returned into harbour on Friday to coal and make
good defects.
ROYAL 11A/11:U5.-11e number of recruits now

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(From the Times.)
The rpproaching close of the Exhibition nova begins
to be felt unmistakably. Yesterday 3,205!. 133. was
taken at the doors, and there were 68,532 visitors.
Among them came Mary lierlynack' the Cornish
octogenarian, and, as we have received several appli-
cations for her address, we may state that it is 12,
Homer-place, Crawford-street, Marylebone.
We have been requested to say that certain an-
nouncement of jury awards recently made by a morn-
ing contemporary are entirely inaccurate, the names
of three jurors in one case being given as the winners
of great medals, and in another section that of one
juror. Third-class medals are also spoken of, though
no such distinction exists or is contemplated. Pre-
mature and incorrect announcements of this kind in -
flict a large amount of practical injustice, and the
authorities of the Exhibition charged av ith the
management of that department are naturally indig•
tient at the attempts made to forestall their own la-
bours, which will be continued up to the last moment,
so that publicity, when it is invited and desirable, Drill
have the advantage of truth iu its favour.
The programme of the closing is so far settled, and
circulars are about to be issued to exhibitors, into; m-
log the m that the building will be closed to the pub-
lic on Saturday the 11th of October; that on the 13th
and 14:h they will have the privilege of going there
with two friends, and that on the 15th they are in-
vited to be present at twelve o'clock at the meeting
of the Royal Commissioners. By this arrangement
the exhibitors will have the farewell view of the
Crystal Palace, and a deference is thus shown to their
labours and their sacrifices on its behalf, which we
are sure they will not be slow to appreciate. With
a view to rendering the ceremony of the 15th as im-
posing as the circumstances will permit, Mr. Fox, the
eminent contractor, has addressed a letter to the Exe-
cutive Committee, offering the services of the Sacred
Harmonic Society in assembling 1,500 performers on
the occasion, the whole to be conducted by Mr. Costa.
As the period for the closing approaches, the propriety
of some respectful observances of form to accompany
it appears to be more deeply felt, but the Royal Com-
mission make no sign upon the subject. What
was undertaken with the highest sanction
of the State and with the solemnities of
religion should obviously not be allowed to expire
without some expression of gratitude for success,
however simple and unpretending. There are, un-
doubtedly, difficulties presented by the season of the
year and by other causes; but we cannot think that,
with so many ingenious minds ready to devise a
suitable method of showing public thankfulness, the
practical realization of that sentiment should be
withheld. If the Commission and the Prince have
not the spirit to undertake it, the people will probably
do it after their own fashion ; and, though a sponta-
neous effort of this kind is open to many disadvantsges
and drawbacks, its genuine character cannot be
doubted, and the impression which it produces, if suc-
cessful, is superior to the most premeditated and skil-
ful arrangements for display.
We yesterday announced that the Royal Commis-
lion had given Messrs. Fox and Henderson legal
notice of their intention to have the building re-
moved. It has long been known that the surplus
would not be applied to its preservation, and, min-
gled with the interested opposition of private indie',_
duals, there has been struggling in the public
mind for expression a desire that the fire.„e of the
Great Exhibition should rest for sur7port upon no
perishable traces of its existence. There has been
a widely entertained dread the, the celebrity of an
event so successful and so grand in itself might be
tarnished by the retersi!ron in permanence of an
edifice intended only to he temporary. The
roof was evidently faulty, and could not be , re-
paired. The plan of a winter garden might perhaps
I prove a failure, and failure on such a spot could not
be contemplated without pain. By their charter the
Commission had no power over the disposal of the
surplus, a contingency not contemplated in that docu-
ment. No aid for the Crystal Palace or for Mr.
Paxton's scheme could be expected, therefore, from
that quarter ; but even if the Commission had a choice,
they had pledged their money for different purposes.
Obviously a body constituted as theirs was, could not
with propriety commit itself to objects which, how-
ever praiseworthy, were so different from those fur
which it was formed. As we have already stated,
among the schemes started for the appropriation of
the surplus there appears to be but one point on which
the desirable unanimity appears to prevail. That point
is, that the principal, whatever it may amount to after
the payment of all just and reasonable claims, should
be funded for the promotion of future exhibitions.
Looking upon this as a settled matter, a number of
public wants have made themselves manifest in con-
sequence of the great event that has signalized this
year, and which had that event not happened, might
long have remained in obscurity. In the first place,
it will not henceforth be denied that a great com-
munity like that of London, embracing 2,000,000
