We subjoin the following letter, written yesterday, from a valued Correspondent : LUDLOW, TUESDAY MORNING.—The excitement caused by the attempt to murder Mr. Mackreth is unabated, and the subject may be said to supply exclusive matter for conversa tion. Misters continues in custody, and will be brought up to the Guildhall to-morrow, when additional evidence will be brought forward. It is curious that Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Thos. Jobson, and Mr. Lakin have not yet been examined, though it is clear that their testimony is calculated to throw addi tional light upon this mysterious and horrible affair. . The medical gentlemen report that Mr. Mackreth, the sufferer, is doing as well as can be expected. The wounds on his cheeks are in a way to heal soon, but the wound in his throat is dangerous. A superintendent of the Birmingham police came by the mail yesterday morning, and is making some judicious in quiries. He proceeds to Worcester to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the prisoner's statement with regard to sleeping with a woman there, and also from whence the razor was obtained. The superintendent thinks the villagers and ped lars in the neighbourhood of Shrewsbury ought to be exa mined, as the razor evidently appears to be one of the kind they sell. A discovery of some importance was made on Saturday morning, by ascertaining that the water in the prisoner's chamber utensil. contained a strong solution of alum, and is supposed to have been used in washing his shirt sleeve and pocket handkerchief, which he dried again by wrapping it round .his body when in bed, and which was not quite dry when he was searched. It is said that the solution of alum is capable of destroying the colouring matter in blood, without staining the water. The soap used in it curdled and swam at the top and would not mix with it. You will see by the evi dence that a lump of alum was found in his pocket. The following particulars, relative to Misters, we have re ceived from a correspondent : BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Misters is most respectably connected here. One brother is a maltster, doing a most extensive trade. Another brother kept the Crown, in Lich field-street, hero, with whom the prisoner lived for some time a gentleman's life, previous to which he was in the em ployment of Mr. Gooden, of the Nelson Hotel, Bull Ring, as shopman to the liquor shop belonging to that house. He has been a trouble to his brothers, and at one time the malt ster provided him with means to leave the country, which he squandered away. - The Birntingham Journal communicates some facts, bear ing on this case, which we here append : It is said that the name of the maker on the razor found at Ludlow is " Eslin," with the words " cast steel," and that Josiah Misters, the man in custody, is respectably connected and well known in Birmingham. There had been found in his lodgings here, by Mr. Sergeant Smith, a portmanteau, containing duplicates for the following articles, pledged in Birmingham :—trousers, trousers apd waistcoat, coat, suit of clothes, two pair of drawers, two waistcoats, trousers, two brooches, and other articles; also several letters, addressed to him in Leominster; together with a copy of depositions against him in the case of Thomas Wooding, above referred to, and which clearly proves that he is the same person whom the officers of Ludlow supposed him to be. He was charged on .that occasion with having stolen three five-pound notes and three sovereigns, and was committed, at Leominster,. by Thomas F. Watling, Esq., mayor, and Francis Woodhouse, Esq. None of the officers here knew whether he was con victed on the charge. The woman with whom he lodged in Canal-street, states that he came to reside with her about Easter, and remained with her until last Saturday week, when he left, without giving her any notice. She expected him home as usual every night, and kept his lodging for him, but had not heard auy thing of him until the officers went to search the_ place. Tavern bills to a large amount were found amongst Misters' papers : one is for twenty-six pound eight shillings and fivepence halfpenny, together with bills for car riage and horse hire. Several articles of wearing apparel, &c., amongst which was a white linen apron and some books, were found in his portmanteau. MISTERS IN SHREWSBURY On August 9th, the Sunday before Shrewsbury Fair, (which took place on this day fortnight), the person who has been so much and so suspiciously mixed up in this lament able affair came to the Unicorn Inn, in this town. This was about four in the afternoon. He had no luggage, but brought with him a small brown paper 'parcel, tied round with red tape, which has since been ascertained to contain only a few papers and a light summer jacket, minus a few of its princi pal buttons and rather the worse for the wear, Having entered the Unicorn, he very speedily inquired of of the waiter whether Mr. Ludlow used that house? She said that he did. Misters then asked if he was in the habit of attending Shrewsbury fairs ? On being told that he was, Misters said " I know him very well and shall see him here." Mr. Ludlow arrived at the Unicorn on the next day, Mon day. Misters asked if he slept in a double-bedded room, and was informed by the chambermaid that he did. In point of fact, he did not, but a friend had tea with him on that even ing, and it was supposed that