EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD.

The village of Woodham Walter, in Essex, presents a
melancholy scene of devastation, occasioned by torrents
of rain which fell in the afternoon of Wednesday last.
Toe street is situated at the foot of two hills, a brook
running between the cottages of Harris, a blacksmith,
and Davis, a labourer. About half-past four o'clock
remarkably dense clouds were observed meting from
opposite points, and, suddenly forming a junction, ap-
peared to assume a circular motion, which was imme-
diately followed by a discharge of their contents, accom-
panied with a hurricane, vivid flashes of lightning, and
awful peals of thunder. Some hailstones of unusually
large size were also observed. In a few minutes the
viliAgers were terror-stricken, the high-read assuming
the appearance of a rapid river, and the water raising
the brook ten feet in an incredibly abort space of time.
In Davis's cottage, it filled the lower apartments to a
height of nearly six feet, and it was with groat diffi-
culty ho saved the life of his wife, who, in her alarm,
faint2d, and his three children, one of whom was in
bed at the time. An aged woman whom, we are in-
formed, he had from motivas of charity alone sup-
ported, perished in the flood. The front and back walls of
a cottage, fortunately untenanted, between that of Davis
and Campin, were carried completely away by the force
of the torrent, and but for this vent there is little doubt
that the whole range of tenements, the foundations of
which were all undermined, must have yielded to the
weight of water brought to bear upon them. Joseph
Cass, a labourer, with great promptitude, rescued Cam-
pin's sick wife, and a girl named Pouton, attending upon
her, and both narrowly escaped with their lives, Cass
himself encountering great personal risk. All the out-
buildings built over the brook, and belonging to the vari-
ous cottages, were carried away, and several were found
near the Manor Farm. A long fence, six feet high, by
the side of Harris's garden, and nearly thirty feet of a
nine-inch brick wall next the road disappeared, while all
the cottagers' gardens were covered to a considerable
depth with mud brought down from the adjacent lands.
Articles of furniture swept from the dwellings were, we
understand, discovered at a distance of a mile, and very
many are entirely lost. Richard Davis, a wheelwright,
is a considerable sufferer, his workshop, a large thatched
building, having been levelled to the ground, and his
tools carried away.—Essex Herald.

THE SECURITIES FOR ADVANCES BILL.—DEPU-
TATION TO LORD JOHN RussELL—A t'eputation from the
attorneys and solicitors of Ireland engaged in cases pending
in the Encumbered Estates Court, waited by appointment
on the First Lord of the Tuasury, at his private residence,
Chesham.place, on Saturday last, to press on the consider-
tion of Government the importance of reintroducing the
Security for Advances Bill, as brought in by the present
Attorn;y-General. The deputation wss accompanied by a
large number of Irish Members. Having stated their object
and pointed out the evils which would arise from Sir J.
Roadlly's Bill being held over til: next session, they were in-
formed by Lord John Russell that the views of the G .vern-
ment had not been changed in reference to the principle or
the Bill ; considering, however, the opposition which the Bill
had experienced, he thought the most judicious course would
be to bring it forward again next session. If, however, the
opposition were 11,1 persevered in, it would be matter for the
consideration or the Government whether they would not
yield to the wishes expressed, and re-introduce it this ses-
sion. The deputation then retired, and immediately put
themselves hi communication with Mr. Stuart, who led the
opposition to the Lill in the House of Commons, the result of
which was, that yesterday that Hon. Gentleman refused to
withdraw or modify his opposition to the measure,
and the
Bill will not be re-introduced until the next session.

tee was appointed to collect and assist in carrying out the

THAMES.

Edward Jones, carrying on business as a coffee-shop
and eating-house-keeper, at 174, Ratcliffe-highway, was
finally examined, charged with intermarrying with Anne
Pearce, his first wife, Elizabeth Jones, being then and
now alive.

Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Oldershaw for the defence.

The case had some peculiar features in it. He mar-
ried his first wife in 1811, and left her with a numerous
family, the youngest of whom, being 18 years of age,
appeared in the court against him. He subsequently
married an intermediate wife since deceased, with whom
the complainant Pearce was acquainted. In a few
months after that woman's death he induced Pearce to
marry him, and they went on comfortably enough until
the first wife and her daughter came to claim him as
father and husband.

In answer to Mr. YARDLEY, Pearce reluctantly ad-
mitted she had led a loose life previously to her marriage
with the prisoner, and that the coffee and eating-house
which they kept was a place of resort for abandoned
characters.

Mr. YARDLEY said it was evident they were both very
bad and abandoned characters. They were equally in-
famous.