of human beings, ought to have provided for them,
since it is practicable, a place of public resort where
they can obtain healthful enjoyment, and innocent
and suitable recreation under cover, and independ-
ently of the influences of a most uncertain climate.
The inhabitants of the metropolis have been clearly
shown that this is possible, and there can be no good
argument for withholding from them an advantage
and a blessing so unmistakable. In the capitals of
many other countries nature has provided a steadiness
of climate which renders shelter from the changes of
the weather less necessary but here we are always at
the mercy of the skies for our most natural and in-
dispensable pleasures. Parks for the recreation of
the wealthier classes stand least in need of such edi-
fices as the Crystal Palace. Primei facie, therefore,
the most appropriate site for a building of the kind
would be one of the new spaces recently or now about
to be cleared for the use of the middle and humbler
orders. Some time ago a suggestion was made that
the Crystal Palace, after it had served its present pur-
pose, should be removed to the new park at Battersea,
and there converted into a winter garden, and appro-
priated to such other purposes of public instruction
and rational amusement as might be deemed desirable.
'that suggestion was at first allowed to drop, but has
lately, we understand, been seriously revived, and
is now under close discussion and examination.
The public will no doubt be surprised that the ques-
tion of preserving the remarkable edifice in Hyde-
park has taken this form ; but, upon consideration, we
think they will not be indisposed to receive favourably
a plan which has many points to recommend it. There
will be no opposing interests to the Crystal Palace at
Battersea. The steam-boat companies, the railways,
and those who hope to avail themselves of the new
park, will all be strongly for the removal. The inha-
bitants of Kensington who think the building a nui-
sance will rejoice, and the ornamental character of the
exterior, called in question at the West-end, will not
be disputed on the river. In fact, a site may there be
appropriated to it which may render its aspect ex•
tremely imposing, and do something to relieve the
banks of the Thames from the ruthless desecration
and disfigurement to which they have so long been
exposed. Again, at Battersea the winter garden,
and the other popular attractions which such a
structure might combine beneath its roof, would bo
far more easily within the reach of 'the mass of
the inhabitants of London than could be the case
in Hyde-park. Steamers might deliver their pas-
sengers on the the terrace whereon the building stood,
There is one railway close at hand, and there will be
another on the north side of the river shortly. 'The
new suspension-bridge in course of construction opens
up the communication to Pimlico and the fashionable
parts of the town. As another roof seems requisite,
the removal would afford an opportunity for supply-
ing that defect. But, above and beyond all other
advantages, the Crystal Palace might be made the
medium of elevating the rude and uncivilised tastes
of those swarms who, during the summer months
especially, betake themselves to the river for amuse-
ment. Battersea is a favourite haunt of this class,
and the spectacle which it presents, especially on Sun-
day afternoons, is disgraceful to the metropolis. There
are collected thousands of the gamins of London, of
the idle and the dissolute of both sexes, who while
away their time in sports of the lowest and most vul-
gar kind. A large gipsy encampment is close at
hand, the inhabitants of which prey upon the spare
coppers of the young cockneys. Swings and round-
abouts are in full and dangerous operation ; rifle gal-
leries " for all nations" are in abundance, and the
owners of them drive a roaring trade. " The finest
Barcelona nuts" may be won by shooting at the paste-
board figures of clowns, who grin as they receive the
bolt. Cocoanuts, "warranted milky," are the prizes
of the successful competitors at " knock-'etn•down."
Then there are donkey rides and races on the most
miserable screws of poneys, fit only for the knacker's-
yard ; vendors of unripe fruit, stale pastry, and dele-
terious drinks, hawk about their goods, and " cold
nectar," and " sherbet," anything but " blest," flow
from filthy reservoirs into still filthier glasses at the
rate of a halfpenny to each customer. Cold fried
fish, pickled onions, pettitoes, and " hot pickled eels"
are among the choicest comestibles on sale, and the
spare pence that such attractions as we have enume-
rated do not absorb go in lotteries, weighing machines,
" strength testers," fortune telling, or beer. One
space of ground, not more than two acres in extent,
is sublet to an enterprising gipsy for 30/., and he not
only covers that expense but makes a handsome profit
from the itinerant costermongers whom he accommo-
dates. This will give some idea of the way in which
the whole is managed ; but the picture of Battersea
would not be complete were we not to mention that
it is the favourite house of pigeon shooting and of
pedestrianism—that there edifying matches are
constantly in progress, in which sporting and
fancy celebrities may be backed to any
amount. To such scenes and amusements
the Government plan of a public park will
necessarily put a stop, but a park for the people
without a shelter in bad weather, or the facilities for

