on Tuesday. He immediately placed it in the hands of Mr.
Isaacson, who caused inquiry to be made, and the requisite

cleverly by a length. Cocoa Nut and Widerness were third

drangea and Mowerina, the pace indifferent enough to keep
the whole lot together in a cluster, until they were within a
distance of home; Hydrangea then took the lead, kept it,
and won, but only by a head, Dulcet, who came at the
last, making the issue so doubtful, that until No. 7 was te-

After one false start they got off in a line, the running be-
ing taken up by Martingale and Agnes, the favourite, the
winner, Dr. Goodall, and several others very forward, but
the whole lot laid up. The pace was so moderate that no-
thing was beaten off until near the ropes. The Galata filly
then went to the front, followed, but was never caught, by
the favourite, and won cleverly by a length. The Zipporah
colt, Pink Bonnet, Dr. Goodall, and Crozier, were well up,
but so close together that the judge could not place a third.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Echo tug returned ]as.

night into the harbour. She fell in wits the disabled
ship she went in quest of off the west end of the Isle of
Wight. She proved to be the American ship Spring, of
New York, bound from Matanzas to Cowes, with a
' cargo of sugar. She had lost her main and mizen top
masts in a heavy gale about three weeks since. She
had on board the crew of another American ship, which
had foundered at sea. The Echo assisted her into
Cowes.
An accident attended with fatal consequence occurred
last night, arising from the reprehensible practice of
keeping stores in open lighters alongside vessels dis-
mantling all night. One of the marines of the Sappho
was placed to guard a vessel in this situation. The poor
fellow fell from the lighter overboard, and although he was
heard to fall, and his cries for help also heard, he was
drowned, notwithstanding every exertion was used to
save him. his body has not yet been recovered. We
hope that an order will be issued to the effect that
vessels with stores in, unless under hatches, shall not
in future lie alongside men of war after dark. This is
the second accident of a fatal nature that has occurred
recently.
The Emerald tender sailed last evening for Devonport
with supernumeraries.
The Rochester navy lighter sailed this morning for
Sheerness and Chatham.
The Victory, 100, Captain Pasco, received an addi-
tional half-dozen guns yesterday, for the greater con-
venience of saluting and the better facility for drilling
her men.
Sir Henry Lushington (brother to Dr. Lushington, of
the Admiralty Court, and Captain Lushington of the
Vengeance) gave an elegant and most hospitable enter-
tainment this evening to the chief commissioned officers
of the Vengeance and a select circle of friends, at the
George Hotel, Portsmouth.
The Sylvia cutter, tender to the Seaflower, Lieutenant-
Commander Warren, sailed to-day for Jersey.
In the Harbour—The St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship,
under survey; the Victory, 100, ordinary guard-ship;
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, laid up for the
winter; the Excellent, gunnery-ship; the Rattlesnake,
28, Captain Stanley, fitting for surveying service; the
Sappho, 16, Commander Gambier, preparing for paying
off; the Penelope, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, fitting
for service on the coast of Africa as flag-ship; the Myr-
tle, dispatch boat, Master-Commander Balliston; and

Edinburgh, 72, under conversion to a block-ship; the

fitting for service.

OLD COURT
John Fran!?lin, 25, William Wainßon, 26, and John
Walker, 40, who were committed on Thursday, the two
for,f.er of btealiug a quantity of cloth, the property of
T11t.i:1143 Gorden, drape, in the Blackfriars-road, and
the latter for feloniously receiving the same knowing it
to have been stolen, were placed at the bar to receive
sentence.

