Miles, Esq., 3f.P. The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Eamoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by moans of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head o r brush are supplied at intervals with, universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in eontinuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq , 39, Jennyn-street, St. James's ; at Messrs.

Several persons have ascended with me. The weather has been very unsettled and strong, and I have only had three fine days out of nine. The last, how ever (Sunday, August 22), was the worst of all—the wind blew almost a hurricane from the southwest, ac companied by heavy thunder and lightning, nearly the whole of the day; indeed, it was generally believed the ascent would be postponed, but being anxious to keep up my reputation, I commenced the inflation. The ascent, which took place at a quarter to five, excited great alarm-and astonishment, because just after a vio lent peal of thunder the balloon rose almost immediately under the clouds from which the storm proceeded, when, at about four thousand five hundred feet high, and on a level with them, several electrical discharges occurred, which afforded me the long wished for opportunity of observing the effect of lightning upon the air, as the clouds and the balloon were going abreast of each other at only a few hundred yards distant. The air was very much disturbed, it seemed full of eddies, which agitated the balloon a good deal, Every fresh discharge commu nicated a vibrating motion to the balloon, arid caused it to oscillate considerably, while the rain falling on the earth made a noise like a waterfall at a great distance. In descending we fell in with a current blowing a few points more to the north, which bore us away from the storm, and after being up for about an hour I descended at Windeeken." Two CHILDREN FOUND MURDERED.—Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, the police-constable on duty on Walworth-common, discovered a wicker basket hid den in a ditch on the common, and on opening it found the body of a female infant, about fourteen days old, wrapped in a blue cotton handkerchief, death braving been caused by a bandage tied over the mouth. It was taken to Newington workhouse to await the coroner's inquest. About the same hour yesterday morni ng some boys bathing in the Regent s-canal at Mile-end, found the body of a male infant, about three weeks old, that had been strangled with a piece of cord and then thr own into the water. It is now in Mile-end workhouse, awaiting a coroner's inquest. THE WEST INDIAN MAIL. The Great Western ROyal Mail Company's steam ship Great Western, George Abbott commander, arrived at Southampton yesterday morning at nine o'clock, after a remarkably fine passage, arriving at least two days earlier than she was expected, thus placing this recent addition to the Company's fleet on a par with their fastest vessels. The mails came in charge of Mr. Elison, in con sequence of the illness of Lieutenant Miller, Ad miralty agent, who was invalided at Havannah, and left in the hospital. The Great Western brings forty-nine passengers : —Mr. Conti, from Vera Cruz; Messrs. Gogel, Mo rales, Luncheon, Noltinius, and Anglada, from Havannah ; Mr. Salazar, from St. Juan de Nica ragua; Messrs. Jean, Letts, Treblecock, and Waters, from Chagres i • Miss Martin, from Carthagena; Mr. Singleton, Mr. Taylor, two children and servant, Messrs. Wright, Lindop,. de Cordova, and Roxburgh, from Jamaica; Mr. Brown, from Jacmel ; Mr. Bilen• brugh, from Porto Cabello ; Mr. Albony and servant, Messrs. Bennett and Jones, from Demerara; Messrs. Turnbull, M‘Gregor, and Spiers, from Trinidad ; Mr. Jackson, from Grenada ;. Mr. M4Kenzie, from St. Vincent; Mr. Bow, from Guadeloupe; Messrs. Jefferson and Sheil, from Montserrat ; Mr. Berkley and two children, from St. Kites; Messrs. Vesonnars, Heap, and Hestres, from St. Thomas ' Mr. Johnston and Miss and Master Agassey, from Bermuda ; Mr. H. J. Whalley and two invalids one distressed British subject. And on freight- 7 208,391 dollars on merchants' account, but none for dividends; 1.9811. in gold, 591 ounces of gold dust, 26 silver. bars, 65 hales of tobacco, 114 cases of cigars, 10 serous of cochineal, 22 bales of sarsaparilla, 8 serons of jalap, 62 turtle, 17 packages of arrowroot, 27 cases of pines, 70 packages of sundries. Her dates are—Tampico July 26, Vera Cruz August 2d, Havannah 11th, Honduras July 20th, Carthagena 29th, Jamaica August Bth, Demerara 4th, Trinidad sth, Barbadoes Bth, Grenada 9th, St. Thomas 15th, Bermuda 20th, La Guayra 2d. The Great Western left her Majesty's ship Persian at Vera Cruz, together with 2 French, 5 American, and 1 Spanish men-of-war. The company's ship Clyde was at Bermuda, Con way at