LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1844.

By an official letter which has been received at the
Castle and forwarded from thence to the Lord Mayor,
it appears that the new Viceroy will arrive in Dublin
on Friday, the 26th instant. Being well aware, as
he must necessarily be, of the utter failure of the
shilly-shally system of policy pursued by his prede-
cessor, it is to be hoped that he will see fit to adopt
without delay a totally new system, and exhibit, by
deeds as well as words, a sincere disposition to pro-
mote the welfare of that exciteable and aggrieved
country over which he is placed in authority.
Hitherto, the policy of the Irish Lord Lieu-
tenants has been, with one or two rare ex-
ceptions, to rule for the benefit of a party,
not of a people ; and to show the vast
mass of the liberal Catholic population that they are
still held in distrust, notwithstanding that the Eman-
cipation Bill professed for its leading object the doing
away with all invidious distinctions between them
and the Protestants. But this policy, founded on the
principle of an unworthy jealousy, can no longer be
pursued with safety. We see how egregiously it has
failed in the instance of Lord DE GREY, who with
the language of impartiality ever on his lip gave
every encouragement to the spirit of partisanship—
the curse of Ireland from time immemorial ; and he
who would endeavour to persevere in this one-sided
system of government, can anticipate none other than

STATE OF TRADE.

• FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEK JEI somewhat
extensive business has been done iI -Foreign
_WOII this
week, at recent rates,
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 19.—We cannot
quote any alteration either in the price or demand during
the past week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY 19.—There have been
very few sales passing during the week ; what are made, are
at more money, but at prices quite inadequate to what is
given in the country. There is a fair demand for blanket
wool, which also commands full prices.
LEEDS.—This week we have had brisk markets at both
our Cloth Halls for goods of a general description, more par-
ticularly for beavers, low cloth shawls, and fancy cloakings.
The supply for the market still continues very limited, in
consequence of the principal manufacturers being engaged in
delivering to order. The pr,ices of all kinds of goods of low
qualities are a shade higher, but fine goods remain steady in
price, notwithstanding the demand is more lively than it has
been for some time past. There has been a number of the
larger buyers of finished goods in the town this week, and
pretty extensive purchases have been made ; on the whole
there is a greater amount of business than usual at this period
of the season doing in the warehouses.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is an increased
demand for merinos which are still scarce, and commanding
full prices. In other goods about an average business is doing,
and at last week's prices. In yarns there is nothing new
since our last, either in demand or prices. There is rather
more doing both in combing and clothing wools, and the bu-
siness is no doubt retarded by the staplers seeking higher
prices to meet the rates paid to the growers.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—The
demand for cloth that was so general and extensive on Tues-
day, continues, and large as is the production, the legitimate
wants of buyers seem equal thereto, and the state of things
here must now be called healthy, with prices if anything
higher, even in the face of a lowering market in Liverpool.
The home trade continues to improve, as the lowering stocks
of domestic cloth clearly indicate. Yarns are in exceed-
ing brisk demand, and are again the turn dearer.—Leeds

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES,
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of, their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments. •

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The subject of the supposed new destructive power,
invented by Captain Warner, has recently been revived
in the public mind by an announcement that an experi-
ment upon a grand scale would take place off Brighton,
the inventor undertaking to destroy and sink a ship of
between 300 and 400 tons burden by the simple force of
one discharge (so to speak) of his " invisible shell," as
the invention has been termed. Saturday, the 13th inst.,
as our readers are aware, was the day originally ap-
pointed for the experiment to be made, and, as stated
in the journal of last week, the extraordinary nature of
the undertaking had the effect of attracting a very large
number of ,naval and military officers, noblemen and
Others, froth London, for the purpose of witnessing it.
'Adverse winds, and other accidental circumstances com-
bined,'however, prevented the ship from reaching Brigh-
ton on the 13th, and the " curious" were disap-
pointed, at any rate for a time ; but all concurred in re-
lieving Captain Warner from the charge of intentional
neglect.
On Wednesday, the ship intended to be experimenta-
lised upon, a fine barque of between 300 and 400 tons
burden, named the John of Gaunt, and belonging to Mr.
Somes, of London, who liberally granted it for the pur-
pose, arrived off Shoreham, and the necessary arrange-
ments having been completed, Saturday was fixed as the
most convenient day for the trial to come off, principally
to allow the attendance of the Members of the House of
Commons, many of whom had expressed a wish to be
present.

COURT OF CHANCERY, July 20.

PICKVORD AND OTHERS V. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAIL.

WAY COMPANY.
This was an appeal from the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor, who had decided against the plaintiffs. The
question at issue was a matter of tolls, in which the ap-
plicants felt themselves aggrieved by the de-ision of the
issues which had been tried in the case, and they now
came before his Lordship to obtain that redress in equity
to which they conceive themselves entitled.
Mr. Stewart and other gentlemen were heard for the
applicants, and their case occupied the attention of the
Court the entire day.
The Court rose at three o'clock.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 20.
(Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
31.k.UNS V. PRICE.