friend would occupy the second bed. _ _ _ . . After Mr. Ludlow, his friend, and another gentleman had tea, on the Monday evening, Misters (who had been in the room with them) asked if he, could have tea. Mr. Ludlow and the others left the room, and Misters then made particu lar inquiries from the waiter as to the number of the bed room occupied by Mr. Ludlow, but was not informed. On Tuesday night, Mr. Goodwin, of the Unicorn, (suspi cious from the appearance of Misters and his want of luggage, that he was running up a bill he had no means of paying,) took occasion to ask Mr. Ludlow if he knew him, and that gentleman denied all knowledge of him. On Wednesday, Misters dined at the farmers' ordinary at the Unicorn. In order ta ascertain if he had any money, Mr. Goodwin desired the waiter to collect the cash after dinner. Misters told her to " put it down in the bill and fetch in a pint of sherry." She said it was customary to pay cash at the ordinary. He said he had no small change, and asked her if she had change for a £5 note, and on her answering in the affirmative, left the room, and enquired for his brown paper parcel. He enquired at the bar what Shrewsbury bank did business with the London and Westminster bank, and said that he had a £5O bill which he wanted to get cashed. It turned out, however, that he had only a £lO acceptance, and when Mr. Goodwin's nephew accompanied him to various banks, none of them would ca4h it. On his return from his unsuccessful mission, he was accused by the landlord of hav ing come to his house without means of payment, and again he went out, accompanied as before, in quest of some Bir mingham person who knew him. He went to the Bell in the Abbey Foregate, but did not there meet with an acquaint ance. At the Angel he was more fortunate, for there he saw some one who knew his brother, (a very respectable man) who keeps the George and Crown, John -street, Birmingham. To this brother Misters wrote, during the few minutes he was at the Angel, stating that he was " hard up," and entreating him to remit £5. He then returned to the Unicorn, where Mr. Goodwin sent him back to the room in which he had dined, and where the company were by this time pretty well acquainted with the purseless condition of this new Jeremy Diddler. It may readily be supposed, under such circum stances, and without any thing to drink, Misters' situation during the three or four hours he continued in that company was not very pleasant. In the evening, Mr. Goodwin threatened to deprive him of his coat, stock, and breast-pin, but, at the instance of Mrs. Goodwin, permitted him to retain them, and bade him leave the house. Here again he was indebted to womanly kindness, for at the solicitation of Mrs. G. he was allowed to remain that night. The next morning (Thursday) Mr. Goodwin charitably gave him breakfast, and Mrs. Goodwin let him have dinner. He loitered about the Unicorn yard until four o'clock, when he quietly went away, leaving his summer jacket behind him. His destination, as far as could be ascertained from what he said, was Leominster, and he said that at Ludlow he should put up at the Feathers Inn, with the landlord of whom he professed to be very intimate. He was respectably dressed in Shrewsbury, but had no change of linen. He wore a black stock, the ends of which covered his shirt in front. FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT Mr. Thomas Clarke, of Welsh Pool, a gentleman of high respectability, who has been in the habit for many years of attending our fairs, was at the .Unicorn, in this town, the night previous to the last Shrewsbury Fair. Mr. Clarke has, we believe, without any exception, slept at his relation's in Mardol during his occasional sojourn at the fairs, except the last, when he observed to Mr. Ludlow that if they could have a double-bedded room to themselves, he (Mr. Clarke) would sleep at the Unicorn, whereby he should be earlier in the fair the following morning (Wednesday)—a proposition to which Mr. Ludlow cordially responded. The person who is supposed to have committed the horrible act at Ludlow was then in one corner of the room, but not joining in the conversation. Mr. Clarke thought him a most suspicious character, and, when the knowledge of the recent most hor rible attempt at murder and robbery was communicated to him, said he had not the slightest doubt that, had he not fortunately slept that night in the same room with his friend Mr. Ludlow, that night would the murderous attempt have been made. Mr. Clarke was at the time so rivetted to the suspicious appearance of the stranger, that from recollectiou he could pick him out from thousands of persons. JOURNAL OFFICE, HALF-PAST TEN, P.M A report prevailed in Shrewsbury, during this afternoon, that Mr. Mackreth had died of his wounds. We have just seen a gentleman who left Ludlow at eight o'clock, and are happy to learn from him that Mr. Mackreth's medical at tendants have every hope of his recovery, and expect that the wound in his throat will speedily unite. • TILE ROMANTIC INNKEEPER.—At Fochabers, Murray, the innkeeper, who retired from business this year, was originally a foundling, and never had a guess of his own his tory; but all his life lie annually received a blank cover con taining £5O.