St. Thomas's, Thames at Jamaica, and Teviot in the Gulf of Mexico. The Great Western reports the weather in the va rious islands as being fine, and the crops good ; but our files of papers no not support so favourable a view of these matters. We have accounts from Vera Cruz to the 2d of August. The Courier of Legation who had alone been allowed to pass the belligerent lines, had arrived on the 31st of July. His accounts from the city of Mexico were far from satisfactory. He describes General Scott's for& at Puebla to be 15,000 men, waiting for some reinforcements previous to advancing on Mexico • on their arrival he would immediately march. There was a strong party in Mexico for an arrangement with General Scott, and about 20,000 Mexicans prepared to o ppose his entering the city ; but, from the disunion amongst the leading men, it was expected that the Americans would meet with no serious opposition. The mortality at Vera Cruz, both in the hospitals and among the newly arrived Ameri cans, continued. There was no chance of introducing goods into the interior, and trade in consequence was at an end. The chances of peace were considered slight; the several departments of the Republic had declared against negotiation, and even when the American General is in the city, he will be in a most embarrassed position. The conversion of the Mexican debt is said to have been ratified by the Mexican Government, but nothing is likely to be done in the way of dividends whilst the Americans are in the country. M. C. Perry, commanding home squadron, had issued a public notice, dated from his flag-ship the Mississipi, July 28, that the war tax of ten per cent. hitherto imposed on all our exports from the ports in the Gulf of Mexico, was to be discontinued. By the arrival of the Great Western, we have our usual files of papers. From Jamaica we have com plaints of the weather and want of shipping in the following terms : " The drought in St. Mary continues most destruc tive. The rivers throughout the parish are nearly all dry, there being in some places not water enough to supply the steam-engines or the still houses. One estate in the lower part of the parish has for some time past been compelled to carry water in puncheons for the supply of the engine, but even this resort has at last been given up, and on that, as well as on other estates, sugar-making - is entirely suspended, although there is 1! large field of canes yet to be taken off. Meanwhile, the plants for next year's crop are almost burnt out of the ground. We have heard of some pieces of spring plants which have been sup' lied as often as four times to no purpose. There is an immense quantity of manufactured produce remaining over for want of shipping . From the Cornwall Chronicle we learn, that— "The weather in Montego Bay had been very sultry during the last ten or twelve days. Rain clouds had passed over, but they carried their contents with them to the ocean." The following is an extract of a letter from Lucea, dated July 20, given in the Courier : " On Wednesday last one of the most frightful and terrible whirlwinds that I believe has ever been wit nessed in this island assailed the town and port of Lucea. The wind blew from all quarters, as if converging to a focus, at the same time. The rain, mixed with hail stones, fell in torrents. The sea rose in a moment, groaned, and then retired several feet. It seemed as if an opening in its bed had occurred, and that it sank into the -bosom of the globe. The lightning flashed, and then an earthquake followed, which lasted several seconds." At Antigua, by our accounts, the state of the wea ther was a subject of complaint with the planters. The want of rain was severely felt, and planting operations seriously retarded thereby. We notice that there have been several arrivals of immigrants from Madeira within a short period. These people, as labourers, give satisfaction ; but the Antigua folks are beginning to find fault with their keeping so many " saints' days." From Dominica we learn that the Lieutenant- Governor had left for England. Mr. James Lang Bremner assumed the Government, being (says a local paper) the first coloured person of Dominica who had gained the distinction of representing Majesty. We have more favourable accounts from Barba does, which had latterly suffered so severely from want of food. Large supplies of provisions of all kinds had arrived both from America and the adjoining colonies. Nearly 3,000 bunches of plantains, besides other esculents, reached Barbadoes in a single day from Demerara alone ; prices, however, were still high, and much distress prevailed. The Governor had entirely recovered from the effects of his accident. His Ex cellency was establishing public libraries in the islands under his charge for the use of all classes, and had reco mmended the passing of an A ct for apprenticing to the sea all 'he idle boys, as one of the modes of re lieving the islands. At Dominica the second reading of a Bill was car ried on a division by two majority to provide stipends for the support of senior and other Roman Catholic clergymen. REVIEW OF THE MARKETS. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intedigencer.) If we except the decline in the prices of some articles. which will be fi,und particularized below, no c h ange of ' o l dt any moment h a s occurred in the state of the market oumstanc ~ s ince our last report. The eir s at whichthe e were a at e a w r , t ariff, o t s nothing of that h o further H o m has o. that period exercising a depressing influence on our trade continue to op erate against it to the same ex t en t. o rff beeWnihthea;desrpeTattivt: t t o he th i e mew t ov verqment. We may m ention, has been ordered to be enforced until the matter shall be finally arranged. Flour—A further decline has occurred in the price of this article since our last issue, holders having been forced to yield to existing c i rc umstances. The transac- tions have extended to sales of 600 barrels new Balti more at•36s., 1,200 barrels New Orleans (in two parcels of 300 and 9 00 barr els each) at 325., and 600 barrels New Orleans (also in small lots) at 345.t0 365. per barrel. In addition to thes e sales, a large parcel of Philadelphia, not all superfine, was moved at 365. and 355.; and some smaller lots, of old importations, previous to the sale of the new Baltimore at 365., at the last-named figure. Prices have since become merely nominal, the demand having now again slackened. Meal has also receded, 235. having been submitted to for some small parcels. A lot of 200 barrels, rather coarse, has been disposed of at 225. 6d. cash. The stock continues very heavy, and the demand light. Rice—We have not o heard of Indie s tranactions and C in this article. The supply f both Ea st arolina sorts is light. Bread—Watson's crackers and pilot bread are taken at 245.; the former are wanted, but there is a fair sup ply of the latter. A sma ll sale of navy, of the same br and , has been made at 21s. per barrel, which is considered to be a full rate. Butter—The supply of this article is exceedingly light, the market being bare of Irish, and but ill-supplied with other sorts. The demand, however, is only mode rate, the consumption being in a great degree restricted by the high rates asked. The last parcel of Irish was moved at 15d.; 120 kegs of Nova Scotia were taken at 12d., as were also 50 kegs of United States at the same figure, and a larger parcel of 130 kegs of the l a tt er de scription at a decline of id. per lb. Lard is in good demand, but the stock is very small. A lot- of 600 kegs and upwards of good quality Phila delphia has been disposed of at 8d per lb. Codfish—Just as we were going to press with our last a vessel came in from Halifax, and a small part of her cargo_ was parcelled cut at 175., in casks. A day or two after, two others arrived, one of which was said to have been of the new catch. The sales of both of these latter cargoes were opened, and small lots disposed of at 17s. for ordinary, and 18s. for large, in casks, and 20s. for boxes, whe❑ a vessel arrived from Newfound land with a cargo of some 340 small casks. This last arrival had some effect on the market, and the balance of the first-named cargo was parted with at 16s. in casks, and 18s. for boxes. The Newfoundland fish was then disposed of at 14s. and 17s. for casks and boxes respect ively, while the remainder of the two cargoes which had been opened previously continued to be placed in lots at 16s. for ordinary, and 16s. to 16s. 6d. for large in casks, and 18s. to 19s. in boxes. Subsequently a very small cargo of the new catch, from Ragged Island, came in, for the half of which 16s. for casks, and 19s. for boxes were accepted; but the other half is still unsold, in con sequence of its being put up in packages of an unsuit able size. Mackerel—The receipts of this article since our last issue have reached 1,200 barrels. The price of previous importations has consequently fallen, and we arc told that 233. per barrel cannot now be obtained for any large quantity. From the Ist of May to this period the ar rivals have equalled half of the previous years' impor tations. Alewives are scarce, and command 245. per barrel. Herrings—No. 1, .with roes, are saleable at 245., but there is very little demand for split even at 20s. to 225. The stock is light. _ _ Salmon—NO'. 