The evidence adduced in support of the charge showed
clearly that the prisoners Wilkinson and Franklin were
adepts in the commission of felony, and that the other
prisoner was a wholesale receiver of stolen goods. The
proceedings had been watched by Mount, Gray, and
Whall, three of the metropolitan police belonging to the
C division, and they appeared to have acted with great
zeal, discretion, and intelligence in the proceedings they
adopted to detect the guilty parties.
Mr. CLARKE, who, with Mr. BODKIN, conducted the
prosecution on behalf of the Treasury, applied to the
Court to exercise the power it possessed of ordering a
reward to the constables, who appeared to have con-
ducted themselves in a very meritorious manner.
Mr. Justice EULE said he considered the prosecution a
very important one, and that the exertions of the police
had brought to justice a person who could not be con-
sidered in any other light than a wholesale author of
crime, and that it was a great public advantage to check
the ccurse of euch a person. He, therefore, should
direct that the usual reward given in such cases should
be awarded to the officers concerned in the case ; and
with regard to the prisoners, the sentence upon Frank-
lin and Wilkinson was; that they be transported for
seven years, and Walker for fourteen years.
John Lacy, 44, sailor, was indicted for cutting and
wounding Francis Townsend, a police constable, with
intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common
assault, and he was sentenced to nine months imprison-
ment and hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A deputation from the Royal Free Hospital, consist-
ing of the Rev. Edward Rice, D.D., (chairman of the
Weekly Board,) Mr. John Watson, and other governors
of the charity, waited upon the Lord Mayor to inform
his Lordship that, in deference to the opinion so strongly
expressed by his Lordship, and which the Committee
found also-existing in the minds of many other influen-
tial and benevolent friends of the institution, that the
system of admitting into the hospital any casual poor,
who had previously been in any of the unions or poor-
houses of the metropolis, was decidedly objectionable,
and had a bad tendency, the Committee of Management
had, at their last meeting resolved, " that in future
no poor or diseased persons who had received shelter in
any of the unions should be admitted, but that such par-
ties should be sent back to the union or workhouse from
whence they came."
The Loan MAYOR said he considered the practice of
Bending the poor from unions or workhouses to the hos-
pital as wholly incapable of being vindicated, inasmuch
as it went to relieve those who ought to be parochially
relieved, and to turn the benefits of the institution away
from its intended channel—the relief of the destitute
sick. There was no principle to which he objected more
strongly.
The deputation stated, that the amount of misery the
Free Hospital relieved was incalculable. Objects who
were, or who seemed to be, below the notice of other
hospitals, were received there and were attended at all
hours and under all circumstances.
The LORD MAYOR said he had never known that ob-
jects had been rejected at the other hospitals.
Dr. Rice said, that at all hours of the night, and from
the very lowest depths of misery and disease, poor crea-
tures were sent int* the hospital which the deputation
represented, and to their cases the utmost attention was
paid. So frightful was the extent of wretchedness wit-
nessed, that it was not uncommon to see unfortunate
persons who were brought into the hospital in the last
stage of typhus expire three or four hours after they
were received. Into other hospitals typhus patients were
not admitted in consequence of the mischiefs apprehended
from contagion.
The LORD MAYOR said, if unions or workhouses sent
such patients to the hospital, the officer ought to be held
responsible, and to be punished. The city of London
could, if any place had the power, afford to have a
proper place for the reception of its paupers in every
condition, and it was decidedly wrong to admit patients
sent. by its unions to an hospital instituted for the service
of very different claimants.
The deputation assured the Lord Mayor that the offi-
cers of the institution had been exposed to very strong
censure from a powerful portion of the press in conse-
quence of their inability to receive two poor girls, who
had been sent thither is a deplorable condition, but
whom it was impossible to receive on account of the im-
mensely crowded state of the wards. The managers had
been traduced by the Coroner, who, however, subse-
quently retracted to a certain extent his condemnation.
A serious injury had been inflicted upon the hospital
but for the existence of which hundreds and thousands
would have perished of disease.
The LORD MAYOR—What I condemn is the fact, that
you have been receiving from the City unions persons
who bad claims upon these unions, and who ought to
have been rejected at your hospital. I object to the idea
of the city of London having no place to send their
casual poor to but that house at Peckham, to which they
are sent down at four or five o'clock in the evening, and
from which they are sent away next morning—a dis-
graceful system, to which they are daily subjected.
Doctor Rice—These are the people who apply to us.
Another of the deputation said that there were two
cases lately sent from the poorhouse at Westminster to
the Free Hospital, and is consequence of the objection
made by the Lord Mayor, they had been refused ad-
mission.
The Loan MAYOR—Why I belonged to that board my-
self for many years, and I never had reason to suppose
the authorities would send those whom they ought to
relieve themselves to the Free Hospital. I shall have a
special court called to investigate the cases.
One of the deputation—What can we do when such
painful objects present themselves to us ? They are
daily coming to us after having been refused admission
to other hospitals.
Doctor Rice—Your Lordship has no notion of the vast
extent of good effected by the institution. Before I
knew anything about it a gentleman came to me to ask
me to preach for the charity. I made particular inquiry
into the nature and proceedings of the charity, and I
did all I could to advocate the cause. I believe that but
for it theusands of our miserable fellow-creatures would
die in the streets. It is the anxious wish of the ma-
nager that your Lordship should investigate into the
particulars of the 'charity, and we are convinced that
when you do you will see strong grounds for not with-
holding the support which has hitherto been of such
utility to it.
The LORD INIAYOR said he should take an early op-
portunity, after the close of his year of office, to investi-
gate the charity. In the meantime he felt satisfaction at
the resolution to which the managers had come, and
which was calculated to prevent the abuse of a charity
by confining it to proper objects.
BO IV- S TREE T.
The case of Mrs. H. H. Lomax, whose husband had
been summoned by the parish-officers to show cause
why he had refused to maintain his wife and child, was
resumed before Mr. Henry.
It will be remembered that the case had been ad-
journed from Saturday last to admit of inquiry being
made as to the defendant's state of mind, and to enable
Mr. James Lomax, the defendant's brother, to substan
tiate his plea that his sister-in-law was an adultress,
and had, therefore, no claim upon her husband, the
evidence to this point submitted by him on the last
occasion having been rejected by the magistrate as
worthless.
Mr. James Lomax, addressing the magistrate, said—
Since the parties were last before the Court 'he had
thought it better, to spare the family any further annoy-
ance, to advise his brother, the defendant, to allow his
wife, for the support of herself and child, the sum of ss.
out of the allowance made to the husband, which sum he
(Mr. James Lomax) had undertaken to pay monthly
into the hands of Mr. Boswood, the relieving officer.
Mr. Boswood—Mr. James Lomax waited on me, your
worship, on Tuesday, and expressed his wish to settle the
case if possible, intimatingt hat he would allow ss. per week
to be deducted from the husband's allowance for her sup-
port. I consequently submitted this proposal to Mrs.
Lomax, who said it would be impossible to sustain her-
self and child during the winter months with less than
7s. 6d. per week. I then waited on Mr. James Lomax,
at his residence, and he stated that he would withdraw
all imputations upon her character, and admit her to be
a respectable woman, if she would consent to his pro-
posed arrangement.
Mr. HENRY (to Mrs. Lomax)—Have you heard any.
thing further respecting your claims since
here ? you were las

