KINGSTOWN HARBOUR LIGHTS, EAST COAST

The Corporation for preserving and improving the
port of Dublin, hereby give notice, that on and after the
Ist of October next, the light hitherto shown from the
Timber Building on the east pier of Kingstown Harbour,
Dublin Bay, will be discontinued, and a light exhibited
from the Tower built on the Pier-head, which will
thenceforth be illuminated every night from sunset to
sunrise.

Specification given of the position and appearance of the
Tower, &c., by Mr. Halpin, the Inspector of Light-
houses:—

" The New Tower is in lat. 53 18 10 N., and long.
6 7 45 W., and bears from north end of Kish Bank,
N.W. by W. I W., distant 6/ 8111, miles; from south
end of Burford Bank, W. by N. N., distant 34 sea
miles; from Poolbeg Lighthouse, S. W., distant 2}
sea miles.

" The Tower is erected in the centre of the Eastern
Pier-head—it is of circular form, as also the lower build-
ing around. The outer walling granite.
" The light will be at an elevation of thirty-seven feet
above the level of high water springs. and will, in
appearance, be similar to the present light, viz. —a re-
volving light, presenting white and ri d faces alternately,
attaining their greate-t brilliancy at equal intervals of
thirty seconds. The light will be shown in all directions
in which the present light has heretofore been visible;
kept open, it will lead clear of the Muglins Rocks.
" Until the erection of a light on the West Pier-head,
the small fixed red light in the temporary timber shed
on that pier will be continued as before.
" Bearings stated are magnetic—var. 27 deg. W.
" Ballast-office, Dublin, Sept. 9, 1847."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Coastwise up to our market, last week, the arrivals of
English Wheat was somewhat on the increase, but by
no means extensive. Of all other articles of home pro-
duce the receipts were on a very limited scale, the time
of year considered. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely
any Corn came to hand ; but from abroad we received
33,483 quarters of Wheat, 8,803 ditto of Barley, 47.529
ditto of Oats, and 11,177 barrels of Flour. From
Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, as well as our other
grain districts, the arrivals of English Wheat up to our
market this morning, coastwise as well as by land car-
riage, and samples were very small, owing to which and
the increased attendance of both town and country millers,
many of whom were very short of stock, the demand
for all descriptions of that article was somewhat active,
at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of
from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which most of the
samples brought forward were disposed of ; indeed, we
may observe that the market closed firm. Notwith-
standing a very extensive quantity of Foreign Wheat
Was again brought forward, a fair average amount of
business was transacted at fully last week's currencies.
In some few instances the very finest Dantzic was held
at a rise in value of Is per quarter. The general qua-
lity of the foreign Wheat was by no means first rate.
For the best malting Barley the demand was very
steady, and late rates were supported in most transac-
tions. Grinding and distilling sorts were, however,
much neglected, though we cannot call them cheaper.
The bulk of the English supply was de-
cidedly good, both in colour and condition.
With Malt we were again scantily supplied neverthe-
less, the Malt trade was in a very sluggish state, at
but little, it any, variation in the quotations. The
supply of English Oats was very scanty, that of foreign
vary large. Selected parcels were mostly disposed of
at late figures ; but the out-of-condition sorts declined
6d. per quarter, without much progress being made in
sales. Indian Corn and Meal were in moderate request,
chiefly for feeding purposes, and full prices were paid
in every instance. There was a steady inquiry f 4
Beans, and late rates were firmly supported. The sale
for all kinds of Peas was steady, and some of the
holders refused to sell even at extreme figures. The
Flour trade was steady, and the prices paid on this day
ae'rmight were realised without difficulty.

