MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week
were on a fair average scale, and the same may be said of
Beans; while those of Barley were larger than for some time
past. Of all other articles of home produce the receipts were
very small. From Ireland upwards of 10,030 quarters of
Oats came fresh to hand, but the imports of foreign Wheat,
Barley, Beans, and Peas, were comparatively trifling—those
of Oats, Linseed, and Flour, rather extensive—over 12,000
barrels of the latter article having reached us from America.
From Kent rather more than an average quantity of English
Wheat reached us to-day in excellent condition, but from
Essex and Cambridgeshire the il'esh arrivals were small.
Still, however, the show of samples was moderately
extensive. The millers being mostly well in stock,
and the potato accounts being considered rather
more favourable than of late, the demand for all descriptions
of English Wheat was somewhat inactive, without any im-
provement in the quotations. Yet prior to the close of busi-
ness a fair clearance was effected, at Friday's improvement
in the quotations of from is tD 2s per quarter. There was
evidently more inclination on the pal,: of the holders to do
buzjuet, at that day's pricer. WHit free Foreign Wheat we
were rilivlerately well, but not to say heavily supplied.
Selected parceS of both red and white sold at Friday's im-
proved currencies, bat no advance upon them was noticed
in any instance. Holders were again tolerably firm.
For bonded Grein there was lei inquiry ; but about 2,000
quarters of Dantzic found buyeia ;or shipment to Holland,
at late rates. We were fairly supplied with English
Barley. ; but the supply of foreign was small. The best
grinding parcels were in fair request, at about, previous
quotation, ; but all other kinds hung on band. The supply
of Malt was limited. Those parcels ready for delivery com-
manded a firm inquiry, at very full prices ; while the value
of - other kinds was well supported. lre were much
better supplied with Oats zn for some time
yet the inquiry for that description of Grain
was and fine Coin produced fully 6d per quarter more
money arrivals from Ireland are expected to be
trifling fur some t,
--+e hence. The supply of Beans being on
the increr se, no further

sivirritrxzxm The imports of live stock for ourmarket d • h
week have been on an extensive mscaale, prime quality; anroafguntuesupallisyt
indeed, scarcely any of the Beasts have
reached us in a half-fci state. Several of the Cows imported
some months since, and which were disposed of to the cow-
keepers in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, have again
appeared on sale here in exceuent condition ; and
we understand they have tarned out excellent milkers.

At Newcastle 38 Oxen rnd 169 Pigs have been received from
Ilamburgh, and which have sold at full prices. The
receipts at hull have been about 500 head of various
kinds of stock, chiefly from Holland. By sea, about 200
Pigs have arrived in the metropolis from Ireland.
We had on offer 830 foreign Oxen anti Cows, 2,300 ditto of
Sheep and Lambs, end 22 Calves, nearly the whole of which
found buyers at full lulus. The supply of hom,-fed Beasts
was rgain moderately extensive, and of fair average quality.
On the whole Beef wes in a sluggish state, and last week's
quotations were barely sunported. From the northern dis-
tricts we received 2,200 Short-horns, from the western and
midland counties, 700 Herefords, Devons, Bunts, &c., and
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds, the re-
mainder of the supply being chiefly detived from abroad.
With Sheep we were, cmparatirely speaking, very mode-
rately supplied; hence the Mutton trade was active at fully,
but at nothing quotable beyond the currencies obtained on
Monday last. Lamb being now out of season, we have dis-
continued to quote it. In Calves end Pigs a steady business
wes doing at extreme prices.

Owiflg to the high prices for live stock in the north of

meat have come to hand from a 1. quarters during the past
week—they having Mounted only to 50 carcases of Beef ;
150 ditto of Mutton; 70 ditto of Lamb; 80 ditto of Veal;
and 90 ditto of Pork. However, !he supplies on offer, killed
in the metropolis, have been on the increase ; hence the
general demand—if we except the inquiry for Veal, which
has ruled steady—ba3 been in a very inactive state, and the
quotations have, in some instenc,es, had a downward ten-
dency. About 100 carcases of foreign Beef; 500 ditto of
Mutton; 49 ditto of Lamb; and 30 ditto of Veal, have been
disposed of at good prices.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Our markets have been again fairly supplied with Pota-
toes since our last report, but the quality has proved inferior.
There is, however, a good business doing, at from 31 to 6/ lOs

WOOL.
The imports of Wool into London in the past week have
been extensive, vie., 117 bales from Adelaide, 1,380 bales
from Bombay, 19bbales from Launceston, 919 bales from
Port Philip, 529 bales from Algoa Bay, 241 bales from the
Cape, 122 bales from Gibraltar, 70 bales from Lisbon, 202
bales from Seville, and 64 bales from Genoa..
In the private
contract market a good business is doing English Wool,
at very full prices, but foreign and colonial qualities com-
mand very little attention.

TALLW.
This market has been very ac a
ctive during the past week,
and prices of every description of Tallow have advanced
Is 6d to 2s per cwt. On the spot, new Y. C. is worth 46s to
46s 6d, and for forward delivery on or before the 31st De-
cember, 45s to 45s 6d. The quotation of Town Tallow is
below its value. There are letters in from St. Petersburgh
this.morning. The price there was very firm, and the ship-
ments are 70,000 casks, against 83,000
to the same date last
year.

THE DOOMED KING.—The king was not, as a
man, venal and despicable. It should not be said that
he fell through his worthlessness or personal climes.
It should be for his political offences that he was ra-
tionally adjudged. And never was there prince in whom
the ancient assertion, " He whom Gud means to destroy,
be first drives mad," seemed more fully realised.
Amiable and religious in his natural disposition, he had
been educated in such principles of duplicity, and such
ideas of kingly prerogative, that he exhibited the
strangest mixture of directness of purpose and disregard
of all truth that ever met in the same human being. He
was truly the martyr of royalty; God seemed to have
blinded his eyes, and to have hardened his heart, like that
of Pharaoh, to deliver him up as the great victim of arbi-
trary principles. He had the air of a sacrifice from his
youth; and when Vandyke painted his portrait to send
to Bernini in Rome for the execution of his bust, that
artist started at the view of it, and declared the posses.
sor of that face born to destruction. In Vandyke's four
celebrated paintings of him, we see him riding, as it
were, on the path of his gloomy destiny. A melancholy,
deep and fixed as death, reigns in his whole form and in
every feature; and on that path he went, not with a
wild impetuosity, but with a solemn, desperate, and
downcast hardihood, blind to all the signs in heaven and
on earth, the most wretched and incorrigible of mtn.—

DARING STREET ROBBERY.-011 Saturday after-
aeon Mr. Lalla, of 9, Castle-street, Long-acre, was pass-
through Argyle-street, Regent-street, when he was
irobed of his pocket-book, containing an I 0 U for .5/.,
bill on Alexander Brunswick for 300 f., and other valu-
able papers. The robbery is alleged to have been com-
mitted by a young man whom Mr. Lalla immediately
afterwards seized, but the delinquent was rescued from
bias tad escaped.

