THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND

SIR R. PEEL.

The Globe of last evening has discovered that some
difference exists between the Premier and the Bishop
of London, on the subject of the division of St.
George's, Hanover-square, into distinct and separate
parishes, and has seized the opportunity for reflecting
on the character of the Bishop of the diocese. The
Globe alleges that the Right Rev. Prelate is anxious
to appoint his son-in-law, the Rev. Henry Brown, to
the rectory of St. George's, vacant by the death of the
Very Rev. Dr. Hodgson, the Dean of Carlisle, and
that the Bishop was indignant that Sir Robert Peel
insisted on the creation of some smaller parishes,
whereby the ecclesiastical offices of the parish might
be more efficiently administered. To this, the ex-
Ministerial paper alleges the Bishop objected, as he
was anxious that his son•in-law should not be de-
prived of any of the emoluments. The statement thus
put forth is a gross falsehood. So far from any ob-
jection on the part of the Bishop existing to the
formation of smaller parishes, he was the first
to suggest the improvement; and declared long since
that if the rectory should become vacant during the
time of his episcopacy he would carry out the ar-
rangement. For this purpose his Lordship proposed
the erection of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge,
and recommended to the Metropolitan Fund Commit-
tee the propriety of making a grant for that object.
A liberal vote of money was made, and the Bishop
himself contributed to the fund from his own private
purse. But the best proof of the Globe's menda-
city will be seen from the fact, that within the last
few days a new parish has been created, embracing
Pimlico, Knightsbridge, and all the outwards of St.
George's. Of this parish the Rev. J. Fuller, and the
Rev. IV. J. E. Bennett will be the joint rectors. The
Bishop has expressed his anxious desire to erect an-
other parish, and it will doubtless be effected before
any appointment to the rectory is made. That Mr.
Brown will have the appointment is tolerably certain,
and that will be the case whatever may be the opi-
nions either of the Globe or Sir Robert Peel.—Post.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—This morning between nine
and ten o'clock, Win. Parry, one of the workmen em-
ployed at the new Houses of Parliament, was brought
into Westminster Hospital in a dreadfully injured state,
from having, while at his employment, fallen from off a
scaffold about thirty feet from the ground. The unfor-
tunate man was found to have sustained a fracture of the
right arm and dislocation of several of his ribs. He is
considered to be in a very precarious state.
A PRACTICAL JOKE.—A friend told us a few
evenings age, and, though it was told us in confidence,
we cannot resist the temptation of laying it before our
readers, let the consequence be what it may :—" In the
western part of this city live and flourish two jolly
young fellows, who follow sign-painting for a livelihood,
and who are sometimes in the habit of cutting up what
are termed high shines.' It so occurred, a few days
ago, that one of the partners had some out-door busi-
ness to attend to, and left the shop in charge of his
partner and a little boy, who was employed to grind
paints. During his absence, the partner remaining went
to work and painted the boy's neck so as to represent a
large gash, and a cut over the eye. He then took red
paint, bespattered it over the floor, and clotted the boy's
hair, and made him lie down in a corner. He then
painted a great gash in his own cheek, bared his bosom,
disordered his dress, dipped a long-bladed knife in the
red paint-pot, and patiently awaited the coming of his
partner. Directly he heard him at the door the per-
formance commenced. The partner stuck his head into
the room door; one glance was sufficient; the boy pros-
trated on the floor, with his throat cut, groaning and
crying Murder ;' chairs, tables, benches, jugs, and
paint-pots, were strewn around the floor in dire confu-
sion, while the murderous partner, with the bloody-
looking knife in his uplifted hand, was running through
the room, uttering wild and incoherent expressions. It
was evident to the partner at the door that his partner
had killed the boy. The thought was horrid; swift as
lightning he flew to his father and informed him of the
circumstance. A number of friends were mustered, who
repaired forthwith to the scene of action. The crowd
augmented as it neared the shop, and in walked the
whole posse; but what was their astonishment to find