• Pigs, 10. t Ditto, G.
At the outports the arrivals (mostly from Hamburgh
and Rotterdam) have comprised nearly 2,200 head of
each kind of stock, the quality of which has been by no
means first-rate. The supply of foreign stock here, to-
day, was again extensive, viz., 964 Oxen and Cows,
3,800 Sheep and Lambs, 110 Calves, and 20 Pigs. All
breeds, the condition of which was very inferior, met a
very slow inquiry, at barely last week's qu'otations, and
a total clearance was not effected. For /he time of
year the arrivals of Beasts fresh up from our various
grazing districts, were good as to numbers, but very
deficient in quality. The attendance of both town and
country buyers being large, the primest Scots, Here-
fords, runts, &c., commanded a steady sale, at fully, but
at nothing quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this
day s'ennight, the former breed producing 4s 6d per
Sibs without difficulty ; but the middling and inferior
kinds of Beef moved off heavily, at barely late rates.
The bullock droves and railway receipts from the nor-
thern grazing districts, consisted of about 1,600 short-
horns. From the western, midland, and eastern coun-
ties, we received 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, short-
horns, and Scots, from other parts of England 600 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland, 200 horned and
polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were moderately
good, but their general quality was indifferent. Com-
paratively speaking, the Mutton trade was in a sluggish
state, at Friday's decline in value of 2d per 61bs. The
highest figure for the best old Downs did not exceed
5s 2d per Blbs, and a total clearance was with difficulty
effected. The primest Calves were in steady request, et
full prices ; bt.V. all other kinds of Veal commanded
very little attention. Searcely any Pigs have been on
offer in this market from Ireland for some time past ;
but the supply of English has been tolerably extensive,
and of full average quality. To-day the Pork trade
was rather inactive, yet prices were supported. The
foreign Pigs were in wretched condition, and scarcely
fit for consumption.

Up to these markets, since Monday last, the arrivals
of country-killed have been on the increase, but of very
middling quality: With meat slaughtered in the metro-
polis we have been seasonably well supplied. Prime
Beef, Mutton, and Pork, from their scarcity, have com-
manded a stoady sale, at full prices. All other kinds of
meat have met a very dull inquiry, at barely late rates.
Not less than 3,800 carcasses of foreign meat have ap-
peared on sale in miserably bad condition, and which
Aare sold at very low currencies.

Our market still continues in a very inactive state for
all kinds of new hops—the supply of which is almost
daily increasing—and, in most instances, the quotations
have a downward tendency. Yearling and old llops are
almost nominal in value. The duty is called from 170,0001.

wool,
into London, have
14eell again liberal, viz., 1,964 bales from Port Phillip ;

700 ditto from Algoa Bay ; 250 ditto from Haroburgh ;
and 300 ditto from various other quarters. The scarcity
of no— • de.onsid,}ra,6l,- ht.!? in the
Forr=in ;.,;, and, when
sales are pressed, rather lower prices are accepted.
TALLOW.
Notwithstanding the imports of Tallow since this day
se'nnight have been again liberal, buyers have come
forward somewhat more freely, and full prices have been
realised in every instance ; indeed, we may observe that
in some cases 3d per cwt. more money has been paid for
fine quality, which may be quoted at 47s ; other descrip-
tions, 46s tad to 46s 9d per cwt. For forward delivery a
moderate business is doing at 45s 9d to 46s per cwt.
Town Tallow is 48s net cash, and Rough Fat, 2s 8d
per 81bs.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Webster takes the field for the winter season
in greater force than ever. It is true, he has lost
Buckstone, but this loss is more than compensated
for by the acquisition of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, and
Mr. Alfred Wigan. With the exception of Buckstone
we have all the old favourites, Mrs. Glover, Mrs.
Nisbett, Miss P. Horton, Miss Fortescue, Miss Rey-
nolds, Miss Julia Bennett, Mrs. Humby, Mrs. W.
Clifford, and Farren, Hudson, Tilbury, Howe,
Brindal, and, although last not least, clever, quaint,
little Clark. The new engagements are Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kean, Miss Helen Faucit, Mr. Creswick,
Mr. H. Farren, Mr. H. Vandenhoff, Mr. Ranger,
and Miss E. Messent, in addition to the Keeleys and
Mr. Alfred Wigan. The theatre was opened on
Saturday night for the season with the School for
Scandal and the Invisible Prince. The following was
the cast of the comedy, and since the days of Elliston
and Charles Kemble never has this chef dceuvre of
Sheridan been so strongly cast as it was on Saturday :
Sir Peter Teazle Mr. Farren
Sir Oliver Surface Mr. Tilbury
Sir Benjamin Backbite Mr. A. Wigan
Joseph Surface Mr. Creswick
Charles Surface Mr. Henry Farren
Careless Mr. H. Vandenhoff
Rowley Mr. Gough
Moses Mr. Webster
Snake Mr. Braid
_ _