rational enjoyment, drives them back upon the rude
and vulgar devices of the commonest fair. We can-
not hope altogether to extirpate such tastes as those
which find their gratification iu the manner described.
Extinguished at Battersea they will re-appear else-
where. Every effort, however, to provide for the
proper entertainment of the humbler classes diminishes
the tendency to seek for pleasure in such scene:, nor
can it be questioned that along the banks of their
favourite Thames there is a lamentable want of decent
accommodation for the inhabitants of London. To
supply that want the idea of removing the Crystal
Palace to Battersea Park has been taken up. There
are pecuniary difficulties in the way, and arrangements
necessary with that awkward power in the State, the
Woods and Forests, through which it is not easy to
effect a passage; but, if the public are favourable,
minor objects will disappear, and we shall avoid the
stupidity and extravagance of totally destroying an
edifice which is acknowledged to be the greatest mar-
vel of. the Exhibition, and which has cost us a large
sum of money to build, which we want for many
useful purposes, but for one especially, and which,
though turned out of Hyde peak, may, in a less pre-
tentious locality, still lay claim to the title of tLe
Palace of Industry. The Red and the White House
at Battersea may with advantage give way to the
great greenhouse which it is contemplated to send
there.

BLOOMERISIII IN nwsnuity.
Last evening a meeting, convened by the advocates
of the new American costume, of which Mrs. Amelia
Bloomer is the reputed founder, was held in the
British Institution, Cowper-street, Finsbury. It was
announced that the proceedings would commence at
half-past eight o'cloet, and that Mrs. C. H. Dexter
would address the meeting upon the proposed Trans-
atlantic reform. Long before seven o'clock many
hundreds of persons assembled in front of the build-
ing ; awl, though the crowd was extremely dense, the
mob unusually violent, and the demands for admis-
P.'.on indescribably clamorous, the clock struck eight
before the doors were opened. As may be readily
imagined, the assembled persons pressed with great
zeal into the building; some were trodden down,
others fainted, and the large hall, which is capable of
holding about from 1,200 to 1,500 persons, rapidly
filled. The prices of admission were fixed as fol-
lows :—For the hall, 3d. ; for reserved seats, 6d. ;
and for the platform, Is. ; but owing to the want of
arrangement that prevailed, not one out of a hundred
wbo entered the building paid anything for admis-
sion. Of the persons present five to one were men,
who could not be supposed to have any direct interest
i❑ the change of costume which the Bloomers re-
commend.

The interval which elapsed between the admission
of the auditory and the time appointed for the en-
trance of the Bloomers was passed in a most disordery
manner. All sorts of jokes and witticisms were bandied
about, and some very coarse remarks were made at
the expense of the dress reformers. As the principal
performers were after time, it was suggested that a
grand chorus of "Buffalo gals, can't you come out
to-night," would be an appropriate invitation to ex-
pedition. Soon after this one of the vergers of St.
Paul's Cathedral, a portly•looking man, placed him-
self in the presidential chair, and was loudly but
ironically cheered.
A gentleman, who seemed to be an official person,
jumped upon the table, at this stage of the proceed-
ings, and delivered the following address :—" Ladies
and Gentlemen—l am requested by the managers to
state that Mrs. Dexter is outside, and as soon as the
police can clear the crowd which is pressing upon the
doors without, she will appear." Another person in-
formed the meeting that Mrs. Dexter would appear
so soon as the uproar ceased. She could not be ex-
pected to enter while the meeting was conducting
itself in a manner disgraceful to a British audience.
—(Great uproar.)
The Verger of St. Paul's—The sooner the better,
or else there will be a jolly row.—(Laughter and
cheers.) I don't much care, I've got a very com-
forteble seat here.

lialf-past nine o'clock arrived, and the indignation
of the meeting vented itself in the most fearful yel-
ling. Threats of damage to the building were pro-
claimed, and great anxiety prevailed lest injury might
be inflicted.

