DEATH OF JOHN GILLYATT
BOOTH, ESQ.
The remains of this much respected gentleman
were yesterday interred in the vaults of Hornsey
Church, having been conveyed thither from Clare-
mont. place, North Brixton. Out of respect to the
memory of the deceased, the shops were all closed as
the mournful procession passed through the village,
and business was entirely suspended, Mr. Booth
having resided at Hornsey for more than
half a century, and having expended a
very large sum in beautifying the grounds of
bid lute residence, at Crouch end. Mr. John
Booth was, for a number of years a partner in the
firm of Booth and Co., the eminent distillers, and was
the only surviving brother of the present Sir Felix
Booth, Bart., well known for his liberality in fitting
out an expedition under the conduct of Sir John
Ross, for the exploration of the Arctic Regions. He
was the second son of Philip Booth, Esq., who may be
regarded as the founder of the family. From a
very humble station Philip Booth raised himself by
his intelligence and industry to be head of the dis-
tillery in Cow Cross-street, and, by the business of a
rectifier alone, accumulated a considerable fortune.
After his death his three sons took the extensive
malt distillery in Brentford, and carried on the two
establishments together. For a short time the late
Mr. J. Booth was the proprietor of both concerns, and
in one year paid a higher duty than had ever been
paid by any distiller before, and realised in the twelve
months a nett profit of 30,0001. Mr. John Booth,
during the time he remained in business, was unre-
mitting in his attention to its details. Strict himself,
be required punctuality in others ; yet his natural
kindness of heart was so great that one of his oldest
clerks has stated that, though he know Mr. Thoth
38 years, during the greater portion of which time
that gentleman was his principal, he had never known
him to speak an angry or harsh word to any person
in his employment. This kindness of disposition
was, indeed, his peculiar characteristic. Though
engaged in the most extensive transactions of life,
his simplicity of heart was never corrupted. Per-
fectly free from deceit himself, he was perfectly un-
suspicious of it in others, and never suffered his faith
in the goodness of humanity to be shaken by partial
instances of wrong and ingratitude. His generosity,
when he conceived a firm attachment, was un-
limited, and the ancient sentiment was firmly en-
grafted in his heart, that it was better not to leave
enough money to raise a stone for remembrance than
to leave a living friend in want. With great liveli-
ness of manners he combined the utmost modesty of
spirit. The title of an honest man was all he ever
coveted, and when he found himself regarded with
affection, with respect, and almost with reverence, he
referred those qualities to amiability in the persons
who entertained then), ratherthan to the virtues in him-
self which had called them forth. Kindness and bene-
volence were indeed so deeply rooted in his nature as to
be inexhaustible ; those who knew him best loved him
most, and even they were continually surprised by
some new instance of his consideration and fore-
thought. In his last painful illness this disposition
was as conspicuous as in his previous life. He never
complained, though often wrung by cruel pain, and
he never received the most ordinary attention paid to
the sick without some expression of gratitude and
thankfulness. His whole nature was so entirely,
truthful that be was absolutely incapable of believ-
ing in falsehood; he had the innocence of the dove,
hut nothing of the guile of the serpent. It is
seldom that the purest minds rise to the highest
places. Mr. Booth was not of a character to attain
worldly honours. Lengthened proceedings in Chan-
cery, and other accidents, tended in some degree
to impair the prosperity and peace of his later years,
but his cheerfulness and good humour never deserted
him. The beatitudes of the Christian character were
all his own. During the winter he was attacked with
paralysis, but the natural vigour of his constitution
sustained him, and his friends had the strongest
hopes of his recovery. Other maladies, however,
developed themselves, the seeds of which had been
sown during his laborious attention to business, in
comparatively early life, and he expired on the 16th
inst., after a severe illness of seven days, in which
he was attended by Dr. Babington and by Mr.
Cock, surgeon of Guy's Hospital. He married a
daughter and co-heiress of the late Mr. Williamson,
the wealthy maitster, and has left three sons, neither
of whom has issue.—Post.

