NEWS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN

AND THE ARCTIC VOYAGERS.

It is a week since only that we afforded our
readers the last probable glimpse of the exploring
party who have gone out in search of a solution of the
mystery that hangs over the fate of Sir John
Franklin, previously to their issuing again from the
mysterious ground on which that solution is to be
sought; and now, for the first time since the missing
adventurers were lost sight of, at the threshold
of that same ground, an indication of their where-
abouts has suddenly turned up. A letter, just re-
ceived by the Admiralty from Chief Factor Mac-
rpc,hpeorrstonfr,orndatie,edeil‘,slanrcivherl,thlaBt4thBe,
Esasylsoi:m—a`u‘
xThsaewre
tiswoa
large boats (query ships ?) to the east of the Macken-
zie River, full of w hite men ; and they (the
Esquimaux) showed knives, files, acc.' to the Peel's
River Indians which they had received from these
white men. Could these have been Franklin or
Rae ?"
Mr. Hargrave, of York Factory, to whom Mr.
Macpherson's letter is addressed, says, in communi-
cating this intelligence to the Admiralty, " It could
not have been Rae in his last expedition, as his boats
did not go beyond Committee Bay." Mr. Hargrave
adds, that " But little credence can be given to Es-
quimaux reports."
We do not see, however, any good reason for re-
jecting a rumour so welcome, and we gladly give it
publicity. Presuming that the boats or ships were
those of Franklin's expedition, their position,
even east of the Mackenzie, is good as regards
success, and better still as respects safety,
since they must have been very near the coast.
It has been ascertained that open water exists
during the summer season from the Mac-
kenzie River to Bthring's Straits ; and we therefore
dare venture to hope that the expedition may have
effected the long desired N.W. passage this summer,
and that the gallant party may be even at this mo-
ment approaching our shores. The anxiety respecting
the lost party had grown finally to be very great, and
the public will cling eagerly to the hope so suddenly
presented. A very short time must test its value.

Official and other authentic particulars respecting
the cholera, with the best:mode of treatment, as recom-
mended by the " General Beard of health," appeared in
the Übserver of Sunday last; (Oct. 8), to the extent of
two of the Observer folio columns. The extensive pub-
lication of the Observer commences at six o'clock on
Sunday morning. Monday's edition, best for the coun-
try and abroad, is published at four o'clock Monday
afternoon.

TILE SPITALFIELDS SCHOOL OF DESlGN.—Yester-
day the committee of the Spite Melds School of Design,
which consists of an equal number of some of the most
extensive manufacturers of silk and of the most skilled
silk weavers in the metropolis, met at the institution to
receive tenders for an improved loom, which will be con-
structed to manufacture silk fabrics on a scale much
larger than can be done in the common loom, and which
will be able to exhibit the design of the silk in a much
more perfect form. The committee has been able to
effect this improvement, with several others, for the ad-
vantage of tho pupils, in consequence of the munificent
contribution received from the late ball. The school
opened on the 4th of September last, aft( r the summer
vacation, and there have been since added to the nutruier
of scholars fifty. one boys and eleven young women,
making the aggregate to be 205 of the former and 41 of
the latter. Se%eral of them attend the lectures at So-
merset-house, on the History, the Principles, and the
Practice of Ornamental Art. The new loom will be in
operation at the institution when the patronesses, &c.,
of the ball will be enabled to see the effect of their
exertions. _ _

James Mathison, Esq., M.P., has hero eketed a
director of the Peninsular End Oriental Steam Naviga-
tion Company, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of the late Patrick Maxwell Stewart., M.P., formorly
a director and chairman of that company.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Liverpool C itton Market yesterday there was
but a moderate demand, and the quotations were without
alteration. Sales, 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were
again lower.

