BA MPFORD SPEKE.—The Bishop has written a
letter to the churchwardens, advising them to watch Mr.
Gorham's doctrine, and report to him. This is not the first
time that Mr. Gorham's conduct has been watched and re-
ported— to the disgrace of the watchers.— Western Times.
A TouGn PANE. —On Monday morning, while
the wind was blowing very fresh, it forced a pane of glass •
out of a window of the Talbot beer- house, in the Haymar-
ket. It fell upon the paving-stones of the street, and though
a large pane, measuring about 14 or 15 inches, it was taken
up unbroken.— Skffield Times.
FINE SAGE,—A few days ago John Nutt, an
amateur gardener living in Cricket-road Park, sent to cur
office for inspection an exceedingly fine sample of sage, of
his own growing. One single s'em was so large that when
cut it weighed four ounces : one of the leaves was six inches
and a half long and four inches broad.—Sheffield Times.

The English machine for sweeping the streets,
just brought over from England, was tried yesterday on the
Qui de Billy, and found to answer perfectly well.

BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY....--The half-
yearly accounts have just been issued, of which the following
is an abstract. The revenue account for the half-year end-
ing June 30, 1850, shows the receipts to have been t 6,386/.
18s. Id., and the expenditure 28,0211.45. 2d., leaving a dis-
posable balance of 28,3651. 13s. 1 Id., while the dividend paid
last half-year required 80,8431. 1,51., thus showing a defi-
ciency of upwards of 9,009/. to meet the dividend. The
approaching half-yearly meeting is exciting great attention,
and strong efforts are being used as well on the part of
the directors as of the dissaffected shareholders, to carry the
maj4rity.
The Master. General of the Ordnance, the Marquis
of Anglesey, G.C.8., G.C.H., &c., remained at:Portsny uth