1 and 2 in barrels are wanted. Soap—The only wholesale transaction which has reached us is that of a sale of 1,000 boxes of Steele's 481 b. feather, at 12s. 6d. per box. Pork—Prime remains at our last quotation (785.), at which rate 300 barrels have changed hands. The con sumption appears to be much affected by the high price of the article. Mess is scarce. Beef—American has declined considerably, 525. per half barrel being now submitted to for small parcels. The stock is ample. Tongues-100 half barrels American pigs have changed hands at 40s. per half barrel. Hams—Lancashire may be quoted at 9d. to 10d., Irish at 9d., and American at Bd. to 9d. per lb. The supply, for this period of the year, is ample. Cheese is scarce. Corn—The arrivals of South American continue to some extent. This description does not command more than 4s. per bushel. Oil has suffered a still further decline in value, the stock being excessive; 100 barrels cod were placed, with some difficulty, at Is. 10d. per gallon. Malt continues at our last quotations. Lumber—The price of white pine has fallen under the free arrivals and the slackened demand for estates' use, the crop being nearly all taken otf. A cargo from Phi ladelphia was placed at 128 s. per 1,000 feet, and another from Calais, Maine, consisting of about 100,000 feet at 103. We have no sales to report of pitch pine. Cedar shingles are worth 225. Brandy—Martell's dark is taken at 6s. to 75., and pale at Bs. per gallon, in bond, but the demand is trifling. Tobacco—Cavendish 16's realize 7d., and 18's and 20's 7i I. per pound. Ruin—Small parcels are moved at 4s. to 4s. 3d. per gallon for proof 21. Specie—Doubloons are exceedingly scarce. Colum bian are worth 3to 3i per cent. premium. Dollars are Lken at l per cent. premium, or 4 i l ,- each. Freights—The demand has not been so eager since the lst - of August, notwithstanding that a large - quantity of produce yet remains on hard. The exceedingly low rates at which sugar is being sold in England have tended considerably to cheek the desire to export. Freights for sugar may be quoted at 4s. 61 per cwt., and rum 4d. to 61. per gallon. Sugar ranges from 18s. to 225. per 100 lb. _ _ Exchanges—On London, 90 day% 2, and GO days 1 per cent. discount. On New York, 60 days, 4to 5 per cent. premium. THE MARYLEBONE MURDER. THE CONFESSION OF THE CONDEMNED CRIMINAL. The unfortunate woman, Mary Ann Hunt, who was convicted at the last session of the Central Cri minal Court, of murdering, under most brutal cir cumstances, an old woman named Stowell, still re mains in Newgate, awaiting the decision of the Government, as to whether the sentence of death passed upon her is to be carried into eff-nt or not. It was proved at the trial, as will be in the recollec tion of our readers, that the wretched criminal was in the family-way, and as there appears to be no doubt that she will eventually become a mother, the sentence cannot, of course, be carried into effect until after she is delivered. It has been pretty generally understood, within the last few days, that the wretched woman has made a full confession of 'her guilt, and although the evi dence so ovarvihelming as to leave no doubt that the jury came to the only conclusion it was possible fur them, upon the facts deposed to by the witnesses, yet it will be satisfactory to the gentlemen who felt themselves constrained to return a verdict, the effect of which, in all human probability, would be to consign a fellow-creature to death lawn the scaffold, and also to the public to know that there is no doubt that this is the case and that the unhappy culprit has, in clear and undisputed terms, admitted her guilt. Imme diately after she retired from the dock, when the jury had delivered their verdict, and sentence had been pronounced, she appeared to recover her self-posses sion, and said to one of the officials, who was accom panying her, " They do not yet know how it as was done." For some days after the trial she was very taciturn, but at length, as above stated, she con fessed that she had caused the death of the poor old woman, and detailed the circumstances under which the act was committed. The officials connected with the prison have exercised the greatest reserve upon the subject, the ground for which appears to be that as some persons in authority have felt themselves called upon to make exertions to save the life of the prisoner, and obtain a commutation of the sentence, the publi cation of the confession as to the circumstances under which the crime was committed might have the effect of paralysing their, humane exertions. So far as has been gleaned from authentic sources, it appears the pri soner has admitted she destroyed the deceased, but denies that the act was a premeditated one. It will be remembered that upon the trial it was proved that on the Monday previous to the fatal occurrence taking place on the Wednesday, the accused and the deceased had a violent quarrel, and that the former made use of such threats towards the old woman as to induce the other lodgers to send for