Sir Harry Mr. Canfield
Crabtree Mr. Rogers
Trip
Lady Teazle Mrs. Nisbett
Mrs. Candour Mrs. Glover
Lady Sneerwell Mrs. W. Clifford
Maria Miss E. Messent.
Maid Miss E. Woolds
It was a bold attempt on the part of Mr. H. Farren,
to appear for the first time before a London audience
in the character of Charles Surface, but the success
of the attempt was quite equal to its boldness. Mr.
H. Farren in person resembles his father. He is tall
and well proportioned, and has very expressive fea-
tures. His voice i 3 powerful, and his manner easy.
At first he appeared somewhat stiff, but as he
warmed in the part he acquired confidence. The
auction scene was very good, and the screen scene
was excellently given. The manner in which he
banters Joseph and Sir Peter at the conclusion, was
quite equal to the most gifted of his prede-
cessors. Mr. Creswick is a careful and clever
—and if he would dare to be original—he would be
a great actor, but he must avoid Macreadyisms. His
Joseph Surface would have been first rate had it not
been marred by his imitations of Macready's :worst
faults. He emphasises every syllable, for instance,
he always spoke of Sir Peter Teazell, not Teazle, and,
like Mossop, rolled his thunder in monosyllable. Let
him cure himself of this propensity to imitation, let
him cease to be a disciple of a bad school, and he may
attain the very highest position in his profession.
His conception of character is admirable, and his
powers are great. The Sir Benjamin Backbite
of Mr. Alfred Wigan was far and away the best that
has been seen for years. It was quite equal to
Jones's, and that is giving it the highest praise pos-
sible. Miss Messent was timid and nervous, and

therefore scarcely did justice to herself, in Maria.
Webster's Moses was first-rate. It had all the
quaint humour of the Moses of Yates. Mr.
H. Vandenhoff made the most of Careless. He
was admirable in the auction scene. His person is
good, and his voice melodious, and he will be an
acquisition to the company. Farren, Mrs. Glover,
Mrs. Nisbett, and Mrs. W. Clifford all seemed
in excellent health and spirits, and acted
as they alone can act. It was the most perfect repre-
sentation of the School for Scandal that has been
seen for years. The National Anthem was sung at
the conclusion of the comedy. The house was
crammed to suffocation in every part long before the
rising of the curtain.

THE NATIONAL ANTI-GOLD-LAW

-
LEAGUE.
'The following suggestions are humbly offered for
the consideration of the National Anti• Gold-law
League, being indited solely with the patriotic view
of obviating the pecuniary difficulties of the present

period.
Ist—Applications to the Prime Minister, through
elected delegates, for an " Order in Council," to
authorise the issuing of " One Pound Parliamentary
Notes."
2d—With these representatives of national wealth,
the contractors of those. railways in progress to
discharge the wages, and other debts, due for materials
used.
3d—At the expiration of six or twelve months from
the opening of such railway, the holders of the notes
so issued and numbered to present them for payment
at the respective banks of issue—such notes to be then
cancelled.
4th—These operations to be repeated according to
the requirements of each special railway, and as the
funds arising from the traffic of such railways shall
appear to warrant.
Let the " Order in Council" only vote the Parlia-
mentary 1/. notes, and all the serious impediments—
mercantile industry (of both railways, in forming,
and the whole trading interest) are removed.—Deo
volente.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT WATERLOO-BRIDGE. -- On
Saturday afternoon, a fine boy, aged about seven years,
LOU of Thomas Bunker, dairyman, of Marquis-court,
Drury-lane, crawled through the balustrade on to the
entablature of Waterloo-bridge, where he overbalanced
himself, and fell from a height of above thirty feet,
pitching upon the watermens' stone steps. A person,
well known as Robinson Crusoe, from constantly paddling
about the river in a canoe, was on the spot, and imme-
diately conveyed the child to Mr. Snitch, surgeon, of
Brydges-street, who recommended his removal to
Charing- cross Hospital, where the little sufferer arrived
only in time to breathe his last. The mother of the
deceased happened to be at the hospital, visiting her
father, who had his ear cut off by being run over in
Bow-street the same morning, and was on her return
when she discovered the dead body of her child in the
hall of the institution.