—The continental advises received to-day are not of
prominent interest, but there is an impression that Louis
Napoleon will have a good chance of being elected Pre-
sident, because each party hopes to profit by his inexpe-
rience and assumed want of tact. As far as we can as-
certain opinions and wishes in the city, they are almost
unanimous in favour of Lamartine, although there are
many who apprehend that a military dictatorship is ne-
cessary to preserve the peace" among our neighbours.
More than the usual scrutiny has been going on to-
day in connexion with the revenue returns, but we must
say, that despite the cavilling of the Protectionists, there is
generally a feeling of satisfaction at the result ; and it
is fairly asked, "Could any country but England show
as good a return, under similarly adverse circumstances?"
Surrounded by nations in a state of revolution or
open war, could any one imagine that our trade would
not suffer? As to the decrease on the year it arises from
tho January and July quarters, the first representing
the efft eta of the failures in October, 1847, and the latter
of the Chartist excitement and foreign troubles in April
and June, 1848. The Post-office is making extraor-
ordinary exertions to accommodate the public, and from
this the revenue of that department must at first suffer.
The year 1846, to October 10, produced but 100,0001.
more than the present year.
In reference to the Indigo sales now in progress, we
are informed by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury
that they will comprise, according to the advertised
quantity, 9,210 chests, of which 3,015 chests will ho
old goods that were bought in or withdrawn from
former sales, and 885 chests in second hands.
There are 6,778 chests of Bengal, Oude, &c., 898 of
, Madras, 692 of Kurpah, and the rest is Manilla, &c.
The attendance is good, and, as regards the qualities,
I the Bengal is about one-third good and fine, and two-
! thirds middling and ordinary. The Madras ordinary,
with a few chests good, but no fine. The Kurpah
two-thirds ordinary, and one -third middling and good,
; with a few chests fine. The Oude ordinary, and the
Bimlapatam middling and ordinary. The sales opened
with a small parcel of fine Bengal, of the mark " J. and
R. W.," and were mostly bought in at July rates; these
were followed by a parcel of Kurpah, the finer sorts
1 selling at 3d. to 4d. per lb. advance; for the good ship-
ping qualities of Bengal there was but a limited demand,
but may be quoted 3d. to 4d. per lb. higher, the prin-
cipal competition being for the good consuming sorts at
I July prices to 2d. per lb. advance; for the Madras,
which was ordinary, there was not much demand, and
it was mostly bought in at July rates.
The survey of the Halifax and Quebec Railway had
been completed at the date of our last accounts, and a
final report had been drawn up. The British Govern-
ment still continued most favourably disposed towards
, the railroad.

The whole amount of Copper that has been shipped
this season from Lake Superior up to August 18, is
1,362,0001b5. of nearly pure metal.
There is a very flit market again to-day for the Public
Securities, and the quotations are weak, although they
were at the opening expected to advance a little. In
the remarks yesterday on the state of the Money Market
the abundance of cash in the bankers' bands should
have been stated as being probably never greater than
now instead of " never great," as printed. Transfers
have been resumed in the Stocks upon which the Divi-
dends are to be paid to the public on Friday, the 13th
inst. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised
84 to 1 ex. dividend, and the Three per Cent. Reduced
83- to 84 ex. div.; Bank Stock is worth 190 ex. div.;
Exchequer-bilk have been 30s. to 335. premium for those
of June, and East India Bonds 335. to 365. premium.
The Foreign Securities are very quiet, but Mexican
have been rather higher, viz., 1S to 194; Portuguese
Four per Cents. are 231 to 24. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 44k. Spanish Three per Cents. are no-
minally 22;41. to 23,i.
Railway Shares have been rather better, the natural
effect of reaction, but sellers must be cautious and for-
bearing if they desire to see settled improvement.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat on sale in to-day's
market was small, but quite equal to the wants of the
dealers. Selected qualities of both Red and White com-
manded steady sales at fully Monda3's quotations. In
the middling and inferior parcels, comparatively little
business was doing at the late decline in value. With
Foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say
heavily supplied. Fine dry samples moved off freely,
all other kinds slowly, at Monday's prices. Fine Malting
Barley, the supply of which was very limited, was firm
at full rates of currency. Otherwise, the Barley trade
was in a very inactive state. Th, demand for Malt was
wholly confined to retail parcels at previous currencies.
For Oats we had a fair inquiry at full prices. Beans and
Peas ruled heavy and were somewhat easier to purchase.
Indian Corn and Meal sold at fully last week's curren-
cies. Inferior qualities of Flour were the turn lower.

