwards of 20 candidates. Yesterday the Rev. Richard Joynes, M.A., senior scholar of Corpus Christi College, was elected a Fellow of that society, in the room of the Rev. R. G. Macmullen, who has turned Romanist. DREADFUL DEATH OF DR. ADAM BLACK, M.D. .--Mr. held an inquest yesterday, at the Swan,,Pic- cadflly, on t Adam Black, - f-11,Dotgesti _ No. 114, Piccadilly. The deceased was on Movday last attacked with cholera, and was confined to his room that and the next day. Tuesday afternoon his bell rung, and the servant, on running up stairs, found him in the drawing room, with his clothes almost all burnt away, and laying scattered, still alight, about the room. He was then writh ing with agony, and no time was lost in sending for Mr. Fuller, his friend and medical attendant. He told Mr. Fuller that while standing with his back to the fire he was seized with a sudden giddiness, and fell back against the grate, where he lay for some moments unable to move. lie was dreadfully burnt all over the back, hips, and right arm, and died from the injuries on the following day. Verdict, "Accidental death." NEW MODEL CONVICT PRISONS FOR IRELAND.— Government have, it is stated upon good authority, given orders to build a new model prison, near Dublin, for the re ception of Irish convicts. It is to be constructed on the plan of the new Pentonville prison, and is to have 500 cells for the reception of prisoners. The first stage of imprisonment, viz., eighteen months, is to be carried out • there. After this period has elapsed they will be shipped off for Gibraltar, Bermuda, Jersey, &c., to complete the sentence. The plan is considered a great improvement, and will be attended with a great lessening of expense. SINGULAR DEATH OF A SToKEn.—Yesterday, Mr. G. J. Mills held an inquest at the University College Hos pital, Gower-street, on the body of E. Morris, aged sixty, a stoker in the employ of the Imperial Gas Company, whose factory is situated near Battle-bridge. Early on Sunday morning last, deceased was found lying prostrate before a furnace to which he had been attending. His condition at first was attributed to intoxication, but on Mr. Fogarty, a neighbouring surgeon being consulted, he considered de ceased labouring under some cerebral affection, and advised his removal to that hospital, in which he died on Tuesday last. The house-surgeon, who had made a post mortem ex a►nination, found slight fractures of the skull and congestion of the brain, the exact cause of which he could not tell, but most probably it was a fall produced by accident or a fit. Death resulted from the state of the brain, but how caused there was not evidence to show." BREAD FROM MANGOLDWURTZEL.—A corre spondent informs us that a nutritious and palatable bread may be procured from this root by the following process.— ' I boiled 71b., mashed it to a pulp, put to it 71b. of flour, mixed them, put half a tea cup of yeast, left it to rise half an hour; made the aforesaid into five loaves, which when baked weighed 151 b. Unfortunately it was not sufficiently baked, so was heavy, but very sweet and wholesome to eat indeed. We intend baking it better next week. This was done as an experiment, to try what we could do in the event of a famine or dearth next year in this country. I copied it from an Irish paper. It ought to be more generally known. There is no perceptible taste; if you were not told you could not tell there was anything but good wheaten flour, and yet here is something that will double the quantity of corn and flour in the kingdom." REPRESENTATION OF CANTERBURY.—Mr. Twisden Hodges. it is understood, will come forward as candidate for the representation of Canterbury; and it is stated that he will have the entire support of the Peel Conservative and Liberal party. A candidate on Protective principles is also spoken of, but a contest at the present time, a dissolution being so near at hand, is not at all likely. BURNING OF A MOTHER AND CHILD.—An inquest was held last night, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Charles 'William Hoare, aged seven months. Ellen Keel, of 6, Collingwqpd-street, Shoreditch, said that the de ceased resided with its parents at No. 7, in the same street. • The mother .was.afticted with fits, and on Wednesday, about half-put twelve, supposing that the mother was In a tit, - she went in and saw the child lying upon the floor with its clothes burning. She put them out, and was taking it out of the room when she saw the mother standing on the bed with the whole of her clothes in flames. With assistance they were extinguished, and both mother and child were brought to the hospital. The deceased was so much burnt that he died shortly after his admission, and the mother re mains without any hope of recovery from the severity of the burns. It further appeared that the accident was caused by the mother having fallen, when in a fit, into the tire. Ver dict, " Accidental death."