BANKRUPTC Y.-(THIS DAY.)
.(BAbre Mr. Commissioner SitEr3r.r.ll).)
IN RE SAMPSONOWYNNE.
Sri th's case;.vvoieli was under the Small Dett4 Act, an
attorney's clerk app ied to the Learned Commissioner
under the following creurnstances:—He stated that an
order of commitment had been granted by Mr. Commis-
sioner Evans, under the Small Debts Ace, against the
defendant; but it was with great difficulty he could ever
be seen, as he was always denied. On Saturday the
officers saw him, and endeavoured to make a captie n, but
the defendant got away. This morning they went
to the house, and were referred to a person who
answered to the defendant's name, and from their
previous view of him, they had no hesitation' in
tak ng him off to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. It was,
however, discovered that they had taken the defendant's
brother, and they were so much alike that it was with
difficulty they could be distinguished. Although the
mistake was beyond al doubt, the Governor of the gaol
refused to discharge his prisoner, except under an order
from this Court •
The Learned COMMISSIONER referred to the Act, and
said that he had no power to interfere; he could only
grant it on an admission being made by the plaintiff or
his attorney, on the back of the order, that the debt and
costs had been paid.
The Clerk asked whether the Governor would not be
justified in discharging his prisOner Kithout an order, or,
in fact, whether he could legally detain him, as he was not
the party mentioned in the order.
The Learned ComairssbaNna said he could give no
advice; they must use their own discretion.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
A middle-aged man named Merry, was charged with
stealing an inkstand from the Court of Common Pler.s,
Guildhall, where the Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, is
now carrying on the revision of the City Registration.
The prisoner was stopped by a policeman when in the
act of quitting the Court with his prize. He acknow-
ledged his guilt, to which he said he was driven by
want, an assertion evidently contradicted by the re-
spectability of his dress and appearance. Finding that
the excuse made little impression, he took another
ground, and said that he committed the theft " in obedi-
ence to a sudden impulse which he could not resist. He
had never felt such a sensation before." The latter ct n-
cession excited some laughter. He was ultimately re-
manded to Wednesday, that inquiries may be made into
his character. It may be observed that a little sharper
looking after such persons in the public courts and
offices is much wanted.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Michael Murphy, a tailor, living at No. 6, St. Ann's-
court, Soho-square, was charged this morning with as-
saulting complainant with scissors.
John King said the defendant came home this morn
ing, between three and four o'clock, and pulled all the
bed-clothes off him. lie got up, and asked him what
he meant by that, when he struck him a severe blow.
The defendant then pulled out a pair of large scissors,
and stuck them into his nose. He pulled them out, and
with one of the blades made a deep gash in his arm about
an inch and a half long. The complainant resisted him,
and, in attempting to twist the scissors from bis grasp,
had his hand cut across.
• The police constable who took him into custody said
the complainant was bleeding much at the nose, and
there was a deep ugly gash on his arm.
The defendant said he found the bed-room dcor
locked, and it was not unfasten( d for a long time after
he knocked. The complainant also had cut him with
the scissors.

The MAGISTRATE said he had used a very dangerous
weapon, and he would fine him V., or send him to prison
for six weeks.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
John M'Cartney was brought before Mr. Broughton,
charged with creating a mob, and violently assaulting the
police.

- 201 G stated that, on Saturday night last, about half-
past ten o'clock, he was on his beat in Horseshoe alley,
L'horeditch, when he saw the prisoner in a most (x-
-citeable
.in the midst of about sixty persons. Wit-
ness desired him to go home. Prisoner refused, but
witness, thinking that he would be quiet, walked off, but
as he was proceeding be suddenly received two tre-
mendous blows on the neck from the prisoner, who then
fastened on him, and both fell to the ground. Prisoner
then commenced kicking and biting witness, and, he be-
lieved, he would scarcely have escaped with his life, had
not a brother police-constable come up to his assistance.
The prisoner was then secured, but not without the ut-
most difficulty.
This statement being corroborated,
Mr. BnotronTox said that the police must be pro-
tected from such ruffians as the prisoner, otherwise they
were of no use. He should commit him for three weeks
to gaol, with hard labour.

Church-yard. The funeral was strictly private, for,
with the exception of Joseph Sturge, Esq., who
arrived unexpectedly, none but relatives took part
in the ceremony. Several gentlemen from Ipswich
and the neighbourhood were, however, present
to testify their respect for the memory of the
venerable philanthropist, and their sympathy for the
bereaved widow and fatnily. The funeral cortege, con-
sisting of the hearse, drawn by four horses, and four
mourning coacheJ, each drawn by two horses, left Play-
ford Hall a few minutes past one o'clock. In the first
coach, which preceded the hearse, were Arthur
Biddell, Esq , and J. D. Harmer, Esq. In the
coach following the hearse were Thomas Clarkson,
&el , grandson of the deceased gentleman, chief
mourner, the Rev. W. Dickinson, Mrs. Dickinson, the
Rev. Foster Maynard, and Mrs. Dyce. The next con-
John
tained Robert Buck, Esq' Alexander Haldane, Esq.,
were J. Co bent
H, Eard cassq., and Mrs. Corsbie. In the last
A. tle, Esq., and Joseph &urge,
R.q. The procession was closed with the pri-
vate carriage of Mr. Clarkson, followed by the
domestics of the establishment. As soon as the
outer gate of the domain was reached, the car-
riage of R. N. Shawn, Esq., with that gentleman inside,
fell into the line of procession, which was further
increased by the addition of the gentlemen
from the neighbourhood. In this order they
proceeded through the village to the churchyard,
passing, at every point, groups of the inhabi-
tants, whose respectful demeanour was a most gra-
tifying feature in the scene. Arrived at the church-
yard, some little time was occupied in drawing the coffin
from the hearse, owing to its great weight, and the
mourners having alighted, and entered the consecrated
ground, they were headed by the Rev. T. D. West,
Vicar of Rushmere, who read the beautiful burial service
of the Church of England most impressively. The
family vault, in which rest the remains of Thos. Clark-
son, Esq., barrister, the deceased's son, whose death oc-
curred in 1837, is situate near the door, in the south
side of the chancel. The coffin, containing besides a
shell and a leaden coffin, and covered with plain black
cloth, with a silver plate on the top, having the name of
the deceased and the dates of his birth and death en-
graved thereon, having been lowered Jnto the vault, the
family returned to the Hall, and the spectators shortly
afterwards dispersed. The funeral was under the super-
intendence of Mr. Ray and Mr. Maplestone, of Ipswich.