he put in commission. They were under the temporary
command of Captain G. Walkup Congdon and Lieu-
tenant G. Leslie, who have returned to Woolwich.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—About noon on Thursday last,
the general terminus at Perth was the scene of a very
painful accident, which terminated fatally a few hours
thereafter. It appears that a train receetly arrived had
just got quit of its passengers, and was taking a posi-
tion on a centre line of rails, to make way for another
that was just coming up, when one of the porters
named Dewar, a smart young man about 26 years of
age, thoughtlessly leaped upon the footboard, in opposi-
tion to a standing order, and, catching the handle of a
door, was swinging himself one ard, when his head
coming in contact with one of the pillars that support
the roof he was struck to the ground, and falling across
the rails the wheels of the two following carriages went
over his legs, crushing the bones in a most shocking
manner. After enduring great agony he expired the
same afternoon at five o elock.—Perth Advertiser.
MAN v. HonsE.--After the last race of the Union
Hunt Club meeting a very novel jumping match, for SC/.
a side, over a hurdle about four feet high, came off be-
tween Mr. C. 11. Rsynard and Mr. William Watt's
horse, The -Veterinary Surgeon of Settrington, by Irish
Birdcatelaaa dam by Ftnigus, five years old. The con-
ditions of the match were that it sheuld be a clear leap,
and in the event of both of tf ern clearing it, the hurdles
were then to be raised higher, until one or the other
was beaten. Mr. B. 13. Thompson was chosen umpire.
The foss for choice of jumping first was won by Mr.
ileynard, whoa he ordered the horse to leap first. The
horse then came at the hurdle, ridden by William Wil-
son, but did not succeed in clearing it, slightly tipping
the hurdle as he went over. It was now Mr. Reynard's
turn to jump, when he cleared the hurdle at the first
attempt, and consequently won the match. Wilson then
tried the horse at a much greater height, when he
proved himself a first-rate leeper. Mr. Moore, the owner
of Wolf Dog, also mounted the horse, and took him
across the hurdles in a very gallant manner. The horse
stands about 15 hands high.—Yor/ahire Gazette.
TURKISH GRAIN.—The vessel lona, arrived in the
docks from Constantinople, has brought 3,000 quarters
of barley, comprising the entire cargo. This is, we
believe, the largest importation of grain a hich has taken
place this eeason from any port in Europe.
SIICCKING ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE FROM GUN-
POWDER.—Yesterday (Monday) a dreadful accident oc-
curred at the village of thntrisiencyn, near Carnarvon.
Elizabeth Jones, a charwoman, brought from Carnarvon
six pounds of gunpowder. As the evening was very wet,
the powder got damp, and when Mrs. Jones reached
home she placed it before the fire to dry. There were
four of her daughters sitting by the fireside at the time,
and the powder having taken fire, a fearful explosion
took place, the roof of the house was blown eff, and the
inmates dreadfully scorched. Mr. John Daniel and
others entered the house immediately after the accident,
and found ihe poor sufferers with their clothes on fire,
and their blackened skin and flesh hanging in rags from
their bones. The youngest daughter dhel soon after-
wards, and little hopes are entertained by the medical
men of the recovery of the others. Their names are
Perry Roberts, aged 15; Elizabeth Rsle rts, 20; Mar.
garet Jones, 32; and the mother, Elizabeth Jones, 55.
—Liverpool Mercury.
COURT OF ALDERMEN.—Yesterday a Court was
held fur tho dispatch of Lusiness. The Sheriff's re-
ported to the Court the state of the several City prisons.
The statements made by the medicel men as to the
health of the prisoners were, considering the period of
the year and the general condition of the metropolis,
extremely favourable. Slight fever and diarrhma exist
in some of them, but no dangerous maladies have made
their appearance. A memorial was presented from
several merchants in the City, complaining of the
great inconvenience to which merchants and other
gentlemen who had business to transact in :the
justice-room of the Mansion House were sub-
jected, in consequence of being obliged to come in