the boy without a mark of any kind, the room in per-
feet order, no mark of blood perceptible, and the partner
engaged in lettering a sign, and utter ignorance of any
transaction of the kind avowed both by him and the
boy, to the other partner's great mortification, more
especially as the persons he brought there hinted to one
another that during his absence he might have indulged
too freely in fire-water.—St. John's paper.
COLLECTION OF CHARTS AT LLOYD'S.—A complete
set of marine charts, published by the marine department
of France, have, by the command of his Majesty Louis
Philippe, been forwarded to Lloyd's, and which, with
those presented to Lloyd's by his Majesty the King of
Prussia, the East India House, &c., will be arrangud, in
a room provided for the purpose at the new Royal Ex-
change, open to the inspection of all connected yr inte-
rested in the navigation of the seas, and will form the
most complete collection in the world.

NOVEL IMPORTATION.—The packet-ship England,
which arrived at Liverpool, on Saturday, from New
York, brought a quantity of American candles, which
will be offered for sale by public auction.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when George Russell Clerk, Esq.,

THE LATE ACCIDENT AT DERBY.—On Sunday
last the remains of five of the sufferers who met a me-
lancholy death by the late accident in Derby, were in-
terred at St. Peter's Church, in this town ; George Ban-
croft, one of the sufferers, being interred the day previous.
Although it poured down with rain there was a large
assemblage of spectators to witness the sad ceremony ;
indeed, St. Peter's-street and London-road were filled
with persons, and the police had great difficulty in
keeping them at a proper distance from the funeral pro-
cession. So great was the interest excited, that the
body of the church was crowded during the whole of
the afternoon service, the funeral taking place imme-
diately afterwards. The bodies of Thomas Walker and
George Walker (brothers) were attended to the grave
by upwards of 200 members of the Ancient Order of
Foresters ; the former person being a highly respected
member of Court Loxley, No. 1,700. The funeral ser-
vice was read in a very impressive manner by the Rev.
W. Fisher. The two Walkers were interred in one
grave ; Charles Bagguley and Joseph Wardle in an-
other ; and Brown and Bancroft in separate graves. It
having been announced that the Rev. W. Fisher would
preach to the friends and relatives of the deceased in
the evening, there was a very large congregation at St.
Peter's Church. The service was very appropriate to the
sad occasion. The Rev. Gentleman took for his text
the first five verses of the 13th chapter of St. Luke. It
was an excellent discourse, and was listened to with very
great attention.--Perby Mercury.
On Saturday a trial survey was commencer) for the
intended railway between Limerick and Ennis, to run
convenient to Six-Mile bridge, Ralahine,Kilkishen, New-
market, D.loyrisk, Quin, and Clare.—Cork Examiner.
Such was the devastation of the floods at Kilkenny,
by high tide and continued rains, as to sweep the streets
like a deluge, rising several feet in the houses, and car-
rying away furniture, beside corn, flax, and potatoes in
the country. The city was a complete river for some
hours, and the inllulteS of small houses only escaped by
efimuing to the roofs. There has been a lamentable loss
of property.— Cork Examiner,

1.6.177 AND POLICE.
In the Common Pleas an action was brought by Misg
Such, the daughter of a builder residing in Foundling;
terrace, Gray's Inn-road, against the defendant, Samuel
Cobham, jun., carrying on business as an oilman, in Bow"
lane, Cheapside, for breach of promise of marriage. Th,g
defendant admitted that he had made the promise and
broken it, but put a plea upon the record to the effect
that after he made the promise the plaintiff became a dis-
reputable woman. She had borne a child to the defen-
dant. The jury, after a short consultation, returned for
the plaintiff, Damages 1001.
Edward Taylor, cab-driver, was fined at the Mansion-
house 10s. and 3s. costs, for " crawling " in Fleet-street
and the nesghbourhood. He refused to pay the fine,
and preferred seven days' imprisonment ; but on the
Lord Mayor telling him that it could not be less than *
month, the 13s. were paid.
At Clerkenwell James Kent was charged with WI
assaulted police constable Newman, C 2, and Harris, 5"
E. It appeared that on Tuesday morning, at about one
o'clock, the prisoner and others sallied forth from a bow
shop in High-street, St. Giles's, made use of foul la*"
guage, and on the interference of the police, they were
resisted and dreadfully maltreated. Both officers were
left on the ground insensible, but other officers secured
the prisoner. Newman and Harris were so much injure*
that they required medical aid, and were excused fr°°l;
duty. Mr. Combe sentenced him to one month's impri-
sonment somnent for the assault on Newman, and Harris mig:;
have a warrant for the assault upon him, to be heard
the expiration of the month.
Baron Moritz Vander Pforte appeared again before
Mr. Hardwick at Marlborough-street, to clear himself
from the charge of having obtained from Mons. Denew
lain 21. by means of a fraudulent cheque. Two German
witnesses stated that the Baron belonged to one et the
first families in Saxony, and that his character for 11°.
nesty had never been impeached. The Baron said he
could easily prove at this moment he was in possessioo
of three estates ; two in Saxony and one in Prussig'
The Prussian estate he had sold, but he had not re'
ceived the whole of the proceeds yet. Mr. Hardwick Co!:
sidered that as far as the question of respectability IT
concerned, the Baron had satisfactorily established 1'
claim to be considered the person whom he represent
himself to be, and dismissed the charge.

