BONDED WII E a'r.—Lord John Russell has obtained a Parliamentary document. showing the quantity of wheat in bend on the Ist of July during the last eight years. The paper shows that, on the let ult., there were 430.394 quarters of wheat in bond. The following is the account rendered from 1838 to 1815 :—ln 1838 there were of wheat and wheat lair in bond, 618.590 c i varters ; 1839, 51,217 ; 1810, 569 952 ; 1841, 579,972 ; 1842, 1,253,436 ; 1843, 297.416 ; 1844, 604,122 ; and in 1845, 430,394.

Mr. Green, who ascended in his balloon on Wednesday night from Vauxhall-gardens, effected one of the moat fearful descents ever recorded in the annals of aerostation ; he became entangled with the netting, was dragged between four and five miles in the direction of the river Medway. but, by the interposition of Providence, his life was miraculously spared. his only injuries being a few severe bruises. The balloon, with all its apparatus, is lost. The remnants of the balloon were picked up on Thursday from the water off the " flats" or sands at Cliffe, beyond Gravesend. It was torn to pieces. HYDROPIIOI3IA.—A. voune man, named Arleden, at Barking Creek, was attacked a few days since with this ►rightful malady. Upon bringing some water he exhibited the most intense agony, dashing it from him, and fainting. The usual remedies were applied with but little effect. At one time it required the united efforts of four men (although but 'l7 years of age) to hold him down. He was finally fistened to the bed. arid at his own desire his eyes were covered. as even the shutting of a door, or the passage of sny one across the room, creating the slighiest air, affecting him in a most frightful manner.

The foreman returned a verdict of " guilty," and the man was sentenced to four months' imprisonti;ent. On Wednesday the prisoner's attorney applied to the court, stating that eleven of the jurors, by whose verdict (understood to be unanimous) the prisoner was sentenced to four months' hard labour, were not convinced of his oult, had intended to acquit him, and instructed their foreman so to do. Mr. Baron Parke smiled, arid told the attorney to forward an affidavit to the Secretary of State. A TRUE PORTRAIT.—The League is a complete illus tration of " the man with one idea." Cheap bread, the antecedent—universal comfort and national prosperity, the sequent. This is the cuckoo note, heard not only in spring, when it is pleasant, but all the year round, till it is positively repulsive ; and it is uttered by a thousand throats whose heads have no more conception of the thou. sand intricacies of the question for whose decision they thus ever call, than the sapient bird to which we have re sembled them. In one other important point, indeed, 1 they resemble the bird of spring ; they seem to exercise their one function, according to their own fashion , with a selfishness resembling hers in the performance of her most important operation. Their one egg is deposited with no apparent consideration of the fatal consequences of its hatching to other creatures far more useful and more de lightful than itself.—Record. THE GREAT BELL AT YORK CATHEDRAL. — This monster bell, called the Great Peter, was rung for the first time on Thursday week, in honour of the return of Mr. Hudson, M.P., for Sunderland. The bell was rung but three times, and its tone seems very powerful and equal to the expectations which had been formed of it. The weight of the hell and all its at pendages, together with the frame, is calculated to be 29 tons. The bell is the largest in the kingdom, being five tons heavier than " Old Tom," of Oxford, and seven tons heavier than the celebrated " Tom," of Lincoln. The cost of it is above £2,000 ; its height seven feet four inches, and its diameter eight feet four inches. It is placed (at a height of nearly 200 feet) diagonally in the tower, for the greater security to the building, and above 300 cubic feet of tim. her have been used for its support. It may be rung with two wheels, and will revolve entirely, if necessary. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LONDON.--011 Monday even ing a destructive fire broke out in the premises of Messrs. Bradbury, Greatorix, and Beale, French, Scotch, and Manchester warehousemen, of No. 6, Aldermanbury, by which a large amount of property has been consumed. The premises were five stories high, including the base ment, and were bounded on every side by numerous similar buildings. The Guildhall flanked the premises on the east, Dyers-court, a large and tall row of ware houses, were on the north ; and Fountain-court, used as warehouses, intersected Aldermanhury on the south. The whole covered an area of ground of vast extent. The fire originated in the basement, but so rapid were the flames that ere the engines had arrived, the building was one mass of flame. The exertions of the firemen were insufficient to subdue the conflagration, which made such rapid progress that serious apprehensions were felt for the safety of the church of St. Lawrence Jury. The ad jacent premises of Messrs. Stone and Company, grocers and tea-dealers, No. 5, Aldemanbury, were seriously da maged by water and fire. Others of the adjoining premises suffered severely, and the loss is estimated ss high as £200,000. Messrs. Bradbury, Greatorex & Co. have written to the Morning Chronicle, stating that the amount of property destroyed beyond the amount ensured will exceed £20,000. ENGINES OF THE NOVELTY, STEAMER.