TIIE TOWER AND SPIRE OF ST. DUNSTAN'S, TOWER•
STREET.—There is a tradition that the plan of the tower
and spire, suggested by St. Nicholas, at Newcastle, was
furnished by the daughter of the great City architect—
Jane Wren, who died in 1702, aged 26, and was buried
under the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral. And if female
talent was thus enlisted in the production of the airy
spire before us, female benevolence was not wanting in
the completion of the structure. To the honour of Lady
l)ionysia Williamson's memory be it told, that she, iu
1670, gave 4,0001. (an enormous sum in those days) to-
wards the building. On the occasion of the dreadful
storm which raged in London through the night of the
26th November, 1703, until the morning, Wren, on
hearing that some of the steeples and pinnacles in the
City had suffered serious injury, observed that he felt
sure of finding St. Dunstan's tower and spire secure.—
Builder.

NEW QUARTER SESSIONS ACT.—To-morrow, the
Ist November, the new Act to amend the procedure in
courts of general and quarter sessions of the peace in
England ana Wales, and for the better advancement of
justice in cases within the jurisdiction of those courts,
will come into force. Its object is to make the law in
cases of appeal to quarter-sessions more uniform. This
Act will avoid technicalities, and establish one practice
throughout England and Wales. It will also establish
uniformity of time (at least fourteen days) in notices of
appeals allowed by the Act. The grounds of appeal
must be stated in writing, which statements can after-
wards be amended. Sessions bare now a general power
to give costs in all cases of appeal; and, to prevent fri-
volous appeals, ccs:s may also to awarded after notice,
although an appeal be not prosecuted. By this statute
power is given, after notice of appeal, by consent of the
parties, and by order oF a judge (without going to the
sessions), to s'tate the facts of a case in the form of a
special case, for the opinion of a superior court, and the
judgment of the same to b 3 entered at the sessions.
With the view of enforcing orders of sessions, it is pro-
vided by this Act, that prccuedings may be removed
into the Queen's re! el, and be enforced as a rule of
that court, and all the reasonable costs attendant upon
such Lppl;caiion shall be recovered as if the same were
part cf the order. This Act does not extend to all
aTimils, and further improvements on the same subject
are expected in the next seal( n. The Bill was framed
by Mr. Baines, the President of the Poor-law Board; it
is now a statute of the United Kingdom.
SANITARY PRECAUTION.—Toe burial ground of
the district church of Christ Church, Westminster, re-
cently closed by order of the General Board of Health,
was yesterday covered with quick line to the depth of
three inches, with the view of counteracting any offen-
sive odours arising therefrom.

In one of the compartments, on the second tier,
was stationed the band of the Horse Guards, which
during the morning enlivened the tedium consequent
upon waiting by many beautiful airs.
In the different recesses attached to each tier, in-
tended for the exhibition of specimens of the different
kinds of coal, an excellent cold collation had been
laid for the visitors, who had strict injunctions given
to them not to eat or sup until the Prince had passed
into his shallop—a request we may, perhaps unne-
cessarily, observe. that was most religiously complied
with.

In one of the recesses attached to the floor,
shrouded from the public gaze by a gauze
curtain, a banquet of regal splendour had
been prepared for the royal party, and with
respect to the feast and its decorations, the following
particulars will be interesting:—

Of the wines we may remark that the sherry
placed on the royal table was of the same vintage and

age as was sent to Lord Nelson when on board the
Victory, a week previous to the celebrated battle of

Trafalgar.

There was algO some exquisite pale

sherry, forty years old.

The wine for the Prince of Wales was a peculiar
Paxarete, and is part of the wine presented to the
younger branches of the Royal Family in Spain last

month, on their visit to the vineyards of M. Domecq

,o witness the process of making the wines.

The hock was from the Johannisberg vineyards,
probably the last of the class—as it has long ceased,
we were told, to be quoted amongst the wines now
obtainable from Prince Metternich's stores.
The wine-glasses, which were made for the °cu.-
sion, were of the shape of the delicate blossom of the
abutolon atriatum ; and the leaves and flowers en-
graved on the bowl formed a wreath round the Royal
Crown and City arms. The napkins were of exqui-
site damask, embroidered with the arms of the city
of London, and edged with co,tly antique point lace,
The doyleys were of royal purple velvet, with
emblematical embroidery, and trimmed with gold
lace.