THEATRE ROYAL DRURY•LANE.
Mr. Buun commenced his campaign here on Satur-
day night, with the opera of The (!rusaders, and the
new ballet of The OSVring qf the Flowers, of which
the sylphlike Flora Fabbri is the heroine. The plot
of the ballet is soon told. Estelle (Madame Theresa
Theodore) is about to be married to Prince Julian,
(Mons. Theodore), with the consent of her father the
Duke (Mr. Howell), but there is a certain Page,
Enrico (Mons. Bretin), who loves the fair Estelle,
and in consequence of his love is expelled from the
castle. The rejoicings for the nuptials go on, and
there is here introduced an excellent pas d'ensemble
by the corps de ballet, and a pas de deux by the be-
trothed, in which Mons. and Madame Theodore were
much applauded. The exiled page is conveyed to
Fairy Land, none of the denizens of which seem in-
clined to pay any attention to the forlorn lover. The
Queen, however, takes pity on his case, and from a
flower raises a Nymph, who is the very perfection of
his earthly love. The budding and blowing of this
beautiful flower is admirably managed, and when
Ersile (Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri), the very
ideal of love, stands before him he forgets
his mortal love, and is fascinated by her trans-
cendental antitype. Here is introduced a pas by
Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri, somewhat resembling one
of the dances of the Viennoise children, which almost
induces him to forget the Princess ; and then comes
a pas de sehalls, in which the fair offspring of the
flowers completely fascinates him, as she does the
audience, for it was rapturously and most deservedly
applauded. Never did Flora Fabbri dance more ex-
quisitely. Then comes the pas de glace, a dance on
the ice, by Flora Fabbri, in which she sees her
shadow reflected in the iced surface, a la Cerito, in
the pas de l'ombre. In the second act we are
again introduced to the court of the Duke—great
rejoicings are going on at the marriage of the Prin-
cess. The page is there, but completely cured of his
love for the mere mortal. There is a prize, inscribed
"To the most graceful." The page enters
leading in the Offspring of the Flowers ; Flora Fabbri
dances La Castigliana, an exquisite castanet dance,
and the prize is awarded to her by acclamation. Thus
ends this ballet, the pearl chain running through and
stringing into one the pearls,which consist of the various
pas of which it is composed, and which, if they could
be brought nearer together by judicious condensation,
would make it, perhaps, one of the most popular
ballets that has ever been produced. M. and Madlle.
Theodore (who made their debut last night) are ex-
cellent choareographic artistes ; but Flora Fabbri is
the diesse—upon her fell the whole weight of the
ballet, and nobly did she sustain it. There was a
freshness about her dancing that was perfectly de-
lightful. Considering the great call there was upon
her physical powers, it must have been to her
a labour, but it was a labour of love.
She danced because dancing was to her a
language—the only language in which she could
adequately express her sentiments. It was for
her a perfect triumph. The success of the ballet was
complete, and it will run, no doubt, during the whole
of Flora Fabbri's engagement. The theatre has been
completely renovated during the recess, and a new
drop-scene, by Grieve, was exhibited for the first
time. It is very brilliant and admirable as a speci-
men of scene painting, but scarcely equal to the drop •
scene of Acis and Galatea, from the pencil of Stan-
field, which has been exhibited for the last—we will
not say how many seasons. It is, no doubt, now
"used up ;" last season it exhibited evident symp-
toms of decay, and Mr. Bunn has shown his taste in
giving us an entirely new scene in preference to
vamping up the old drop-scene (however exquisitely
painted) of Stanfield. Before the commencement of

the opera the National Anthem was sung by the ;hole
corps operatiquc. The house was crowded to the
ceiling.

DR, BOWRING IN THE ISLE

OF MAN.
We have received a recent number of itionu's Herald,
which details with great minuteness the festivities which
have been got up at Douglas, in celebration of a visit of
our distinguished fellow townsman, the Hon. M.P. for
Bolton. This visit, in which the Learned Gentleman
was accompanied by his son, the Earl of Clarendon's
secretary, was intended to have been private; but the
natives, who regard him as " their Island's best friend,"
and are grateful for his exertions in procuring their
municipal, legal, and commercial emancipation, were in
a fervent heat of expectation at the news of his arrival—
thronged the pier, went out in delegation-
boats to receive him from the Liverpool steamer,
and surrounded his barouche upon the pier, where
he addressed them, and again at Castle Mona. -in the
evening bonfires and fireworks were displayed. The
next day (Friday 18th) Dr. Bowring proceeded to
Castle-town, and had an interview with Governor
Hope. Several deputations waited upon him, respecting
the harbour funds, highways registration, and other in-
sular affairs. The next day he visited Ramsey, where
he was entertained at a public dinner, W. Callister,
Esq., in the chair. On Monday, there was a dinner in
the Odd Fellows' Hall, Douglass, Colonel Campbell
of Raversdale in the chair. " The landowners
present" represented ten thousand acres of lanfl.
l'he health of Dr. Bowring was given and responded
to in an impressive speech ; the health of Mrs. Bow-
ring and family was acknowledged by Mr. E. Bowring,
who proposed " the Ladies of Mona." 1)r. Bowring
proposed the toast, "Popular Representation in the
House of Keys," In the course of his speech he said,
" Here are in this island 50,000 people ; and it is impos-
sible they can continue longer without a voice in making
their laws—they can no longer be governed by a -self-
elected body. We do not want the insular government
merge in that of England ; but this is what we want, to
have load rights and local interests controlled by local
bodies, representing the people. I respect the claim
which the Manx people make for their local institutions;
but I would have them assimilated to the intelligence
of the age. I hope the laws will still be proclaimed on
Tynwald Hill; but when the representative of Majesty
shall go there to Twynwald, carryieg his act to be pro-
claimed, I want him to be able to say " This law was
made by yourselves—made through the representatives
of the public sentiment, and the will of the people."
The present state of things is absolutely intolerable. It
is not credible—it would not be believed elsewhere
that the advocates who may have been employed in the
process or cause sit as judges to hear the cause on ap-
peal ; besides, the blending of tha legislative, executive,
and judicial powers can be endured no longer. When
I mentioned the fact to one high in authority, of advo-
cates sitting as judges, lie seemed not to know the ex-
istence of the fact, and doubted its truth—well he might.
The public indignation will be aroused on hearing of
usage, and it will not be tolerated—it shall no be to:e-
rated—it shall be rertioved."— Western Times.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYO:a.
(THIS DAY.)
CLOSE OF THB SIXTH DAY'S POLL.
The interest token in this election by the Livery of
London seems to increase as it approaches the con-
cluSion of the poll. The Livery Lave- done their work
manfully to. day, and have placed Alderman Wood in a
position from which no one can entertain any doubt of
his success. Bills and placards around the Guilhall are as
thick, to use a common phrase, as blackberries. We.
cannot refrain from selecting the following from amongst
them:—

" Livtry of London—Who is it that now • stands for-
ward to oppose you and Alderman Wood? No less a
man than Mr. Anderton. Now read is own opinion of
,kld(rrnan Wood in 1844:—‘ I have for some years
watched the worthy Aldo' man as a pirate individual,
as a magistrate, and as a professional man,
and I v,ill defy any one to put a finger
,Ipon any one act.--dishonourable to him, either
as a magistrate,_ a Solicitor, or a private individual.
fti till the relations of life there is not a single act which
itts,.tnetnies have ever pointed against itim.• No man has
preormed the sevcral duties of the corporation with
more credit or honour: Come up then to the hustings
mcl poll for Alderman Wood."