VICTORY OVER DEATH.—In the Secondaries Court yesterday, a plaintiff, named Deadman, brought an action against the defendant, Death, to recover the sum of 200/. and interest on a mortgage, and Deadman came off victo rious, having beaten Death completely out of Court. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE STAR LIGHT STEAM-BOAT.—Yesterday an accident of a most de plorable character took place on board the Starlight iron steam boat. A person named James Hunt, about fifty years of age, and a companion of his, were travelling by the boat from Vauxhall to London-bridge. The two had been for some time conversing in the cabin, and when the boat had arrived about midway between Westminster and Hunger- I ford-bridges, they went on deck, where they for some few minutes were amusing themselves. Hunt's companion ex pressed a wish to retire into the cabin again, but the de ceased refused, when his friend, whilst standing on the top of the stairs, laid hold of Hunt's hand for the purpose of pulling him down. He, however, resisted, and the other having let go his hold rather suddenly, Hunt fell backwards and pitched headforemost down the hold into the engine-house amongst the machinery. When he fell his bones were heard to crack as the levers of the engine caught his limbs. The engineer stopped the engine so suddenly as to throw the whole of the machinery out of gear, and as soon as possible the poor fellow was got out, blood streaming from all por tions of his body. His arm and legs were broken, his ribs forced in, and a great piece of his side was laid bare. He was immediately taken to Charing-cross Hospital, but before he had reached that institution he had ceased to breathe. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—The whole of the four com panies at present in the field battery at Woolwich are ex pected to leave the garrison in the course of this month, not to relieve other companies, but to add to the strength of the companies at home stations, or man the new fortifica tions recently constructed for the defence of the coast. Major Cator's field battery company 2d battalion, will pro ceed to Liverpool, the first company sent to be stationed at that place. Major Furneaux's field battery company, 2d battalion will proceed to Dover, an additional company of Royal Artillery being considered necessary at that statio n. Major Clarke's field battery, 9th battalion, will procee d to Guernsey, where one company will be stationed in futurel and those at present in Guernsey will join their company in Jersey, 'which island will have one full company instead of the half company at present doing duty there. Captain Hill's field battery company, Bth battalion, will proceed to Sheerness, being the first company detached to man th e for tifications at that naval port. The first four companies of the newly-raised 10th battalion are to occupy the places of the companies in the field batteriest on their le av i n g \Wool wich to acquire a knowl e d ge of field battery duty.

The vessel was not finally extricated from her stranded position until ten o'clock yesterday morning. The following is a description of the means which have proved successful in saving this fine vessel :—The plan de vised for this object was by means of " camels"—the project of Comniander Caffin, of the Scourge steam-sloop, and Mr. Watts, the senior assistant-master shipwright of this dock yard—the buoyant power of which amounted to above 130 tons, brought under a strong frame-work constructed under her paddle-boxes; to this was added by Mr. Watts, subse quently to Commander Caffin's leaving, another camel, which was brought under the head of the vessel, on which, at the extreme foremost end was erected a high framework for supporting the chain cables, hawsers, &c., used in heaving the vessel off; and to obviate or counteract this downward ' pressure, at the end of the camel, next the stem, was fixed a fork formed by means of two stout pieces of fir timber placed a little more than the breadth of the stein ' asunder, and bolted firmly to the deck of the camel. This fork came un derneath two stout cleats fastened to the stein of the vessel, so that the downward pressure of the cables when hove upon constituted a power, at one end, of a lever to lift the bow of the ship at the other end. This was found to render most important aid in getting the vessel over the bank or reef of rocks. up to which she had been brought on the two former occasions, but could not then be got over. This ledge has not more than six feet of water on it at high tide, whereas the Sphynx When lightened of everthing except her engines, drew 10 fact of water. The feat. therefore, of getting her over the reef is one of the most