NEW RIDING HOUSE FOR HER MAJESTY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert have inspected the work s now go i ng on at the new riding-house and stalls, for the erection of which parliament voted £70,000. Her Majesty and the Prince ex pressed themselves much pleased with the various arrange ments, and with the progress which had been made in the work. The architectural style of the building is in perfect keeping with that of the Castle. It is situated on the south western side of, and about IGO yards from, the Castle. The building is faced with Bath and Wyckhain Heath stone, and its frontage 300 feet. The riding-house, the exterior of which is nearly completed, only the roofing being unfinished, which is just commenced, is 170 feet in length, 52 in width, and nearly 40 feet in height. On the right and left of the riding-house are extensive stables, surrounding large yards in the centre, for the royal ponies and the saddle and car riage horses. Another wing, farther to the left, is to be ap propriated for carriages. Numerous dormitories, for the use of the grooms and stable-keepers, will be built over the rid. ing-house and coach-houses. At the entrance to the riding house, over the vestibule, a gallery is erected for the use of her Majesty and the court, commanding a view of its inte rior, which is approached by a spiral staircase though the right-hand s quare t ower , o f which there are two, one on either side of the grand entrance. The riding-house will be corn pleted and fit for the use of her Majesty before Christmas next. For convenience and appropriateness the whole eco nomy of the building is most admirable, and the arrangements excellent. AYTOUN. —SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. --ASSAULT BY WISASELS.--Wednes'day morning last, as a boy of thirteen or fourteen, in the employment of Mr. Martin, of Millbank Mill , was riding into Ayt oun , a short. way north of the village, seven weasels issued out of a plantation on the roadside, and setting themselves er ec t on t h e i r hinder ends, drew up in a regular line, direct in the pony's pat short, and, although adinonished b y h ir a ft n . Theda pout'nahee stopped refused to advance. The rider dismount e d w i t h the intention , of forcing the pony on. Scarcely, however, had he reached the ground than the opposing force rushed simultaneously to the charge, the whole seven (leaving the pony unmolested) springing up the boy's clothes, with the obvious intention of reaching his throat, always the favourite object of a weasel's attack. The young cavalier commenced vigorously to re pulse the assailants, brushing them off with his hands , and attempting to give them the c ou p de g race withhis feet: By the time the battle had thus raged for a few minutes, he had succeeded in laying three of the enemy dead at his feet ; when the other four, seeing their chance of victory desperate, beat a retreat. The victor, however, followed up his success, and killed another before they could reach the plantation. The little fellow then returned to the scene of action, deposited the slain in a bag, and carried them home to his mother as a trophy of his victory. EXTRAORDINARY CONSPIRACY (Prom the Bristol Mirror.) The weather and the harvest have excited and are still ex citing the most intense anxiety, both amongst the agricultu ral and commercial interests, as a short crop, and a conse quent importation of foreign corn, followed as that importa tion would he by a great export of the precious metals, must be productive of the most disastrous consequences to the community generally. A letter, of extraordinary import ance, in reference to this subject, has just come under our notice, from which it appears that an atrocious conspiracy has been organised for the sole purpose of raising prices, and so reducing the duty as to lead to the importation of corn, the export of gold, and the attendant paralysis of all com mercial and tradik operations. The following is an extract of the letter ' • it is from an unquestionable source, the well known Mr. Handley, one of the whig members for South Lincolnshire, being the writer : " My attention, says Mr. Handley, was called to the state of the London and Liverpool corn returns in the course of last month, and I in consequence moved for papers relative thereto in the House of Commons on the 29th July, and have since that period been in constant communication with the Board of Trade. It is perfectly notorious in London that several large houses in the corn trade have combined and subscribed to make forced purchases for the purpose of reducing the duty, and hence the monstrous returns of the last four weeks, 9598 qrs., 11,235 qrs., 14,900 qrs., and 19,500 qrs., being in the average more than double the amounts of any preceding month. Thus, at a period of the Year when stocks are na turally low, and when the arrivals in the port of London are represented as only 10,725 qrs., and the quantities by land carriage 6 to 700 qrs., the returns of wheat represented as sold in the same week are nearly double that quantity, and almost equal to one fourth of the aggregate amount of corn sold in the 149 other cities and towns of England and Wales named in the corn bill of the 9th Geo. IV. The discrepancies in the average prices of Mark-lane and Boston are also singularly wide ; but the London returns are better borne out by the markets of Guildford, Uxbridge, &c, in price than they are by comparative quantities. The Board of Trade has instituted a searching investigation as to the bulks represented as sold, and the bona fide nature of the transactions. Should they be