The arguments in this case, which had occupied the
greater part of Thursday and Friday, were concluded
to-day, when his Honour gave judgment to the effect
that, the defendant undertaking not to cause damage
wrongfully to the plaintiff, the injunction prayed for
would not be granted, and then his Honour directed cer-
tain issues to be tried. They were to the effect, whether
since 1843 the defendants had worked their mines in an
unminerlike manner, or so as to damage the plaintiff, or
in a way that was necessary for rendering the mines
profitable.
The injunction which the motion sought was to restrain
the defendant from working by patch work to obtain
ironstone on an estate in Glamorganshire belonging to
Lord Dunraven.

CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.

Mrs. Langridge, of the Sun and Punch-bowl public-
house, in Long-lane, Smithfield, attended with Mr.
Wolfe, the solicitor, before Mr. Alderman Hughes
Hughes, and Sir John Pine, to answer a charge laid by
the police for harbouring and permitting prostitutes to
assemble in the said house between the hours of two and
three in the morning of Monday last. The evidence
given by the police confirmed the facts laid in the infor-
mation.
In answer to Mr. Wolfe, they stated that Mrs. Lang-
ridge, when told who the characters were, directed them
to leave the house, and she said she did not know who
they were from any other females.
Mr. Wolfe addressed the bench, and endeavoured to
substantiate his statement by calling witnesses, when
Mr. Alderman Hnghes stopped the case. He said the
case had been clearly proved, and they should inflict on
the defendant a penalty of 2/. for the offence, and or-
dered the clerk to return the conviction to the Quarter
Sessions against the renewal of the license.
Mr. Wolfe protested against the conviction as unjust,
and begged permission that the defendant's witnesses
might be heard, for they would clearly prove Mrs
Langridge's innocence of having offended against the
law.

Mark Samuel, a costermringer, was brought up for
selling fruit in the street, with a false 11b. weight, defi-
cient 4oz. of the proper standard. The weight was pro-
duced; it had the bottom cut completely out.
The COURT inflicted a penalty of 2/ and in default of
payment the defendant was committed to seven days'
imprisonment.
Several small shopkeepers stated the greatest injury
was inflicted on them by such characters as the defen-
dant, who swarmed the streets of London during the
fruit season, and professed to sell a pound of fruit at a
sum it was impossible to purchase it for at the markets.
It was well known that the weights which they hawk
about with them were false ; in fact, in most instances,
they were upwards of a third short, yet they were al-
lowed to remain selling their barro*'s-load of cherries
opposite a shopkeeper's door, who, try all he could, was
unable to sell even a basket in a day, because he gave
just weight.
Mr. Alderman Ihroins said it was certainly a great
hardship, but with the vigilance of the officers he had no
doubt but that their system of fraud would speedily be
checked.

Here Mr. Knott introduced " one of the class," who
had just been liberated from Bridewell after seven days'
imprisonment. He had been convicted last Saturday
for selling cherries in the street with a false weighing-
machine, an ounce draft in favour of himself, caused by
four farthings stuck into the beam of the machine with
copper wax. He now applied for the machine, which,
after a promise that he would not offend again, was ru-
stored to him. The effect, of the imprisonment was too
apparent on his features. Refusing to conform with the
regulations of the prison, out of the seven days' im-
prisonment, he had passed three in solitary confinement.

CHEAP LIGHT.

FDWARD PRICE and C 6., Patentees and Sole
Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. - Parties intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

POEEXGN.

In the French Chamber of Deputies the Marquis de La-
roche Jaquelin complained bitterly of the treatment to
which some Legitimatists had been subjected by the Govern-
ment, and several of the opposition journals of Liberal poli-
tics join. in the complaint. "We believe," says Galignani
" there are few persons, acquainted with the principle and
practice of the French law in the proceedings against an ac-
cused person before trial, who would take upon themselves
to defend either the one or the other. We are not surprised,
therefore, that such anomalies in civilisation should meet
with reprobation."
On Tuesday, at three o'clock, the King, attended by
Colonel de Chabannes, the Count de Strada, and an orderly
officer, went from Neuilly to St. Cloud, but returned at four
o'clock. In the evening their Majesties received the Hano-
verian and Hessian Msnisters, the Belgian Chargé d'Affaires,
the Prince de Wagram, the Duke de Trdvise, General Ber-
theis, and M. de Rdmusat.

An orderly officer of Marshal Bugeaud arrived yesterday
morning at the Hotel of the Minister at 'War, not being aware
of Marshal Soult's departure for St. Amand. As orders have
been given to dispatch directly to the Minister all that
comes from Africa, the officer immediately set out after the
Marshal.