The dessert plates; which were completed in an
incredibly short space of time, were painted in corn-

partrnents with the royal crown, the Prince of Wales's
feathers, with the words "Ich Bien," and represent
_ .. ..

ng fossil remains as found in coal stratum..

The whole of the service at the royal table was
of superb gold. The dessert knives were particularly
bQautifful and elegant.
The bills of fare were printed on white satin, and
were of beautiful execution and design, from De la
Rue's establishment.

The whole of the gorgeous display was ar-
ranged by the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, and re-
flected the highest credit on their taste and judgment.
The embellishments of the Coal Exchange yester-
day, on the occasion of the Prince Consul t's visit to
the City, included a beautiful bust of our gracious
Queen, executed by that very eminent artist, J. E.
Jones, Esq. It was placed at the entrance to her
Majesty's room, and attracted general admiration.
It reflects the highest credit on the chaste and classic
taste and artistic ability of Mr. Jones.

At twenty minutes to 1 o'clock the trumpets of the
Heralds and the applause without annoanced the
arrival of the Royal pageant.

First entered the Sheriffs in their state robes, the
Aldermen who have not passed the chair, the Lord
Mayor alto in his state robes, bearing the City
sword, and immediately after his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, attired as a Field-Marshal, and
leading the Prince of Wales and the Princess

Royal by either haad. The applause at this in-
teresting point echoed and re echoed through-
out the Luilding. The Prince advanced towards the

throne, followed by the officers of State and the
members of the household, among whom we observed
the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Lyttelton, k,ord John

Russell, Sir George Grey, the Marquis of Breadal-
bane, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Paget, the
Marquis of Angleey, Lord Marcus Hill, Earl of
Fortescue, the Fitst Lord of the Admilalty, Admiral
(
Dundas, Mr. Parker, Mr. Hawes, &C. all in official
costume).

The Prince of Wales was attired in a blue sailor's
jacket and a white waistcoat and trousers, with a
turned-over collar. The young Prince looked extremely
well, and as much like a juvenile sailor as the most
fastidious admiral in the fleet could wish.
The Princess Royal wore a black velvet visite, a
light striped green silk dress, and a light pink satin
bonnet.

As soon as the company had taken their places, the
Lord Mayor, who wore a splendid dress and a magni-
ficent robe of crimson velvet, advanced with the Re-
corder towards Prince Albert, who stood in front of
the throne, having one of the Royal children
.on each

The Lord Mayor then introduced Mr. Wood, the
mover, and Mr. Adkins, the seconder of the address,
with whom the Prince was pleased to converse; then
the Sheriffs, and Mr. Bunning, the architect of the
building. The Prince, with the young Prince and
Princess, retired to an ante-room on. the first tier,
where a number of City celebrities 'were introduced
to the Prince and the royal children. The little Prince,
we may remark, seemed quite to enter into the
spirit and commotion of the scene—the Princess Royal
seemed a little abashed. Both on their arrival shook
hands with their uncle the Duke of Cambridge, and
when the Prince bad replied, he went up to the Duke
of Wellington, and shook him heartily by the hand.
During the absence of the royal guests the carpet
was removed from the floor, in order that the flooring,
which is of polished oak tastefully fashioned, might be
exhibited. It contains no less than 4,000 pieces of
various kinds and qualities, namely, black ebony,
black oak, and common red English oak, white holly,
mahogany, American elm, red and white walnut, and
mulberry. The wood has undergone the patent
dessicating process, by Messrs. Davidson and Sym-
ington. The work was much admired.

-After a lapse of some few minutes, the Prince again
appeared, and proceeded with the Lord Mayor and
Lady Mayoress into the apartment set apart for his
reception, where he partook of the splendid luncheon
provided for him. The royal children were entertained
in another apartment abutting from the first tier.
The parties at the several tables then began to break
up. Lord J. Russell and Sir R. Peel came together
into the open area. They stood next to each other for
about five minutes, Lord J. Russell occasionally con-
versing with Mr. Goulburn, and Sir R. Peel with
another gentleman. Some of the company were
amused at observing that when the Premier and the
ex-Premier had stood for a full minute next to each
other without speaking either to one another or to
any cne else, and both looking very grave, or, as it
might seem to many, somewhat stern, one of the
Gentlemen.at- Arms who was behind them, finding
himself in the way of the company, stepped forward
and stood with his halbert between the two illustrious
statesmen.