At three o'clock the poll closed, and at half-past three
the following was announced to be the state of the poll:
Mr. Alderman Wood
Sir George Carroll
Mr. Alderman Hooper 2BB
Mr. Alderman Muon
Mr. Alderman Farocomh .
The announcement was received with great cheering.
Mr.BENNOCH then came forward to address the Livery,
and after passing a high eulogium on Alderman Wood,
concluded by stating that ha he adopted the course
that many would have done, and, in fact, that many had
done, instead of being stigmatised, he would have been
praised.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WILKINSON then came forward to address the
Livery, and in a most humourous speech, in which the
Court of Alderman was not spared, and the Livery in-
structed how to perform their duty, he called upon every
man present to perform his duty, and secure the election
of Alderman Wood.
Mr, Alderman WOOD then came forward to address
the Livery, and was received with the most enthusiastic
cheers. Ha again, in the most positive terms, denied
the charge that had been made against him—
entered most fully into the statement thet had been
made by Mr. Anderton, and concluded by calling upon
the Livery to support him and their own independence.
After some observations from Mr. Holt, the Court
adjourned to to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—We have received intelli-
gence from our correspondent at Dunclrum Bay, that,
on Saturday morning, the first effort was made to get
the Great Britain afloat, but it was entirely unsuccess-
ful. Two steam-tugs were made fast to her, but they
could not move her. It is to be hoped that suceeeding
efforts, with higher tides, will be more successful.—

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE SOUTH-EASTERN AND COUNTY OF
KENT.—MEETING AT SEVENOAKS.
SEVENOAKS, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A public
fleeting of the inhabitants of S, venoalis and the neigh-
bourhood was held this afternoon, to take into considera-
tion the recent policy of the South-Eastern Company, in
the matter of the increase of the fares on their line, and
also for the purpose of considering what steps Should be
taken to secure the most direct and cheapest line of rail-
way communication with the metropolis. Amongst the
leading persons present were the Marquis of Camden,
Lord Holmesdale, the Right Hon. J. C. lierries, Mr.
Mildmay, Mr. Lambard, Mr. Petley, Mr. Hussey, Mr.
Adams, Captain Nepean, Captain Gordon, Captain Ran-
dolph, Mr. J. P. Atkins, the Rev. J. Austen, Rev. T.
Wilgress, Mr. W. Holcroft, Mr. T. Carvell, Rev. Mr.
Bloxam, Mr. Tonge, Mr. John Ellis, Mr. H. Hughes,
Mr. Briggs, Mr. Peat, Dr. Gellatly, Dr. Harris, Mr.
Golding, Mr. Nonaile, the Rev. T. S. Curtis, Rev. Mr.
Onslow, Rev. Mr. Repton, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Colman,
Rev. Mr. Burton, Mr. Mager, &c. It was stated that
Earl Amherst, who was in Wales, and Earl Stanhope,
in Scotland, both concurred in the objects of the
meeting.
The Marquis of CAMDEN having taken the chair and
Gpened the business of the meeting,
Mr. lIOLCROFT said, that in consequence of sugges-
tions he had received from Lord Amherst and others, he
had forwarded a notice of the intended meeting to the
solicitors of the South-Eastern, and London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway Companies, in order that they
might attend it. He believed that some gentlemen con-
nected with the latter company had arrived, but he un-
derstood that no one appeared for the South-Eastern
Company, neither had any answer whatever been received
from them, or any notice taken of bis communication.
From what had transpired at the meeting held at Can-
terbury, on Monday last, it was understood that the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Company had al-
ready directed surveys of a line to be made.
The meeting having expressed a wish to have some
information with regard to the plans proposed by that
company, an invitation to attend was sent to the deputa-
tion from the company, and Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, the
deputy chairman, Mr. Burchell, one or the solicitors, and
Mr. Sherrard, the engineer, immediately attended. The
Noble Chairman having called the attention of the depu-
Lion to the objects of the meeting,
Mr. WILKINSON said that the engineer being present
with him, that gentleman could give the fullest informa-
tion as to the engineering detitils of the line now pro-
posed. The circumstances under which the Mid Kent
Atmospheric project had been defeated in the last ses-
sion had induced the projectors to improve the line of last
year. He had not attended for the purpose of giving
any pledges of what the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Company intended to do. What he had to com-
municate must necessarily be more historical than pro-
phetical, as he had received the invitation to attend this
meeting only late last evening, on his return to town, so
was not in a wthiatht hheishcaodllensogtuhesa,danaldlycoonpspeogrstuesntilt
jy. of communicating
posi-
tion to speak upon the authority. of the board. He
could, however, state that instructions had bee.' given
to survey the best lines that could be had between Lon

don and Tunbridge, and branching' off through Maidstone
to Canterbury. lle then adverted to the breach of faith
committed by the South-Eastern Company, and contended
that their previous reduction of fares had influenced the
minds of the Committee of the House of Commons in
their favour, and against the competing line of the Atmo-
spheric Company, whose Bill was rejected, though it
offered a maximum rate of fares still lower. lle then
entered into an Exposition of his well-known views with
regard to the policy of charging low fares to the public,
asserting that low fares and ample accommodation were
most advantageous to all parties concerned.—(Hear.)
After deprecating the raising of fares for the purpose of
obtaining a mere temporary profit without regard to the
permanent interest of shareholders, he referred to the
proposals made last year by the Atmospheric Company
in this respect, and reminded the meeting that if them
p: oposals had been unanimously supported by the land-
owners of the county in a more decithd manner, there
would not have been any necessity for their meeting
together as cn the present occasion.—(hear.) llis col-
leagues at the board of the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railway had determined to prosecute a scheme
which would be an improvement tivn that of last ses-
sion, and it only remained for the landowners of the
county of Kent to decide upon
giving their support to it
in such a way as would secure for it a favourable recep-
tion before Parliament in the next session.. .