proved to be fraudulent, they will be struck out of the averages ; but if it shall appear, as there is too much reason to apprehend, that certain partie 4 s have really made such purchases, and have thought fit to sacrifice large sums of money, with a view to future gain, I fear as the law stands there is no remedy, especially where the facilities are afforded, as in Mark-lane, of three markets in the week." No remedy ! The miserable wretch who robs his neighbour of a loaf of bread in order to appease his hunger, will be sent to the tread-mill or to Botany Bay, but your bloated profes sors of love fur the people,' your ardent philanthropists — your corn-law-repealers—may swindle—may starve a whole nation with impunity. So much for reform ! On these transactions the London Standard has the follow ing remarks :—The villany exposed by Mr. Handley has strong substantive claims to the notice and indignation of the public, but the exposure is otherwise of immense interest. It proves the power of the great corn-dealers to raise and lower the markets at pleasure, even in the present state of the law, when the home supply necessarily interferes with them ; and it proves also their readiness to employ the power in question for their private gain, wholly regardless of the misery they inflict upon the public. Let, however, the sup ply of our markets be made in a greater degree than at pre sent dependent upon an import trade, as it would be by a re peal of the corn-laws, and the power, now so wickedly exer cised, would be infinitely enhanced—the food and lives of the people would become the subject of daily speculation—the Stock Exchange would be as a dove-cote to the rookery of Mark-lane. Let the people think of this in time. They have but to inquire who are now the great anti-corn-law agi tators, and they will find them to be the moneyed capitalists and their organs. From this, if they are not blind, they must see that the purpose with which the cry against the corn laws is raised is nothing less than to place the subsistence of the people absolutely at the mercy of the possessors of money capital. Mr. Handley has shown the power which these men already possess, and their mode of using it, and without his assistance in the latter, the people see from the factory sys tem how the power conferred by money will always be used. What reason is there to suppose, that money having obtained a monopoly of the subsistence of the labouring classes, will use that monopoly more delicately than it uses its monopoly of the labour of the working classes ? Let the classes named, the classes most deeply concerned in the preservation of the corn-laws, think of this in time. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS TO THE MEDITEIt- RANEAN (From the United Service Gazette) The following enumeration of the intended movements of regiments has just been decided on by the General Command ing in Chief, in concert with her Majesty's government. We are glad to be able to give this exclusive and authentic in formation at so early a period, because we know that it will be the means of relieving the doubts and uncertainties of many of our military friends. How far the projected movements are likely to prove satisfactory to the parties more immedi ately concerned, we are not prepared to say ; but we shall be happy to learn that they are such as to have met with their approval. For our own parts, we must candidly confess that they do not meet with ours ; originating, as they do, in the " rotation system," which has always appeared to us to be one of the worst concocted and least beneficial military ar rangements that have ever yet been brought into operation. We cannot perceive either the policy or the justice of sending regiments from one scorching climate to another, without any intermediate rest; and we are equally at a loss to discern the advantage which is likely to accrue to the service from suddenly transferring corps which have been accustomed, for a long series of years, to do duty under a tropical sun, to the freezing climate of our North American possessions. The inevitable consequences of so injudicious a proceeding have been manifested upon more than one occasion, by the whole sale ravages which death has committed upon several regi ments subjected to trials similar to those which the corps in question are about to undergo. We shall be but too happy to be convinced that our gloomy, but, we fear, well-grounded, apprehensions are erroneous, and to have it in our power, hereafter, to record that the 14th, 70th, 74th, 89th, 84th, and 68th regiments have not had their ranks considerably thinned by their transfer from the West Indies and Jamaica to Canada! It will be a source of equal gratification to us to hear that the removal of the 33d, 47th, 59th, and 92d, from their present sultry stations in the Mediterranean to their destined quar ters in the western hemisphere has proved the means of im proving their physical and mental energies, and rendering them equal to an efficient discharge cf their respective duties. The rotation system is no doubt coesidered, by its origina tors and supporters, to be a most excellent and admirable mode of relief; but, until it undergoes considerable modifi cation and improvement, we must beg leave to express our dissent from the opinion. We subjoin the projected move ments, upon the correctness of which our readers may place the fullest reliance : PROPOSED MOVEMENTS OF CORPS TO THE MEDITERRANEAN. 19th regiment to Malta, and 30th to Corfu, to replace the two regiments which were withdrawn from the Mediterra nean to augment the troops in Canada. 42d regiment to relieve the 59th, at Corfu 33d, at Gibraltar 47th, at Malta. 2d bat. 60th, at Corfu Ist bat. rifle brigade 92d, at Malta, TO THE WEST INDIES. 33d regiment, from Gibraltar, to relieve 70th foot. 47th .. ..