retrial kuble incidents ever re coiled in naval science. The vessel appears very sound, and came into harbour with flags flying and the bands of the St. Vincent and Vic tory playing " Rule Britannia" as she passed up to the jetty. She does not appear much damaged, but her defects cannot be easily ascertained until she is docked, which will be done, if possible, to-morrow. The camels and raft of casks were attached to her sides and bottom when she came in. Vast numbers of officers have been into the dockyard to-day to witness this signal triumph of industry and perseverance over circumstances the most unpromising. It is gratifying to add that everything connected with this event was conducted so skilfully that no accident occurred. It is anticipated the vessel will not entail any considerable expenditure in her refit for service. The Emerald tender sailed to-day for Plymouth with supernumeranes. The new Admiralty " Instructions for Dockyards" em bodied in Mr. Ward's (the Secretary to the Admiralty) ex planation to the House of Commons, on Friday night last, in the debate on the navy estimates, were read in this dock yard by the Rear-Admiral Superintendent to the heads of the various departments embraced in the regulations, and appeared to give general satisfaction. MARCH s.—The Charon steam-vessel, which arrived from Wo,,lwich for the duties of this port, instead of the Fearless, proceeded yesterday, with the of:neutron:l. the . Pay-office, to Sheerness, and paid off the Dolphin three-gun brigantine, Lieutenant Miller, and returned to Chatham the same day. The marines from the Dolphin, seven in number, were put on board the Ocean, to be transferred to their division at Portsmouth. The Aid, Smal!man master, sailed on the 3d inst., with stores for Plymouth. The Goodwill, Pledge master, sailed on the 4th inst., with stores for Sheerness. Remains—the Rochester, Sedgwick master, loading for Deptford and Woolwich. Private James Seath, of the 37th company of the Royal Marines of this division, was tried by a general court martial on Monday, the Ist inst., for having, before being relieved, left his post when sentry over the commandant's door at the Royal Marine barracks, Chatham, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock on or about the night of the 6th of February, 1847,:and remaining absent until the morn ing of the 13tli of the same month. The finding of sentence of the Court has been approved by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the prisoner sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour at the District Mili tary Prison, Fort Clarence, to which place the prisoner was removed yesterday. A codeof new regulations has been sent to each of the royal dockyards, to take effect on the Ist of April, respecting the future selections of officers and men for the service. The pay of inspectors is to be raised from 1001. to 1251. per annum, and from April, 1t348, one-fourth of the inspectors are to act as measurers, and allowed a sa l ary o f 1501. per annum. A new . officer is to be appointed, to be termed " Survey - or2f. Timber." at a salary of 4001. per annum; and promotionia future is to depend principally on the scholastic attainments of the candidate. These new regulations are drawn up professedly to do away with political intrigue, which has been carried on by political committees to the prejudice of the service. SAVINGS' BANKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—From an observation recently made by Mr. Baron Alderson, relative to deposits in savings' banks (and which first appeared in a public print through the Savings' Bank Circ.:car), a good deal of misunderstanding prevails. The Baron has, by many, been understood to say that if a savings' bank depositor neglected to withdraw any part of his deposit for more than six years, he would be debarred by the Statute of Limitations from recovering what might be then invested. Since what the Baron let drop upon the sub ject it has been contended that, as interest is added yearly to a depositor's account in the bank ledger, that is a regular renewal of the whole account. On the other hand, it is argued that, adding interest annually is not a payment, and, therefore, no renewal of the account. Now, Sir, as every body knows there is the glorious uncer tainty of the law, the most prudent and safe plan will be for a depositor (either in person, or by the requisite written dele gation,) to withdraw something within six years, if even a shilling, and thereby set all doubting on this head at rest.— Your obedient servant, March 3, 1847.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess A'ice, took their accustomed walks and rides yesterday in the vicinity of Osborne House.