A man, habited in theßloomer costume, came upon
the platform, and addressed the meeting as follows:
" Ladies and gentlemen, according to arrangement,
my wife, Mrs. Dexter, is here in this room. We have
been waiting in the next room for half an hour, and
could not get out ; but if you will be quiet Mrs.
Dexter will come.—(Uproar.) I wish her to come
forward if she is in the room. When she was in the
next room she was obliged to change her costume with
another lady, in order to get through the crowd. I
missed her, and I can tell no more."—(Uproar.)
As there appeared no symptom of Mrs. Dexter's
arrival, loud cries again rose from every part of the
hall. Several gentlemen demanded to know who were the
committee appointed to manage the matter, and Mr.
Taylor having announced himself one of that body,
he was informed that proceedings would be taken
against him and others at the police-office, for ob-
taining money under false pretences. This intima-
tion was received with great favour by the meeting,
who cheered it most vociferously.
A loud cry was raised for the chairman, and the
verger of St. Paul's, who had been occupying his
post, and calmly surveying the agitated state of the
meeting, rose and beat a hasty retreat. There was
another cry for Mr. Dexter, but he had disappeared.
Mr. Taylor, a committeeman, informed the meeting
that it was intended to defer the meeting until next
Monday, when the hall would be opened free. On
being asked to return the money paid fur admission,
he said he could not find the checktaker.—(Loud ex-
pressions of indignation.) He was about attempting
to effect his escape, when he was roughly seized and
made prisoner by the gentlemen on the platform.
The excitement at this stage of the proceedings
was of a frightful character. Through a window at
the extreme end of the hall, a dummy, in rough
Bloomer costume, was suspended. There was a des-
perate rush from one end of the hall to the other, and
many persons were seriously injured.
A young woman, who had been standing in the
body of the ball, made her way to the platform, and
ascended the table. Under the impression that it was
Mrs. Bloomer in ordinary female costume, the meet-
ing cheered her with great enthusiasm, and then re-
lapsed into a dead silence. She then addressed the
meeting as follows :—Ladies and gentlemen, I have
got on this platform to show you that if Mrs.
Dexter is here in this room she can come up
here with the greatest ease.—(Heart hear.) Gen-
tlemen will allow her to pass, and not only allow her
to pass, but assist her if she will make the attempt.
—(Cheers.) Come forward, Mrs. Dexter, if you are
here.—(Renewed cheering.) Come forward, if you
do not wish to make fools of the ladies and gentlemen
who are present. Mrs. Dexter, I call upon you to
come forward and show yourself to these gentlemen.
There is no corner of the room from which you can-
not pass through these gentlemen, dense as the crowd
is.—(Cheers.) If Mrs. Dexter will not come for-
ward, let those who are connected with her return the
money that has been paid at the doors. If she does
not do that, all this proceeding will be put down as a
swindle. My opinion is, ladies and gentlemen, that
you are collected here to be laughed at or to have
your pockets picked. I am told that a committee of
men undertook to manage this affair; why, then,
don't they do their duty. If women had formed
the committee you would have seen the lady (Mrs.
Dexter).—(Loud cheers.)
A call was raised for Mr. Taylor, the committee-
man, and he stood side by side on the table with the
valorous young woman who had undertaken to lead
the meeting. He presented a most pitiable and la-
mentable appearance, being a person of small stature.
The young woman, taking him by the hand, said—
Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the responsible
parties, one of the committee. Mrs. Dexter has
gone, the check-taker has gone, and this poor young
man has been left to settle the matter with you.
The young woman (addressing Taylor)—What
have you to say, sir ?
Mr. Taylor, looking very disconsolate, held his hat
before his eyes, but volunteered no explanation.
Some conversation took place between Mr. Taylor
and his fair assailant, during which time the auditory
remained very silent. At length she said, " This
gentleman says Mr. Dexter has gone to seek his wife,
_(Rears of laughter)—and yet they say Mrs. Dexter
is in the room. What do they mean by all this?
Let this poor young man explain it. He says be can't
give you coy information, and so here he is, and I
throw him upon your mercy. Do what you like with
him. Wait a minute, however, and I will ask him
question or two.—(Loud cheers )

The young woman—What are your name and ad.
drets ?

I Mr. Taylor (very slowly and very feebly)—l don't
think it right to tell.
The young woman—Thera is a man who calls .wirre '44
self an Englishman and is ashamed of his
(Hear, hear.) 1 will ask him another question;4lo
that is, whether he knows how the money whietrhall,,li'lliz‘.l47.4"
been collected at the doors has been disposed of?
_
Mr. Taylor—l don't know, the checktakekkime.
gone.—(l-lisses and yells.) ‘4,...:<`-•
The young woman (addressing Taylor)—have * N
got any money ?—(Tremendous cheering.)
.Mr. Taylor made some reply, but it was inaudible
to every one but the young woman, who said, " Gen-
tlemen, he says he has got money in his pocket, but it
dues not belong to him."
Upon this announcement being made, a vast body
of persons pushed towards the platform, determined to
take summary vengeance upon poor Taylor. He was
driven right and left with merciless violence, sod
would probably have sustained some iejury, had i of
the police ent,red, and seei.ig the danger to Rhiel he
was exposed, judiciously removed him.
Several other persons addresrd the meeting in in
impassioned manner, denouncing thrl whole al'idtr as
an unmitigated hoax and unqualified swindle. '1 he
remarks wnich were directed pPrsonzily towards Mee.
Dexter and the leaders of the Bloomer party the law
of libel forbids us to publish.
As there seemed to be no chance of the promi,ed
address by Mrs. Dexter, the auditory dispersed with
violent invectives against Bloomerism and its ad-
vocates.
There seems to be no doubt that the immense nun
of persons who assembled completely daunted Mrs.
Dexter. It is equally certain that, although there
were many persons present who were disposed to treat
the matter as a joke, the vast majority of the audience
would have secured for Mrs. Dexter a fair hearing,
and have protected her from any annoyance. The
attention which the young women, whose part in the
proceedings we have detailed, met is a sufficient ex-
emplification of this fact.

