HALF--PAST ONE.
According to a private letter from Chusan, dated Oct.
13, the health of the troops had considerably improved
since their removal into houses in the town. Fresh pro-
visions were becoming plentiful, if private adviccs can be de-
pended upon. Admiral Elliot's proceedings are relieved
from syspicion of weakness which appeared to bang over
them. At the mouth of the river Peiho, we aro told, au
there was no appearance of the Emperor's reply arriving at
the hour fixed, active preparations were made in landing
the troops, &c. This movement quickened the farce of the
Mandarins. The negotiations were to be opened early in
Nov., at Canton. No payment for the confiscated opium to
be demanded, the object of security for the future, then
indemnity for the past, but the slightest attempt at delay
will be considered as negative, and immediate hostilities
follow. On the propriety of removing the negotiations to
Canton there is a great difference of opinion.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—An acciden
of an unusual character happened on Tuesday, as one o
the morning trains was passing between the Slough and
West Drayton stations. One of the wheels belonging to
a second class carriage broke up, fortunately without
throwingthe train off the rails, though not without hazard
to life and limb. The metal rim forming the disc of the
wheel became severed and detached, leaving the bare
spokes in contact with the rail. The pieces of iron thrown
off, resembling the tire of ordinary carriage wheels, but of
course of much greater solidity, were driven with frightful
violence through the floor of the carriage, slightly injuring
a female who was seated nearly over the spot, and, tiking
through the slender partition or rails which divide the box
compartments of the second class carriage:, inflicted a
very severe injury on a gentleman with whom the piece of
metal came so suddenly and unexpectedly in contact.
The train was brought slowly into the Drayton station,
whe e the sufferer was lifted out, and every attention
promptly rendered.
TILE EARL OF CARDIGAN.—We understand
that on the approaching trial of the Earl of Cardigan the
strangers' gallery in the House of Lords will be exclu-
sv.:ly occupied by Peeresses. The reporters for the public
press will have places assigned to them near the bar of the

THE PRIESTS' PROPERTY IN SPAIN.-M.
Mendiz,bal, who is now on eight or nine electioneering lists,
could get into the representation without courting the
Electoral College of Mach id; his dcterm:nai n to sell the
secular cl. rgy property, and his opposition to the tithes, re-
commending him to the ultra-Liberals, who have the upper
hand.—Lefler from Madrid.

On Tuesday afternoon the banking-house of
Messrs. Weston and Young, Wellington-street, in the
Borough, was thrown into a state of great consternation by
an alai m of fire, but it was soon extinguished by the exer-
tions of the inmates. It originated in the chimney of the
counting-house.

The funeral of Doctor Olinthus Gregory, late
Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Military Academy
on Woolwich Common, took place on Monday morning,
when, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, acd the
wish of the family that it should be strictly private, a large
assembly of the clergy in the town and neighbourhood,
and many artillery and engineer officers of high rank at-
tended to pay the last tribute of respect to a gentleman
whose memory will long be hold dear in that vicinity. The
gentlemen invited to attend as mourners were Sir John
Webb, Colonel Jones, Major Cuppage, and Sir Chapman
Marshall. On the previous day the Rev. Mr. Molineux
preached a funeral sermon in the new church at Woolwich
to a crowded congregation. Dr. Gregory's house was
open to literary and scientific men from any part of the
world, and notwithstanding the laborious duties of his
office, he was always ready to give detailed an-
swers to all applications made to him. These ap-
plications were very numerous from persons who had
made, or thought they had made, mathematical dis-
coveries, and he cheerfully and candidly replied to
them, as he once told the writer of this simple tribute to
his character, in order to prevent those who were mistaken
from pursuing what might lead them to ruin. Doctor
Gregory was subjected at one period to a heavy daily ex-
pense of postage, and he was always subjected to expense
in receiving his many learned visitors with hospitality, and
thus was prevented from making much provision for his
family. For the thirty-five years he was at the Ordnance
Academy, he was always at his post, arid there is scarcely
an artillery or engineer officer at Woolwich who has not
been a pupil of his.
Three small vessels were wrecked a few days
back to the cast of Boulogne. It appears that they had
mistaken the light on Cape Griz Nez for a light on the
coast of England.