By desire of Prince Albert, Mr. Wood then brought
the royal children down from the retiring rooms, and
conducted them to the Prince's table. His Royal
Highness rose and led them forward into the body
of the hall, where they were received with great
cheering.

The visitors began to leave as they concluded their
repasts, and the hall rapidly thinned. Many of the
citizens, however, entertained themselves for some
time with a dance in the noble area, and seemed
rather unwilling to let the dusk terminate their
amusement.

Shortly before three o'clock, Prince Albert, ac-
companied by the Prince of Wales and Princess
Royal, and attended as before by the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, and civic authorities, returned from the
Exchange to the pavilion, where they were received
with the usual honours, the troops presenting arms
and the bands playing the National Anthem. The
royal party were accompanied to the place of em-
barkation by most of the noble and distinguished
individuals who had been present at the ceremony,
and were loudly cheered in their progress along the
gallery, and as they descended the gangway leading
to the Fairy yacht.
As Prince Albert stepped on beard he turned
round and expressed to the Lord Mayor and Mr.
Wood his gratification at the mode in which the pro-
ceedings had been conducted; the Prince added, ad-
dressing the royal children,—"Remember, you are
indebted to the Lord Mayor for one of the happiest
days of your lives."
The royal yacht lost not a moment in returning to
Whitehall-stairs with the Prince and the royal chil-
dren, and so little time was occupied that the Palace
was reached at half-past three o'clock, and at ten
minutes past four his Royal Highness took his de-
parture for Windsor by the Great Western Railway.
The return by the Fairy took the crowds collected on
the banks of the river completely by surprise. Yet,
notwithstanding this disappointment and other-draw-
backs—of which her Majesty's inability to take part
in the proceedings had not been the least—the cere-
mony of opening the new Coal-Exchange yesterday
passed off with great eclat.
The Lord Mayor came forth, and with the per-
mission of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in
the name of the Queen, proposed the following
toasts, which were warmly responded to :—" The
health of our Most Gracious Majesty the Queen,"
" The health of the Queen Dowager," " The health of
his Royal Highncss Prince Albert, the Prince of
Wales, the Princess Royal, and the rest of the Royal
Family," " Prosperity to the City of London."
His Royal Highness led in the lady of the French
Ambassador, and placed her on his right band. The
Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Mecklenburg
Strelitz, the Turkish Ambassador, and the French
Ambassador, sat on the other side of the table, and
the Prince invited the Lady Mayoress to take her
place opposite to them. The Lord Mayor remained
standing for a few moments by the side of Prince
Albert, apparently to receive the commands of his
Royal Highness, who was regarded as representing
her Majesty, but the Prince desired his Lordship to
join the distinguished party, taking his place between
the lady of the French Ambassador and the Lady
Mayoress.
The following is the bill of fare at the Prince's
table:—