Alcide Tousez made his first appearance before an English audience last evening, and M. Alcide Tousez will become, no doubt, a great favourite with the English public. He is by far the most humorous French! actor we have ever seen. There is a breadth and an unctionsness about him that is quite Listo nian. The piece chosen for his debut was Le Roi des Frontins in which he sustains the part of Thomas. Frontin, be it remembered, is the generic name ef the intriguing valet ef the French vaudeville, and the Frontin of the piece (M. Dumery) tired of serving a young, dashing, intriguing, but poor French nobleman, seeks for a successor, and finds one in Thomas, an itinerant vendor of poultry a country gawky. He drills him into the hat exercise and waiting exercise, &c., of a valet (this drill scene is exceedingly rich), and giving him a written cha racter, leaves him as his successor, His master's disgusted with his gaucherie, but relying on the written testimonial of his abilities, em. ploys him in all sorts of Intrigues. His stupidity favours him, and as luck will have it, Thomas, more to his owie surprise than to that of any body else, succeeds d merveille in everything lie undertakes ; his stupidity Is put down to the ac count of calculation and intrigue, and he, the stupid country dolt, is at length acknowledged to be Le Roi des Frontins, the prince of clever intriguers, merely by acting on the theory of laissez faire. The acting of Tousez was rich in the extreme. Nature has bountifully bestowed on him a face and figure such as have not been seen since the days ef Liston. hi. Alcide Tousez has im proved these natural advantages to the highest pitch of perfec tion. The house was in a roar from the moment of his appearanca to the falling of the curtain; and to all hypochondriacs we should recommend as an infallible cure an evening with M. Alcide Tousea at the St. James's Theatre. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The fourth soiree of the season was held at this establishment last evening, and was attended by a very large and fashionable assemblage. Among the musical professors who assisted at the concert of the evening were, Mr. Muhlenfeldt, Mr. Cooke, and Mr. Hancock, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, Mr. Frederick Chatterton, Signor Piatti, the Misses Williams, Mr. and Miss Ransford, Miss Sabilla T ovello, Miss Mordan, Miss A. Romer, Miss Steele, Mr. Bennet, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Machin. In the course of the soiree, Signor Jannetti, from Rome, gave an eloquent recitation in Italian from Dante, and Mr. Buckingham wound up the proceeding of the evening by an animated description of the rains of the great temple of Persepolis, destroyed by Alexander of Macedon on his return from his Indian conquests. The company did not separate till a late hour. THE POTATO DISEASE.—At the meeting of the Botanical Society, held last evening, at the Society's Rooms, 20, Bedford -street, Strand; J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S., Pre sident, in the chair. Mr. Monro communicated a paper "On the Potato Disease." The author was of opinion that the disease originated in our neglecting to secure thoroughly ripened tubers from which to produce our future crops, and he thought that the most probable means of restoring the plant to its pristine vitality, would be to commence with the practice of a mode of cultivation more consistent with its nature and habit, than that which has been followed for a series of years. At the latter end of November last, the author commenced raising a portion of his crop, and found that, among potatoes grown from sets taken from tubers which had undergone what he called the sedative process for two years successively, only about half a dozen in a bushel were affected. A crop raised from sets, which were left in the ground last winter, taken up and replanted early in April last, exhibited tainted tubers to the amount of one in fifteen ; while another crop, raised from tubers, which ware taken up early in November, 1845, and secured in a pit, after the usual manner, until the planting season of 1846, showed the taint in a moat inveterate form, fully two thirds of the entire crop being diseased.

Felton, the sheriff's officer, after being in search of a Miss Crossingham, of Ongar, during the last four months, last Thursday suc ceeded by stratagem in arresting her at her own house. - Ile then left her in charge of his assistant while he went for a chaise, but Miss Crossingham having obtained permission of the officer to go to her bed-room, immediately jumped out of the window, and alighted upon the roof of an out-house. thence descended upon a water-butt in the adjoining yard, and made her escape. A pursuit was immediately com menced across the fields, but without recapturing the fugi tive.--Essex Standard. Mn.