contact with very objectionable persons, in proceeding
to the place at which affidavits were received. The
Lord Mayor said he knew that the merchants had long
had cause to complain of the nuisance, and he had en-
deavoured to give some temporary eccemmedetion, but
it would be for the Court to apply a permanent and
effectual remedy. Several members of the Court bore
testimony to the statement that the nuisance was quite
intolerable, and that the skill of Mr. Bunting, the City
architect, would be admirably exercised he removing
what had been matter of complaint for a number of
years. The memorial has referred by unanimous con-
sent to a special committee.--Adjourned.
OPEN COURTS.-The new penal Act (which came
into operation on the 2d instant) provides that the room
or place in which a justice or justices shall sit to hear
and try cases shall be deemed an open and public court,
to which the public generally may have access, so far as
the same can conveniently contain them. This is
another step in the right direction, though the rooms
are generally, if not purposely, made too small. _But this
does not apply to cases under investigation where the
accused has to be sent for trial in a superior court.
CHEAP RAILWAY TRAINS.—By order of the Com-
missioners of Railways, upwards of 170 cheap or third-
class trains now run daily on the railways of the United
Kingdom extending over more than 4,000 miles, the
object of the Legislature being to eceure to the poorer
classes the means of travelling by railway at moderate
fare:, and in carriages protected from the weather. By
the Act it is incumbent upon every railway' company to
run one such train every day, at one penny per mile,
and a speed of at least twelve miles per hour. Children
under three years are to be taken without charge, and
under twelve years at half the charge for an adult.
Any neglect of these regulations subjects the company
to penalties, and deprives them of the benefit of the re-
mission of the passenger-tax which is allowed on all
cheap trains.
We have much pleasure in announcing that an
amateur dramatic performance will take place this
evening at the Strand I.leatre, the proceeds of which
are to be devoted to the laudable object of enlarging the
library of the Whittington Club. The programme of
the entertainments states that the performances will
consist of Douglas Jerrold's popular play of the Rent
Day, and Plancl6's farce of The Lean of a Lover, as well
as a miscellaneous concert. The respective parts in the
two dramas are to be sustained by em mbers of this insti-
tution, who have undertaken to get up the entertain-
ments at their own expense. We trust that their exer-
tions will be crowned with such success as to enable
them to carry out the object they have in view.
CHARING-CROSS IlosrrrAn.—Yesterday afternoon
a meeting of Governors and Cemmittee of Management
of the above hospital was held in the Boardroom of' the
institution; Taylor, Esq., in the chair. _During the
quarter. just ended, there had been admitted 338 in, and
3,390 out-patients; of accident cases there had been 547,
of which 77 had been received into the a ands, in all de-
partments being a great increase over the preceding
quarter. The report proceeded to state, that during the
past year 12,092 indigent sick peer bad been relieved,
of whom 1,155 had been it), and 10,9:7 cut-patients;
the whole cost of these had been only 2,292/. 4s. lid.;
of the number of out-patients, no fewer than 10,509
were freely admitted without any recommendation.
Two large wards aro unoccupied, the present resources
of the hoFpitcl being much too limited for the full exer-
cise of its useful operations, and the increasing applica-
tions for relief. The total number of patients since 1818
had been about 140,000 persons.
Yesterday the Loid Mayor entertained a large
party at dinner, amongst wham were the menibars of
the Centenary Club, of which his lordship is a member;
covers were laid for forty, and of those who partook of
the worthy chief magistrate's hospitality were the Pre-
sident of the College of Physicians (Dr. Paris), Sir Wil-
liam Man'na.y, Bart., Mr. Alderman Humphery, M.P.,
the Lord Mayor Elect, M.P., Sir George Carroll, the
Sheriffs (Fiords mid G-oodhart), the President of the