the landlord of the house, and this was adduced as a proof that the crime was premeditated by the prisoner. She, however, declares, that at this time she had no intention to hurt her, and that her threatening to de for her merely referred to her intention to prevent her from continuing to re ceive assistance from the family of Colonel Wyndham by informing them that she was not in such bad cir cumstances as she represented herself to be, and that she was not a worthy object of charity. The priso ner states that at this time she was in great distress'of mind, owing to her pecuniary difficulties, and her in ability, from want of funds, to get to Brighton, where, as she was well known, she expected to have,been able to obtain a situation. This pressed upon her sp;rits, and for several days before the fatal occurrence she states that she was hardly aware what she was doing. It. transpired accidentally in the course of the trial that the prisoner had been connected with a polica constable of the detective force, and who, it ap pears, is the father of the child of which she is en ceinte, and he, it seemed, had promised to send her some money, but failing to do so it increased her dis tress, and, as she says, almost drove her mad. On the day on which the fatal occurrence took place, the prisoner states that she was pressed by the deceased for payment, and, in the course of a violent quarrel the deceased attempted to strike her. This excited her, and induced her to strike the old woman in re turn, and she fell to the ground insensible, and she then threw herself upon her, and did not desist from violence until the deceased was no more. It then occurred to her that the deceased had a hoard of money in her drawers, and she opened the one in which she believed it was kept, and was surprised to find that there was no more than one or two and twenty shillings, which she possessed herself of, and then went out to endeavour to make her way to Brighton, but finding that the last train had started, she re turned to the house, and stayed in th e room w ith the deceased until the following morning, when, in at tempting to depart, she was arrested in the extraor dinary manner detailed at the trial, and which led to the discovery of the murder. These are the principal facts stated by the unhappy prisoner, and she appears quite resigned to her fate, and does not seem to ex pect any commutation of her sentence. She is, low ever, constantly watched by the female turnkeys of the gaol, and is not left atone either by night or day. RECONCILIATION IN HIGH LIFE.—It will be a 'source of gratification to all our readers in the highest circles of society to learn, that the estrangement which has existed in a ducal family, caused by the indiscreet elopement of a youthful lady, has at length ended in a reconciliation, happily brought about by a near relative of the noble family. A MATRIMONIAL NEWSPAPER. — Every commu nity, class, and profession, has its literary organ ; and, not to be behind the rest of the world, the keepers of matrimonial offices in Paris have started a journal under the alluring title of the Harem. It is to serve as a me dium of communication between persons who wish to get married. Ladies in want of husbands are to write letters to it, setting forth their personal charms, and the amount of their fortunes, together with any other particulars they may think likely to enhance their value in the matrimonial market ; and gentlemen are to write similar communications. It is, in fact, to be an adver tising paper for would-be wives and would-be husbands. TO SIR ROBERT PEEL. On Friday, on the occasion of the visit of Sir R. Peel to Seaham, the Mayor and several members of the corporation of Sunderland waited upon the Right Hon. Baronet to present an address which that body had unanimously adopted. The address expressed, on the part of the pre senters, their deep sense of the invaluable services of the Right Hon. Baronet, when at the time that the empire was threatened with a fearful calamity, as principal adviser of her Majesty, he adopted the means best calculated to afford relief. Sir ROBERT PEEL said—As you were good enough to send me a copy of the document which you have just placed in my hands, and thinking that you might wish to have a written answer to the add ress you have presented, I have prepared one, which I will read to you. The Right Hon. Baronet proceeded to read as follows :—" I have visited this neighbourhood for the sole purpose of gratifying feelings of private friendship, and of being present on an occasion deeply interesting to the members of a noble family for whom I feel a very sincere regard, and who bear a name which I must ever hold in the highest respect. Your kindness compels me to forget for a moment the private capacity in which my visit