The United Service Gazette, after denying the correctness of the account of the naval resources of England given in the Globe, pledges itself for the correctness of the following statement:— We have 76 sail of the line available for service afloat, of which '22 are in commission. Of the remaining 54, one-third at least require extensive repairs before they can be equipped for service, leaving about 36 for future• supply, a force, sup posing it to be fully equipped, little stronger than the Rus sian fleet in the Baltic. Of the 22 sail of the line, building and ordered to be built, there aro not above six so far advanced to completion as to be available within six months after a war might break out ; because the artificers of the dockyards would be first employed upon - the ships afloat, which would fully occupy their time and exerticnis for three months at least. The account would, therefore, stand thus : Guns. Afloat. Building. 120 110 ..... 1 2 104 92 90 84 2 or 3 half built, SO 1 78 72 - T0ta1.... 76 THE PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF SIR CHARLES ADAM TO THE COMMAND OF THE MEDITER RANEAN FLEET. (From the United Service Gazette.) the l n s h compliance a w s lt d l e i c h i i d s e o d w h n y repeatedly ie e t x o p t r i e i e s his 11s onr in-law, Sir Charles Adam, should succeed Sir Robert Stopford . e t hc in the command of the Mediterranean fleet, and the appoint ment was accordingly gazetted in the Admiralty organ at Portsmouth. The queen was destined to be his flag-ship, and Lord Edward Russell named as his flag-captain. All the preliminaries were adjusted as pleasantly and as snugly as family arrangements usually are ; when, 10, forth comes a broadside from the Standard, that knocks the family com pact all to smithereens, and compels the First Lord to send a paragraph to the Globe , to intimate that the thing is "no go." The n o ti on of hoisting a junior vice-admiral (no chicken, nevertheless), over the whole list of admirals, 40 vice -admirals, his seniors in that rank, was one which our uncompromising contemporary could not swallow, and it accordingly upset the job without compunction; arguing, that as, the selection had not fallen upon Sir Charles, on ac count of any past services he had ever been known to achieve, and as the usual apology of Lord Minto, that the infusion of young blood into the service was desirable, would not avail him as an excuse for the appointnient of Sir Charles Adam, who must be upwards of 60 years of age, he ought to give up the matter as a bad job, advice which he appears to have received in good part. With the Standard, we have no wish to disparage the professional character of Sir Charles Adam, w h o is, we believe, an excellent officer, and a worthy man. But the question which such an appointment would involve, would be one of comparative merit and rank in the service : a test which, without meaning any disrespect to him, Sir Charles Adam could not stand a moment. GRATITU DE.—A few days past some children were playing at the bottom of an old dri ed-u p well, at a small villa g e in the department of the Rhone. They amused themselves by stirring up the rubbish at the bottom, and discovered a large iron chest, completely eaten up with rust. One of them was immediately despatched in search of a strong cord, and the chest was borne in triumph to the owner of the well. On being forced open it was found to contain an immense heap of gold coins of the three reigns which preceded the revolu tion of 1789, and also several bundles of family papers. The proprietor thanked the children for their discovery, but ad ded that he should apply to their parents for some indemnity for the cord, which they had materially damaged in their efforts to draw up the iron chest. MISCELLANEOUS A morning contemporary states that General Count Orloff has been appointed by the,Emperor Nicholas to the post of commander-in-chief of the armies now collected in the southern provinces of the Russian empire and the shores of the Black Sea. Count Orloff was the negotiator of the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. We have the gratification to announce that Sir J. Guest, Bart., M.P. for Merthyr, has been pleased to give the mu nificent sum of £250 towards the subscriptioi for the new church.—Merthyr. Guardian. At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Brandling Junction Railway, held yesterday at Gateshead, a dividend of £3 per cent. upon the half-year was declared, and a considerable sum carried over to the next account. — Newcastle Journal. The convict, Archibald Bolam, of Savings Bank murder notoriety, arrived safe at Sydney, New South Wales, in the early part of the present year. It is stated that he acted as schoolmaster and chaplain to his brother convicts, on the voyage out.