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS _DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondaries JAMES.)
SHANNON V. KEEN.
The plaintiff in this action is a sheriff.' officer, and
defendant is an attorney. The action was brought to
recover the sum of 61. Bs., for fee_, &c.
Defendant denied this liability, and also a set off
of 2001.:

Mr. PARRY, for the plaintiff, said the set off was. a
mere joke, and it was quite clear on the authority of a
number of men, that although an attorney was not gene-
rally personally responsible yet he might render himself
so by his own acts, and in this case he had done so, as
instead of leaving the; writs with the sheriff to be en-
forced as ho thought proper, had deputed the plaintiff as
his special bailiff by delivering the writs to him and
giving him instructions. He should prove these facts,
which he considered entitled the plaintiff to a verdict.
Several witnesses were examined to prove the work
done, the fees:due, and payments made by the plaintiff.
Mr. PARRY then quoted the case of Walbanke and
Masterman, 3C B Reports 94. The defendant's name,
however, was misprinted, and is not in the Index.
The SECONDARY said it was
,a great pity more atten-
tion was not paid to him.
The LEARNED COUNSEL contended that in that, and
many other cases, his ease was made out.
The SECONDARY thought that the mere delivery of a
writ to an officer was not binding on the attorney.
}Jere it was shown that the writ had found its way into
the hands of the officer, and it was a question ror the
jury to say whether there had been any specific di-
rections.
Mr. PARNELL contended that none had been proved,
but, mainly relied on the fact that no warrant had been
put in to show that the plaintiff was an officer of the
sheriff, and the writs alone were not evidence.
The SECONDARY was of the same opinion, observing
that a writ might be put into the hands of a party not an
Officer, and who would be a trespasser, and would not
make a charge for an illegal act.—Nonsuited ac-
cordingly.

NIARLBRO'-STREET—(TINS DAY).
There was not a single charge of any public interest
before the Court this morning. The whole time of the
magistrate was occupied in disposing of upwards of
forty begging and drunken charges. Amongst the latter
appeared a Mr. John Hyde, who described himself as
an editor. He was found in such a complete state of
intoxication that he had not quite recovered when he
Made his appearance before the magistrate. As it was
the first time, he was discharged.

MILDRED VERNON.—It is strongly suspected that
the name of Hamilton Murray, affixed to this bold work,
is only a nom de guerre, intended to conceal the real
writer. The authorship has been confidently attributed
to a noble personage to whom, however, we do not think
proper more particularly to allude. Among the numer-
ous original characters that have been recognised, inde-
pendently of La Lionne (Madame de Contades) and the
numerous French personages, are—Lord Hartford, Lord
Waterford, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lans-
downe, Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lady Ailesbury,
Lord Meibourne, Sir Robert Peel, Lady Eleanor Robin-
son, Lady Harriet Dorsey, &c. &c.—Evening Paper.
TUN CASTLIZREAGR MEMOIRS AND CORRESPOND-
ENCE.—The publication of this work, at the present
moment, will doubtless excite great attention. The
Morning Chronicle characterizes it as a " work of the
hightest and most universal interest, which places the
reader on intimate terms with many cf the rulers of
mankind in the days of our immediate progenitors and
ourselves. The letters in this valuable and remarkable
publication, though a considerable number of them were
written by Castlereagh, are chiefly those of his official
correspondents, and they are interspersed with many,
curious memorials and strange deletions from spies to
the Government of the day—constituting a large body
of the secret history of the epoch. It were superfluous
to insist on the extraordinary interest and importance
Which must belong to a work like this, containing so
many original and authentic memorials, and curious and
important documents, written by some of the most re-
markable men of an epoch the most strange and event-
ful, and which has preceded our own generation by so
short an interval, that the rear guard, as it were, is not
Yet below the horizon of actual life. These papers, in-
deed, have emerged more rapidly than is generally the
Case with records of the kind from the dust and mystery
of the archive, but, if there be any want of judgment, or
'want of delicacy in the publication of these State Papers,
We have been so profoundly interested in the perusal
of them, that we are tempted to exclaim—Oh 1 felix
culpa
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—About six o'clock on Fri-
day evening, as the Lyra steamer was canting, prepare,
tory to starting on her outward voyage, a passenger was
observed in dangerous proximity to the rope attached
to the quay. One of the hands on board the steamer, a
married man, named Peter Campbell, ran forward end
was in the act of dragging the passenger qut of harm's
Way, when the rope unfortunately got coill'd round one
of his ankles ; and in an instant, from the rapid pro-
gress the vessel was making, the foot was 'separated
from-the leg close by the ankle joint, the rope cutting it
through almost as completely as if it had been dune by
the surgeon's knife. The poor fellow was carried to the
Clyde police-office, where the services of Dr. Fraser
were procured, and the effusion of blood stopped. He
Was afterwards conveyed to the Royal Infirmary.—Glas-
90w Paper.
b Yesterday evening an inquest was held by Mr.
eldford
Parent
'eurY Wright, aged six years. The deceased, whose
s reside at. No. 64, Davies-street, Berkeley-
!L!square, was in the habit of playing with fire, for which
e had been repeatedly checked. On Sunday morning
last, during the absence of the mother, who bad left
the room to fetch a pitcher of water, the deceased, in
reaching over the fender, fell against the fire-grate, by