LAUNCH OF 7'HE DEMERARA ROYAL
MAIL STEAMER.
The launch of this colossal steam-ship, built for the
Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company, took
place at Bristol on Saturday evening's tide. The Deme-
rara was constructed by Messrs. Patterson, of Bristol,
well known as the builders of the Great Britain, the
Great Western, the Royal mail steamers Severn, Avou,
&c. The launch was intended to have taken place at
ten o'clock in the morning, at which hour large crowds
assembled to witness the ceremony, and the numerous
vessels in the floating harbour were gaily dressed in the
flags of all nations. Owing, however, to some unforn.
seen delay, the water had fallen about two feet before
all was ready; the launch accordingly had to be post-
poned till the evening's tide, when everything went oif
as prosperously as could be wished. She was christened
by the lady of Lieutenant Haste, RN., the Commodore
of the West India Steam Company's ships. With the
exception of the Great Britain, the Demerara
is the largest steam-ship afloat; her length of keel is
276 feet; length between the perpendiculars, 282
feet ; length over all, 316 feet (about 6 feet shorter
than the Great Britain). Her breadth of beam is 41
feet, and extreme width from the outside of the paddle•
bexes, 75i feet; depth to the main deck, 26 feet S
inches; depth of spar-deck, 7 feet.; tonnage, old mea-
surement, 2,318 tons; new, upwards of 3,000 tons. Sho
is; built of sound British oak, teak, and pine, is diago-
nally.trussed with iron, has copper fastenings throughout
to the 21 feet Mark, and iron fastenings above that. Sho
will be propelled by two engines made by Messrs. Caird
and Co., of Greenock, on the side-lever principle, of
the combined power of 750 horses, or 24,500,0001 b., 96..
inch cylinders, and 9 -feet stroke. They will be attached
to a pair of Morgan's patent feathering float-paddles.
An elegant dejeuner was given on the occasion at the
White Lion Hotel, Bristol, at which about 50 gentlemen
sat down. Mr. Patterson presided, supported by Cap-
tain Mangles (one of the directors of the company) and
Lieutenant Haste, R.N. Captain Mangles stated that
Lieutenant Haste, as their commodore, bad been di-
rected to inspect the whole of the five new vessels built
for the company, and select the one he preferred for his
personal command. Lieutenant Haste had selected the
Demerara—a fact that spoke volumes in her favour.

THE QUICKEST VOYAGE 7'o CHINA.
Our Aberdeen correspondent says :—The Chrysolite,
a clipper ship, built at Aberdeen by the Messrs. Hall
for the Liverpool and China trade, has just made thaw
voyage from Liverpool to Anjeer in eighty days. This
is the quickest voyage on record. The Oriental made
the same passage out in 89 days, and that was without
precedent ; but, for the present, the Chyrysolite has
the F.lm. This ship, we understand, was built ex-
pressly to contest the voyage with the Oriental, and no
expense was spared on her to make her worthy of the,
British name. She is, we believe, of 500 tons burden,
per register, but carries nearly 900 tons of tea, and this
is the desideratum which this new build has realized, and
which promises soon to be generally adopted. It is now
eleven years since the Aberdeen bow was invented by
the Messrs. Hall, of that city, and its history is highly
creditable to the private enterprise of the city. The lasts
aro simply these,—ln the ) car 1839 a company was
formed in Aberdeen to run a class of superior suiting
vessels in opposition to the steamboats of the Abtrdeeu
and London Seam Navigation Company ; they ap-
pli(d to the Messrs. Hall to construct a model for a
fast schooner : these gentlemen suggested a devia-
tion from the ordinary form, and showed also that by
the new law of tonnage measurement the properties of
fast sailing and large tonnage burden might be com-
bined. They proposed to run the stern out so as to form
the cutwater, and to make the floor and run in propor-
tion to the sharpness of the bow. The vessel built on
this model was masted end rigged pretty much after the
channel fashian, and surprised everybody by the quick-
ness of the voyages which she made bete een Aberdeea
and London. Three other vessels were built on the
same plan; and thenceforward the Aberdeen bow was a
triumph in naval architecture, Since then Messrs. Hall
have built 50 vessels, measuring about 30,000 tons per
register; they were tor owners in London, Liverpool,
Leith, China, and India; and it is a remarkable fact,
that only one of these ships has been wrecked or cast
ashore, or even seriously damaged, although they have
been all constantly at sea since they were built. The
other shipbuilders there have also adopted the bow; and
vessels for the Indian and China trade are turn,c_d off the
stocks almost every month. These clippers hrhe re•
peatedly outsailed the best ships in the British navy;
and it is to be hoped that they will soon supersede the
common model—now the cause of a great loss of life
and property.—Moreinq Paper.