ENGINEERS' MASONIC and UNIVERSAL
MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.
The directors entertained last evening at the
Freemasons' Tavern the members and friends of this
society to what they were modestly pleased to call an
early supper. 11r. Dobson, the chairman of the
company, presided on the occasion. After the usual
toasts had been duly honoured, in adverting to the
prospects of the society, the Chairman mentioned
that since the formation of the society, on the 7th
June, 1848, it had received no less than 8851.1iroposals
for policies. Of these, 75 had been declined, 54 were
under consideration, and 760 had been completed.
The annual income of the society thus amounted to
6,9372. This in so short a time was matter for warm
congratulation, and he• felt that the society had only
to persevere to attain a degree of success that was
unprecedented in the annals of life assurance. The
Rev. :Mr. Watson, as a member of the directorate, felt
no hesitation in saying that the society which they
were met that evening to promote was deserving of
his countenance as a minister of religion. Dr. George
Johnston, in adverting to the late visitation of the
cholera, remarked that it was a subject of congra-
tulation that, notwithstanding the appalling
epidemic with which they had been visited, the
number of deaths of the members of the society
had been under an average. This he attributed
in some degree to the circumstance that all diseases
had more or less their origin in mental influences,
and he could not but feel that the confidence and se-
renity of mind which the circumstance of having
effected, in any case, a provision for those whom they
leave behind them, had much to do in preventing or
overcoming the attacks with which cholera or other
epidemics might render it necessary for them to con-
tend. The Rev. Mr. Watson, in proposing the toast
of the officers of the society, remarked' that, having
been recently the vicar of a parish in Yorkshire, he
was frequently called upon to head a subscription for
a member of his parishioners who had lost a cow, for
cows, like men, would die.—(Laughter.) At length
a cow insurance society was established. It shortly
afterweirds happened that a parishioner lost his cow,
and he applied to his neighbours for relief. No, was
their rejoinder; you ought to have joined our cow
club, if you desired assistance. He might apply the
same principle to persons who failed to insure their
lives, and yet expected assistance from others. After
the expression of various similar sentiments, and
determinations to support the society in every prac-
tical manner, the company separated, evidently highly
gratified with the entertainment of the evening and
the state of the society.

IMMENSE TAKE OF FISH.—YARMOUTH, OCT. 27
During the last week both the Yarmouth and North o
England fishing boats which follow the shoals of her
rings, have put daily into this port and harbour laden
to a most extraordinary degree with fish of various kinds
—particularly herrings, soles, and codfish—the herring
boats each having from ten to twenty lasts (10,000 to the
last), or from 100,000 to 200,000 fish on board. So
many were there for sale on Friday and Saturday, that
the curers could not tOie half the quantity, although
they were offered, in some instances, for less than the
harbour dues ; they had, therefore, to be sold to huck-
sters at any price they could obtain, tens of thousands
being thrown overboard. Fresh herring at ls. per swill
of 500, some at even less ; slightly cured, known as
Yarmouth bloaters, at from ls. to ls. 6d. per hundred,
basket included, fine fish. Soles at 6d. per score,
weighing from lilb. to 2ilb. per pair, quite fresh. Cod-
fi Ai, weighing from 1016. to 121 b. each, for from 6d. to
91. per fish. Cart loads were taken to Norwich and
other large towns in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire,
and retailed on Saturday last as follows:—Fresh her-
rings, 10 for id.; bloaters, 25 for fid.; codfish, Id, per
lb.; and soles, at lid. to 2d. per pair.
USE OF COLOURED GLASSES TO ASSIST THE
VIEW IN Foos.—The following curious observation is
made by M. Luvini, of Turin, in a letter to the editor of
L'lnstitut, at Paris. If it be verified, it may prove to be
of importance to geodetical operations, as well as in ob-
servations at sea :—" When there is a fog between two
corresponding stations, so that the one station can with
difficutly be seen from the other, if the observer passes a
coloured glass between his eye and the eye-piece of his
telescope, the effect of the fog is very sensibly diminished,
so that frequently the signals from the other station can
be very plainly perceived, when, without the coloured
glass, the station itself could not be seen. The different
colours do not all produce this effect in the same degree.
The red seems the most proper for the experiment.
Those who have good sight prefer the dark red,
those who are short-sighted like light red better. The
explanation of this effect seems to depend upon' the
fact that the white colour of the fog strikes too power-
fully upon the organ of sight, especially if the glass have
a somewhat large field. On the contrary, by placing a
coloured glz.ss between the eye of the
observer and the
0) „•e of the instrument, the intensity of the light is'
Much diminished by the interception of a part of the