THE ORDER OF THE GARTER.—It is reported that
the vacant blue ribbon will be conferred Either on the
Marquis of Westminster or the Earl of Clarendon. This
is the third vacancy which has occurred among the
knights of this most noble order since the accession of
the present Government. During the administration
of Sir Robert Peel there occurred no less than nine
vacancies.

A POSER FOR THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A
Northumbrian farmer, who " feeds his flocks" on the
Cheviots, and never " reads the papers," had an agent Of
the Electric Telegraph Company thrown in his wav, and,
with the hospitality of his class, gave him a bed for the
night. While they were having a crack together over a
glass, the electricity-man gave his host a lecture, an hour
long, in explanation of the telegraph—its nature and
uses; concluding his discourse much to his own satisfac-
tion, and, as he believed, the edification of the farmer.
But no sooner had he done, than the wondering Tripto-
lemus, before closing his gaping, wondering mouth,
started the question—" How many head of sheep will it
carry to market?" The discomfited guest rose to his
legs, with a look of blank despair, took up his bedroom
candlestick (if there be such things on the Cheviots)—
and vanished.

THE ARMY.—The 6th Regiment of Dragoon
Guards (Carabiniers), at present stationed at Dundalk,

British Dragoons (Scotch Grey) are under orders to

Light Dragoons, which proceed to Dundalk; the 4th
Light Dragoons, now stationed at Newbridge, move to
Athlone, sending detachments as well to outposts; the
7th Hussars, now in Dublin, will relieve the lastmen-

NEW MARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING

TUESDAY.

The crowd on the heath this afternoon, notwithstand-

ing the weather from an early hour in the morning until
after the second race was very unfavourable, vastly ex •
ceeded the anticipations even of those who looked upon
numbers as the test of a "grand day." Amongst them
we must not class the " legitimists" of the turf, to whom
the arrival of about 2,500 people, by the special trains
from London, Norwich, Yarmouth, and Cambridge, was
a sight as novel as it was unwelcome. It is clear that
Newmarket will no longer be confined to the aristocratic
and sporting classes ; the Eastern Counties directors,
who have recently leased the branch from Chesterford to
Newmarket, havo hit upon the right way of making it a
valuable " feeder " not only by improving the general
traffic, but by making the cost of the trip to the foun-
tain head of the turf, nearly one-third less than is
charged for a return ticket on the Derby day. The
specimen we have seen on this occasion, distasteful as it
may be in some quarters, will, we have no doubt, lead to
the adoption of cheap trains on all great race days at
Newmarket. The weather, we have already stated, was
unpropitious for the greater part of the day; it cleared
up, however, about an hour before the Cesarewitch, and
was all that could be desired until near the close of the
racing. We have no time to dwell on the sport; it will
be teen that in one of the leeding events—the Clearwell
—the Duke of Richmond's mare lost her chance by an
accidental collision with Oquetos, and that the crack race
was carried off by an animal, who, until he came into
his present hands, was looked upon as nothing more
than a mile horse. Surplice, on whom such heavy
sums had been invested, never showed in front. The
race was run at a very severe pace from end to end; so
trying indeed was it, that out of thirty-two horses only
four were left with the slightest chance at the new
ground. The horses passed the winning chair at exactly
39 minutes before four, and the result was known in
Loudon in six minutes, the distance from the chair to
the Electric Telegraph Station, about a mile and a half,
being done by horse express.
The racing commenced at one o'clock with