LATER FROM THE UNITED

STATES.

LIVE RP OOL , WEDNESDAY.
Tha New York packet-ship Rochester, Captain
Britton, arrived here to-day, after a rapid passage of
eighteen days. She brings papers from that city to
the 26th ult., being nine days later than previously
conveyed by the packet-ship England. The Ro-
chester sailed from the Bay of New York on the
26th, and at noon of that day passed the steam-ship
Great Western, i thirty miles E.S.E. of Sandyhook.
This was the 14th day out of this celebrated steamer.
She sailed from Liverpool on the 12th, and would
?each New York on the 26th—the usual period of
her completing her run from Liverpool to New
York. She took out on the voyage 140 passengers.
The steam-ship Acadia arrived out at Boston on
the 20th. She took out the mails on October 4th
for Canada and the United States, and a large number
of passengers.
The news by this arrival is not of great interest.
The most important is that of a sad and destructive
hurricane on Lake Erie, which had passed over the
city of Buffalo with great violence.
The Courier and Enquirer thus describes this de-
structive visitation :

BUFFALO, OCT. 19, 1844.
TERRIBLE AND DESTRUCTIVE GALE AT BUFFALO.—
Arter several days of rainy disagreeable weather, the
Rind at north-east, it commenced blowing pretty fresh
last night about eleven o'clock. At half-past twelve it
suddenly, veered round to the south-west, and blew a
perfect hurricane, crowding the water of the lake, which,
had been kept above by the previous wind, almost in-
stantaneously upon the city. Those who saw it, repro-
!lent it as a perfect avalanche of water ; and such was
;Li force as to tear up the massive pier on which the
light-house stands, and which has hitherto withstood all
the onsets of wind and water.
lhe flood on the flats is more destructive than any we
have ever had—the water having risen in one hour over
ten feet, sweeping off houses, barns, store-houses, tan-
neries, the track of the Utica and Buffalo Railroad for a
Rile, and drowning men, women, children, horses, cows,
°leo, and hogs.
The loss of human life is already ascertained to exceed
fifty
and as the gale has not subsided, it is feared there
must be a great addition to the list. The steamers St.
Fulton, and Julia Palmer, left here at seven last
e:;,,ening, and great uneasiness has been felt for their
,„"`"ekr- The St. Louis has gone down the river this
""°rning with a broken shaft and otherwise damaged ;
she reports the loss of four passengers during the night.
LThe Fulton is reported ashore some twelve miles up the
a passengers and crew safe—the Julia Palmer is at
chor in the bay opposite the city; and as the gale
;weals to increase in fury, accompanied with hail and
''ns3w, it is feared she may-not weather it. She has up-
wards of four hundred souls on board. Thirteen horses
Were thrown overboard from her this forenoon, of which
twelve reached the shore alive.
The steamer Chautauque is ashore at Sandy Town, one
Mile from the city ; the Government steamer Albert is
also ashore at the foot of Court-street; no lives lost from
either of these,
The number of houses blown down and unroofed will

