own profit and source of ........ .. .. : 20,000

£160,000
The purchase money being spread over a period of
years (I have assumed 20 for the sake of illustration)
would require to bear interest, say six per cent., to
cover expenses of management ; and the equivalent in-
stalments therefore would be, for each of the twenty
yeas, about 71. for each iio/. section, 31. for each 361.
section, and 17s. 6d. for each 101. section, These pay-
ments would replace the company's outlay with interest,
in additicn to the houses above provided ror, from the
enhanced value of the land. This enhancement of value
would accrue from the very influx of population alone,
leaving no practical doubt as to the security as well as
national and social benefit of the operation.
The equity of this mode of colonisation I need not
dwell upon, nor en the yast field it would develope, and
the stimulus it would afford to Life Assurance, as it in
obvious that every insurable settler would be encouraged
to insure his life in the value of the land he would thus
hold on mortgage, that in the event of his premature de-
cease he might be enabled to leave to his children an un-
encumbered patrimonial inheritance.--I am, &C.,

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST CAPTAIN PLATT.—
BRIGHTON, Thursday.—At the borough .sessions held
to-day, Captain Platt, a nephew of Baron Platt, was
charged with assaulting Mr. John Lawrence, a surgeon
residing in this town. The facts of the case are, that on
the 31st of July last, the defendant came down to
Brighton, and cal!ed on Mr. Lawrence, and requested
some exolanation and satisfaction, in reference to some-
thing which he alleged the latter had circulated, affect-
ing the character of his wife (a lady, formerly of some
note as an actress—Miss Louisa Howard). In the
course of a warm altercation, Mr. Lawrence stated that
he believed the lady in question was not the most im-
maculate person in the world ; and as he (Mr. Lawrence)
who had gone out of his house, followed by defendant,
was in the act of getting into his carriage, the defendant
struck him very violently with a whip across the shoul-
ders and hand. An arrangement was entered into
between the parties. Captain Platt gave a written
apology to Mr. Lawrence, and also the cum of 1001. to
I the Sussex County Hospital.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The show of beasts in to-day's market was very moderate,
and most breeds came to hand in poor condition. On the
whole, the beef trade ruled steady, at pricas fully equal to
those realised on Monday. Although the supply of sheep
was limited, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at
unaltered quotations. Prime calves were in fair request,
at fully late rates; but inferior qualities wore dull. In
the value of pigs no change took place.
Mulch cows were very dull, at from 141. to 191. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

cruited her losses at the expense of her

di Ills conduct, to occasion lukewarmness, if not
division, between her leading opponents.
Feeling this, we were by no means mealy-
mouthed in giving expression to our thoughts,
and speaking as became an English journal devoted
to the honour and interests of Great Britain ;
and it is but an act of simple justice to say that
the Morning Advertiser pursued a steady and
straightforward course in the same direction. We
have seen to cause for tergiversation ; and we truly
rejoice at finding so powerful a coadjutor as the
Tinle4 at length awakened to Muscovite perfidy,
and resolved to nail the English standard to the
mast—to be neither bullied nor cajoled into play

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Early on Wednesday afternoon an accident happened on
the London and North- Western Railway, two miles on the
Blisworth side of the Wolverton-station, which caused an
entire stoppage of the through trains nearly throughout the
night. It appears that one of Fairbairn's large goods en-
gines was proceeding with two other engines of a similar
size and character to Wolverton Locomotive Depot, in
order to undergo repair. From some failing iu the coupling
chain, the front engine
_became detached from the engine
behind, and went on some distance before the driver could
bring it up. He then reversed his engine and proceeded
carefully back in order to take up the " dead" engines.
The line, however, where the mishap occurred, being on an
incline, the engines, impelled by the momentum previously
imparted to them, proceeded along at a reduced rate, and
came in contact with the " live" engine, which was coming
back to their aid. The three were immediately thrown
across the road, the " dead" engines over the up line, and
the "live" one on the down rails, causing a formidable
blockage to the passing of all through trains. To add to
the mischief the road was torn up, and the two hind en-
gines worked themselves deep into the bank, so rendering
the task of extricating them more difficult. Information
of the accident was instantly communicated to the Wolver-
ton and Roade stations, and a passenger train, which was
due, was happily stopped. Gangs of labourers were
promptly despatched to the spot, but owing to the ponder-
one size of the locomotives, and the way they had ploughed
up and worked themselves into the road and bank, coupled
with the very foggy state of the atmosphere, it was not
until an early hour yesterday that one of the lines could
be got clear, and which was made available for the passage
of up and down trains. The labourers continued their ex-
ertions in endeavouring to raise the two "dead engines,"
and so clear the other line of rails, but at eleven o'clock
yesterday that had not been accomplished. The non-ar-
rival of the usual trains last evening created considerable
uneasiness at the Euston-square terminus. The firs

through train that arrived was the mail yesterday morning
at six o'clock. The up and down traffic is now proceeding
as usual. The drivel. and stoker of the " live engine,"
who stunk to their post, are reported to be injured, but not
seriously so. They have been removed to their houses at
Wolverton.