In the Basin—The Vengeance, 84, Captain Stephen
Lushington, fitting for service on the Mediterranean
station ; the Amphitrite, razia corvette, ready fur com-
mission ; the Fairy, tender to the Royal yacht, re-gild-
ing, &c. ; and the Naiad, coal and store depot, for Callao,
Master-Commander Browne.

At Spithead—The Cyclops steam frigate, ready for
any service, awaiting orders.
CHATHAM. OCT. 30.—The Warspite, 50 guns, fitting
in dock for commission,:is advancing rapidly towards com-
pletion. It is reported that she will be commissioned by
the late Captain-Superintendent of this yard, Captain
W. IL Shirreff
The Eurotas, 42, in dock, fitting as a steam guard-
ship, is waiting for the decision of the authorities as to
the aperture for the screw propeller. Part of her has
been painted.
The Gloucester, 50 guns, is ready to be put out of
dock next sping tides. As soon as she is out, a 12-gun
brig, to be named the Elk, will be immediately taken in
hand to be built.

In harbour is the Mutine, 12 guns, Commander Ro-
bert Tyren. Owing to some further alterations required
in the commander's cabin, she will not be completed be-
fore the 9th of next month.
SHEERNESS, OCT. 29.—The Belleisle troop ship, Cap-
tain John Kingcome, arrived at the Nor. on Tuesday
afternoon, with invalids from the several regiments
serving in Canada, who have been conveyed to Chatham
by the African steamer. The Belleisle is being refitted
at the Nore ; a gang of shipwrights, caulkers, and
joiners were sent out to her to-day, as also several spars,
anchors, cables, &c.

The Wasp, 16, Commander C. H. Ussher, was paid off
on Saturday ; she is ordered to be overhauled and re-
fitted for commission.

The Aolus, 44, Master-Commander John Thomas,
is all ataunt in the fitting basin, which she was to leave
to-day, but her discharge has been deferred till Tues-
day ; she is badly off for seamen, not above a dozen
having as yet entered for her. Her complement of
marines, 20 in number, have joined from the Chatham
division ; she is
.to go to Deptford to load with pro-
visions.