pekew e dread, and yet are anxious to hear from up the
; for if the wind came as suddenly there as here,
destruction must be awful.
st„W: find in the Buffalo papers additional circum-
-"ces attending this dreadful catastrophe—the most
terrible and destructive that has occurred for many
Years. So far from being exaggerated, we have reason
to fear that the account of our correspondent falls short
of the deplorable reality. The Buffalo Commercial, of
Saturdayevening, contains a statement of the extent
of the disaster so far as it could be ascertained. The
steam-boat Chautauque was ashore ; the Albert was
beached; the G.W. Dole was thrown some 50 feet out of
the water ; the St. Louis broke a shaft when near Dun-
kirk, but made port. Three men and a boy, deck passengers,r
were washed overboard and drowned. A great number
m
of canal boats were driven ashore with several vessels.
Scores of buildings were destroyed, among whichv were
Roop's white lead factory, Kingman's three
stores, the unfinished brick depot of the Niagara brick
Falls,
H. R. Co., forty or fifty frame cottages on both sides
the canal from Mechanic-street, Wellman's cooperage,
and Van Styke and Co.'s boatyard, Graves and Co.'s
rope walk, W. Mead's new brick dwelling, with some
thirty small dwellings, occupied by persons employed,
Wilkeson's foundry, a hat factory near the canal, two
frame buildings in Jackson-street, G uthrie and Benson's
Planing establishment, and soap factory, the new brick
store of F. C. Hatch, the new brick buildings of the
• 'Utica and Buffalo R. R. Co., and the warehouse of
Cl• Lee ; these are all entirely destroyed, together with
a great number of other buildings which were so utterly
and entirely swept away, that they could not be identi-
fied or recognised.
Of the awful destruction of life which has resulted
from this terrible catastrophe, the Commercial gives the
following account :
But the most deplorable effect of the gale is the de-
struction of human life. How many lives have been
destroyed, it is impossible, as yet, to ascertain. Twenty- '
file bodies of men, women, and children, have been re-
covered and taken to the Courthouse for identification
by relations and friends. The bodies of five children in
one waggon have just passed our office.
Sixteen persons, men, women, and children, are missing
ittu2l Wilkeson's foundry. Two servant girls employed
f l',l,afrs Hotel, slept in the basement. The side walk
in and filled the room with water before they could
be e.
Both were drowned. Their names were Helen
ka'lrish, and Catherine Redding. The parents of
latter live in Collins. Thus far the number of dead
ase‘estained is as follows :
two men, ten women, and thirteen children—thirty-

HER MAJESTY AT BURLEIGH.

BURLEIGH, Nov. 13.—0 n her Majesty's arrival
last night at Burleigh she was received by the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Exeter, Lord Burleigh, and
the family, in the north entrance-hall. Her Majesty,
saluted Lady Exeter most affectionately. Her Ma-
jesty, the Prince, and the suite, then proceeded round
the corridor to the drawing-room, where the guests
were assembled.

Her Majesty shortly after retired to her private
apartment, and at seven o'clock honoured the High
Sheriff of Northamptonshire with an audience, to re-
ceive the address from the gentry, clergy, freeholders,
and inhabitants of that county.
At eight o'clock the company left the grand saloon
for the banquetting-hall. Her Majesty took the arm of
her noble host, and was followed by Prince Albert
with the Marchioness of Exeter, the other distin-
guished company following in succession.
As her Majesty entered the, banquetting-room,
the band of the Coldstream Guards, who were
stationed in the gallery, played the National Anthem,
which was continued until all the guests were seated.
Covers were laid for forty persons.
Her Majesty sat in a state chair, placed in the
centre of the table, his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert occupying a seat on the right of the Queen, and
the Marquis of Exeter sat on the left of her Majesty.
The Marchioness of Exeter sat on the right of Prince
Albert, the Duke of Bedford occupying the next seat,
supported by Sir Robert Peel. Lady Portman sat
on the left of the Marquis of Exeter, Lord Burleigh
occupying the next seat, and in turn supported by the
Marquis of Granby.
The Duke of Rutland faced her Majesty, having
the Duchess of Bedford and Lady Willoughby
d'Eresby respectively on his right and left.
The banquetting hall is upwards of fifty feet in
length, twenty-eight broad, and exceedingly lofty.
It is lighted by a magnificent bow window on one
side, from which is obtained a delightful view of the
pleasure gardens surrounding the mansion. In the
recess of this window stands a superb wine cooler or
cistern of massive silver, weighing 3,800 ounces.
Upon a sideboard at the south end of the room, be-
neath a remarkably fine window, ornamented with
richly stained glass, representing the family arms and
the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter,
was a magnificent display of gold plate, some of which
was presented to the family by King James 11.,
Queen Anne, and George I.
At the north end of the room, at an elevation of
upwards of twelve feet, is the music gallery, capable
of accommodating about fifty performers, and it is
said that there are few rooms in the kingdom more
excellently constructed to give effect to musical
sounds.