—Newcastle Journal. It was recently announced at the meeting of a convocation, •ealling themselves " The Stockport Radical Association," and occupying a factory room in Bomber's Brow, that the gross receipts of the committee, after one night's sitting of three hours, for the especial purPose of receiving subscrip tions, amounted to the sum of twopence. It is said that the Admiralty intend in all future contracts with private companies for steamers to carry the mails, &c., to insert conditions that the vessels shall be built to receive guns and a war armament, which, however, are not required to be always on board in time of peace, but to be kept in readiness for service, to save time, should events render it necessary to convert them into war steamers. On Friday last Winkleigh and the neighbourhood were visited by one of the most tremendous thunder storms ever witnessed. A poor boy, named Simon Down, who was living with his uncle, was at work with a horse in the field, when the electric fluid struck both him and the horse dead on the spot. His uncle, who was within ten yards of the boy when the accident occurred, escaped uninjured.—Western Luminary. Tun MURDER or MR. TEMPLEMAN.—It has been de cided upon within the last day or two that the £2OO reward, which was offered by government for the discovery of the murderer of the late Mr. Templeman, is to be distributed in the following manner :—Sergeant Otway, of the A division, is to have 4100 - Inspector ,Miller, of the N £ 5O ; and the remainder is to be divided amongst other witnesses, seven or eight in number. At the Gloucestershire Assizes, on Friday last, the trial of William Bowen, for the murder and robbery of Mr. Yar worth, of Pift''s Elm, was again postponed to the next assizes, in consequence of the absence, from indisposition, of a mate rial witness for the prosecution. At the inquest held on the body, after the decease of Mr..Yarworth, a verdict of " wil ful murder" was returned, gainst the prisoner, and the grand jury have also found a true bill against him for the same offence. Sir Robert Peel, Nart., M.P., returned to Drayton Manor on Thursday week, from a visit to the Duke of Rutland at Longshawe, Derbyshire. A select party was invited by his Grace to meet the right hon. baronet, who, of all the na tional sports of this country, alone finds amusement in his gun. As most of our readers are aware, Sir Robert is a first rate shot, and made, during his visit to Longshawe, great havoc among the feathery tribe. Lady and Miss Peel did not go with the right lion. baronet. It was with no light concern the clergy heard the Bishop St. Asaph announce in his late charge, that in all probability that would be the last time he should have to address them. The loss they should all sustain in that case came mourn fully upon them,—the loss of so much hospitality, benefi cence, and that needful advice which hitherto they have en joyed so abundantly ; and above all, that patronage of merit and long service which the aged curate has so often expe rienced at his lordship's hands.—Chester Courant. As the quick train which left Carlisle at nine o'clock in the morning, on Wednesday last, was proceeding on its way to Newcastle, when near the Four Stones station, between Haydon Bridge and Hexham, one of the axles of a waggon loaded with luggage broke, in consequence of which the train was thrown off the rails, and a man in the dress of a sailor had his thigh fractured, and another person his shoulder dis located. After a short delay, the passengers were taken on to Newcastle.—Carlisle Patriot. TRE LATE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.—This distinguished prelate, whose death we announced yesterday, died on Thurs day last at Breadstairs, after a short illness, at the advanced age of 72 years. The right rev. divine had not been in the best of health some months ; but during the whole of the late parliamentary session was able to attend in the House of Lords. As a scholar he had few equals. Early in his career, he became tutor to the sons Of the late Sir Samuel Romilly, through the interest of whose family and connections, aided by his own talents, it is supposed much of his prosperity was owing. He was appointed the first principal of King's Col lege, London, where his biblical knowledge and excellent su perintendence of that seminary of learning were productive of the most beneficial effects. While holding that high and responsible office, he was earnest in his endeavours for its success, and untiring in promoting its exalted objects. From that station he was, in 1836, called to one still higher and more honoured, being then nominated Bishop of Chichester ; and, though little more than three years have elapsed since his appointment, numbers will remember his performance of its duties with affectionate regret and sincere respect for his superior character as a scholar and a Christian.—Standard. COACH ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Waterwitch coach left Bradford, for Leeds, having its full complement of 12 outside.passengers, including the driver, Joseph Shires, and a lady and a gentleman inside. All went on right till within 100 yards of the Fleece Inn, in Stanningley, when suddenly, without any assignable cause, the pin by which the body of the coach is fastened to the forewheels, slipped from its- place ; and the consequence was, that the horses, going at the usual pace of about ten miles an hour, went forward with the forewheels, and the coach pitched forward, throwing the passengers in all directions, every one of whom was more or less injured, but happily none mortally. The driver, Shires, and a commercial gen tleman who sat on the box with him, were the most seriously injured. The former is now lying at his lodgings in Brad ford very ill, having been pitched upon his head, and the latter is lying at the Scarborough Hotel in Leeds.