has been paid, and publicly to return to you my best acknowledgments for the address which you have presented to me in pursuance of the unanimous vote of the Council of the borough of Sunderland. I thank you for the justice you have done to the motives which influenced my conduct on the occasion to which you have alluded in the address. On entering into the service of our gracious Sovereign, I accepted, together with the distinction and privileges of office, the heavy responsibility which it imposes. When at a crisis of great difficulty I offered that advice which in my heart and conscience I believed to be best calculated to mitigate immediate suffering, and to diminish the risk of future peril, I was only fulfilling the solemn obligation which I had contracted when I undertook the duties of a Minister. It is gratifying to me to receive from you the emphatic assurance that I so discharged those duties as to have entitled me to your approbation and esteem. I fully participate in the anxiety you express for the maintenance and promo tion of our maritime interests ; they are intimately blended with the general welfare of this great country, and our national defence and security. I confidently trust that the several measures which have been adopted of late years for simplifying the commercial code, for abolishing vexatious regulations on trade, and for reducing the duties on articles of the first importance in the construction and navigation of our commercial marine, will have a beneficial effect on those interests with which the town of Sunder land has so intimate and important a connexion." The light Hon. Baronet concluded with the expres sion of his regret that circumstances prevented him from personally conveying his sentiments to the in habitants of Sunderland, and assured them that if he again visited the county of Durham, he would not fail to visit that port. The members of the corporation were then invited to a luncheon, provided in a neighbouring hotel, at which the Marquis of Londonderry presided. Be sides Sir R. Peel, there were present the Duke of Rutland, Lord Belhaven, and Lord Combennere, part of the distinguished circle now visiting Wynyard. Sir R. PEEL, in responding to a toast to his health, adverted to the exemplary manner in which Lord Londonderry discharged the duties incident to the possession of property both in England and Ireland, and to the public spirit and enterprise which he had evinced in the construction of Seaham harbour. He said it would be a proud reflection to Lord and Lady Londonderry at the close of life, that they had ap propriated their property so as to be the founders of a port on the eastern coast of England—that they had added to the maritime strength of the country, and the employment and industry of its inhabitants— that they had established every institution connected with the well-being of the people, providing for their religious worship, administering c( nsolation in sick ness and suffering, and remembering those moral obligations which the possession of property imposed. An address of similar import from Stockton was also presented to Sir R. Peel at ‘N,Tynyard. Sir R. PEEL read a reply, in which, referring to those who were parties to the address, he said—They have, I fear, greatly overrated any services- which I have been enabled—to render, and have ascribed to me an undue share of merit on fieo.v of the par ticular nip sores to which they refer; , but I may accept tTreir approbation for The faithful perform ance of the duty, imperative upon a public man, which requires him to give that advice which he conscientiously believes to be most conducive to the general welfare, and, should painful personal sacrifices be requisite for the purpose of giving effect to it, cheerfully to submit to them. I cordially concur in the sentiments expressed in this address with regard to the beneficial results of a free commercial intercourse between the several nations of the world. I believe it will be found to be the most powerful instrument for promoting peace, for extend ing civilization, and for increasing the comfort and enjoyments of the great body of the community in every country. Having unshaken confidence in the abstract truth of those principles which enjoin the unrestricted interchange of the several products for which we are indebted to the bounty of Providence and the skill and industry of man ; and being con vinced that the practical application of them will con duce to the welfare of every people, I feel assured that they will gradually prevail over all the impedi ments which erroneous views of commercial policy, or partial interests, may for a time offer to their pro gress. If I wanted any other motive to stimulate my humble efforts in support of those principles beyond the deep conviction of their truth, and the sense of public duty, it would be amply supplied by such a token of your approval and confidence as you have this day presented to me.