—We have already noticed, briefly, the engines of this 'beautiful steamer, the first to ply to Constantinople. The boilers of the engine, the invention of Mr. Borrie, of London. are of the tubular construction, and occupy but little space. The motion is communicated by a smaller cylin der revolving within an external one, and is attached di rectly to the propeller shaft without the utervention of toothed wheels or gearing engine, when applied to wor The common reciprocating propeller, has (on account number of toothed f the slow motion of its pis wheels to bring up the motia 3is mode of communi disadvantageous, not on account of :s unsteadiness, but also the great weight of the gearing _nd the large amount of space it occupies. Another dis advantage of the latter cl , ss of engines is the necessity of having two instead of one, to enable the cranks to turn their centres. This revolving engine has none of these disadvantages, for it can be worked to any velocity re quired, and as it is never on its centres, like the common engine, only one engine is required, and the whole weight of it, including everything, is little more than one-third the common engine, with its appurtenances. The ordinar mode of computing the power of a vessel cannot, for se • veral reasons, be applied to the Novelty, but the motif e power of her engine alone may be considered equal to taat of an ordinary peller is formed of three blades, set to the proper angles engine of from 100 to 120 horse. The p r o and placed one before the other. so as to revolve in differ ent planes, and it is situate in an opening in the afterpart of the vessel, commonly called the deadwood in timber built vessels. There is also an invention of Mr. Borrie's, attached to the engine and propeller, termed a patent friction wheel. Another peculiar advantage of this engine is, that it is so small that it can be situated in a part of a vessel where there is very little stowage, an immense ad vantage as compared with those engines that almost en tirely occupy the ma i n h o ld. By its application to the propeller, and doing away with the unsightly paddle. boxes, (which offer so much obstruction in head winds,) a new epoch will be opened, and the time is not far distant (should this experiment prove entirely successful) when steam will become an auxiliary, if not the principal power, in most of our superior merchant vessels. f bis mntber-in-law -rate has been refused The story about the death of the African Roach's proves There are no less than six towns in Great Britain bear ing the name of Newport. - - • - On Friday Mr. Baillie was elected representative of Linlithaowskiire without opposition.

DR. WOLFF'S OUTSET AS AN ENGLISH MINISTER. — I quitted New York on January 2d, 1838, accompanied to the vessel in which I embarked by numerous friends, and arrived in England on 28th January. Instantly on my arrival in England, in the Isle of Wight, I gave an account of my missionary proceedings for eighteen years ; also at Southampton and London. Being introduced to the Marquis of Angleeea, in whose house I dined and delivered a lecture, his lordship recommended me to the Marquis of Normariby, lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and to Archbishop Whately. The University of Dublin con ferred o❑ me the degree of LL D. From America I received the decree of D.D., from the Pro , estant episco pal college of St. John's, Annapolis, Maryland. I then received priest's orders in Ireland, by the Lord Bishop of Dromore, in June, 1838. Immediately afterwards I was made honorary chaplain to Lord Viscount Lorton, and after eighteen years' peregrination in the world, tired out and enfeebled in constitution, I contemplated now seriously settling i❑ England as one of the clergy of its national church, when the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Manchester, was kind enough to procure me the situation of incum bent at Linthwsite, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, where I bad the princely income of twenty-four pounds per annum, collected by pew rents, and no augmentation from Queen Armes Bounty. Previous to my arrival the Pastoral Aid Society had given eighty pounds to my pre decessor; but as I did not apply for it previous to my ac cepting the living, and as they said Lady Georgiana had a sufficient income, they refused to give it to me. Here I cannot but note, that the state of the British church, ac cording to Pa‘liamentary returns in 1835, viz., of nearly five thousand or ab rued, being pounds per annum, was a position v or ecclesiastical mat ters that called loudly for the attention of the Premier, and I am pleased to see that Sir Robert Peel directed the powers of his vigorous intellect immediately to it. Dis p*rity of income+ in any church, want of promotion of . , deservi ,, g men, create a faintheartedness in its members that must prove deleterious to the church's great interests. —Narrative of the Mission to Bokhara.