ENORMOUS FISIL—A few days since an extraordi-
narily large trout, weighing 151b5., was caught in the
river Stour by an eel stage fixed near the bay fronting
Bryanstone House, the seat of Lord Portman. Much
curiosity was excited at the appearance of this aristo-
cratic monster, and efforts were made to keep it alive,
but the bruires occasioned by its capture rendered this
impossible. It may be remarked that the fish became
Tilte blind before its death, and took no nourishment
after its capture.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Wonderful Efficacy of Hol-
loway's Ointment and Fills.—Nine months since a gentleman
residing in Glaslough, county of Monaghan, had an opening
made from the hip to the knee, and a great deal of diseased
thtsh removed. For three years he suffered night and day, al.
though he consulted all the most skilful surgeons and physi-
cians he could hear of, using baths, liniments, &c., without
effect. He expected to bp a cripple for life, yet, by the use of
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, he is now cured, and enabled
to attend to business for the last six months, as though nothing
had happened. His address is known to the proprietor of the
Armagh, Guardian. Sold by ail druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, arand, London.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.
We have news from Malta to the 17th of October.
Nearly all the ships comprising the force of the station
being with Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., G.C.8.,
there are few items of interest in naval matters.
The fleet sailed from Corfu for Athens on the 10th, the
Gallant Admiral intending to cruise in the Archipelago.

stated on Wednesday, has been ordered from Leghorn
to Athens, to join Sir W. Parker's fleet.
The Thetis, 36, Captain Codriegton, C. 8., has been
ordered to Gibraltar and Lisbon, to try her rate of sail-
ing with the Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fitz-
roy. She arrived at Malen from Corfu, on the 18th,
but here countermand orders awaited her from the Ad-
miralty to return and rejoin the Admiral.
Captain Adolphus Slade arrived at Malta, from Mar-
seilles, in the Oberon, 3, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Gardiner, on the 15th; and the vessel having

NEW MARINE NIGHT SIGNALS.
A public mewing was held on Monday last in the
Town Hell of Peterhead, of the principal inhabitants,
bankers, shipowners, and seamen, to hear a lecture
delivered by Mr. Rettia, C.E., from Lond in, inventor of
the railway and marine night signals, and on the New
tidal harbour lights, who gave one of the most lucid
and interesting accounts of the progress made and the
importance of having one uniform system of marine night
signals, and for a more definite tidal night light, to
show seamen the true depth of water during the dark-
ness of the night.
A. Anderson, Esq., shipowner, was called to the chair,
and after a most interesting lecture from Mr. Rettin,
it was unanimously resolved, on the motion of the
Chairman, seconded by G. Mude, Esq., of the London
Shipping Company, " That this meeting urgo upon the
Harbour Trustees the importance of their immediately
adopting the new improved tidal system; and also to
urge the general adoption of the new signals of distress,
which would enable crews to escape and ofttimes get
teisistance in case of shipwreck or other casualties at sea."
As to one general and uniform system of tidal
lights for all harbours, there was but one opinion; tied
they did not imagine that any would say a single word
against it, and that the trustees of the Peterhead
Harbour be respectfully requested to adopt these im-
provements new at the commencement of the winter.
It was observed this morning a vessel had en-
tered the harbour at half tide and had sustained
damage, beating on the ground, just for want of this
very use ul invention of Mr. Rettin's.