nany, the requisitionists had deputed him to tender their
support to any company who who would undertake to
make a direct line from London to Dover—viz., through
M Bromley to Sevenoaks and Tunbridge, and through.
aidstone, Sittingbourne, Favershi..m, Canterbury
to Dover, and hc was only to happy toand find that their
wishes Nvere• likely to be realised by the scheme now
proposed by the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway.
explanation-given •by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr.
The Right lion. J. C. linntaEs said, that having
heard the
Sherrard, it now became necessary to propose some re-
solution. For his own part he thought that Mr. Wil-
kinson's statement was extre
considered the ly. s
question in all
its bearings as affecting the general requirements of the
country, and especially their immediate and local wants,
which, as far as they were concerned, were the Most im-
portant after all. The Light Honourable Gentleman
concluded by proposiug the following resolution,:_
" That
~ a line of railway from London., or from the
Croydon Railway through Bromley and Scvenoaks,
to Tunbridge,. will be in every respect the most
advantageous for the interests orthn public in general,
and of the county in particular. 'hat the line proposed
to be executed by the London and Brighton and South
Coast Railway appears to us to be better calculated to
secure these advantages, and to serve the interests and
convenience of Sevenoaks and its neighbourhood, than
any other plan that has been hitherto proposed."
Mr. W. LAS 113.111; of Beechmont, seconded the reso-
lution.
• .
The Noble CIIAinmAN, before putting the resolution,
expressed his regret that he should be the only one pre-
sent who entertained opinions in any way at lariance
with those of the meeting. He was always anxious, if
possible, to think with his neighbours, but in this matter
he must differ from them ; for he thought they had not
considered sufficiently the extreme improbability that
Parliame:lt would sanction any other lines next session
than those proposed by the South-Eastern Company.
The Noble Marquis then put the resolution to the meet-
ing, Which was carried by acclamation.
On the motion of Mr. HERRIES, seconded by Mr WILKINSON, a vote of thauks was passed to the Chairman

Mr. SIIERRARD, the enoineer, produced his plans, and
entered into a number of details and explanations upon
matters of a local nature,

The CHAIRMAN asked if they would have the same
tunnels'as last year?
Mr. SHERRARD said they would, but they would have
better gradients. . _ _

The-CumumAN—llave you not abandoned the atmo-
spheric principle?
Mr. SHERRARD—YeS; or rather they had abandoned
the atmospheric gradients. The line would be laid out
as most favourable fur locomotive traction. The gra-
dients were decidedly better than those of last year, and
the line would be shorter. With respect to Maidstone,
that town would practically be placed on the main line
as far as the convenience of the public was concerned.
Every train up and down would stop at the Maidstone
station.

OPENING OF NEW LINES.
The Seamer and Filey Branch cf the Scarborough
Railway was inspected by General Pasley on Thursday
last, and its opening is officially announced to take place
this day (Monday). .
The delay in the opening of the branch line of the
London and North Western Branch to Bedford, from
the junction at Bletchley, has arisen from some subsi-
dence in a portion of the works. It is now finished, and
the opening is finally fixed for the 14th inst.
The Eastern Counties Branch to North Woolwich is
to be completed for public traffic before Christmas next.
The company are having powerful steam bridges, or
ferries, built for the transit of passengers across the
Thames. The line runs along the waterside of the Es-
sex marshes, and branches into the Thames Junction
and the Eastern Counties Colchester main line at the
Stratford staticn. Mr. Samuels is the acting engineer.
The Stamford and Peterborough was publicly opened
on Friday last ; Captain Coddington, the Assistant In-
spector of Railways, having examined the works on the
previous day, in company with Mr. C. P. Roney the
secretary to the Eastern Counties, to whiCh company it
has been leased. It is twelves miles long.
The Hull and Beverley line has also received the
sanction of the Government officers. Its opening takes
place this day (Monday).
IMMENSE CONTRACT FOR IRON.--There is an accre-
dited rumour here, says the Hereford Times, that Sir
John Guest, Bart., Dowlais Iron works,ohas just com-
pleted a contract to supply two hundred thousand tons
of iron rails, at 101. per ton—the total value of which
will be two millions sterling. The same iron, three or
four years ago, would have been sold at from five to six
pounds per ton! It is to be hoped that the operators
throughout these immense works will participate, by a
liberal advance of wages, in the vast profit to arise.
LYNN AND DEREHAM.—The works on this line, be-
tween Narborough and Swaffham, are progressing very
rapidly, under the superintendence of Mr. Hall, the resi-
dent engineer. The contractors for the line, Messrs.
Frost, Fry, and Matthewson, have upwards of 600 men
employed.
LYNN AND ELY.--The first experimental trip on the
Lynn and Ely Railway was performed on Friday from
Ely to Downham. The train conveyed a number of the
directors and their friends. It is expected that the line
will be opened for traffic in a few weeks.
The South-Western have agreed with Mr. Brassy,
the contractor, for the execution of the Fareham branch.
The works will be commenced forthwith. During the
last few days a survey has been made of the property at
Landport, preparatory to the usual notices being given

EXTENSION OF THE NORFOLK STATION AT NORWICH.
Gt
oa at
erwl
oR

The increasing traffic, which is almost every day develop-
ing itself on the Norfolk line, has rendered a considerable
extension of the terminus at Norwich absolutely neces-
sary. The hamlet of Thorpe, with its beautiful meadows
adjacent to the river Wensom, has been within the last
few months completely changed into a bustling village.
Twelve months ago the only hum of occupation heard to
proceed from its quiet street was the monotonous splash of
the mill-wheel as it performed its daily labour; but now
for 50 acres, almost as far as the eye can reach, the
green sward has been cut away, houses and factories
have been erected, and a little city has sprung up, as it
were, by magic. The entire traffic of the capital of
Eastern Anglia, as far as its carrying trade goes, ap-
pears to be concentrated at this place. The quantity
of agricultural produce transmitted from the various
corn-growing districts throughout the county to the
metropolitan markets is also steadily increasing.' During
the last few months 24,432 beasts, 21,500 sheep,
6,272 pigs, and 8,796 tons, or 89,096 quarters, of
grain have been conveyed to the metropolis. The
passenger traffic has likewise considerably increased,
upwards of thirty trains either arrive or depart from
the Thorpe station every day. During the last month
express trains have been running to Louden and back, a
distance of 252 miles, in eight hours and sixteen mi-
nutes. The London morning journals now arrive in
Norwich by twelve o'clock, and at Yarmouth is about an
hour afterwards.

