Mr. 'Hughes urged the desiralsility of making as frequent •draughts as possible of ,children from the workhouse to • the Industrial Schools, both for their own sakes, and for the ! 'greater facilities afforded there of getting them off their . hands.—A communication from the Poor-law Board was 'read, stating that they did not -think the act would sup port the appointment recently made of Mr. Wylie, as per maneskt surveyor, but that they did not feel it incumbent upon them to act further in the mottec.—A letter was read from Mr. Eddowes, the resident assistant medical-officer, i resigning his situation. He complained that, in addition to the onerous duties which he discharged before, he and the new ,assistant were required in future to prepare all medicines for the patients. Nor was •these a single provi sion made ;to protect the assistant from Swing made the slave of the nut-door surgeon. All that the out-door medical officer had to do was merely to show himself in the war& ,daily, ask his assistant if the patients were doing well, and thus go through the wards, always taking care not to pass out of the workhouse through the porter's gate till he had remained a reasonable time in the building, which time would be recorded in the porter's book, to be laid be fore the workhouse committee. Mr. Eddowes then nom complained of the room assigned for the residence of the surgeon in the workhouse. They were in the very centre of the fever hospital ; and the consequence was, that during two years he had had the fever not less than three times. " After attending," continued Mr. Eddowes, " to the multitude of patients which fall to his share, prescribing, dressing, and dispensing,—the mind har rassed and the body fatigued,--the surgeon must feel pleased that a thoughtful Vestry has so far attended o t nta t to ehn ged histmh that r iot c s n ti • tkmh o ppo rtu n itydi drinking, osoyomorasfasniciwnt sleeping ihuthiephru ga v r i — d efe e a dan gero us va llelArol part oget oftwhether mhtrhimen resting-placehue g iv embeindit he eat ing, in f: parochial forethought and affection." M o r mer said he thought it would have been far more be coining in Mr. Eddowes if he h a d quietly sent in his resignation, than to have endeavoured to cast i re flections upon the committee or upon th e board. S uee he was assistant medical officer in the h ouse, t h e cost of the medicines administered in the Workhouse amounted to the enormous sum of £lOOO a year. The rooms corn. plained of had been occupied by various surgeons of the house for the last ten years.

I did not know the .informant, but he was an officer ~rho was on the Lime street-beat. He had, he said, done 41i that was in his powerin the case. Magistrate : You must -recollect that the character of •at_ officer is of too umehimportance to be dealt lightly with. If you had any such Instructions, you should have taken pains to ascertain that there were grounds to rest them' Wybergh. said Mr. Pope had had every oppor *unity of explanung.—Mr.7ope : I tried to bring the man !here.—After a remark from Mr. Clough, the magistrate .said that it was a matter of -too much importance that the p a re s hould be accused of any thing unjustly, and with out the slightest grounds, without being noticed. In the present case Mr. Pope had had an opportunity of bringing forward the officer he had named, and, under the cir - stances, he declined to hear him in the court. The case then proceeded, and the prisoners *being asked what they had to -say, Mr. Pope rose and said, " I appear."—The Magistrate : I cannot hear you. —Mr. Pope : I und ers t an d you, and must make an application elsewhere. The prisoners -were remanded for seven days. When the prisoners were being taken away Mr. Pope again rose, and addressing 'himself to the magistrate, said, "Probably' sir, I may ask for your name."—The IlLagistrate : My , name is Hamilton.—Mr. Pope : Because it is a most un justifiableinterference as regardsme. Hethenleft the court. A somewhat. similar occurrence took place in the Police court, on the fallowing day, when Mr. Pope again ap peared. In this case he defended John Banks, charged with an assault upon Harriett Ann Hopkins. On pro ceeding to state that his client was charged here with an assault; for which damages were sought to be recovered in the County Court, he was told by the magistrate that he could not be heard. Mr. Pope referred Mr. Wybergh to a. section in an act of parliament, which he (Mr. Pope) said bore upon the point. Mr. Wybergh declined to offer an opinion ; but stated that he had, on a previous day, advised the magistrate that Mr. Pope could not be heard, and he would repeat that advice to whatever magistr a t e might preside. It was, he said, in consequence of an im. propriety, on the part cf Mr. Pope, that he had felt him self called on so to act. Mr. Pope was about to make some further observations, when Mr. Smith, the magisfrate, said he could not hear him. Mr. Pope! Then I shall make an application to Mr. Justice 1% ightman. Mr. Smith : If I am compelled to hear you, I will do so, but not otherwise. Mr. Wybergh said he had advised the magistrates as to the course they should pursue. Mr. Smith observed that Mr. Pope had made an accusation against a respectable police officer, and when asked for his authority he said he could produce it, but had never done so. Mr. Pope thought the magistrate would probably understand him better afterwards ; he considered he was bound to hear him as an advocate. - The magistrate in quired the nature of the case. Mr.. Pope said it was an assault, and the refusal to hear him 6eelAg4 to be an attempt to defeat the ends of justice. others. the offieA. COMMERCIAL ADVI TH STAFFORDSII tatibrds ected without opposition.