—Manchester Guardian. BooLooNE.—li meeting of the British residents of Boulogne has been held in that town, Lord Oranmore (lately Mr. Dominick Browne) in the c hair, for the purpose of voting an address of congratulation to the King of the French, on the occasion of his recent visit to Boulogne. The Earl of Coventry addressed the meeting in a powerful and pleasing manner, and speaking o f the King said, th a t if it w e r e pos sible that there could be a single dissentient voice at the meeting, it would g i ve wa y, if the indi v id ua l cou ld k now a ll that he (the Earl of Coventry) knew of the excellence of that sovereign, with whom he had been acquainted when he was in adversity The address which follows was unanimously agreed to :—" We, the English residents and visiters of Boulogne, beg to offer to your Majesty our respectful and heartfelt congratulations on your visit to this city, and to assure your Majesty that the want of information of your Majesty's intended levee alone prevented our having the honour of personally conveying them to your Majesty on the occasion. We also offer the same congratulations, and our best feelings of respect to your gracious majesty and other members of your august family. We respectfully thank your majesty for your kind solicitude expressed for our welfare. We hope your majesty may long live to reign over a gallant and generous people. We trust the friendly relations that have so.long existed between your majesty's government and our own country may not be weakened, and we beg in true earnestness of feeling to address to your majesty our own British acclamation, of " God save the King DEPARTURE OF THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BEL GIANS.—On Monday morning, at ten minutes past seven o'clock, their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians and suite arrived at the Dock Yard, Woolwich, in two of the royal carriages; the early hour of their departure from Windsor (four o'clock in the morning) having prevented their being attended by any of the Queen of England's household. The Widgeon steam-vessel, Master Commander J. Hamilton, was in waiting to receive the royal party, and they imme diately embarked, the signal being given by a royal salute from the field batteries of the royal artillery stationed in the Dock yard, under the command of Captain Mee. In con sequence of the band of the King's royal rifles being required to march a division of the troops from the garrison to the steam-boats, at eight o'clock, on their way to Windsor, a company of the royal artillery, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Cruttenden, and the excellent band of that regiment. formed the guard of honour. The tide being scarcely high enough at the time of their Majesties' arrival to float the vessel, the band, led by Mr. Mackenzie, performed for half an hour, until she was able to proceed, some of the finest airs. The King and Queen of the Belgians remained on the deck during the whole time, to the delight of a great number of persons who had assembled at that early hour for the pur pose of witnessing their departure. When the vessel sailed the spectators gave three cheers, which the King acknowledged by taking off his hat several times. The royal flag of Bel gium was hoisted in the Dock-yard, and the national flag of Belgium on her Majesty's vessels in the river. His Majesty was very plainly dressed, with a white hat on, and api• Jared very fatigued and having the expression of a care-worn countenance. A WOMAN WITH FOUR HUSBANDS.—A female, appa rently about 35 years of age, by' no means remarkable for her personal charms, was brought up at the Borough Court, on Monday last, under the following extraordinary circum stances .—lnspector Bibby stated, that on Thursday evening the prisoner went to the Hulme barracks, and left her child, which was only about four months old, on one of the beds ; for which he had apprehended her on Saturday night last. The inspector produced the child, which was in a shocking state of emaciation, and excited the commiseration of the whole court.—Mr. Scott, the relieving officer for Chorlton on-Medlock, said, she claimed Richard German, a private in the artillery, as her husband ; that she was very poor, and lie believed left the child for him to keep; rut, as German had discovered that she had three other husbands living, he refused to have anything to do either with the child or her. Bibby produced two marriage certificates found on the pri soner, and said he believed all the marriages had been cele brated at Gretna Green. The first took place in 1836, and two of the others since 1838.—German, the fourth husband, was then sworn. He stated that he was married to the pri soner in December, 1839, and the child was born in April, 1840, on which account he refused to live with her any longer. —Bibby said the third husband was in court, and wanted to take her to live with him.—A Irian, having the appearance of a workman, then came forward, and said his name was Richardson ; that he was the third husband •, and that he was willing to take the prisoner, and provide for her as his wife.—Mr. Maude asked, if there was any probability of proving the first marriage, and Bibby said he,did not think there was.