The hall is lighted by ten superb Gothic chande-
liers, in character with the decorations of the apart-
ment, which are suspended from the roof.
During dinner the splendid band above alluded to
played the following pieces :
Overture, " La Sirene," Auber ; Recitative and Air,
" Holy and great" (Mount Sinai), Neukomm ; Quad-
rille, " Zampa," Jullien; selection from the Bohemian
Girl, Balfe ; Madrigal, from "Fair Rosamond," Bar-
nett ; Edward Walzer, Labitzky, composed in honour
of the Prince of Wales.

The banquet was of the most superb description,
and the table was covered with a profusion of gold
plate, and rich vasses filled with choice exotics.
The following is a list of the company who sat
down to the banquet :
Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert.

In the royal suite were the Lord Chamberlain,
Earl Delawarr ; the Master of the Horse, the Earl of
Jersey; Lady Portman, Lady in Waiting on her
Majesty; the Hon. Miss Liddell, Maid of Honour to
the Queen ; Colonel Buckley, Colonel Wylde, and
Mr. George E. Anson.
The general company included the Duke of Rut-
land, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Marquis
of Northampton, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of
Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, Earl Spencer, Lord
Stanley, Lord and Lady Willoughby D'Eresby, Lord
Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and Lady
Charles Wellesley, Lord Lovaine, Sir George Clerk,
Mr. P. S. Pierrepont, the High Sheriff of Northamp-
tonshire (Sir Henry Dryden), Mr. and Lady Caro-
line Tumor, Mr. and Lady Louisa Finch Hatton,
Captain and Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Maunsell (Colonel of
the Northamptonshire Yeomanry Cavalry), Mr. Staf-
ford O'Brien and the Rev. Mr. Atley, private chap-
lain to the Noble Marquis.
The family circle included the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Exeter and Lord Burleigh.
After the banquet,
The Marquis of Exeter gave " The health of her
Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria," which was
responded to by the company, who rose from their
seats simultaneously, the band playing the national
anthem.

The Noble Marquis next gave " The health of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert," which was re-
ceived with similar honours, the band playing the
Cobourg March.
Shortly afterwards her Majesty and the other
ladies retired to the drawing-room, the band playing
the National Anthem, and here they were speedily
joined by the gentlemen. The evening was passed in
social converse, in which her Majesty and the Prince
Consort took a prominent part. The Queen was
during the evening several times engaged in conver-
sation with her noble host and hostess.
The Coldstream band, after the banquet, took up
their station in a saloon adjoining the principal
drawing-room, and during the evening played several
favourite airs.