MURDER IN SHREWSBURY.

SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY.
A murder, arising from the use of a knife, was com-
mitted here last night by a young man named John
Hollis, who cohabited with a woman named Annie
Usher, better known as "Annie Laurie." Hollis has
been in the habit of ill-using Annie, and on more than
one occasion has been brought before the magistrates
and punished.

Last
night, about half-past ten o'clock, he went into
the Market-square,..where he saw Usher dancing with a
young man named Clewett. He approached her and
abused her for her conduct. He had a knife in his
hand, and attempted to strike her, but he was pre-
vented. The girl then struck Hollis three times, and
a man who, was near felled him to the ground. The
girl then ran away across the Market•square, near the
Plough Inn, where she met a man named Benjamin
Bromley, with whom she stopped to converse. Pre-
sently one or two others joined them, and in the course
of a few minutes Hollis joined them, and attempted
to strike the girl, but failing to do so he kicked her,
whereupon she struck him and ran away. Pritchard,
one of the party, now went up to Hollis, and, hold-
ing up his fist, challenged him to fight •
'but Bromley
stepped forward and cried out, "No ; I 'have only one
arm like him, and I will fight him." He thereupon
shook his fist in Hollis's face. The latter observing
that two against one was not fair, struck Bromley a
blow in the chest. Bromley reeled and fell into the
gutter, while Hollis immediately ran off.
After Hollis bad given the blow it was noticed that
he had a knife in his hand. Bromley, who had ut-
tered no word of exclamation of any sort, was picked
up, and died immediately. He was taken to the in-
firmary, when it was discovered he had received a
deep wound, about three-quarters of an inch in length,
near the region of the heart.
Information was at once conveyed to the police, who
in about half an hour succeeded in capturing Hollis.
The prisoner Hollis was brought up to-day before
the magistrates. When charged with the murder of
the deceased man, Bromley, he made no reply, nor
was any one present to defend him. He maintained
a calm composure during the examination of the wit-
nesses, but he nevertheless seemed to feel acutely the
position in which he was placed. He was remanded
until next Tuesday, in order that the evidence against
him may be completed.
An inquest will be held on the deceased, Benjamin
Bromley, to-morrow. He was about 30 years of age,
and obtained a livelihood by fishing and working as
a labourer. •

THE REASON WHY ?

(From, the Morning Advertiser.)
What we have been seeking to impress on the British
public for some time past, relative to an alliance being
in the course of formation between this country and
Austria, is now at last confirmed by the Paris correspon-
dent of the Times. Such an alliance, in the very nature
of things, presupposed the breaking up of the alliance
between England and France. No one, indeed, who has
watched for some months past the conduct of the two
Governments towards each other, could fail to perceive
that an estrangement had taken place between them,
and that if a friendship still appeared to exist, it was in
appearance only. For several months past there has
been no cordiality between the French and English Go-
vernments, and it was with difficulty that even the sem-
blance of friendship could be kept up between them., It
would now seem as if even the forms of friendship could
no longer be kept up. France has thrown herself into
the more congenial arms of Russia, while we have taken
into our embraces perfidious and tyrannical Austria.
For this contingency none of the readers of this journal
can have been. unprepared. We have earnestly and
repeatedly warned them of its approach. We have not
only spoken of it as a probability, but as of a moral
certainty. We have Paid that Lnuis Napoleon was, in
his heart, the friend of the Czar, and that when he
thought the convenient moment bad arrived, he would
openly avow his preference. That moment has come, or
will come, before metny weeks have arrived.
ha ve
Nothing could be more plain, from the passage we
lar drqauoted than the fact, that France has been a regu-
g-chain on our movements with respect to Naples.
Count Walewski, to whom the Emperor has, for some
Months

THE DENISON CONTROVERSY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN.