ROBBERY IN A CHURCEIYARD.-011 Sunday even-

Pearson, was passing through All Saints' Churchyard,
Maidstone, when he was suddenly seized by a man who
had been concealed behind a tombstone, and who pinioned
his arms while a female accomplice rifltd his pockets,
with the contents of which, amounting to about five
shillings, they made oft On attempting to pursue her,
Pearson was struck a blow in the eye by the man, who

will be taken before the magistrates this day. Their

Taddeo Gaddi, lately given to the National Gallery by
Mr. Coningham, will be seen in addition to the modern
collection.—Athcaceuri.
THE WEST YORKSHIRE ELECTION.—The Quid-
nuncs of this extensive electoral district are already
brimful of speculation as to who may be the probable
successor of Lord Morpeth (now Earl of Carlisle) in the
representation of the riding. Various names have
already bean canvassed, with more or less probability
of their being started, hut nothing can be known with
anything like certainty until the leaders of the political
parties in the riding have had opportunities of confer-
ring on the subject. As Lord Wilton now sits for the
county of Wicklow, it is not expected that his Lordship
will become again a candidate; but it is thought that Mr.
Edmund Denison, the Chairman of the Great Northern
Railway Company, would have a good chance, as, at all
events, he would not have Lord Morpeth nor Mr. Cobden
fur competitors.
QUEEN'S THEATRE, HULL.—Considerable interest
was excited here on Thursday, the justice-room being
crowded on the occasion of an application for the re-
newal of license for the acting of stage plays in the
Queen's Theatre. Eleven magistrates were in attend-
ance, who, after hearing the paltry opposition against
renewing the license, determined to grant the license for
nine months, excepting November, December, and
January. Upon what principle they made the exception
it is difficult to say. It is, however, known those months
form the winter season of the patent theatre, so that we
must still have a monopoly, and the playgoers have no
choice of theatres. The Queen's Theatre cost the pro-
prietors a very heavy sum, and to oblige them to close
the place for three months must be attended with great
loss. The lessee will doubtless suffer severely by the
house being closed three of the best months in the year.
There must be something wrong in the law which gives
power to magistrates whereby property can be raised in
value or depreciated.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.-WOOLWICI3, OCT. 10.—The
baggage of the two companies of Royal Artillery under
orders for the West ;tidies was put on board the Atholl
troop-ship yesterday at Woolwich Dockyard, and the
companies will embark to-morrow. Captain the Hon.
R. Handcock's company proceeds to Barbadoes, under
the command of Second Captain Goodenough, with
LieutenantJ. F. Pennycuick, to relieve Captain Savage's
company, Ist battalion, at that station since November,
1843. Major Burnaby's company, 6th battalion, pro •
ceeds to Jamaica under the command of Second Captain
M. C. Dixon, with Lieutenant B. Lawson and Lieutenant
J. F. Soady, to relieve Captain Fisher's company, at that
station since November, 1843. Detachments are also
under orders to proceed to Barbadoes to join Captain
Taylor's 9th battalion, and the following officers proceed
with the detachments:—Second Captain Rogers, with
Lieutenant R. P. C. Jones, and Lieutenant C. Oldershaw.
Lieutenant Vandeleur and a detachment also proceed at
the same time to join Captain Morris's company 2d
battalion at Jamaica. The total number for Barbadoes,
in addition to the officers named, is eight non-commis-
sioned officers, and 130 men, with six women. The total
number for Jamaica, in addition to the officers named,
is eight non-commissioned officers and 116 men, with
six women. Captain Goodenough, being the senior
officer, will have the bharge of the companies during the
voyage.

SALE OF SIR CHARLES KNIGHTLEY'S BULLS.—At

A WHALE IN THE FIRTH OF CLYDE.—On Thurs-
day last a party of ladies and gentlemen left Port Ban-
natyne, in Bute, on a pleasure sail across the bay, to
enjoy a pic-nic on onn of the hills above Loch Striven.
They had not proceess.ed far when they were joined by
a whale, which followed them very closely in the wake
of the yacht. much to the alarm of the ladies. On their
return from the loch the fish renewed its attentions to
the party, but finally it left them near the mouth of the
Kyles, having " blown off steam " vigorously during
the greater part of the cruise. A gentleman on board,
who has been in the Polar Seas, estimated the length of
the whale at from 25 to 30 feet. It was one of the bottle-
noSed species. A whale, possibly the same one, was re-
cently seen in the neighbourhood of Largr.—Renfrew-
shire Advertiser.