LOSS OF THE HON. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S WAR
STEAMER CLEOPATRA.—For several weeks past a feel
ing of the deepest regret has prevailed amongst the
authorities of the East India House, in Leadenhall-street
in consequence of the receipt of intelligence from th
Company's Marine Depot at Bombay, announcing the
probable loss of the above-mentioned vessel. The cir-
cumstances attending her destruction will most likely
ever remain in mystery. The Cleopatra, it is stated,
from her peculiar form of build, was not well adapted for
the service in which she was commissioned. She measured
nearly 800 tons burden, and carried four guns. She
steamed from Bombay on the 14th of April last, with orders
for Singapore, and had on board nearly 200 convicts. Her
crew comprised 70 persons. There was also a detachment
of Marines on board. Among the officers in charge of the
ship may be mentioned—Captain J. A. Young, com-
mander, Lieutenant Eden, Lieutenant Ralph, Mr. F. W.
Nott, Mr. T. G. Croad, acting master, and Mr. J.
Seedy, son of Captain Soady, R.N. Four days after the
departure from Bombay, it came on a frightful hurri-
cane, which continued with unabated violence three days
—the 17th, 18th, and 19th. It is very probable that the
Cleopatra had, at the time of encountering the storm,
reached the Malabar coast, off which, unfortunately,
there is too much reason to believe, she foundered, with
eve human being on board. The marine authorities
a
t Bombay sent out two powerful steamers in search of
her, and, according to the last account, not the slightest
discovery had been made that would tend to clear up
the mystery that at present surrounds the fate of the
vessel. The uninhabited islands westward, to which it
was thought that the ill-fated steamer might probably
have been driven, had been inspected, but of no avail;
neither had any wreck corresponding with the Cleopatra
been picked up. 'The estimate for building and fitting
the unfortunate ship exceeded 30,0001.
THE LATE EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS.—One of
the three parties so severely injured by the explosion of
fireworks which occurred on Friday evening last, in the
Blackftiars-road, and reported in this journal of Satur-
day, has expired from the effects of the burns received.
Toe deceased was a brother of
.Slr,,Mordey, and about
fourteen years of age. At six o'clockock
injured per-
sons, and Mr. Mordey, were lying in such a state that
very little hopes could be entertained of their recovery.
Indeed, the death of the boy Perry was hourly e)(-
pected. Everything that humanity or surgical skill
can devise has been done for the unfortunate sufferers
by the surgeens i
of Guy's Hospital, to which institution
they were removed, but it is feared without success, for
the chest and other vital parts of each are believed Jo
be injured.