SIB,--As in The Sun, (Oct. 27), in reference to Arch-
deacon Denison, you say " He has been admitted into
our churches on the honourable understanding that he
would not attempt to evade the articles or to eiplain
them away, but that he would teach and preach in the
spirit of them," anew me to add that every beneficed
clergyman in this land holds his position also upon the
honourable understanding that he gives his" unfeigned
assent and consent to all and everything contained and
prescribed in and by the book intiteled the " Book of
Common Prayer, and Administration of the Sacraments,"
&c. There is therefore a direct violation of induction
requirements in forbidding an appeal to the Catechism
acd Services of the Church, as well as to the Homilies.
I have read several leaders on this controversy, and its
r,sult, and have been struck with the uniform omission
of all mention of this prescribed declaration of " as-
sent and consent" to the Prayer Book. Is it because it
would disclose what really is the fact, that the doc-
trines of the Church of England are to be sought in
the Formularies as well As in the Articles ? What
would the Evangelicals have said if they had been
told, before Ditcher v. Denison was heard of that they
might not appeal to the Bible in support of their
views of what may be named in the Articles ? Where
now is the " open Bible" so much spoken of ? How
would the Low Church party agree amongst them-
selves if tried in re Predestination and Article 17 ? I
do not tLink this principle of Articles and nothing
but the Articles will wrrk well.—Your obedient servant,
AUDI ALTERA.M PARTEM.

DEPARTURE OF THE MERRIMAC.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 30.
The United States' steam frigate Merrimac sailed to-
day for Brest, proceeding thence to Lisbon, Cadiz, and
the West Indies. On the eve of the departure of this
noble ship of war Captain Prendergast and those of the
officers who were not present at the late banquet given
by Mr. Andrews, the Mayor, were entertained at dinner
by his worship at his country seat, near Winchester.
Thoy were conveyed thither in two carriages and pairs,
and during the afternoon visited the cathedral, the col-
lege, the hospital of St. Cross, and other objects of inte-
rest. The Mayor also took his visitors to Hursley, distant
from Winchester about four miles, and the antiquities
connected with the village greatly delighted and inte-
rested the American gentlemen. On their return to
Winchester they were most generously entertained by
his worship, and during the evening Captain Prendergast(
acknowledged in most grateful language the kindness-he
had received at all hands during his short sojourn in
England, and regretted that his anxiety to visit the
lions of the island should have been the means of de-
priving him of his share in the generosity and attention
which had been so specially paid by the people of South-
ampton to the gentlemen connected with his ship, and
more particularly by his worship the mayor. The
officers of the Merrimac leave behind them the best
recollections of their kind and attentive courtesy to
all classes of the inhabitants, by whom they have been
most hospitably received. Yesterday afternoon thd
South-Western Company's steamer Despatch conveyed
a party of gentlemen, consisting of dock directors, and
others officially connected with the port, to view the
Merrimac previous to her departure. They were most
politely received, and every attention was shown them
by the officers in charge of the vessel, who exhibited and
explained the peculiarities in the construction of this fine
ship, compared with r hers of less recent date. Many
regrets were express._ 1 that the time had arrived for
them to quit Southampton Waters, and their hope was
that they might again shortly visit this coast so as to
enable them to testify their appreciation of the many
attentions and hospitalities they had received from all
persons.

commercial advises from Calcutta and Bombay, a bettor
feeling was prevalent among business men. The favour-

and not to domestics. Turkey red goods for the spring
trade are also said to be in demand. Prices are very
firm for such kinds of goods as are in demansl.

NOTTINGHAM, OCT. 30.
The lace tra,le is very quiet. For plain goods there is
yet considerable inquiry, but many branches of our trade
are dull. There is a fair business transacting in cotton
goods. Our home demand for all description of laces is
an average one. American orders also have been tole
rably good.
In hosiery there is more activity, many large orders
baying been completed for the American market. The
home trade is also healthy, and operatives are well em-
ployed at good wages. Silk is not so ddficult to IN, ;
yarns are firm,

Naval and Military Intelligence.

H.M.S. Hannibal, 91, screw two-decker, Capt. C. J.
D. Hay, at Spithead, is ordered to complete her arma-
ment (she left some of her guns at Malta), and send her
paybooks to Somerset-house. She will most probably
be "paid down" and sent on further service.