The evening previous the cap tain sighted Bombay, but soon afterwards the weather set in thick, with rain, and- heavy squalls blowing on the land, amid which the ship gotler rudder unshipped, and, in consequence, became unmanageable. The passengers ascertaining the perilous positidn of the vessel, and that she was driving ashore, became frantic, and attempted to escape by theloats. The attempt, as may be imagined, proved fatal. A tremendous rash instantly capsized them, and at least 60 perished. The destruction of the vessel soon followed. 'Shortly after midnight she struck, and 'the next moment her masts, with at least 100 of the un happy creatures clinging to the rigging, gave way and fell overboard. "The occupants were either crushed to death or perished by . drowning. In the course of a few hours the vessel entirely broke up, and the whole of the re maining passengers anitcrew were plunged in among the breake, Great sacrifice of life followed. Out of the i5O soulsvotho were alive on the night previous, all, with the exception of 94, perished. The 94 survivors were washed ashore 'on fragments of the wreck.

Walker mid, Co., oil merchants .and seed crud/ors, and are situate at"the,-end of Snaresbrotik-s than a gmarter, ,of a mile item the Dover terminus: The premises were, of great magnitude, and comprised sundry compartments, ,among which were stores for 411, ware 'houses for depositing the rarix,' us kinds of oil sees, press &c. Each compartment of the building was stored with goods of great value, widte the mills and warehouses contained some -,tlsousand posse s' worth of Aeedsand oil- =lces. The fire ;was discovered by a soldier , of the Rifle Brigade, who inpassing the sill perceived smoke iii dense bodies hovering over the scathreast side of the 'remises. Ats,istance promptly arrived, a:mi an attempt was -made to ccniflne the flarnes , to that partAof the mills then on fire, but unfortunately ..without succees. Fire e ,gines were speedily brought to -the spot, and a telegraphic message was 'Forwarded to London, requesting the aid of the fire brigade and engines. These proceeded to the scene of the -conflagration which. they -reached is&about two hours and twenty minutes after cleaving Lon&n. The engines-be longing to the barracks, the Royal Artillery, the Com missionfrs of Pavement., and the Sor.h-Eastern Railway Company, and the soldiers of the ttith Regiment, the Rifle Brigade, and the two companies (of the .Royal Artil lery were all on the spot. The soldiers were regularly relieved every two hours ; and twenty -five were kept on - each engine, and a similar number ,kept in reserve to supply their place as they became e;:hausted. The soldiers tore down 'several small baildiags, and had not this Wen done the flumes would:Lave travelled much further. Even with 111:u1 precaution, the mate rials of the buildings thus razed . became:ignited. The main body of tre continued to rage during the whole of Sunday night :and Monday morning, and was far from being entirely a.ctinguished at Amu ( fin Monday While the firemen wexe Actively employed a most fearful accident took place. 11 1 . r. Birbe4, a, gentle nan.ctnnected witll the South-Eastern Rallwayfjompany, Was'husily engaged directing the men ;Intl - large of cthe rail way engines, when some of the firemen shouted out for all to 'escape; as the cliff' was falling. Mr..

The amount of -chi& from the cliff that fell was nearly 50 feet 'high, 40 feet wide, and something like 64 feet deep, and it is estimated at 1,500 tons weight. SOMe time must elapse before it ,ean be clearly a.seertained .whether any lives have been Sost ; but it is stated that several persons are missing, and that they were seen near the place where the fail occurred. The loss that Messrs. Walker will sustain, it is said, will approach £40,000 or £50000.. The premises in which the disaster commenced covered an area of ground exceeding three-quarters of an acre. The buildings were filled with seeds or oils, roughly valued at nearly £OO,OOO, and it is thought exceedingly questionable if the salvage will amount to £O,OOO. The machinery used on the premises was also of great value, and was worked by steam power, there being two engines in the place from 25 to 30 horses' power each, but t the whole of it has been reduced to a mis-shapen mass by h fury of the fire. A stock of oil and some other good s e e stored in vaults dug out of the cliff have been saved. the insurance offices interested in the loss are statedl to tt b ared obe Atlas, the Alliance, the Norwich U nion, the C West of England. • INTERESTING FACT.—The following si ngularrl an o d f a o u t t , l s i e e r n r t a ic . case of restoration of the human hair is w r o t r iel i ;of high and tion, more particularly as it relates to an u a ry .fo. bald fo r A.

Upwards of 17,000 head of live cattle of various kinds were imported in the week into the port of London from foreign states, comprising nearly 12,000 sheep, which alone equal the number of what have usually been the largest supplies of the whole quantity of stock of every kind in the time from abroad on previous occasions. Several hundred head of oxen and cows, and a large number of calves and lambs, completed the whole quantity brought on this or anion, which, we believe, exceeds by several hundreds any former supply of the kind from abroad. As usual, the principal portion of these importations was from Holland, the re mainder being from the Hanseatic States, and, to a small extent, from Belgium, and they must have formed an im portant portion of the supplies to the metropolitan market p from the hateve' Norton bec ice my children to my husban ient my lispute with my Lord M ,urne w Norton did says he did. 2 syllable .odneed Lord Mel, and alk,-o by his withhai; uv ~gauist rd He threw the blame t Wynford, and the I.