RAILWAY SLEEPERS.—A diversity of practice appear-
ing to have existed on the part of the revenue officers
in the admeasurernent of timbers of irregular dimen•
sions, intended as sleepers for railroad purposes,
the Commissioners of the Customs department have
directed the principles of the revenue at the port
of London, and at the several outports of the Unitsd
Kingdom, to be informed, for the future government
of the officers under their supervision in the matter,
that when the description of wood goods in question do
not exceed two cubic feet in content, the same are to be
taken account of as directed by the seventh section of
the official instructions for the guide of the Customs'
timber measurers, viz., to take the length, height, and
width of the pile, to the full extent in feet and inches,

Other questions having been put and replied to by
Mr. Sherrurd,

The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Carnell, the agent for the
South-Eastern Company, if he had any communication
to make to the meeting?
Mr. CARNELL said he had not received any instructions,
and had no authority to make any statement; but as he
knew what were the boni2 fide intentions of the South-
Eastern Company, he could assure the meeting that the
company would prosecute a line next session, similar in

South-Eastern Company, ho considered that as the at-

tional part ; that when they exceed two feet, and do not
exceed five feet in content, thry are to be treated in
conformity with the 17th and 23d sections of the said
instructions, viz....to take the length to the quarter of
. .

a foot, and the breadth and thickness, at the middle o

the piece, to a quarter of an inch, including, in
each separate content, every fractional part amounting
to the tenth of a cubic foot; and that when exceeding
five feet in content, and not exceeding ten feet in length,
and being eight inches square, and roundwodd, nine
inches in diameter and upwards, the same are to be
dealt with agreeably to the board's general order, issued
in April last, viz., that with resgect to the recent im-
portation of wood of irregular form, being eight
inches square and upwards, the admeasurement of
which had not previously been provided for by any
existing order, the following regulations be adopted:—
viz., that timber and wood, eight inches square and up-
wards, and not exceeding ten feet in length ; and rounll
wood nine inches in diameter and upwards, not exceeding
ten feet in length, be measured in the following manner—
viz., the length of each piece to half a loot, and the
breadth and thickness of square, and the diameter of
round timber to a quarter of an inch, the content being
computed to half a foot, with directions to the officers
strictly to govern themselves according to this rule. As
this description of wood is now being imported to a very
great extent, especially from Canada and other of the
British provinces of North America, for the particular
purposes to-which it is applied, and which is likely, in
consequence of the large amount of railway operations
in progress and in embryo throughout the kingdom, to
continue to be the case, the mode in which the official

account for the duties is in future to be taken will be in
teresting and of importance.

Mr. CARNELL had Mr. Sherrard's authority for this
statement. _

DEATH OF THE BARON DE BODE.—The Baron de
Bode, whose claims on the British Government to a sum
of money, amounting to nearly a million, have so long
been before the public, died on Friday evening, at ten
minutes past nine o'clock, at his residence, 18, Grove-
end-road, St. John's Wood. The death of the Baron

was quite sudden, After taking a glass of water, he
was observed to louk pale and be tremulous, and in a
few moments more fell down and instantly expired.
He had been complaining of illness for nine or ten days
previously, brought on, it was supposed by his family,
by mental anxiety in connexion with the further hearing
of his case, which is appointed for next month ; but the

illness was not at any time deemed such as .to cause
any anxiety, and he had so far recovered on the day
previous to his death, that his medical adviser suggested
to him the propriety of taking an airing in the carriage.
The Baron was in his seventieth year. Though his
means were comparatively limited, he kept two car-
riages and several servants. lie has left three sons, the
eldest of whom has been abroad for some time, but is
on his way home, Their ages vary from twenty to
thirty. The relatives of the Baron ascribe his death
to the anxiety of mind consequent on the continued
prosecution of his claims.

SUBMARINE RAILWAYS.—.Mr. De la Hue, after
the reading of a paper " On Ancient and Modern Modes
of Travelling," at the Liverpool Polytechnic Society, on
Monday, in which he expatiated upon the advantages of
railway transit, and expressed his belief that, by-and-by
a daily communication would be e tablished between
China, India, and London, by means of the electric tele-
graph, alluded to his invention of submarine railways.
Mr. De la Haye's plan is to construct an immense iron
tube, to be lowered from above, and rivetted together by
means of the diving-bell. When completed, rails are to
be laid down, and locomotives, unaffected by external
influences, are to career beneath the bosom of the deep.
His theory is, that the violence of the most violent storms
is not felt lower than twenty feet below the surface, and
that the pressure of the water, together with the accu-
mutation of sand, &c., would retain the tube in the post
tion in which it might be placed, Mr, Pr la live is a

HOSTILfTIES.

The following is a translation of a dispatch from
Senor Amon to General Mansilla, cotamandmg the bat-
, teries at San Lorenzo on the .Parv-p;!:
" His Excellency the Governor, in referenco to your
note has ordered the nndersigned to state to your
Ex-
cellency in reply, that Thin-nos S. Ilcod, -aq., has in
fact arrived in this city, accredited confidential ty by the
Government of her Britannic Majesty to that of the Ar-
genuine Confederation, on a special mission for ;the ar-
rangement of the pending differences in the River Plate.
The dignified and honourable course which the Govern-
ments of England and France have adopted, the import:
ant friendly explanations which their envoy has trans-
mitted to this Government, and the satisfactory guaran-
tees which the Governor attributes to the said Mr. flood,
on account of his former dignified conduct in the repub-
lics, call for a corresponding course on the part or the
Confederation,-and that its Government sheuld testify
to its specific views, and to the sincere friendship with
which it is animated towards those high Powers.
" Under such circumstances his Excellency the Go-
verner orders that your lbecellency, with the forces
under your command will not take any hostile step
against the.merchant vessels which remain at Corientes,
and may be returning, nor against the Anglo-French'
vessels of war %hick which may go up or down the

same spirit as hitherto.
" His Excellency will modify these instructions ac-
cording to circumstances, and should such become neces-