The Euryalus, 44, has been masted, and will be rigged
by the dockyard riggers, and a party of seamen from
the ordinary ; when ready, she will embark convicts
and proceed to Gibraltar, to be there stationed as a con-
vict ship.
The Formidable, 84, requires new decks and new
channels, &c.; it is therefore improbable, from the time
she would take to be got ready, that the officers and
crew of the Terrible steam-frigate are about to be turned
over to her.

The Howe, 120, Advance-ship—From some inquiries
which have been made by the Admiralty regarding the
state and condition of this ship, it is probable that she
will be ordered for commission shortly.
The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, fitting as a troop •
ship, is ordered to have a poop erected and paddle-box
boats fitted.

Captain Superintendent Arthur, C.B , has left the
dockyard on a visit to his brother, Sir George Arthur,
late Governor of Bombay.
Rear-Admiral Lord Radstock visited the dockyard on
Tuesday, and went over the neighbouring fortifications.

SUNDAY TRAVELLING.—At a meeting of the Edin-
burgh Town Council, on Tuesday last, some discussion
took place on the subject of the determination recently
come to by the directors of the Edinburgh tied Glasgow
Railway, to prohibit the running of the morning and
evening passenger trains on Sundays. The sentiments
expressed by the majority of the speakers were adverse
to the discontinuance of that traffic, and, in conclusion,
Mr. Falkner submitted the following motion for next
business meeting of the council :—" That it be remitted
to the Lord Provost's Committee to prepare a memorial
to the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway,
urging them to re-consider and rescind their resolution
to stop the morning and evening passenger trains en the
Lord's-day, it being the opinion of this council that a
daily means of conveyance, of one kind or another, is
absolutely necessary between this city and Glasgow ;
and that that the running of a railway passenger-train in
the morning and evening of the Lord's-day is not by any
means so objectionable as the running of a four-horse
coach."

LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—On Wednesday even-
ing last, an entertainment was given by F. Ilurnell, of
the Pewter Platter Tavern, St. John-street, Clerken-
well, to the gentlemen who formed his Committee on
the occasion of the recent election of Treasurer of the
No. 8 Lodge. A numerous body of friends partook of
a supper, which, whether for abundance or quality, re
dented great credit on the worthy host. P.P. V. Turner
presided, and was ably supported by P.S. Burgess, P.P.
W. P. Dearing, P.P. Trotter, P.P. Alridge, P.P. Wood-
man, P.P. Noel, P.P. Cox, P.P. Thomas, and several
other influential past and present officers and friends.
After the cloth was withdrawn, the Chairman gave the
health of " The Queen," which was received by the
company with much applause. The National An-
them " was then sung; after which the Chairman, in a
few short remarks, gave " The Order of Loyal United
Friends, and may its Lodges and Gift Funds flourish."
P.P. Woodman sang in good style the " Brave Old Oak."
P.S. Burgess, in a very complimentary speech, proposed
" The Health of F. Ilurnell," who, he stated, although
unsuccessful in his endeavours to obtain the treasurer-
ship of the No. 8 Lodge, was supported by a large body
of highly respectable friends, whose support might ba
depended upon on a future occasion, and indeed, he had
reason to know that their respected host was daily rising
in the estimation of the Friends in general, and that his
character for independence, integrity, and liberality was
duly appreciated. This toast was received in a manner
that must have been truly gratifying to Mr. Ilurnell,
who, in acknowledging the same, expressed his thanks
for the flattering manner in which his health had been
drank, and in a few words, replete with good sense,
stated that it would afford him much pleasure in the
continuance of their high opinion. P. Hornsby, in his
usual entertaining manner, then gave a recitation, which
elicited great applause. The health of the Chairman,
and of F. Scrivener, of the Sun Dial, Goswell-street,
who resigned in favour of Mr. Liurnell, were given, and
severally responded to, amid much cheering. The pro-
ceedings of the evening were prolonged to a late hour,
when the party broke up evidently highly entertained by
their much respected host, but not until they had esta-
blished an harmonic Society for the weekly meetings of
his friends.