THE REFUSAL OF FRANCE TO RECEIVE BELGIAN
COIN.—The Bank of France having refused, as we
before stated, to receive the Belgian coin, Belgian
five-franc pieces, which was in fact the commence-
ment of a prohibition for the entrance of French
money into Belgium, remonstrances have been ad-
dressed to that Bank by our Government, in con-
sequence of which the prohibition will be withdrawn,
and Belgian coin will be admissible as heretofore.
THE POLITICAL CHANGES IN BADEN. Nothing
has as yet been settled respecting the changes
which are so ardently desired and so much wanted
here. Perhaps in no part of Germany are the inha-
bitants so completely under the thraldom of foreign
manners and opinions as here; all is in imperfect
imitation of our southern neighbours. Many of us,
in fact, seem to forget that we are Germans. The
names of our public buildings are inscribed in French,
in the reading-room the German newspapers are
banished to a side-table in the back-ground, our
play-house is designated Theatre—(it is a marvel
that we have plays in the German language)
—our native tongue is scarcely used—exploded,
and instead of the rich tones of our native
language, we are assailed on all sides by the certainly
less harmonious sounds of French, spoken as loud
as possible, and in most cv ses so incorrectly that a
genuine Parisian is ashamed to own it. Surely our
countrymen are no better than hirelings who endea-
vour to imitate their masters with servile precision.
Truly, all the attractions of nature and art are needed
in order to make Baden palateable to educated Ger-
mans, to make their residence here at all tolerable,
and if possible to make them forget that here, in
certain respects, Germany is found in her state of
degradation.
ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. N.—The last military
bulletin is dated the 20th August. Turtshidag was
left on the 6th August by the Commander with
Samur troops, as nothing further was to be appre-
hended from the cholera. One detachment alone was
left, while he went with the other divisions to besiege
Aul Salta, in order to save himself against hostile
attacks by the taking of this stronghold. On
the following day numbers of the enemy appeared
on the surrounding heights, and at night made
several attempts on the Russian camp. A hostile
band of from 7,000 to 8,000 cavalry, under Daniel
Bek, made a threatening movement against the left
flank of the Russians, in the ravines between Kejer
and the bridges of Chidatti and Salta. Count Wo-
ronzow, however, also had meanwhile received rein-
forcements from fort Chodshal. Macha attacked
them on the night of the 18th of August, and sur-
rounded the enemy, who was only able to save himself
by a speedy retreat. Aul Salta, however, had not
been taken, but the General intended to renew the
attack. _

ST. PETERSBURGH.—The intended journey of the
Emperor, who has just set out for Moscow, appears
to be given up for the present. This is probably
owing to the progress of the cholera. In consequence
of the prevalence of this pestilence the projected re-
views and levying of the troops are likewise post-
poned for the present. In order that trade and
commerce may receive no check from the spread of
the disease, the Emperor has commanded all convey-
ances, whether by water or by land, containing cho-
lera patients, shall not be detained after they have
given them over to the official authorities. During
the prevalence of the cholera in Cis, Trans-Caucasia,
from 16th October, 1846, to 13th January, 1847, ,more
than 17,050 individuals were attacked, of whom
6,310 died. Various remedies resolved upon, viz. rub-
bing the body with ice, internal applications of ice,
of cold water, after the Priesznitz, method, were very
successful in the first stages of the disorder ; after-
wards, friction with woolen cloths, and other stimu-
lating applications, warm baths, an elexir of corn
brandy, saltpetre, pepper, naptha, salamonia, olive oil,
and mint, was much used amongst the lower orders,
and was found very efficacious, especially the naptha
In the middle of July the pestilence appeared at
Astracan ; it soon spread over the whole town, and
raged especially in the low damp quarters. It pene-
trated into the hospitals, where it seized patients
however afflicted with totally opposite diseases. The
male sex was attacked with five times the force that
the female was—adults more frequently than youths,
and proved more fatal to the Russians than to the
Calmuks. This is explained by the fact that the
Mahometans are more cleanly in their mode of life,
clothe themselves better and warmer than the Rus-

---
sians, and are very moderate careful in eating and
drinking. The Calmuks are less liable to it; living
in their steppes, they are constantly in the open air.
It attained its greatest pitch on the 30th of July, on
which day 137 persons died. Now it has almost
disappeared here.