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON BLACKHEATH.—Saturday afternoon Mr. Payne held an inquest at St. Thomass Hospital, on view of the body of Samuel Jackman, aged twenty-eight, a labourer on the North Kent Railway. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that about one o'clock on Thursday morning, the deceased, with some other men, was engaged in sinking a shaft on Blackheath, for the purpose of forming a tunnel to connect a railway between Greenwich and Gravesend. He was at the top of the shaft, which is nine feet in diameter and forty-five feet in depth , a nd had drawn u p by a windless a pail filled with water, taken from a land spring, when, while in the act of tipping it over, he fell back. Deceased immediately called out " below!" upon which the men at the bottom of the shaft moved on one side, and the deceased fell in the midst of them. He was drawn up in a state of insensibility, when he was seen by a surgeon, and removed to the n'oove institution. lie was there attended to by Mr. T. Bull, house-surgeon, ho found both the thigh and the elbow bo res severe l y rhae e ffect c ur e e e d t , of and whicht er e injurieswas an extensivedied the s same calp wound, iny from the afternoon.

Pilgrim-lane , sible the parochial engine was taken to the spot, and set to work from a pond of water in the lawn ; at the s ame time the inhabitants exerted themselves in removing as ' mach furniture as possible from the lower part of the building. The fire, it should be stated, had already ob tained too strong a hold of the top floors . for any one to enter them. The engine was worked with vigour for a considerable time, but, unfortunately, little or no impres sion could be made upon the flames ; a mounted express was, therefore, sent for the assistance of the London engines, and several immediately started for the scene of conflagration. All hands at once set to work, and by half-past six o'clock the fire was happily subdued. The damage done is very serious, and at a moderate calcula tion will amount to several hundred pounds. The origin of the outbreak was not ascertained.

Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Co lonial-offme from the Governor of Sierra Leone, evolt _ ing character. It will be remembered that ) a r short time back the London and North-Western Railway purchased a large portion of land running from the Hampstead-road to Seymcur-street, for the purpose of enlarging the terminus. At the back of this ground a large and lofty wall has been run up, se parating the railway from a new square called Ampt hill- square, the houses forming which are now in course of erection, those near the Hampstead -road being completed and inhabited. The roads around the square are not yet finished, and during the last few weeks a large quantity of rubbish has been shot for the purpose of forming them. During the night of Thursday an immense quantity of broken-up coffins and human bones were shot upon the spot, but where they were brought from no one could tell. On the Friday large numbers were drawn to the spot, and not only were human bones found in large quantities, but pieces of flesh were picked up. The children who were there amused themselves by raking over the soil for the pur pose of finding teeth, of which great numbers were picked up. The reporter, who was present, had a whole handful shown him, the urchin who had picked them up telling him he should take them to a dentist's had sell th nh e r m O brought ght ti making fron, th e inquiryr eporter was where th informed ey that it was from Old St. Pancras churchyard, but whether this is correct or not he is unable to say, there being so many over -crowded burial grounds in the neighbourhood. An advertisement, however, appeared a short time since, stating that some graves would have to be removed in that churchyard, in order to enlarge the church, and the probability is that the remains of suffering humanity have been brought from that place. Saturday the large mound was mixed with gravel, and strewed all over the road, for the purpose of hiding the bones and pieces of coffins with which the earth was intermixed. It is to be hoped that the parochial authorities will make some inquiry into the affair, as, leaving out of question the revolt ing treatment of human remains, the pestilential stench arising from them is so great that if a stop is not put to such a proceeding fever and disease will be engendered in the neighbourhood to an alarming extent.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 4.