Pearce—Yes, your Worship; be keeps a place far de-
bauchery and plunder.
Mr. YARDLEY—You are both alike; wretched speci-
mens of humanity, and though your infamy cannot alter
his offence, it may in some degree lessen his punishment.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

THE LATE DUKE OP CAMBRIDGE.—It is under-
stood that the will of the late Duke of Cambridge was opened
and read on Wednesday last. The property is stated to be
divided into three portions among biz three children—viz.,
the present duke and his two sisters. In addition to other
property, the sum of 5,000/. goes to the Duchess. The exe-
cutors are the Duke of Sutherland, Sir James Revnett, and
Sir Henry Wheatley. The guardians of the Princess Mary
are the Duchess, the present Duke, and the executors already
named. The Princess Mary is but 16. By the grant of
Parliament she will have 3,000!. per annum, as well as the
one-third of tha personal estate by will.
TIIE SABBATAIIIANS.—" What next ?" has often
been asked, in the course of the present Post-office question.
What will be the next move of the Sabbatarians? Mr.
Campbell, of Monzie, is assisting us to answer the question.
He is attemptin4 to shut up Ben Nevis on the Sunday!
This monarch of the Scottish mountains (which may be seen
depicted in the Newc,stle Exhibition, now open), is to be
protected, if Hr. Campbell can have his own way, from the
tread of man on the first day of the week. And thus would
the Sabbatarian shut us out from the green fields in which
the founder of our religion walked on the Sabbath-day.—

HANTS.

MARWELL HALL, one of the oistinguished and most desirable
seats of the county (possessing considerable historical interest),
in the tine healthy and sporting district between Winchester and
Bishop's Waltham, and only four miles from the Bishopetoke
Station Also a smaller Residence, known as Marwell Lodge.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON will
submit to PUBLIC SALE, at the Mart, on TUESDAY,
August 6, at Twelve, in three o: four lots (unless an acceptable offer
shall be previously made by private treaty, and which will be en-
tertiined for the entire property, or for the house and a portion of
the lands).

The above most desirable ESTATE, comprising a capital and
handsome mansion, erected on the site of the old hall of " Mere-
wello" (of which some curious relics have been preserved In the new
house), with the demesne land and valuable farms. It is in the ow
English or Tudor style, and contains lofty rooms and halls of noble
dimensions. It presents a handsome elevation, and, the east front
opening to an expansive lawn and grass terrace, extending to
some wooded grounds of a primitive wild character, and affording
delightful seclusion. It was here (when the property of her family)
that Henry VIII. wedded Jane Seymour; and it was also vi-
site,' by Charles 11. more than once. The house is in
perfect repair, and the interior is admirably arranged. The
domestic offices are very complete, and there are walled gardens
and orchards, and ample stabling and other outbuildings for a good
establishment; but, compared with the influential character and
superior accommodation of the mansion, it is a place of small,
expense. The whole property embraces about 830 acres, all in
high order, with suitable farmhouses and homesteads, and an
extensive right over the adjoining downs ; but the tenure being
chiefly leasehold under Corpus Christi College, or copyhold, the im-
mediate purchase money, comoared with the extent. will be an easy
investment. It is in the picturesque parish of Owlesbury, within
six roiled of Winchester, within easy reach of three packs of hounds,
and is well stocked with game.
Particulars with plai.s may be obtained oh application to Messrs.
Clowes, Wedlake, and Selwyn, solicitors, 10, King's Bench-walk, i