General Lord F. Fitzelarenee, Colonel Lewis, of the Royal
Engineers, the clerk of the works, and other official persons,
went round the fortifications, and visited and inspected all
the works now in progresg; including Southsea Castle, the
specifications and plans for the new guard-house at King
William's Gate, &c. The business of the inspection occupied
the whole day.
CHARGES OF FORGERY AGAINST A WAKEFIELD
TRADESAIAN.—On Tuesday last the chief-constable of Wake-
field apprehended William Ramsden, painter, of Kirkgate, on
a charge of forgery. The accused was taken before the
magistrate, at the Court-house, and the charge formally laid
against him. It would seem from what little of the particu-
lars of the case transpired, that Ramsden is charged with
forging, in the first instance, the acceptance of Joseph Wilby
and Sun, of Ossett, near Wakefield, for 91. 15s. The forged
acceptance was dated August 7th, in the present year, end
purporting to be payable at Messrs. Denison and Co.'s
bankers, London. The second charge against Ilamsden is
for forging a guarantee, purporting to be signed by " John
Hargreaves," directing Mr. B. Hirst, of Leeds, to deliver to
him, Ramsden, Si. worth of goods. The case was adjourned
to allow the chief-constable time to complete his evidence,
and Rrmsden was removed in custody.
ALARMING FIRE AT DEPTFORD,—Last night, at a
few minutes before eleven o'clock, a mounted express ar-
rived at the London fire-engine stations with intelligence
that a fire had broken out in the soap factory of Messrs. When
and Co., in the Bridge-road, Deptford. it being well known
that these premises were of vast extent, the engines of South-
wark-bridge-road, Watling-street, and Toolep-street stations,
with Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent; Mr. Henderson,
the foreman of the D discrict, and powerful bodies of men, were
dispatched to the scene. Upon reaching which, the firemen
found that the fire had originated in the drying house belong-
ing to George Rice and Co., the rag-bleachers,whose property
adjoins the large soap factory—the same steam-power being
used in both premises. From the fact of the close proximity
of each, a most fearful conflagration appeared inevitable ;
but the engines of her Majesty's dockyard, and several
others in the town having speedily arrived, the men in
charge of the same, together with the police and inhabitants
exert themselves most praiseworthily, and happily succeeded
in extinguising the fire before any damage was done to the
adjoining property. The drying-house, however, in which it
commenced, was burnt down, and the contents consumed.
From the examination since made, no doubt is entertained
but that the fire was caused from the over-heat of the dry-
ing stove. It could not be learned, in, consequence of all
hands having left the premises before the outbreak was no-
ticed, whether the firm was insured or not.
DREADFUL MURDER. GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY
EVENING —This evening the inhabitants of Gloucester were
alarmed by the rumour that a man had killed his wife on
the road between this city and Bristol. The rumour un-
happily is too true. The circumstances are briefly as follow :
—A man named Miller, accompanied by his wile and an-
other person, was proceeding on the Bristol-road frcm this
city with a dog-cart containing their wares, they being
travelling hawkers, when they quarrelled, and after a few
angry words the man struck his wife a violent blow on the
left breast, about the region of the heart. The woman was
knocked into the ditch by the roadside, where she lay for a
few moments, when, not rising, the other man became
alarmed, and with the assistance of the husband pulled her
out of the ditch, but life was found to be quite extinct.
Some workmen employed is loading a vessel with ballast now
came up and seized Miller, who was conveyed to the
Gloucester lock-up, where he awaits the result of a coroner's
inquest on the body. A surgeon arrived shortly after, but no
human skill could revive the corpse.
TUB WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—During the
past week, a considerable breadth of corn has been cut in the
neighbourhood of Newcastle, the harvest having commenced
in good earnest, but the wheat crops are reported as cutting
up thinner than was generally expected. On Sunday and
Monday the district was visited by a very heavy storm of
wind, which has done great damage to the standing crops,
especially in exposed situations ; where it was ripe more than
the seed has been shaken out, and where it was not so for-
ward, and the straw green, it is severely broken and twisted.
Since the wind the air bas been very cold, with little sun-
shine, especially in the evenings. On Wednesday evening
the thermometer was as low as 33 degrees.—Leeds 11:ercury.
APOTHECARIES' llALL.—Names of gentlemen who
passed their examination in the science and practice of medi-
cine, and received certificates to practice, on Thursday, Aug.
22, 1850:—John Rigby, Preston, Lancashire; Charles An-
derson Dalgairns, Guernsey; Claudius Galen Wheelhouse,
Leeds; James Hurffis Black, Dysart, Fife, N.B.
NOTTINGHAM Teenr.—Lace--We continue doing
a very fair busines for the season, with good prospects for
the next few months, as stocks of most descriptions of goods
are light. Cotton, it is supposed, will maintain its price for
some time, as spinners are full of orders at the highest price.
It is also thought silk will be yet dearer. Hosiery—There
is a good demand for articles adapted for the winter trade,
and a deal of cotton is being used in fabrics intended for
spring goods for shipment for America, as soon :s ordets from
that country arrive, and which nay be expected in a few
weeks. The price of cotton is still maintained, but there is
greatuneasiness respecting it, us the price of the raw-material
is receding ; consequently it is in Anme :wawa checking

[By seine unhccountable accident the parcel contain-
ing the following additional particulars of the Ebor St.
Leger was not delivered until Friday morning:—
The hour at which the Eb'or St. Leger came off hav-
ing rendered it necessary to forward the issue by electric
telegraph, wo were unable to state the seriocomic
man-
ner in which it vi as contested. The betting at starting
was 7 to 2 in William the Conqueror, and 4 to 1 agat
Mask Tapley. On the flt.g bring lowered, the lot walked
leisurely trod the post, and each of the riders having re-
ceived waiting orders, there was no improvement in the
pace until they bad c.-..vered three-quarters of a mile.
William the Conqueror then jumped off, and had a strong
lead until inside the distance; Mirk Tapley then closed
with him, and a very severely contested race terminated
in favour of the Goodwood nag, by a short head. So
near a thing was it, that many fancied it was a dead heat,
and Cartwrigh:, who rode Mark Tapley, believed he had
won. The tune was 14 min. 17 sec. Nat was on the
winner, and Holmes on Pilgrim. The weather was ex
tronely cold, and the company moderate in number and
rank.]