At a quarter to eleven o'clock, her Majesty retired
to rest in the apartment prepared for her reception, of
which so much has already been said. Her Majesty
was conducted to the apartment by her noble host,
preceded by the state pages in their gull dress liveries.
As the Queen retired, the band stationed in the
marble hall played the National Anthem, the tones of
which, thrilling through the various corridors of the
mansion, had a remarkably pleasing effect.
And thus closed the first day of Queen Victoria's
visit to Burleigh.
This morning the Queen rose at an early hour,
and breakfasted with the Prince Consort in her pri-
vate apartment.
Before taking breakfast, however, her Majesty, ac-
companied by Prince Albert, proceeded to the private
chapel of the mansion (where the other guests had
already assembled) to perform her morning devotions.
The chapel is a beautiful apartment, ornamented by
a variety of superb carving by Gibbons. Arranged
on each side are ten antique figures, as large as life,
in bronze.
It is asserted that Queen Elizabeth, when a visitor
at Burleigh, regularly attended Divine service in this
chapel, and that it was her custom to place herself on
the left side, nearest the altar, which has ever since
been distinguished by the appellation of Queen Eliza-
beth's seat.
This morning the weather has been very unfavour-
able. The rain has fallen without intermission since
midnight, and still continues.
It had been arranged that a battue should take place
this morning in the well-stocked preserves of the
Noble Marquis, and the game had been especially
preserved during the last few days for the purpose of
increasing the sport, but the rain up to this time has
prevented any of the party from leaving the mansion,
though the keepers and attendants hold themselves in
readiness to attend at a moment's notice.
The christening of the infant daughter of the Noble
Marquis, who, it will be recollected, was born on the
anniversary f the birth of the Prince of Wales last
year, as at resent arranged, will take place this even-
ing at six o clock, the ceremony being performed by
the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Peterborough,
who has already arrived here.
It has been stated that her Majesty had signified
her intention of standing sponsor, but this report is
stated to be incorrect.
The sponsors will be his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, Lady Sophia Cecil, and Lady Middleton.
The dinner circle to-day will include the following
distinguished company, in addition to the royal party,
covers being laid for exactly the same number of
guests :
The Duke of Rutland, the Marquis of Salisbury,
the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir R.
Peel, the Earl and Countess of Gainsborough, the
Earl and Countess of Aboyne, Lord Stanley, Lord
Brooke, Viscount and Viscountess Alford, the Lord
Bishop of Peterborough and Mrs. Davys, Lord Lo-
vaine, Lord Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and
Lady Charles Wellesley, Sir George Clerk, Sir John
Trollope, Sir William and Lady Middleton, Mr. P.
S. Pierrepont, and Captain and Mrs. Spencer.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford and Lord and
Lady Willoughby D'Eresby left Burleigh this

Earl Spencer, Mr. and Lady Finch Hatton, Sir
Henry Dryden, and Mr. Stafford O'Brien, took their
departure last night.
Sir James Graham is expected to-morrow, and
several other visitors, among whom may be mentioned
the Countess Delawarr and Lady Mary West, Lord
and Lady Lilford, Lord and Lady Hood, Viscount
Milton, and Mr. Fitzwilliam.
The rain, which at this time (three o'clock) is still
falling, has thrown a temporary gloom over the town
and neighbourhood.
There will be a grand pyrotechnic display in the
front of the mansion this evening, under the direction
of Southby, and the illumination will be even more
brilliant than last night.
The inhabitants of Stamford will dine together at
the George Hotel, this evening, the Mayor being in
the chair, in honour of the auspicious occasion.
The following address from the Corporation of
Stamford to her Majesty will be presented to-morrow
before dinner :
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" We, the mayor, aldermen, burgesses, clergy, and
other ministers, and the inhabitants at large of your
Majesty's ancient and loyal borough of Stamford,
most humbly and respectfully solicit permission to
approach your Majesty.
" We feel that we cannot adequately express the
deep sense which we entertain of your Majesty's con-
descension in honouring Stamford with your pre-
sence, and we desire most gratefully to acknowledge
the distinguished privilege accorded to us of thus con-
veying to your Majesty the assurance of our devoted
attachment to your Majesty's sacred person, family,
crown, and dignity.
" That your Majesty's life may be long preserved
for the happiness of your faithful subjects, that your
reign may be distinguished by the continued glory
and increasing prosperity of this great country, and
that a gracious Providence may v►sit your Majesty
and your Royal Consort with every personal and
domestic blessing, is our most sincere and earliest
prayer. _ _ _

- - " Given under the common seal of the said
borough the 12th day of November, in the
eighth year of your Majesty's reign."
Another address will be presented to the Prince
Consort.