—At a meeting of the guardians at Kilkenny, on Thursday, a letter was read from the Poor-law Commissioners, dated September 1, refusing to allow any reduction of the rates for temporary ad vances already declared, the highest of which is ls. Bd., but in most electoral divisions not exceeding sd. in the pound. The following passage from the letter is important : " The Commissioners baying every reason to sup pose that whatever time may be allowed by the Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury for the actual repayment of the advances made, they will not forego the immediate making of rates for that purpose, to the extent above described, now call upon the guardians of Kilkenny union to proceed, without fail, in the making of the rates resolved upon on the 19th ult." The estimate for the Kilkenny division amounts to 3s. 6id. for ordinary purposes alone ; and the Commis sioners say it is not possible for them to sanction any rate being made on the principle of excluding from it all provision for the repayment of the temporary ad vances. On the recommendation of the Hon. Mr. WANDES. FORDE, the guardians postponed further proceedings until they had time to consider the letter of the Com missioners. _ _ _ ENNISKILLEN —The guardians of this union were convened for Tuesday, to hear a communi:;ation from the Commissioners on the refusal of the board to in clude the amount for out-door relief on the rate struck for the ordinary expenses of the workhouse. The Commissioners had previously threatened to appoint paid guardians. Nothing, however, vas done, in consequence, as the local paper says, of the absence of a number of the guardians at the Lough Erne Regatta. CLOGITEEN.—Nt the meeting on Monday, one of the guardians (Mr. O'Brien) openly repudiated, on the ground that " England draws annually out of the country 16,000,0001." The Chairman, Mr. Barton, Mr. J. A. Rutter, arid other guardians, declared that such conduct would be dishonest. They recom mended that the proper rate should be struck, and then that the Government should be asked to give time for repayment. Lord Kingston said, " ihe Government think the pe.ple have plenty of money." Mr. Archer Buller replied, " They never were more mistaken in their Ultimately a resolution, declaring a rate of 3s. in the pound, was adopted by a majority of 12 to 4. RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATES. At the meeting of the Carlow guardians, on Thursday, the Chairman stated that there had been resistance to the collection of the rate for outdoor relief in Graigue, Shrule, and Arles ; that the Rev. Mr. Hickey, on Sunday last, told his flocks not to pay for out-door relief, and that he would write im mediately to Conciliation Hall for instructions how to act. The result was that a rescue had been made on the property seized for poor-rate. It was resolved to communicate with the Commissioners on the sub ject. The Chairman remarked upon " the universal disposition not to pay the rate." The Limerick Reporter gives an account of resist ance to the collection of the new poor-rate in the parish of Emly, county of Tipperary. Lord Glengall presided on Thursday at a meeting of the rate-payers of five unions in the county of Tipperary, held in Clonmel, to " consider the enor mous burden of taxation with which the country was oppressed." INQUEST • ON PERSONS TRANSMITTED FROM ENGLAND. An inquest was held yesterday in the cabin of the Duchess of Kent steamer on the bodies of the two poor persons who died-on board that vessel. The jury found the following verdict : t; We find that Michael Duignan was removed in a cart at seven o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last from a fever hospital in the town of Rochdale, in England, to the railway station there, and thence transmitted by railway, a di s t ance o f forty-seven miles, to Liverpool, and there put on board the same day as a deck passenger, in a weak and very exhausted state—in a state quite unfit to undertake a voyage across the channel; and we find that his death was caused by the exposure of his weak and diseased frame to the cold of a tempestuous night on the deck of the steamer. We cannot too strongly condemn the treatment of the said Michael Duignan by the parish authorities of Rochdale, and attribute his death to their inhuman conduct in sending him in such a state of weakness to Ireland s p e ( o r a s it e p d p s ar t to en c t o l l y d and npd ‘ a ' Iw We peeto fi onnddet the t h eh a d t we eathesk causedo s f a i t d he u D n n bu a ye ra hb e ee d sisn m go a fe n xic ' o e f a S in e e p r ! which left Liverpool on Wednesd a y, th e Ist tember, 1847 he being in a very weak state, and quiteunfit The iu jury e r s o i s r s e t ht toe eChannel the kind and hu mane con d uct of Captain eckpa passenger. as ' a d their Jones high opinion of particular, his mate, and carpenter, to the deck pas sengers on this occasion."