SMUGGLING IN SUSSEX.—Smuggling appears to
be reviving of late, whether through the revenue cruisers
being made off or the mounted guards disbanded, it
would be difficult to hazard a correect opinion. Perhaps,
however, the impetus has been given owing to the in-
creased demand since the cholera has made its appear-
anee. Two attempts to smuggle have recently been
made in Shoreham harbour, uud both have been frus-
trated by the tact and vigilance of the Shoreham coast
guard. On Thursday, the 18th inst., the smack John
and Mary, of Colchester, came into the harbour with
oysters. Sho bad OR board seventy-three tubs of spirits
of brandy, concealed under the oysters, all of which
w ere seized. The crew ware taken before the magis-
trates at S!eyning and remanded until Friday, the 26th
instant. The vessel seized is well found and copper
fastened. A French boat was discovered on the beach,
near Bracklesham-lane, parish of East Wittering, in
the Littlehampton district, on the morning of the 20th
instant, by the coast guard. She is supposed to have
landed a large cargo of contraband spirits, with which
the smugglers got clear off. Part of a bottle of French
wine was left in the boat.
MILITARY FLOGGING.—On Monday morning a pri-
vate belonging to the Royal Sappers and Miners, sta-
tioned at Woolwich, was punished with 50 lashes, in
accordance with the sentence of a court-martial, for
stealing a comrade's watch, and afterwards attempting to
dispose of the ticket. The man was afterwards taken to
the Royal Ordnance Hospital to have his wounds dressed.

FOREIGN HOPS.—Vire have occasion again, in con-
sequence of their extent and importance, to make allu•
sion to the importations of hops. It will be recollected
that it was recently mentioned that the importations
from the United States had much increased, and that the
supplies from Belgium (the only other foreign country
from which such supplies have taken place) had beeome
in some cases extended to upwards of 50 packages,
instead of, as before, to a tenth or a quarter of that
number. We have now to notice the arrival of the large
quantity of 119 bales of this article of merchandise from
Antwerp by the steim-vessel Director, the produce of
Belgium, 85 of which were consigned to different firms
in the metropolis, and 34 consigned to order. With
reference to this large importation, we nerd only further
remark that it is double the number of packages which
have been brought ou any former occasion from Belgium,
that it exceeds any. of the larger arrivals from the
United States of America, and is the largest importa•
tion of hops which has ever taken place from a foreign
country.
HEAVY RAIN IN THE PERTHSHIRE HIGHLANDS.
—Since the busking up of the severe frost by which
we were lately %isited we have had several days; of
uncommonly mild weedier for the season of the year • but
no rain of much consequence till Monday evening, when it
poured down in an uninterrupted torrent, which con-
tinued nearly during the whole of the night. The
rain must have been both heavy and general, for on
Tuesday morning the Tay, which had formerly been
diminished to an extremely low ebb, was much swollen,
and brown in the colour, denoting that there had been
a heavy fall in the upper parts of the country. The rise
in the river between Monday and Tuesday morning
could not be less than five or six feet —Perth Consti-
tutional.

Yesterday morning were married at St. Peter's
Church, Eaton-square, by the Rev. Henry John Gun-
ning, rector of Wigan, the Earl of Bradford to Lady
Moncreiffe. There were present at the ceremony the
Ladies Lucy, Charlotte, and Mary Bridgeman, and Miss
Moncreiffe, Viscount Newport, the Hon. Charles Bridge-
man, the lion. George and John Brid,,eman, Sir Thomas
Moncreiffe, Bart., Mr. and Mrs. Edmuad Wright, and
Major A. Mackay.
ANNIVERSARY OP THE OPENING Or THE ROYAL
EXCHAN9E.—The Royal Exchange was opened by her
Majesty in person, on the 28th of October, 1844. A
grand entertainment was given on Monday, at the
Albion, in celebration of the anniversary. R. L. Jones,
Esq., presided, supported by the loading members of the
corporation and of the Mercers Company, under whose
joins auspices the Royal Exchange was emoted.

Radetzky.
The Istruttore del Popolo of Turin has the fol-
lowing :
" A lady in mourning, who seemed to belong to the
higher classes of society, arrived on the morning of
the 19th at Soperza. She was accompanied by a
fcotman in mourning. She requested to see the tombs
of the kings of the house of Savoy. On being intro-
duced into the vaults, this lady proceeded to the
tomb of Charles Albert, where, after some instants of
fervent prayer, she fainted. It was the mother of
Charles Albert, who had come to pray at the tomb-of
her son. When she recovered she was conveyed back
to Moncalieri, where the Royal Family, not knowing
the cause of her absence, had suffered great uneasiness
on her account."
