APPREHENSION AND EXAMINATION OF ANOTHER
CHARTIST DELEGATE.--About nine o'clock last night Ser-
geant Thompson, No. 6 F division, succeeded in arresting
another of these men, who was 'conveyed to the Bow-street
station-house ; he, however refused to give any name, saying
they must find it out; but upon searching him a quantity of
letters and papers were found on his person, which proved him
to be William Dowling, one of the most active of the dele-
gates, and who was to have taken part in the contemplated
outbreak on the night of Wednesday last. The charge
against the prisoner is in the precise words of the one on which
Cuffey stands remanded. In consequence of Mr. Clarkson and
Mr. Haywood, of the Treasury, being engaged at the Central
Criminal Court, the examination was put off until late in the
day, evidence to be adduced the same as in the previous
cases.

EXCURSION TO THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.—The
progress of railway enterprise has at length opened the Chan-
nel Islands to Lthe sojourners in the metropolis. The South
Western Company have advertised an excursion, which is to
leave the Waterloo-bridge station at four o'clock on Friday
next for the Channel Islands, the passengers by which may
return at any time during the following week. They will re-
main at Southampton a sufficient time to enable them to see
that beautiful town, and they will proceed at their option to
either Jersey or Guernsey. These islands are interesting not
on account of their picturesque beauty alone—although in
that respect there are few spots that surpass them—but also
as the only portion of the original dominions of the Norman
princes which England still retains. In cheapness of living
no place in Great Britain approaches them. This is certainly
one of the most delightful, and far and away the most inex-
pensive, excursions ever advertised.
THE WINDSOR AND SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.

—This branch line of railway from the Waterloo-bridge sta-
tion to Datchet swill be opened for passenger-traffic to-
morrow. We understand that return tickets to and from
the Waterloo-bridge station to Datchet will be only 3s. 4d.,
and as omnibuses from all parts of the town and steam-boats
from the City to the Waterloo-bridge pier afford cheap faci-
litiea to the Waterloo-bridge station, Windsor will no doubt
receive a large addition of visitors and holiday seekers.
PAINPNL OCCURRENCE.— We hear, with deep
regret, that a lady of high rank, both by birth and mar-
. nage, has within the last few days mysteriously absented
herself from the residence of her noble husband, in conse-
quence, as it is supposed, of distressing domestic disagree-
ments. A variety of details have reached us, but, in de-
ference to the feelings of all concerned, we refrain from
mentioning them in the present state of the unfortunate
circumstances.—Port '
COIN.—An account has just been given in a Par-
liamentary paper of all gold, silver, and copper moneys of
the realm, coined at the Royal Mint from the Ist January,
1816, gold coinage anuary,
1816, to the 31st December last.

value was 13,573,906/. 19s. 10d., and of copper coinage
243,0511. 45.
THE ANEW ACT FOR THE SALE OF BEER AND
SPIRITS.—The new Act of Parliament for "Regulating the
Sale of Beer and other Liquors on the Lord's Day" came
into force on the 14th instant, when it received the Royal
Yesterday, however, was the first Sunday when it I
Assent.
was enforced in the United Kingdom, requiring all public
houses and beer-shops to be closed during divine service
in the mornings of Sundays, Christmas Day, Good Friday,
or any public fast or thanksgiving day, in the same manner
.as .as they are now closed within the Metropolitan district,
except to supply refreshment to travellers. There are seven
clauses in the statute, founded in the preamble, to the effect '
that the provisions in force within the Metropolitan Police
district, and in time other places in England, against the sale
of fermented and distilled liquors in the morning of the Lord's !
Day, have been. found to be attended with great benefits.