Mrs. Lomax—Yes, Sir. Yesterday two vulgar-look-
ing persons inquired for me at my apartments, and on
being admitted, asked me, in the most uncouth manner,
if I would consent to take ss. per week or not? I asked
whom they represented, and they at first said o General
Lomax," then o Mr. James Lomax," and, lastly, they
stated that they had been sent from the Strand Union.
One of them was very tipsy, and they both behaved in
an insolent manner. I told them that their appearance
was very much against them, and I declined to give them
any answer, remarking that the matter was now in the
hands of the parochial authorities. In addition to this,
I have been subject to every possible annoyance. I have
been rudely stopped and insulted in the street, especially
by one person, who met me returning from my mother's,
in Regent-street. on Sunday evening last. Ido not knowY
name,but
any of the parties b
should recognise them if
I saw them again.
Mr. LIENRY--1f you can ascertain the name or address
of any °t. them, I shall be very happy to :
grant you a
summons, to bring them here.
Mrs. Lomax said, that one person told her that he
Lomax
Mr. awes Loax say that he had followed her
into a house of ill-fame.
Mr. James Lomax denied having ever said anything
of the kind, and declared that he was not a party in
any way to the
, annoyances which Mrs. Lomax had ex-
perienced ; although of course, ho was not responsible
for anything his brother (the defendant) might have done.
Mr. HENRY--As y ppet there has aeared no founda-
tion whatever, ;
, al the proceedings before me, for the
charges made against her character. Indeed, I under-
stand from Mr. Boxwood that the defendant's attorney
has withdrawn every imputation of the kind, and admits
her to be a respectable woman.
Lir. James Lonaax—Oh, I know nothing about her
myself. I am willing to make my brother give her up
five shillings per week; but I did not come here to de-
fend him.

MRS. GORE'S NEW WORK, " MEN OF CAPITAL,"
differs almost entirely from all her former productions,
inasmuch as it exhibits not the slightest taint of the
Fashionable Novel. The title, indeed, might lead the
reader to expect a book full of political economy and rail-
road speculation—an imitation, probably, of Harriet
Martineau—how great, thurefiire, will be his relief to
find, under the name of the " Men of Capital," a chef-
auvre of grace and pathos— a vigorous and edifying
picture of the struggles of a nouveau riche; a story varied
by all the impulses of human passion, and vivid with
those life-like pictures of modern society which no one
delineates with a truer pencil than Mrs. Gore.
SIIOCKING DEATIL—On Tuesday an inquest was
held before W. Baker, Esq., at the London Hospital, on
the body of James Connor. The deceased, on Saturday,
and some other labourers, were removing a large sugar
box from the tier in one of the warehouses at the St.
Katharine's Dock, and while so engaged, the box, weigh-
ing about two tons, suddenly fell on one aide, and the
deceased, who was unable to escape, was knocked down
by the box, which fell on him crushing him dreadfully. lie was removed to the London Hospital, and on his
arrival was found to be quit dead. Verdict, Accidental
death."

Mr. lIENRY—I don't know whether you came here to

Mr. J. Lomax—No, Sir ; I said I appeared to watch
the case for the family.
Mr. HENRY—But I told you distinctly that you had

TriE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY E-VENING, OCTOBER 31, 1846.

no locus standi in that capacity, and must not take part
in the proceedings; and you then said that you appeared
as his attorney. Moreover, you stated that you could
prove the charge of adultery against Lomax, and
you called two witnesses with than pretence, who failed
to prove anything like it.

Mr. J. I;maxL-Why, I met a man in the street to-
day who said he could prove the fact.
Mr. HENRY—You ought to know, Mr. Lomax, that
this is not the way to impeach a woman's character. It
is not right to insist upon so serious a charge from what
some one has been merely heard to say.
Mr. J. Lomax—l know nothing about it. I never in
my life imputed anything again: t her ; and as for the
Ge, eral, he has neeer seen her but once in his life. I'll
do all I can to make my brother advance her ss. per
week. My brother has only an allowance of IL per
week, and I think I have acted with the greatest
liberality in making him allow her ss. out of it.
Mrs. Lomax said her husband was allowed 255. per
week during the winter, and it was proved by the
woman at whose place he was living that his board and
lodging only cost 13s. 6d. per week. She handed a letter
to his Worship showing that her former allowance was
10s. per week.
Mr. J. Lomax said that the allowance had been re-
duced to ii., and that was all that would in future be
paid. He thought it would be at once seen that, after
paying 13s. 6d. out of it for his living, &c., and ss. to his
wife, he would require at least the remainder for pens,
ink, postage, and gloves, and other little articles of that
kind. He begged to show the Court a letter, received
from Mrs. Lomax some time back, in which she re-
quested him " not to let her husband know her address,
as his violence would be the death of her." This, he
submitted, was a clear proof that she left him, and not
he her.