FATU._ OMNIBUS COLLISION.—On Sunday evening
last, as ME Joel Slater, butcher, of Lower Belgrave-place,
Pimlico, was returning home from Richmond in a light
spring cart, accompanied by his housekeeper, when passing
Kew-bridge one of the Brentford omnibuses, which was
coming along at a smart pace, caught the wheel of the
shandry before Mr. Slater could pull on one side, and over-_
turning the vehicle precipitated both him and his house-
keeper a considerable distance into the road. When taken
taken up it was found that Mr. Slater's neck was dislocated.
Surgical assistance was immediately procured, but he sbortly
expired. The housekeeper was picked up quite insens.;hle,
and it was ascertained that she had suffered a compou.ed
fracture of the leg.

FIRES AT GRIZENIVICH AND APSLEY PHILATT'S
GLASS Worms.—Last night, shortly before twelve o'clock.
considerable confusion was caused in the immediate neigh.
bourhood of Holland-street, Blackfriars-road, in consequence
at dense volumes of smoke issuing from the several wiei-
dews of the mustard mills and Apsley Pellatt's glass werks
in that thoroughfare, which impressed the inhabit tints
that both the tremendous pile of buildings were on lie,
and messengers were forthwith sent in various directions to
call the engines. In the space of a few minutes the West
of England and Brigade engines, to the number of seven
reached the spot, when it was found that the fire had occurred
through the overheating of one of the kilns in the last-named
premises, and that a quantity of timber had become ignited.
ilhe workmen on the premises got the engine belonging to
the establishment out, and fortunately succeeded in extin-
guishing the fire in time to prevent a terrible confiragreVon.
About two hours previously a mounted express arrived at the
Southwark-bridge station, with intelligence of a fire having
broken out at Greenwich, near the church. Mr. Henderson,
the foreman of the D district, immediately started with an
engine and a strong body of firemen to the scene, when it was
ascertained that the outbreak had occurred on the premises
belonging to Mr. T. Moore, a stay-manufacturer in Stock-
well-street, immediately facing Greenwich parish church.
It appears that whilst Mrs. Moore was arranging her head
dress, she accidentally set fire to some wearing apparel, and
in an instant the flames shot over the room, and set fire to
everything therein. Mr. Moore, jun., in rendering assistance
to subdue the fire, was much burned:over the hand. The
parish engine with that belonging to her Majesty's Dock-
yard, having arrived, before the news could be conveyed to
London the lire was happily extinguished, but not until con-
siderable damage was done, not merely to the contents, but
also to the building. Mr. Moore was insured in the Royal
Exchange Eire. office.
EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.— Captain Graves of the
barque Panama, arrived at New Orleans on the 2(.1 rust.,
from Rio ee Janeiro, reports that while off the Grand
Caymans, on the ::id ult., felt a severe shock of an eiArth
quake, which shook his vessel very much. It occurred at
about five r.M.
CoLaamoa oN HORSEBACK.—Coleridge was a re-
markably awkward horseman—so much so as generally to
attract notice. lie was once riding along the turnpike-road
in the county of Durham, when a wag, approaching
noticed his peculiarity, and (quite mistaking his man)
thought the writer a fine subject for a little sport, when, as
he drew near, he thus accosted Mr. C. :—" I say, young man,
did you meet a tailor on the road ?" " Yes," replied Mr. C.
(who was never at a loss for a rejoinder), "I did; and he
told me, if I went a little farther, I should meet a goose:"
The assailant was struck dumb, while the traveller jogged on.