SE W AGE MAN URE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Understanding that a report of a successful
experiment in separating sewage manure from the water
with which it is associated in the London sewers ap-
peared an eveninc, or two since in your journal, I beg to
give you a much better evidence than any experiment on
the small scale can affird of the efficiency of the prin-
ciple, in the fact that the magistrates of the county of
Glamorgan having adopted it for collecting the drainage
of the county gaol, works have been erected, which
will be in active operation within a week from this time;
in fact, the first charge of sewage will pass through the
tanks to-morrow. Also, that a work of some consider-
able magnitude, and calculated not only to show the
practicability, out the payability of the method, is now
in course of con Aruction, from the plans, and under the
able direction of W. B. Moffatt, Esq., at the Vulcan-
wharf, Puddlc-dock, Blackfriars, sanctioned by the City
Commissioners of Sewers and the Committee of Health.
The gentleman whose experiments you report upoa
seems to parade them as if they were the exposition of
a principle which he had just discovered, instead of being
a very close imitation of a method patented by me more
than three years since.
For a fu'l developement of my method, and the prin•
ciples on which it is founded, I beg to refer you, as I
have already referred the Hon. Court of Metropolitan
Sewers, to the report of the Select Committee of the
House of Commons on Metropolitan Sewage, and to the
evidence taken ;_iefore the surveying officers, preliminary
to the passing the Act for Incorporating the London
Sewage Chemical Manure Company.
I have no doubt that you will see the justice of
inserting this letter of, Sir, your obedient servant,

- WILLIAM HIGGS.
79, St. Mary's-street, Cardiff, Oct. 25, 1849.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—An article appeared in The Sun of Saturday,
Oct. 13, on a case brought before the Doncaster
magistrates—"Philips v. King." Thinking that, ac-
cording to your suggestion, the matter would come
before the Quarter Sessions, we have been silent,
desiring that it might be fully investigated ;
but the grand jury having rejected it, we feel it
our duty to offer a few remarks thereupon, relying on
your sense of justice for their insertion. We will
endeavour to be brief.

In your article it is presumed that the question
of registration was raised by Mr. John King and his
friends. it was not so ; it originated entirely
with the magistrates, much to the annoyance
cf the defendants, who were anxious that the case
should go on. Mr. John King is not the minister, but
a trustee of the place, and claiming nothing more
than that.

No disturbance 'whatever was occasioned by Mr.
King, his venerable mother, or Mark Glossop, as
alleged by Mr. Marratt ; it originated, was carried
on, and terminated with the plaintiffs. The vestry
was not entered by any of them ; all that was done
was of a protective kind, to prevent injury being done
by the missiles thrown upon their premises ; but in
doing which poor Mark obtained two black eyes from
one of the brethren.

This is the truth, and we are prepared to prove it.
We beg your attention to the following :
This chapel was built for the Congregationalists—
Independents ; the deeds specify the doctrines and
order, but those who have lately frequented it have
instituted a particular Baptist form of worship, in
defiance of the trust deed, and contrary to the formal
interdiction of the whole of the trustees. Surely that
will speali for itself without a word of comment.
As trustees we are responsible, and have a duty to
perform, however painful it may be to act in oppo-
sition to a professedly religious people; but we hope
that whilst doing it we shall not be misrepresented ;
and, from long experience, we know you would not
wilfully misrepresent the most humble.
Yours respectfully (for the trustees),
EDWARD SIDDALL, Sheffield.
Oct. 20, 1849.

FALL OF A RAILWAY VIA.DUCT.—y ter des ay after-
noon an accident of a most serious character, as far as
property is concerned, occurred on a portion of the Pres-
ton Extension Railway. About half-past one o'clock,
thirteen arches of the Ribble-valley viaduct, which was
in the course of construction, cell in with a tremendous
crash. Owing to the extreme wetness of the weather,
the bricklayers were not at work at the time, and fortu-
nately the accident has not been attended, so far as is
et known, with loss of life or injury to any person. It
is conjectured that the accident arose in consequence of
the foundation arches being weakened by the quantity
of water which had collected on the spot.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, OCT. 24.—We
had the quickest demand for hops on Saturday of any
day during the season; so much so that a clearance of
the market was effected before noon. at an advance upon
all descriptions, of ss. per cwt. The supply from the
growers was very trifling, not PMOUriting to more than
100 pock Is, the quantity in offer Icing made up from
those left unsold the previous week. New Worcesters,
115 s. to 1405.; choice 1505.; 1848's, 80s. to 955.; choice,