—ln her defence, the prisoner said she left the (AU in the barracks, and did not intend to desert it; and that she did not marry the second time till she heard that the first husband was dead.—She was then ordered to stand down for a short time ; and, on being put up again, Mr. Scott said she refused to go with her third husband, and said she would rather suffer anything.—She was then dis charged, after a suitable admonition from Mr. Maude; and Mr. Scott said he should pass her to Carlisle, where her father lived, and take care that the child was provided for.— Manchester Guardian. DAGUERROTYPE, OR PHOTOGRAPHIC MINIATHREs.— The public generally is fully aware of the splendid photoge nic effects produced, by aid of the camera, by M. Daguerre. A novelty on similar principles - has recently been introduced into the metropolis. The inventor, a Mr. Alexander S. Wolcott, of New 'York, has obtained a patent for it in his native country ; and the grounds of his claim to that privi lege are stated by himself to be, " that he has discovered the means of taking likenesses from, life by the aid of a concave reflector, so placed as to receive the rays from the person whose likeness is to be taken, and convey them to a focus on a prepared plate placed between the person and the reflec tor." Mr. Wolcott, conjointly w ith Mr. Beard, an English man, has secured a patent for his invention for Great Britain ; and, within the last few days, the patentees have commenced their experiments at the Medical Hall, 138, Holborn, adjoin ing Furnival's Inn. To M. Daguerre belongs the credit of the originality of the invention, so far as the preparation and silvering of the plate is concerned ; but Mr. 'Wolcott also claims, and we believe is entitled to, the honour of adapting the substitution of reflectors for the camera, and thus reducing the length of the sitting to the short space of four or five mi nutes. Some of the specimen miniatures were submitted to our notice, which, though somewhat imperfect in the details, were perfect fac similes of the features of the original., The patentees have, however, scarcely completed their arrange ments ; and there is but little doubt, that when in perfect order, the novelty will become generally attractive.—Timet.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 27 The sales to-day are 3,000 bags, with a very quiet market. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AUG. 27 There is less animation in the Butter trade, but prices are steadily upheld, and a pretty general opinion obtains that a considerable advance will take place ere long. Pickled Butter selling at pus, but 92s generally demanded. Beef continues much as reported in our last ; whilst for Pork, an extensive enquiry is on foot, we be. lieve for the West Indies. The currency is very firm. Bacon is a free sale, arid stocks ►ouch reduced. LIVERPOOLSORN. MARKET, AUGUST The imports since Tuesday last from Ireland have again been quite trivial, and of Wheat and Flower from foreign ports, they have been only to a moderate extent. Although the first part of the past week, as noticed in our last circular, was very rainy and unfavourable for the crops of grain, we have had fine weather ever since, and further than Impeding the progress of Harvest, now generally commenced throughout this district, it is believed that no great injury has as yet been sus tained. Our market has continued pretty steady for Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal during the past week, but a small reduction was submit ted to in some instances on free wheat, flour and oats. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports was, as anticipated, re duced on Friday last 4s per quarter, say 6s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 45 per barrel, and on Oats to 35 3d per quarter ; but in. creased to 12s 4d per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn and Buck Wheat; with Out alteration on Rye, Beans and Pease; it appears now very likely, that on Friday the 4th September, the duty on Wheat will be further reduced to 2s 8d per quarter, and Is lid per barrel on Flour, which prospect helps to cause a small depression on Free Wheat and Flour, and a small increase in the value of those articles in bond, at which several considerable parcels have recently changed hands, and this will prevent the release for home use of bonded Wheat and Flour for another week oz two. At this day's market, owing to the continuance of favourable weater and the decline in London yesterday, we experienced very dull sales for all kinds of free Grain, at a decline of about Is to 2s per quarter, and of is to is 6d pe: barrel on Flour, and on Oatmeal per 2401 b ; of bonded Grain and Flour we can hardly alter quota tions.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 26 The supply of stock to-day was rather better than that for the last fortnight. This, with the inability of the working classes to purchase animal food to the general extent, caused a rather heavy market ; and though the best beef, mutton, and lamb was not quotably lower, the trade was dull, and rather easier to buy, whilst inferior qualities must be noted as very heavy sale, and id per lb lower. A quantity of stock remained unsold. Best beef, 6d to 6} ; middling, 5d to 51d, ; best mutton, 6fd to 7d ; ewes and middling, sid to sit. Best lamb, 6fd to 7d; inferior, 6d to 6fd per lb. sinking the offal. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