The hired sailing transports Typhoon, Capt. Morris,
with commissariat stores ; Lady Valiant, Capt. Mont-
gomery, with anchors, chains, and machinery ; and
Cceur de Lion, Capt. Clendon, with sundry stores, all
from Constantinople, arrived at Spithead yesterday
morning.
Among the Crimean troops who were yesterday dis-
charged at St. Mary's barracks, Chatham, on account
of wounds or injuries received during the Russian
war, was Colour-Serjeant Timothy Murphy, of the Ist
battalion of the Rifle Brigade. He served in the
Caffre wars of 1846 and 1847, and 1852 and 1853, for
which he received a medal. He was also present at
the action against the insurgent Beers, at Boem-Plaats,
on the 29th Aug., 1849, where his conduct was brought
under the notice of the Commander-in-Chief. He was
present at the action against the Basouta chief, Mo-
shesb, at Berea, on the 20th Dec., 1852. On the
breaking out of the Russian war he was sent with the
Rifle Brigade to the Crimea, where he served during
the whole of the campaign, having been presentat the bat-
tles of Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, and also at the
final assault on Sebastopol, for which he is decorated with
the Crimean medal with four clasps. He has also been
granted a silver medal for distinguished conduct in the
field, and more especially for his remarkable gallantry
at the battle of Inkerman. On his extraordinary bravery
being brought under the notice of the Emperor of the
French, his Majesty immediately nominated him a
Knight of the Legion of Honour, in addition to which
he received the sum of 51. from the Emperor and Lord
Raglan for distinguished gallantry in the field. His case
has also been represented to her Majesty, who has ap-
pointed him to a situation at the Tower. In addition to
his pension, he has been presented with a gratuity of
151., and it is understood that he will also receive an
annuity as one of the Knights of the Legion of Honour.
The troops belonging to the Corps of Royal Engineers
and the East India Company's Sappers and Miners at
Chatham are undergoing a course of instruction in the
use of the Lancaster rifle under Lieutenant G. R.
Lempriere.

Yesterday the largest draught, of troops ever dis-
charged at Chatham left St. Mary's Barracks, an order
having arrived for the immediate discharge from the ser-
vice of those non-commissioned officers and men who
had been recommended by the board of commissioners
from Chelsea Hospital; which recently assembled at
Chatham. The number who ware yesterday discharged
amounted to 237 non-commissioned officers and men.

The youth Pratt, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to
an indictment, charging him with embezzling. 981. 10s.,
the property of his employers, the directors of the Bank
of Australia, was placed at the ,bar to receive sentence.
It will be recollected that the prisoner had the money
intrusted to Nina to procure stamps from Somerset-house,
and that in the evening he was induced to enter a brothel
in the City-road with the money in his possession, and
was then robbed.

His Lordship said that the prosecutors had pressed
much in favour of the prisoner, and he was willing to
believe that public justice would be satisfied, although
lie had taken a considerable sum of money, the property
of his employers, by the sentence he would pass on him.
The company believed he had formed no preconcerted
intention of taking the money, but that he yielded to
circumstances at the time. He sentenced him to nine
months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

UNION SCREW COLLIER STEAM

COMPANY.

At a meeting of this company, held yesterday, a
dividend of 1/. per share was declared, and the re-
port and accounts were unanimously adopted. It
was stated that large profits had been realised during
the war, and that the vessels will in future be em-
ployed in the cargo trade with the Brazilian ports.
Authority was given to the directors to
re-organise the company under the title of
the Union Steam Company) with the view of
availing themselves of limited liability. Annexed
is an abstract of the report :

"The profit and loss account shows a profit on the
earnings of the vessels for the year commencing the Ist
of September, 1855, and ending the 31st of August,
1856, of 15,6081., atter making due provision for wear,
tear, depreciation, and contingencies, out of whish
12,0001. has already been appropriated to the dividend
of 41. per share, paid in April last, leaving a balance of
2,608/. From this balance the directors recommend
that a dividend of 11. per share be declared, making a
dividend of , 51. per share, or 28 per cent. for the past
year, and leaving a balance of 6081. to be carried forward
to the credit of next year's account. The cessation of
the war, and the conseluent discharge of the vessels
from the transport service, has caushl the directors tb
turn their attention to the best means of employing them
in some more profitable manlier than in the 'coal trade.
After due inquiry they have been led to conclude that a
line of auxiliary screw vessels, chiefly adapted as these
vessels are to cargo conveyance, between Southampton
and the Brazilian ports, would yield a fair remunera-
tion' and they have, therefore, determined to make 'a
trial of the lino, the communication to be monthly. The
Norman proceeded on the first monthly trip on the 23d
of September, and the Union on the second trip on the
23d of October. The whole of the vessels coninue to
be insured againeirall risks." - ).