KOSSUTH.

°he full accusation brought against Kossuth

aeares in the Pester :Zeiturg, as one in the long list
thirty-six persons whose names were affixed to the
gellowe a kew days ago. To each name is appended
e sketch of the 1i and the exploits that entitle the
einer to the charge of high treason and its attendant
7'll.lislitnen,. Kossuth is thus described:—" Ludwig
liossuth, born in Monch, county of Zemplin, Hun-
gary, 47 years old, of the Protestant religion, married,
lather of three children, advocate and newspaper
editor, Hungarian Finance Minister, and deputy of
the city of Pesth at the Hungarian Diet, has (from
the beginning to the end of the 'Hungarian revo-
lution) played the principal part, and this pre-
eminence was particularly shown in October, 1848,
when he prevailed upon the Diet to remain to-
gether and not obey the Imperial mandate dissolv-
ing it ; further, that he took upon himself the
presidency of the provisional government, or so-
yelled committee of national safety, and issued
paper money in order to furnish means for an armed
resistance to the Imperial Government, which he de-
veloped in a dangerous manner by recruitings, orga-
aization of a National Guard, and ‘Landsturm'—that
he himself joined Ike army in its invasion of the
Austrian archduchy,' declared the succession of
Francis Joseph a usurpation—transferred the seat of
the Diet from Pesth to Debrecsin on the approach of
Mae royal forces 'milder Windischgratz—that by means
of exhortations and proclamations, by rewards, and
martial courts, he raised the enthusiasm of the army
and the peoßle, and excited them to go on with the
revolution, and tried, to gain the sympathy of fo-
reign countries through his agents abroad—that he,
finally, on the 13th of April, in a private conference,
and on the 14th in a public sitting, proclaimed the
festal separation of Hungary from the Empire,
i out-
lawed the sacred dynasty, chose a ministry n his
eheracter of Governor, took the oath of independence
on the 14th of May, and on the 181 h of May, and on
June 27, 1849, preached a crusade against the allied
forces of Austria and Russia, and ruled Hungary
with the power of dictator, till at last he was com-
pelled by the events of the war to resign (August 11,
at Arad), and soon afterwards fled into Turkey."
Guyon is described as "Richard Guyon, Esq.,
native of Bath, in Somersetshire, England, who
served us Lieutenant, in the Austrian Hussars, quitted
the service and married a Countess Spleny, and be-
Came a gentleman farmer. On the breaking out of
tee revolution he joined the rebellion, and was soon
sensed to the rank o(Colooel in the insurgent army.
Fought at Minns warth and Tyrnau, stormed the
pose of Bcanitzko, brought the news of Georgy's
:Ltcroaeh to the Coinorn garrison,, conquered under
otter, in the nights of July 1.3 and 14, 1849, at
iiiegyes, and with the Polish and Italian legions
covered the retreat of Kossuth to Orsova. He then
escaped to Turkey with Bem."
Besides the list of names which have already been
given in The Sun, thirty-eight others of the fugitive
llungariin insurgents were summoned on the 22d
by an edict from the military courts, to appear
and take their trial for high treason. Ninety days
is given them, at the end of which period
1.1 who do not appear will be sentenced,
end the sentence executed, as in the other
,airty-six cases, where the period given had long
c-.e.apsed. Among these names are the following :
Alex. Lukacs (the Hungarian Government Commis-
pry), Baron Alednyanssy, Anton, and C. Rosslopi,
'Taunt Alexander Teleky, Colonel of Honveds, and
Francis Pulsky, Kossuth's agent in London.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Sept.
SUGAR.—To-day the better descriptions of yellow
West India Sugar were operated in with more freedom
,or grocery purposes; still merchants were disposed
to sell at previous terms. There was a reluctance
operate in refining brown and in inferior yel-
:;''N, although the terms acceded to were rather under
*.hose of Friday. A public sale of 175 hhds Barba-
iloes went generally al previous terms, fine yellow sell-
lee- at 30s 6d to 40s, good mid to good 36s to 3Ss, low to
`.riddling 33s to 355, good and middling grainy yellow

grainy greyish 35e, low brown ditto 325, ene lot very
low soft 325. Of West India arrivals have been large
since Friday.

scale in Relined Goods by home dealers, rates are still
on the decline, and 433 6.1 to 443 is now the general

tion sales are trifling, and easier prices are taken.

to 40s; ord to mid 36s to 38s; damp and washed 34s to
193 Gd; mid yellow like Mauritius 33s to 345. Of Mad-
ras none were offered at auction, and little done pri-
vately, whilst easier rates were taken.