EXPOSURE OF HUMAN REMAlNS.—Throughout the
whole of yesterday, the greatest excitement and disgust
pervaded the neighbourhood of the Caledonian road,
Islington, Maiden-lane, and King's-cross, en the disco-
very of a large quantity of human bones and
pieces of coffins exposed in the public thorough-
fares of these localities, under circumstances of
a most suspicious and mysterious character. The
secresy observed in bringing the remains to the various
spots has been such as almost entirely to prevent
the detection of the parties who have been .guilty of
this gross act. In Albion-street, a new street running
from the Wharf-road, Maiden-lane, to the Caledonian -
road, a cart-load of earth, &c., was shot on Saturday in
the middle of the road, which is in the course of con-
struction, and emitted a most disgusting effluvium, l.ut
was not noticed to contain the remains of human beings.
The stench caused an examinatisn to be made, and seve-
ral other portions of coffins half rotted, and human
bones were found. In Bath-street an River-street, two
new streets in the course of formation on the north side
of the Regent's Canal, a more disgusting proceeding
has been resorted to—upwards of three waggon loads
of black earth, intermingled with 'human bones,
have been deposited in these streets, and men
have been employed to sift the earth for the
purpose of mixing portions of it with lime. The bones
left in the sieve, composing all parts of the human frame,
were thrown on one side and partially buried under clay.
The stench arising is of a most dreadful description, No
one can tell where the bones, &c., have been brought
from, nor who are the parties concerned. The reporter
was present at the various spots, and saw leg and arm
bones and portions of human skulls thrown about in all
directions. Whet the police could have been about in
allowing such a proceeding to take place without inter-
ference is asked by every one, as it is stated that two
cart loads of the black earth, &c., were deposited in
River-street yesterday morning at two o'clock.
THE 'WELLINGTON STATUE. •-••••• The manner in
which Mr. M'Cullum, boatswain of the Woolwich Dock •
yard, and the riggers under fit direction, accomplished
the raising of the great weight of this statue, has sur-
prised many persons, but Mr. ;.:'Cullum does not
consider the feat more that an ordinary task, as he would
have no hesitation in undertaking to raise a body of
one hundred tons weight to a similar height of one hun•
dred and five feet, which the base on which the eques-
trian statue of the Duke of Wellington now stands
is from the ground. The work of raising the
statue was accomplished by forty-four men, eight at
each of the four "crabs" for coiling the ropes, two
holding on, and one at each stopper. Some idea of the
strength of the framework may be formed, when it is
computed that it supported a weight of about ninety tons
at a height of upwards of 105 feet from the ground.
This is ascertained by calculating the weight of the
statue, the ropes and tackling, and the number of per-
sons, of whom there were always upwards of sixty, in-
ducing strangers, on the scaffolding, until the statue was
raised to its proper position. So excellently were all
the parts adjusted, that four men, with two single
ropes, moved the statue backwards and forwards
on the tramway, when Mr. Wyatt adjusted it on the
Thursday after it was raised to the top of the arch. The
framework required 250 loads of timber, the whole of
which was supplied by Woolwich Dockyard,, and the ex-
pease of ironwork and labour, including the cart iage,
exceeds 5001., and with the timber the total expense of
raising the statue will exceed 9001. Admiral Byham
Martin, Vice Admiral Matson, Commodore William
Henry Sheriff, late Captain Superintendent of Chatham
Dockyard, and a number of naval and military officers,
sisited the statue since it has been placed on the top of
the arch, and expressed their entire approbation of the
way in which the whole of the arrangements were made
and into execution.
EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF THE OVERLAND
ROUTE TO INDIA, AND THE WHOLE EASTERN ARCHI•
PELAGO.—We believe that we can safely affirm that the
East India Company have given their sanction to a line
of railway across the southern continent of India, with
the view of facilitating our intercourse with the East,
with China, and with our Austealian possessions. The
forthcoming report of Mr. Simms suggests the necessity
of intersecting the presidencies of Madras and Bombay
by a line of railway, and thus bringing within a month
or six weeks journey to England the most distant pos-
sessions in the southern hemisphere. If this project be
carried out, it will change the commerce of the whole
world, and consolidate our vast and scattered fragments
of empire into something like a tangible whole. To
reach China in one month, Australia in six weeks, red
to traverse the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and the
vast sweep of waters in the southein hemisphere in the
same space of time, may truly be said to be a grand and
gigantic scheme.
Sir Robert and Lady Peel have arrived at Drayton
Manor, from town, after visiting her Majesty at Windsor
Castle. The Right Hon. Baronet's mansion in White-
hall-garlens is undergoing a course of thorough repair.
THE IRON TRADE.—BlEmmourAm, SATURDAY.—
In anticipation of the usual quarterly meetings about to
take place, it appears that the ironmasters of South
Staffordshire, have held a preparatory meeting at
Dudley, and after maturely weighing every circumstance
connected with the trade, particularly in reference to
the anticipated demand for rails, and to the operation of
the New American Tariff, resolves unanimously not to
advance the prices, but continue them at the ensuing
quarter at the same rate as the past, viz., bars and rods,
101. per ton; hoops, 10/. 10s.; sheets (single), 11/. 10s.;
and in other descriptions, in the usual proportion.
iIi'EARFUL ACCIDENT AT A BREWERY.—OnSa-
turday afternoon, between the hours of five and six
o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character, and
which it is feared will prove fatal, occurred to a man
named Edward Windsor, a bricklayer, who was engaged
at work at Messrs. Harrison's, the extensive brewers,
in the Hampstead-road. The unfortunate man was at
the period in question on the top of the building, and
by some unaccountable means lost his footing and fell
into a well, from a height of above 250 feet. He was
conveyed in a cab to the London University College
Hospital, when it was ascertained by the house sur-
geon that he had sustained a broken leg, fractured
both arms, and other serious injuries, so as to leave no
hopes of his final recovery.
WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL—On Saturday afternoon
a meeting of the medical and managing committee of the
Westminster Hospital was held at the institution, near
Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of commencing
the winter session of the school of medicine, and on
other business. Mr. Erichsen took the chair, and after
wards delivered the introductory medical address to a
very full court. From the report of Mr. J. Wilson, the
secretary, it appears that since the establishment of the
Westminster Hospital, in 1719, it has afforded the re-
quired relief to upwards of 323,000 patients. During
the past year the number of in-patients amounted to
1,580, hissing, since the establishment of the hospital,
progressively increased from 771 annually to that num-
ber: the out-patients were upwards of 8,400, of which
it is stated 5,689 were accidents and urgent cases, ad-
mitted without letters of recommendation at all hours.
The number of inmates at present maintained is 164;
namely, 77 males, and 87 females. Four wards, capable
of receiving 60 more patic its, are now vacant, in conse-
quence of the financial position of the charity not justi-
fying the governors re-opening them.
ST. MICHAEL'S .MOUNT.—It is rutnoured among
the different circles of society in the west of this county,
that our most gracious and beloved Sovereign has offered
55,000/. for St. Michael's Mount, but that the sum asked
is 75,0001. Western Times.
TRUE BENEVOLENCE.---At the meeting of the
Ballinsloe Union Agricultural Society, on Tuesday, Sir
M. D. Bellew, Bart., on being awarded a prize for the
best drainage of a certain number of acres, said he de-
served no credit whatever on the occasion ; the merit
was entirely due to his son, who, when the distress be-
came so prevalent in the country, resolved to abandon a
tour which he was about to make through Greece and
Turkey, in order to expend the money which his journey
would have cost him in giving employment to a number
of poor people in cerrying on this drainage. This_a.n-
nouneement was received with loud applause.—ls sat