The plants, fruits, flowers, &c. were admirably arranged, and the show on the whole was one of the hest yet pre sented in that quarter, which, as a commendable spirit of emulation has prevailed throughout amongst skilful grow ers, is no small weed of praise. Amongst the finer grown specimens of stove plants we observed a fine Clerodendron squamatum, bearing a beau tiful scarlet flower—a new plant •, also a new Achiroenes insata, and an Exora coccinca, a ll sen t b e M r . Wi nc h ; a splendid Gloccinea, a Clerolendron fragrans, (scented>) with a large leaf, and flowers resembling clusters of small roses; a very tail Euphorbea splendens, richly flowered, sent by the Rev. Mr. Mainwaring : a superb specimen of the Pantos carnea, by Mr. R. M. Beckwith ; a fine large Buddlea Lindlyana, (new Chinese plant) with slender cir cling branches, and flowers of French white and purple, sent (not for competition) by Messrs. Killock and Co. A well-grown Sinningulia gutata also attracted attention ; as did, to s high degree, an Aescemanthus Grandillora, which would, no doubt, have obtained a prize, but was considered by the judges to have been c l a s s ed erroneously. The fuchsiaa d were 0 numerous, and nearly all fine, including some novelties. Amongst them were a " Duchess of Sutherland," bearing a light tinted flower, sent by Mr. Winch, perhaps the finest in the tent ; a superb " Row sonii," a seedling (l 84); and another seedling, by Mr. Wainwright, who also sent a collection, including a beau tiful Rosea Alba. Those sent by Mr. Needham were also prime, as were a collection of six sent by Mr. Vertue. which (to our astonishment) did not obtain a prize. The geraniums included many fine plants, particularly those of Mr. H. Littledale, who also sent a Campanula pyra snidts, an extraordinary green-house plant. The further end of the tent was exclusively furnished (not for compe tition) by Messrs. Killock and Co., of Oxton nursery—a most attractive collection, including verbinas, petronias, fnchsiaa, French and African marigolds, German stocks, a fine new double Chinese primrose, and a beautiful dis play of cut flowers. Mr. Steins, of Kensington Cottage, Liverpool, gardener to Mr. Winter, sent a superb collec tion of carnations and picorees. The devices were more than usually tasteful and attrac tive, comprising a sp'endid basket of sarcophagus shape, from Mr. Killock ;:a garden and greenhouse in miniature, from the Misses Cust, Lestio :se Castle; a grotto amidst mossy rocks, lakes, &c., Prom the family of Mr. J. R. Pim, arid au admirable model of Rock-park Cottage, by a youthful gardener—John Dakin, jun. The fruit was pretty plentiful, and in general large and excellent, especially the melons, grapes, cherries, and gooseberries. Mr. Parker's Cheltenham Rand was on the ground, and greatly enli vened the proceedings. The show of vegetables was also superior. The following is a brief statement of the prin cipal prizes . .