good to find realize 46s to 58s, low to mid 37a to 453 per
awt, of the supply of yet scanty.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a reluctenco was shown to
I,p'arate in Plantation Ce)!on Coffee. Of 298 casks and
bags at auction, a small portion only found buyers;
tether lower rates mid went at 51s t0...63s ; low mid
494 to 503; fine fine ord 45s to 465; flue

10d to 11d. In stronc, sorts transactions have been upon
a ,small scale at 11 to is Id, and in superior and
Pekoe kinds at is lid to Is 6d; an impression exists that
lower rates will prevail for these sorts on account of large
supplies. There is at present no further reduction to
notice for green, still dealers operate with reluctance,
supply Ins not decreased, and the lower sorts are least
in request, but Imperial is offered at a reduction. Few
trrr.sactions have taken place in Scented or Pekce sorts,
arifit at previous moderate terms there are free sellers.
Ai% Souehong purchases are trifling, although 9d to 1s
7,^r lb have been accepted for ord and mid, is Id to 2s

Turkey pulled. Figs and Sultanas are not much in de-
mand, and offered at 60s to 655. In Muscatels pur-
chases are ilimited with sellers at from 60s to 70s, and

scale. Calcutta 2to 5 per cent. refraction at 21a to 28s
6d, and lesser refraction at 253 to 27s 6d. At auction

refined, however, has been purchased with more freedom
at 293 6d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is held for 14s 6d to
15s, but there is less business doing.
COCIIINEAL.—TO-day Cochineal was less in demand,
and former rates are supported with difficulty. At
auction 100 bags Honduras were in part sold at 2s lld to
to 34 6cl for ord to fine Silvers.
INDIA RUBBER.—Today at auction 805 bags and 31
cases fiue old well-seasoned at is 8d to 2s.

INDIGO.—I,I East India transactions have been again
trifling for all purposes, although there are sellers rather
under previous terms, and an impression exists that a
further reduction will take place. The quantity declared
for auction on Tuesday next is now 21,370 chests. In
Spanish transactions are small, and a desire is evinced to
sell Sobres at 2s 6d to 3s Bd, and Cortes at 3s 8d to 4s 9d
per lb.
TALLOW.—Although lower rates have been again ac-
cepted for Russian on the spot, yet only limited trans-
actions have taken place, and there are sellers of fine
old yellow Candle at 28s 61 to 38s 9d, new at 39a
to 39s 3d per cwt. For delivery the contracts entered
into are of little consequence, although the rates taken
have been 38s 9d to 393 for last three months; and
39s 6d to 40s for the early part of next year. Home
melted is, however, in good request, and realised 38s to
38s 6d, net cash. Other sorts are at present not much
in request, and there having been a lair supply rather
lower rates are accepted. At auction GOO pckgs South
American were in part sold at 35s to 35s 6d, low 34a to
34s 9d; 120 casks Australian—Beef 36s 6d to 37s 6d;
Mutton 38s to 393. For auction 100 eks, &e, are
declared.

Oils.—There is a reluctance to operate in Linseed
Oil for all purposes, and prices continue to decline ;
sales having been made at 31s to 31s 3d per cwt on the
spot. For delivery there are sellers at 30s 3d to 30s 9d,
and few transactions have taken place. Operations to
a fair extent have been made in Rape Oil—brown at
303 6d to 31s, pale 325; Foreign Refined 33s 6d to 345,
and brown 31s 9d to 325. Palm met with greater atten-
tion, and rates have improved; fine sort realizing 27s to
27s 6d. In Olive transactions are of importance, and
the upward movement continues, Gallipoli realizing
411 to 411 105, and other sorts 39/ lOs to 40/ lOs
per tun. Purchases are limited in Seal Oil, and a
desire is evinced to sell pale at 331 to 33/ 10a, and other
sorts 301 to 321 10s. Cod remains dull of sale, and
can be obtained at 361. Several transactions, how-
ever, have taken place in Southern; rates are, however,
❑ot !utter, and rule at from 311 to 331 105 for
low to fine. Sperm is still wanted, and there
is no increase of supply; the rates paid are
851 to 871 for fair to fine. lleadmatter is selling at
921 to 94/. There are few buyers of Cocoa Nut; Cochin
is offered at 32s to 341, Ceylon 31s to 335, and Sydney
28s to 30s. Lard Oil is held for 42s to 455; East India
Ground Nat 31s to 31s 6d; Teel Seed 29s to 293 6d.