There will be a grand ball to-morrow evening, to
which all the principal nobility and gentry of the
county are invited.
The Court, as at present arranged, will leave for
Windsor Castle on Friday morning.

SUNDERLAND, Nov. 12.—For some years past
there has not been so many ships in this port at one
time as during the last week. Not fewer than 700 vessels
were lying between the Lambton Staiths and the Low
Quay, so that the channel of the river could scarcely be
kept clear. Of this number from 250 to 300 sail were
laden, but could not proceed to sea in consequence of the
heavy storm which prevailed. On Friday last the har-
bourmaster gave public notice that all light vessels then
below the bridge were to be removed to the upper part
of the harbour, from Hetton Staiths upwards, until the
loaded ships proceeded to sea. The storm abated suffi-
ciently to enable ships to go to sea on Saturday, when a
few proceed out, and on Sunday evening, Monday, and
to-day, all the laden vessels have proceeded, so that the
harbour, though the scene of great bustle, is not now in-
conveniently crowded with shipping.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF AN ATTEMPTED ROB-
BERY AT THE ST. KATHERINE DOCKS.—During the
whole of Monday night several persons were seen by the
police to be hovering about Nightingale-lane, between
the walls of the London and St. Katherine Docks, and
as their appearance and manoeuvres were of a very sus-
picious looking character, a sharp look out was kept
upon them, but nothing was discovered as to their inten-
tions at the time. On Tuesday afternoon it was found
that the roof of the cigar floor, in the tobacco ware-
house at the St. Katharine Docks, was leaking, and that
a large quantity of water was pouring into the place,
and it being known that the same always took place
when the gutter in the roof became stopped up during a
heavy rain, no time was lost by the Dock Company's
servants in obtaining the assistance of workmen for the
purpose of examining the same. On proceeding to the
roof, the cause of the stoppage was discovered to be in
consequence of eleven or twelve large bladders being
placed in the gutter, and by their side several ropes and
other apparatus for assisting the robbers in letting the
same down the wall into the street. On the bladders
being removed to the dock-house, they were found to
contain brandy considerably above proof, and had evi-
dently been pilfered and intended to be removed on the
following night, if the curious discovery had not provi-
dentially taken place. We understand it has been since
found that the spirit was plundered from a ship re-
cently arrived in the Docks from Charente, and that a
hole had been bored in the forecastle of the vessel for the
purpose.
UNHEALTHINESS OF THE NORTHERN SUBURBS
THROUGH THE EFFLUVIA OF PONDS.—Yesterday a vestry
meeting of the parish of St. Pancras was held, for the
purpose of considering the application on the part of a
body of the inhabitants of Highgate, to be permitted to
divert the roadway, alter the drainage, and make such
other improvements in the Highgate ponds as would be
conducive to the better health and comfort of the neigh-
bourhood. Mr. Bird, the parish surveyor, in submitting
plans of the proposed alterations, said, a committee of
gentlemen had been formed for this purpose, and, ex-
cepting a sum of 651., which the directors and guardians
had already agreed to give towards so beneficial au ob-
ject, it would be carried into effect without expense to
the parish. The water contained in the pond was the
only water the inhabitants could command in cases of
fire. They were also very deficient there of water for
household purposes, and when the drainage was diverted
from its present course, the purity of the water would
be much greater. A vestryman said that great effluvium
arose from the ponds in their present state, and no doubt
seriously affected the health of the inhabitants. The
project would confer a great benefit on the district.
Mr. Morris thought that malaria was very prevalent in
the neighbourhood. The vestry, as conservators of the
health as well as the funds of the parish,. were bound
to acquiesce in that which was likely to ne a remedy
for the evil. The consent of the vestry was given to
the plan.
BEDFORD.—TESTIMONIAL TO MR. WIIITE.-011
Tuesday, November 12, a public tea meeting was held at
the Castle Rooms, Bedford, at which about 200 influen-
tial Dissenters of the town and neighbourhood were
present, for the purpose of presenting to Mr. William
White a splendid silver tea service, as a testimonial of
regard for the able and successful manner in which he
had defended their civil and religious rights at the board
of trustees of the Bedford Charity, and in a series of
letters which he had written in a tract entitled " The
Bedford Charity not Sectarian," in reply to one written
by the Rev. Edward Swann, a clergyman of the Church
of England, who endeavoured to prove that " Dissenters
had no right to be masters in the Bedford schools."
The Rev. J. Jukes presided. He made a few prelimi-
nary remarks, and stated the object of the meeting.
Isaac Eiger, Esq., presented the plate, and delivered an
appropriate address. The meeting was afterwards ad-
addressed by the Rev. W. Alliott, Messrs. Mackenzie, T.
Kilpin, W. W. Kilpin, Barker, and Blower, of Bedford,
By Foster, Esq., of Biggleswade, and C. J. Metcalfe,
jun., Esq., Roxton-house. The plate bore the following
inscription :—" This Tea Service was presented to Mr.
William White by the friends of Civil and Religious
Liberty at Bedford and in its vicinity, for the successful
defence of their interests in a series of Letters, entitled
The Bedford Charity not Sectarian.' November, 1844.5