Some labourers a few days ago, in digging the founda-
tions of the cavalry barracks at Colmar (Haut-Rhin), turned
up two silver deniers of Charlemagne, hitherto unknown to
the antiquaries. They are of rude workmanship, but in per-
fect preservation. On the obverse they bear the legend Carl.
R. F. (Carolus Rex Francorum), and on the reverse, Civi.
Arge. (Ciritas Argentina).
Barcelona journals of the 12th state that the health of the
Queen continues to improve, and give an account of a visit
paid by her to the troops in their barracks, where she was
received with great enthusiasm.
On the 10th inst. three citizens of Saragossa were shot in
one of the public squares. They were said to have been im-
plicated in the death of General Esteller during a popular
tumult in 1838.

LAW AND POLICE.

At Chelmsford Assizes, Abraham Thurgood, 57, Tabourer,
was indicted for the manslaughter of his wife, Mary Anne
Thurgood, by kicking her in a most brutal manner. He was
acquitted.
A boy, named John Hardy, aged eleven, was indicted at
the same assizes, for feloniously setting fire to a stack of straw,
the property of Frederick Charles Fitch, at Steeple Bump-
stead. He said that his master had beaten him, and that he
committed the act to revenge himself. He was found guilty,
but sentence was deferred.

The Commission for Cambridge was opened on Thursday,
at three o'clock, by Mr. Sergeant Byles, the judges being de-
layed. There is a heavy calendar of offences from the ten
districts.

At Oxford, the action brought by the authorities of Eton
College against the churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary,
for seizing a portion of the College plate, in a distress for
poor-rates, was decided yesterday, by the jury returning a
verdict for the plaintiff, thus establishing the exemption of
the collegiate property from parochial burdens.
John Wright, a waterman, and master of the Falcoa
steamer, plying between Gravesend and London, was sum-
moned at the Thames Police-office, under the 23d of the by--
laws, founded on the Watermen's Act, for abusing, wrong-
fully detaining, and otherwise misbehaving himself towards
Mr. Robert Blachford, a gentleman residing in Grove-road,
Mile-end. It arose from a-dispute about the fare. Wright
was fined 405., and the complainant left to bring his action
should he choose to do so.

=On Friday bail was tendered for John Alves, the person
detained on a charge preferred by Lord Charles Fitzroy, of
having defrauded him of two promissory notes of 1,0001. each.
Mary Lang, a respectable-looking middle-aged female,
who has been twice before charged at Queen-square with
creatinF distgriqaiwe at the residence of J. Ireland Black-
burn, F.sq., the Member for Warrington, and his sisters, was
charged with repeating her visit to the latter's house on
Thursday evening, and making use of violent and threaten-
ing language. She was sent to prison in default of bail.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

(From the Times.)
When the John o'Gaunt came abreast the battery, being
at a distance of about a mile and a-half from shore, a Union
Jack. the signal agreed upon, was hoisted on the flagstaff, to
intimate to Captain Warner that ho was now to destroy the
ship in the wake of the Sir 'William 'Wallace, on board of
which he himself was, with his implements of destruction. A
short delay took place, and the Union Jack on the steamer's
mast, which it was arranged should be hauled (lowa previous
to the destruction of the pursuing ship, was re-hoisted half-
mast high. to indicate, as we understood, that some
informed
that was in Captain Warner's way. We have been since
that a cutter kept hovering in the John o'Gaunt's track, in
a direction very dangerous to herself, and this prevented
Captain Warner's immediate operation. At last the Union
Jack was fairly lowered, the steamer's head was turned
somewhat towards the shore, and the devoted John o'Gaunt
followed in her wake. We may say without exaggeration,
that the suspense of all present was painful—the silence was
deep and unbroken. A smoke seemed suddenly to envelope
the John o'Gaunt, her mainmast shoe up perpendicular from
her deck, no noise save that of the rending of timbers was
heard, and on the apparent smoke's clearing away, the
smitten ship heeled over to port and sank. We say appa-
rent smoke because we have since ascertained that what we,
and a majority of those present, apprehended to be smoke,
was in reality displaced water sent up in a huge column into
the air. A similar phenomenon was reported to have been
exhibited in an experiment performed by Captain Warner
before Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, Sir henry
Hardinge, and others, in the year 1842. When the John
o'Gaunt heeled over on her larboard side, we saw through
a powerful telescope, and Captain Dickeson stated to us
that he saw the same, through the main hatchway, the

CHEAP LIGHT.

FDWARD PRla;nifoo:; Patentees and Sole
J Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties Intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere. ,

They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
ClerkenweU.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,
Daylight View of
LONDON in the OLDEN TIME!

Painted by Danson and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its• extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only ar a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa.
::ous Lake, to be hilly appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Mondays, Tues.
Jays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey,
are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in
loing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.
_ _

Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
tate, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis.

should be either tried or discharged on the present occasion.
Those engaged for the Crown say that they are certain of
a conviction.
The other principal case to be tried is that of a police-
serjeant named Ogle, who is charged with having caused
riband papers to be put into the pocket of a person named
31‘Laughlan, at a wake in Shinrone, and then endeavouring
to prosecute him to conviction, at the last assizes for this
county. There are several other persons to be tried with him
as accomplices, and the case, as well as that for the murder