THE CONVICTS UNDER SEN-
TENCE OF DEATH.
thesie
Sheriff
murder
o Kent,
Immediately after the conviction of Hutchings for
f
t, the
hiswi
wife, he
with in that county, and was conveyed to Maidstone
Gaol, where he now lies, awaiting the execution of his
sentence. Ever since his conviction he has declared
his innocence of the crime, and some humane indi-
viduals, who entertain an opinion that the evidence
was insufficient to warrant his conviction, have in-
terested themselves to procure a remission of his sen-
tence. The convict has complained bitterly of his son
Thomas, who, it will be remembered, was examined
as a witness upon the trial, and says, that if he had
told the jury, what he knew to be the case, that on
the morning of the day his mother died she declared
that she would destroy herself, he should not have
been convicted ; and in a letter written by the con-
vict within the last few days, he entreats the persons
who are interceding for him,
_to lay this fact before
the Government, and have his son examined upon it,
as he insists that this must have the effect of saving
his life. At present no day is fixed for the execution,
the law now giving the sheriff some latitude, and
merely directing that it shall take place within a
certain period.
The woman, Mary Ann Hunt, under sentence of
death, for the blarylebone murder, still continues in a
most distressed state. It appears that the late sheriffs
of Middlesex and London very materially exceeded
their powers in not having the sentence carried into
effect in due course after the prisoner's conviction, as
she did not plead pregnancy ; but expressly replied,
when asked by Mr. Straight, the deputy clerk of the
arraigns, whether she had anything to urge in stay of
execution, that she had nothing to say, and in strict-
ness the law ought thereupon to take its course.
The sheriffs, however, upon the statement made at
the trial by Mr. M‘Murdo, the surgeon of the gaol,
that he believed the prisoner was three or four months
advanced in the family-way, took upon themselves to
delay the execution of the sentence, and in the result
it turned out that the wretched woman was not in
the condition suspected. The ordinary period for the
execution had then passed away, and as the Court
was not sitting, nor any judge who could take cogni-
sance of the matter, it was found necessary to delay
any further proceedings until the Central Criminal
Court again assembled, and the prisoner was then
formally (as detailed last week) called upon to say
whether she had anything to urge in delay of her exe-
cution ; and it was considered more satisfactory by
the authorities that a jury of matrons should be ern-
' panelled, to decide the question. The execution is
fixed to take place this day week.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE. OF CHILD STEALING IN
NOTTINGHAM.—A singular case of th:s description oc-
curred in Nottingham a few days ago. It appears that
a little boy, named William Dorsey, about seven years
of age, was standing at the corner of a street, near the
market-place, when a young sweep came up to him and
told him he was wanted; the child, however, refused to
go; upon this an elder boy, of the name of Dodd, came
to him and took him to a public-house in an adjoining
street. He was there received by a man named William
Duesbury (a sweep), who stupified the child with ale.
Early on the following morning Duesbury proceeded
with his little captive to Carlton railway station, a short
distance from Nottingham, and from thence they started
for Hull. From information obtained by the police a
warrant was issued for Duesbury's aprrehension, end
shortly afterwards he was brought to rottingham and
taken before the magistrate. The prisoner stated to the
mayor that he wanted a boy, and he wrote to a man in
Nottingham named Neal (who is blind) to procure him
one. Neal made the circumstance keown to a sweep,
and by that means the lad was obtainel. The prisoner
added, that it was a regular thing for one sweep to steal
a boy from another when such could be done; he had
been stolen himself, he said, when a lad. He was re-
manded for further examination. On Saturday the pri-
soner was again brought up, but no one appeared to
prosecute. The mayor informed him he had had a very
narrow escape, for had the charge beer, proved against
him he would have been liable to transportation. The
prisoner was then discharged.
ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY, Woonwicu.—The
forty-one gentlemen cadets who passed their examina-
tions on Friday last, and were recommended for com-
missions in the Ordnance corps, have obtained leave of
absence until they are Gazetted and a?pointed to com-
panies in the Royal Artillery and to we Royal Engi-
neers. That no time may be lost in hinging forward a
nearly similar number of gentlemen cadets for commis-
sions, forty of the theoretical class studying at the Royal
Military Academy were examined as to their fitness for
entering the practical class, and passed their exami-
nations.

A JUST JUDGMENT.—A wealthy farmer, living
not more than three miles from Tyrone, was offered 2s.
a stone for 1,000 of oats, but he would not take less
than 2s. 6d. A few days ago he sold the whole tur
Shilling a stony