Tufnell and Tremt-nhere, to inquire and report as to the condition and working of the school. Those gentlemen had stated, after a lengthened examination of the children, that, con sidering their respective ages, the boys were backward in some of the chief subjects of instruction, but were ad vancing satisfactorily under the present mode of teaching ; that the girls in general were very backward in instruc tion, and tl at there were some of them at an age fit for service, and who bad been several years in the workhouse, who were unable to read or write, but whose industrial training had been well attended to ; that certain vicious girls above fifteen years old in the establishment should . be got rid of; that the infant schoolmistress was not an efficient teacher, and that it would be well to look out for a better ; that a male teacher was preferable to a female in that department. They recommended the formation of a library for the school, and another for the teachers. The secretary was directed to write to the British and 5 0. c, io. Foreign Bible Society, stating, that the schools being now in full operation, the bibles and testaments offered by the society would be thankfully received. The minutes of the Workhouse Committee mentioned that Mr. Riding had called attention to the illegality of cr employing the inmates at the '• handles," and that the visiting committee had been requested to consider the matter, and report upon it to the next meeting. Mr. George Pilkington's salary as clerk having been considered too high, the committee bad resolved to reduce it from £4O to £25. 1 U 1 es Mr. BREMNER objected to the reduction, and moved that that part of the proceedings be not confirmed.

" With respect to the capital or the company, your committee have lately sold 60 shares of £lOO each by public auction, at an average premium of £lO4 Bs. 4d. ; adding the subscription and premium together. the pur chasers of these shares receive rather less than £5 per cent. interest. There is now standing to the credit of the company, £10,023 17s. of unexpended capital. After this shall have been laid out, the proprietors of the origi nal 500 shares in the company will be called upon to pro vide by subscription a further capital of £25,000. " In conclusion, the committee recommend that a di vidend of £5 per share be now declared." The CHAIRMAN spoke at some length on the topics embraced in the report, and adverted to the attempt to establish a rival company, as having occasioned conside rable trouble to the company, and some expense to the public, and being most decidedly uncalled for. He said that when the attempt was made before to get a rival company, the directors thought, that if the public looked at the question in a right point of view, and would be guided by the evidence of figures, it would be seen that every addition to the capital employed would only retard the decrease in price, or, rather, would increaae the charge to the consumers generally. It was quite evident, he contended, that if any means were adopted to diminish the number of their tenants, or to decrease the consump tion of their gas—seeing that, with the exception of the cost of materials, the whole expenditure had been gone to, not only for works, but for laying the mains—it was quite evident to every thinking man, that the price, in stead of being reduced, would be absolutely increased, by the operation of a rival company. He concluded by moving that the report be received. The motion was at once acceded to. The accounts were then passed ; and it was further resolved, that a dividend of £5 per share, deducting the income-tax, be paid ; and that the sum of 4:26fiti Ils. 3d., being the balance of the profit and loss account, be placed to the credit of the next year. In answer to a question from Mr. JOHNSON', The CHAIRMAN said, in the contract with the munici pal authorities, it would be at their option to terminate it at the end of three or five years. The contract was for three years certain. at the charge per lamp of 1:4 2s. 6d. Mr. MILLAP-11 stated that the warrants for the divi dends would be sent by that evening's post. „ Thanks were then Toted to the chairman, who, in his reply, passed a high eulogium upon the officers of the company, and particularly upon Mr, King. CORRESPONDENCE. COTTAGE ALLOTMENTS. HOME COLO NISA.TION, I TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARL Szit,—l rejoice to perceive that greater attention is now paid by the upper classes of society to the domestic com tort of the industrious portion of our population. No thing is more cond uc i ve to t h e amelioration of the condi tion of the rural districts than the allotment of certain portions of land, as field gardens, at a comparatively small rental. This system instils a spirit of freedom and inde pendence into the breasts of our peasantry, and by giving them a stake in the welfare of the country, prevents that reckless insubordination and discontent from the effects of which it is feared many of those incendiary tires oc curred, of which of late we have been happily free from a repetition. It likewise has a tendency to keep the labourer from soliciting parish relief, which may be termed the bine of society, if greatly extendfd when once a man be comes a pauper, in most instances his future indepen dence is destroyed, and indolent habits contracted, caus ing him to look to others for that support he should de rive from his own persevering and honest exertion. The best policy of government, therefore, is to promote and encourage, by all means, the measure recommended, and also the carrying out all requisite public works to prevent a recurrence of the misery witnessed a few years, since when the working classes were reduced to a state bordering upon starvation, owing to a lack of employ ment and very small wages 15th August, 1845.