CRICKET.
CLARKE AND BUTLER V. HUNT AND BALDWINSON.-4
This was the return match between these parties, and
as in the instance of the preceding contyst, terminated in
favour of the Manchester player:. Indeed the two men
of Nottingham did not stand ally chance thronglihnt. It
was played on the ground of the Manchester Club,
Moss-lane, about three miles Out or the town—the self-
same spot whereon the late England and Manchester
match came off. The innings were as follows :-180
balls, 125 hits for 10 runs ; 117 balls, 74 hits for 12 runs.
Manchester hence won by 66 runs.
CHALLENGE TO Mn. A. MYNN.—Whibit this gentle-
man was playing his match with Mr. Felix, at Brumley,
he received a challenge from Hunt, of .Manchester, to the
effect that he would play him at single wicket fur 50t.
a-side. Mynn, however, had previously determined
not to play any more matches after that with Mr. Felix
during the present year, and consequently forwarded a.
reply to that effect, accompanied with an intimation, thaC
next season he should. be willing to play him for any
sum from 100/. to 5004 a-side.
SURREY U. MIDDLESEX.—This match was played on Moulsey Hurst, a spot which muny years since, espe-
cially in the earlier part of Lord F: Be:owlet:les career--,
indeed, it was at this place that his Lordship maple his
public ~..ricketing delnit—was that whereon most of the
county of Surrey conflicts were fought ; and conse-
quently, to those who lived in those days the present
match was one of much interest. Surrey, as in days or
yore, were the victors upon the first innings, and:when
night put a close to the game, they had nine wickets to
go down for eleven runs.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WAUDDY.—We extremely
regret to have to record this week ono of the
moat extensive conflagrations of farm property which
has taken place in the East Riding of Yorkshire for very
many years. The, sufferer is Mr. James Watson, of
Waudby, about ten miles to the west of Hull, and four
east from South Cave, a gentleman who has long been
known throughout England and on the Continent, for
the superior character of his horned cattle and sheep.
There appears to be not the slightest doubt that this
great destruction of property is the work of an incen-
diary. Fourteen stacks, containing the whole of the
wheat and hay, and nearly the .entire crops of an exten-
sive farm, were enveloped and surrounded by roar,ot
flames. The large oat stack had been removed, 4rd tha
further progress of the fire in that direction arrested. it
was between three and four o'clock when the fire might
be said to be thoroughly mastered, and the fear Of its
further extension at an end, but twelve hours afterwards,
thick columns of smoke were still ascending, and the re-
mainder of the hay stack occasionally burst out into
flames, and that of the wheat was a dense mass of in-
tense red-hot fire, from which in places ineessant flames
arose. It was affecting to look upon the destruction of
so much valuable food for man and provender for cattle.
The loss in money value is, we believe, about 2,0004,
but this is far from being the total mischief;--Leeds In.

DOUBLE SUICIDE.—EXETER, SATURDAY.---0011-.
siderabie sensation has beets created in the vicinity of St.
Mary °nary by a dreadful occurrence, by which the
deaths of two unfortunate faetoiy girls were occasioned.
On Friday week the deceased females, Mary Ann'Old.
ridge and Jane Smith, were visited by a man of indifferent
character, from whom Oldridge contrived to possess her-
self of half-a-crown to get some liquor with, and never
returned; the other deceased following her. The, man
subsequently meeting with them, threatened to expose
them to their employer Mr. Newbery, the silk factor, in
Exeter, if they did not immediately return him his half-
crown. Not having sufficient to make up the recpti'red
sum, the threat appeared to operate so powerfully upc -I
their minds, that they went to the neighbouring chemist
and purchased 3d. worth of arsenic, with which they re-
solved to destroy themselves They then returned to
work at the factory, and on leaving at night went to a
public-house kept by a person named Taylor, where they
mixed the poison in some cider and drank it. Oldridge
died in dreadful agony on Wednesday,. and Smith in
twenty-lour hours utter. Yesterday an inquest was held
on tho bodies of the unfortunate women before Mr.
Aberdeen, the coroner, at the Red Lion Inn, Otters,
when the jury, after several hours deliberation, returned
a verdict of File de see. Both bodies were interred late
last night in the parish churchyard.
EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.--DEDFORD, OCT. 3.
—During the past week the greatest exciteme-nt has pre-
vailed in this town and the adjacent district
discovery of the body of a young man, ,wing to the
o:tamed J.
a fishmonger, and native of Bedford, in a retir. Li
spot
spot
called Clapham" wood, the throat being frightfraly cut,
so as to sever the windpipe, with a contused wound over
the left eye, apparently the effect of a blow with some
heavy weapon. The body was in a crouchin
under a large tree, to which it had bee n attached by a.
g posture,
handkerchief, the corner of which
was torn off, the
other end being tied to another 'handkerchief, which was
around the neck of the deceased, and the folds of which
were deeply embedded in the wound. Within a few
yards of the spot a hat was picked up, and a knife
stained with blued was found lying amongst the tinder-
wood. The body was readily identified, and informa-
tion having been given to Mr. E. Eagles, the county
coroner, a respectable jury was impannelled to inquire
into the circumstances. The Coroner, in summing up
the evidence, adverted to the very suspicious circum-
stances of the case; and the jury, after a short con-
sultation, returned a verdict to the effect, " That the
deceased Joseph Lilley was found dead in Clapham-
wood, with certain wounds, which the jurors itre of opi-
nion were inflicted by the deceased himself, when in an,
unsound state of mind.'
MR. FORREST.—This gentleman has returned to
New York, where he is now playing a round of cha-
racters. The journals of that city describe the night of
his first appearance, after his European tour, as being
one of great excitement and enthusiasm—proving tho
extent of the estimation in which his histrionic talents
are held by his countrymen.
FUNERAL OF TILE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD,
ESQ.—The remains of the late William Trenchard Dillon
Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of
Dorset, were consigned to the family vault in the parish
church, on Thursday, the 24th Sept. The solemn pro-
cession left the family residence at twelve o'clock; in ad-
don to his own relatives he was followed by his numerous
tenantry. His loss will be deeply felt by the poor of
his neighbourhood. The deceased was the eldest son of
the late Rev. H. Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett
Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillon,
and was nearly, connected with the Augusta
families of
Clanricarde and Clanbrook. Ile will be succeeded in
the estates of Lytchett Matravers and Child Olaford
by his next brother, Henry Luke Smith Dillon, Esq.,
who, in obedience to the will of the late William
Trenchard, Esq., will assume the name and quarter the
arms of Trenchard with those of Dillon.—Sarcabor:ne

A MAN DESTROYED IN A FURNACE.—At seven
an accident of the most
toe'crlioacaka
alnadst
hSaurni
idflaay
due's) cr tniipntgiott took place at the New_
port works. T. Jones, one of the young men engaged
as assistant filler, while throwing a basket full of cinders
into the furnace, by some means or other overbalanced
himself, and foil into the funnel of this heated crucible,
and in about three minutes was entirely consumed. The, materials in the furnace were not more than five feet
below the level of the charging plate. The blast was
immediately drown off ; yet, notwithstanding every
effOrt to save the unfortunate sufferer, not a fragment of
the bey could be found. No person can state positively-
tow it occurred ; but it is generelly supposed that the
basket must have caught in a portion of his clothes, tar
in one of the leather handcuffs, and that the sudden con-
cussion caused by throwing the basket of
the hit nace, jerked him in. It is very remarble ho
this family has been afflicted with accidents ofka a lamentw-
able description. The former husband of the mother
was burnt to death from an explosion of liquid iron, ti,
one of the neighbouring works. The present hu:;banti,
or father of the deceased lost an eye, and narrowly es-
caped a similar fate from a similar cause. Some
ago one of his brothers was most awfully time
to death
on a cinder-tip 1 and another brother had hisbrnt foot burnt.