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A NEWLY-MAR-
RIED MAN.—Yesterday week Joseph Ames, who has
been for some a book-keeper at the Bull, Aldgate, was
joined in wedlock, in Whitechapl Church, by a young
woman, several years his junior. On leaving the church,
Ames, addressing his bride, said, " You want to go to
the west end of the town, don't you ? But mind and be
back in an hour, and then perhaps we may go out toge-
ther." The bride promised to comply with his request,
and was about to part with him for an hour, when her
husband, as if recollecting him self, said, " Here, take
care of this, you may want it, and it may be of some
service to you ; ' and at the same time handed her a bag
containing 120 sovereigns, and also the marriage certifi-
cate, observing that the latter might be of use to her
also. Mrs. Ames proceeded to the west' end of the town,
and returned within the specified time to a public-house
which her husband had taken, and in which they were to
commence business on the following day, when, to her
great surprise, she discovered that her husband had not
been there. Sho remained for some time in the greatest
possible anxiety for his arrival, when a messenger
brought her a note, written evidently in much haste by
her husband, informing her that there was 1301. in the
bank, which she could have, together with some more
money in his trunks, and stating that she might 'have
all, as well as his clothes, and that, in all probability,
she would never seen him more. It seems that he has
kept his word, for, up to yesterday, no trace of him had
been discovered.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Two LIVES LOST.—.MAR..
GATE, Nov. 12.—Late last night two brothers, Henry
and John Payne, left the pier for the purpose of fishing
for herrings. Not having come home at the proper
time, and not being in sight, considerable anxiety was
felt by their friends, which was at last increased by an-
other boat coming in with eighteen out of twenty nets
belonging to the missing boat (the Henry). Immediately
several galleys and other boats put off to sweep the part
of the fishing-ground they supposed the parties had
taken, when they very shortly found the unfortunate
men's boat, which, on being brought on shore, proved to
have gone over while sailing, she having her sails set.
No doubt is entertained as to the fate of the two poor
fellows. They were as fine young men as any in the
place. Henry has left a widow but no family.
DEATH OF MR. SERGEANT ANDREWS.—This un-
fortunate gentleman who, it will be remembered, inflicted
a wound in his throat on Thursday last, expired yes-
terday morning, at his residence at Hampstead. The
Learned Sergeant, who was in his 73d year, was the
senior sergeant-at-law, and held his appointment by vir-
tue of a patent granted in the reign of George 111. The
Learned Gentleman, it is stated, had lately been exceed-
ingly melancholy, more particularly since the appoint-
ment of Mr. Sergeant Adams to the newly-created As-
sistant-Judgeship. He had frequently adverted to that
subject, and appeared, it is stated, to think that he him-
self had some prior claims to the appointment.
ALL HALLOW FAlR.—This annual cattle market
will be formally opened this forenoon by the magis-
trates. Up to yesterday afternoon only one or two lots
had reached the fair ground at Gorgie Mains, but a
large amount of stock was expected to be forwarded by
the morning, and holders of stock are sanguine of realis-
irin nenrul A, a • Ym