Rights, within 10 Allies of Inverness (the capital of the Highlands),
commanding a grand View of the Moray Firth, and of portions of
the Counties of Inverness, Nairn, Moray, and Banff, near Fort
George, and the towns of Fortrose and Dingwall, with Steam
Communication to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, &c., and now only 2 i
hours' journey by land from London.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
11 commissioned by the proprietor, Sir James John P.andol
Mackenzie, Bart., to announce that the above very fine and influen-
tial TERRITORIAL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, embracing upwards
of 7,000 acres (or eleven square miles) of highly-cultivated or itn-
proveable Land, interspersed with thriving Woods and Plantations,
will (unless previously disposed of by Private Treaty) be SUBMIT-
TED to PUBLIC COMPETITION in the Autumn.
The mansion, which is complete'y furnished, is of modern erec-
tion, and is suited in all respects the the immediate occupation of a
large and first-rate establishment, with capital offices, stabling,
walled gardens, highly dressed and varied rlcasure grounds, hot-
houses, and conservatories, on a commanding but delightfully shel-
tered elevation, with splendid marina and inland scenery. and em-
bracing the site of the Old Menor House. with a fine and bold extent
of shore and beach, with south end cast aspects. The domain sur-
rounds the residence, and is richly varied with 'hill and dale,
consisting of park-like piddocks, thriving plantations well-stocked
with game, and numerous farms, mills, &c., let on improv-
ing leases, at rents which are most punctually paid half.
yearly, and are so moderate as to hold out the certainty of a
considerable increase of income on the termination of the
present leases, as we 1 as many undeveloped sources of
more extensive and permanent improvements. They embrace
a variety of soil, with valuable stone ; and having the great advan-
tage of a fine opening to the sea, with a good anchorage for a yacht,
and tine bathing ground, these estates possess every facility for car-
rying out the most profitable as well as pleasurable objects for en-
hancing their value ; and the command of navigation and the gra-
dual approach of railway communication render them a very desir-
able and most safe investment. The parish churches of Avoch,
Itosemarkie, and Knockbain, as well as the Episcopal chapel of
Fortrose, are all in the close vicinity. The advowson or patronage
of the parish of Avoch will he disposed of with these estates.
Particulars and plans,
when completed, may be had of William
Mackenzie, Esq., W. 8., 29, Charlotte-square, Edinburgh ; of
Messrs. Cameron and Martin, 10, New Palace-yard, Westminster ;

further information, and for the purchase of the estate by private
treaty.

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY expressed his doubts as to
the propriety of having a Commissioner sitting in that
House, and wished to have some explanation from the
Noble Lord at the head of the Government on that
point, and also as to the freedom of action in the Estates
Committee, and their power to appoint officers.
Sir G. GREY said with respect to the first question,
the Archbishop was to have power to nominate one
Commissioner, who might sit in Parliament. The
other Commissioner would not have a seat in Parlia-
ment (as understood), and the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, one of the Commissioners, would of courso be in
Parliament. With ref.'rence to the appointment of offi-
cers, it was not intended to alter the powers in that
respect which the previous Commission exercised ; and
with regard to general rules, the Commissioners would
have the power of of framing them, but in particular in-
stances they would not have the power to interfere.
Mr. GOULBURN said, as he could not obtain an
opportunity of stating' his objections to the amendments
which had been introduced, he must leave them to be
dealt with by the House of Lords.
Mr. J. A. SMITH put a question relative to the ope-

STOPPAGE OF ►i'HE POST.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—l live about six miles from Brentwood, and re-
ceive my letters in due course at nine AM. There is a
second delivery at Brentwood, but not in the country.
Yesterday, expecting letters through London, I sent to
the post et Brentwood in the afternoon, and received a
letter from my agent in London, informing me that in
consequence of the non-receipt of a notice he had
omitted to pay a
premium on a policy of insurance,
that I must appear at the effice on or before the 23d and
, or
send a medical certificate before that day. My avoca-
tions usually take me from home before post on Mon-
day, and but for the accident of my sending to the post
I should not have received the letter till Wednesday
next, when my policy would have Leen forfeited.
My country receiving-house being closed, I am obliged
to send a messenger with this letter to catch the day
mail of to-morrow.
Can there be a better instance of the mischief and
absurdity of tho now postal obstruction?
M.
I remain your obedient servant,

July 21.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DIORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir,—Allow me to call your attention to the following
facts illustrative of the inconvenience (to use the mildest
term) arising out of the new postal arrangements.
My time as a professional man is fully occupied, and
more especially at this time of the year, owing to the
great influx of visitors to our salubrious town. I have
a wife and an only child, the latter of whom is on a visit
at my brother-in-law's, at Brompton.
On Friday evening last I received a letter, informing
mo of the sudden and serious illness of my little
possibility of hearing
boy—
soliciting my immediate attendance. From the reasons
above stated, I could not leave; my wife, therefore, was

CREMORNE GARDENS.

Lieutenant Gale made another aerial trip from
these gardens last night. The balloon was inflated
at the London Gas-works, and proceeded along the
Thames, on board the Citizen (A) steamer, being
guided over Vauxhall and Battersea-bridges by
means of ropes. On approaching the entrance to the
gardens, the scene was indeed a novel one, represent-
ing as it did the monster structure walking, as it
were, along the road, followed by thousands of spec-
tators. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr.
Burney, the superintendent of the Citizen Steam-
boat Company, and Captain Cadwell, for the admira-
ble arrangements made for the safety and conveni-
ence of the visitors on board. The intrepid aeronaut
ascended about ten o'clock—the balloon taking a
north-westerly direction, and discharging showers of
chequered fireworks.