Mrs. Lomax said, this was when her husband's state
of mind compelled her to take shelter at her father's.
Mr. HENRY remarked, that it was quite evident that
" fear" was the cause of her leaving him. He thought
Mrs. Lomax was very much to be pitied, but her case
was not free from difficulty. In the first place, there
was a doubt as to her husband's being a sane man,
which prevented his being sent to prison as a culprit.
It also appeared that he had no means of living beyond
that which his father allowed him, and which might be
at any time stopped. But, on the other hand, the pa-
rish might proceed, under an old statute, against Gene-
ral Lomax for the support of his grandchild. He ad-
mitted that the sum of ss. was but a very trifling al-
lowance. His Worship inquired if the General was
present I
Mr. Boswood—No, Sir ; I told him that his attend-
ance was unnecessary.
Mr. HENRY—Don t you think he would allow her 7s.
6d. per week. ?
Mr. J. Lomax—No ; lam sure he will not. He has
been already so much vexed at having his name dragged
before the public in this way by his son's wife, that I
am confident he will do no more for her. Indeed, it has
been a great trial for a man of his age, and he is quite
ill ; and I myself have been extremely annoyed at this
woman's going about and representing herself as Mrs.
Lomax, knowing that my own lady is the only Mrs. Lo-
max recognised by the family.
Mr. HENRY—She represented herself here as Mrs.
Henry Lomax, and surely her marriage has given her
that right. lam quite prepared to send the husband to
prison, if it can be proved that he is a sane man.
Mrs. Lomax did not wish this course to be taken.
She must try to make up a sufficiency for herself and

Mr. Boswood—lt appeared to me, your worship, when
in conversation with the General the other evening, that
he was quite willing to pay the 1/. per week into my
hands, leaving me to divide it between the parties in the
fairest manner for both.

Mr. HENRY—WeII, I think that is most desirable, and
I should suggest—
Mr. J. Lomax—No, I am sure the General will not do
that.

Mr. HENRY—I must beg you, Sir, not to interfere at
this stage of the proceedings. Pray sit down. I am
glad to hear of this proposal, and am satisfied that it is
the fairest for the wife; for then you will be enabled to
pay her half the amount, or such sum as may be deemed
satisfactory. If the General will give the parish officers
liberty to divide the sum between the parties at their
discretion, there will be no occasion to proceed further.
Mr. Boswood—l think Mr. J. Lomax will bear me
out in the accuracy of this statement respecting General
Lomax.

Mr. HENRY—There is no occasion whatever for Mr.
James Lomax to interfere, or be consulted about the
matter. I will adjourn the summons until you have seen
the General himself, and you can take a summons re-
quiring his presence here, if necessary. I shall also re-
quire the defendant to be in attendance on the next
occasion.

The case was then further adjourned to Saturday, to
await the result of an application to General Lomax.

.ND IA AND CHINA ASSO

CIATION.

The following letter has been furnished by the Eas
India and China Association:—

" 13, Austin-friars, London, Oct. 28.
" Sir,—l beg leave to acquaint you, for the informa-
tion of the London, East India, and China Association,
that I have received advices from Mr. Brooke, dated the
31st of August last, from which it appears that Borneo
affairs are at length progressing satisfactorily. Sub-
sequently to the demonstration recently made by
Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane at Borneo Proper,
Mr. Brooke very prudently resolved not to reject
any proper overtures from the Sultan; the latter (having
returned to the city of Brurd) has consequently ad-
dressed a very penitential letter to her Majesty, craving
pardon and oblivion of the past, and containing
many assurances of future good behaviour. The Sultan
has also ratified all his former engagements, so that on
Sir Thomas Cochrane's taking possession of Lal,uan, in
conformity with the instructions forwarded to him by
direction of Lord Palmerston, per overland mail of July
last, her Majesty's Government have now no obstacle
whatever to render any further delay in forming a British
settlement on that important island requisite.
" You will be gratified to learn thas the survivors of
the Rajah Muda ilassim's family are located at Sarawak,
under Mr. Brooke's protection.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,

"HENRY WISE, Agent for James Brooke, Esq
To John Stikeman, Esq., Secretary of the London,
East India, and China Association."

THE INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE.—The administra-
tors of the Orleans and Bordeaux railroad have sent to
the Paris journals an account of the injury occasioned
to the road by the inundation of the Loire. The moment
the destruction of the bridge of Vierzon became known,
two of the directors, Baron Paul de Richemont and M.
Barry, repaired to Tours, accompanied by Mr. Wood-
house, the chief engineer of the line. The communica-
tion was still open ; hit between Blois and Tours the
river threatened to burst through its embankments, and,
if that misfortune did not occur at Chousy and Ousain,
it was owing to the strenuous exertions of the inhabit-
ants, who, aided by the persons employed on the rail
road, courageously laboured to strengthen them against
the ravages of the inundation. Amboise is the place
which suffered most. At ten o'clock, A.M., on the
22d, the small liver Cisse, which emptieth itself into
the Loire below Vouvray, had already innndated
the country between Vouvray and Amboise,
and covered a portion of the line. A few
hours afterwards, the Loire forced a passage
through the embankment on a distance of 200 yards,
rushed with fury against the road which runs under-
neath, destroyed the station-house of Amboise, and
formed a lake of about 10 kilometre: in extent. The
road was there completely torn up ; the buildings and
turning platforms were rendered unfit for use ; and the
waggons carried to a great distance by the floods. The
magnificent viaduct of Mont Louis, however, sustained
no injury, and terminus at Tours, and the materiel con-
tained in the magazines of the company, escaped without
any damage. The administration had adopted measures
to re-establish the communications as speedily as pos-
sible. They had not been interrupted between Orleans,
Blois, and Ouzain. From the 30th of October a regular
service was to be organised as far as Limeray, whence
steam-boats are to convey passengers and goods to Mont
Louis, and the rest of the journey to Tours will be per-
formed by railroad. The administration expects to be
able to repair the damage without being obliged to entail
any new burden on the shareholders, the more so as it
has a right to expect that the Government will consider
itself bound to supply the funds for that object, in pre-
sence of so great a public calamity.
TSB GLASGOW CORN TRADE.—(From Messrs.
Brown's Circular )—GLAscow, OCT. 28.--Since our last
the arrivals coastwise consisted of about 2,500 quarters
of wheat, 3,600 quarters of barley, 360 quarters of oats,
600 quarters of beans and peae, and 1,300 sacks of flour.
Supplies from Ireland have rather increased, viz., about
2,000 barrels of wheat, 900 barrels of barley, 9,000 bar-
rels of oats, 600 barrels of beans, and 1,300 sacks of
flour ; several cargoes, overdue, being delayed by the
late gales. About 3,500 quarters of wheat, 900 quarters
of beans and peas, and 6,003 of flour, have arrived from
abroad. Wheat and flour have not varied iu value ;
both a fair sale at full rates. Barley has to be written
Is. to 2s. dearer per 3201 b., the supplying falling short
of the demand. Oats and oatmeal have been more in-
quived after, at a rise of Is. to 2s. per boll or load re-
spectively. Beans and peas realised the extreme rates.
Indian corn on passage in great request for Ireland ;
our market is bare of stock. At this day's market there
was a slender attendance. Wheat and flour were held
firmly, but the trade was not brisk ; barely in demand.
The advance in price for oats and oatmeal tended to
check business. Beans and peas unaltered.
DEATH OF THE REV. DR. TATTERSIIALL.-IVe
regret to state that the Rev. Thomas Tattersha 1, D.D.,
the highly-respected and talented minister of St. Augus-
tine's Church, Everton, departed this life yesterday
morning, after a severe illness of only four day. The
Rev. Gentleman, much against the advice of his physi-
cian, preached, as announced, a sermon on Sunday morn
ing last, in aid of the funds of the school connected with
the church of which he was the minister. Ile was then
suffering very much, and upon returning home was found
to be labouring under a severe attack of inflammation of
the kidneys. Ile retired to bed, and never rose from it
again. Eminent as a scholar and divine, the deceased
had also the good fortune to be eminently distinguished
for his personal piety and private worth.—Liverpool
Mercury, Oct. 30.
THE COAL TRADE.—The coal freights to London
were 9s. to 9s. 6d. per ton yesterday, on Newcastle
quay—an advance of nearly 50 per cent. above the rates
given two months ago. The price of steam coal has been
advanced 3d. a ton; and the best house coal (to specula-
tors for the London market) is also advanced 6d. a ton
—but to the coasting markets little or no advance on
house coal has been made.—Guleshead Observer.
TAIT'S MAGAZINE.—We hear that this popular
periodical has now become the property of those enter-
prising booksellers, Messrs. A. and C. Black, the original
proprietor, Mr. Tait, being about to retire from business.
