some feet under water. At the latter-tr,entioned bridge the
an d
Kew steam-boats could not pass thre,ugh,
and were obliged
to awa t the falling of the tide, 'much to the inconvenience
of the passengers. At Wands',Jorth the tide made free with
the works of the Richmor,d Railway, on that side of the
line that will pass over the osier-beds. Here the tide rose

about four feet, suslYl:nded all labour, and floated the timber
about in admirable, confusion. The high tides will be very
prejudicial to tl,_e progress of the viaduct which is to traverse
this part, aril immense expense must be incurred in the
making o€ dams before the foundation of the bridges can be
laid.

EFFECT OF GUANO ON VINES AND ORANGE TREES
—Mr. Driver, of Madeira, in February last, used four bags
of Peruvian guano on four acres of vines, the result of which
is that he had four-fold the quantity of grapes produced in
farmer years, which, of course, will yield four times the quan
tity of wiue, unless bad weather occurs between this and the
vintage. Mr. D. also tried it with orange trees, which have
given nearly double the usual number, and are much larger
in size.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL
ARSENAL.—In consequence of the fearful results of the late
fatal accident, the authorities seem determined to use every
effort to guard against the possibility of an event of a similar
nature occurring in the royal laboratory department. The
manufacture of blank and ball cartridge, which has hitherto
been carried on in sheds in the, centre of the square attached
to the royal laboratory department, has been removed to
the extremity of the Arsenal, near the canal, and it is un-
derstood that the work of extracting the saltpetre from the
fuses will also be carried on in this spot as soon as the neces-
sary arrangeme.nts for that purpose can be made. The
object of these, changes appears to be to remove these some-
what dangerous occupations from those localities where a
large que,,iity of inflammable and explosive compounds are
necess;erily deposited.
LETTERS OF Jumus.—The Inverness Cow ier says,
t7.uat Sir David Brewster, who is married to a daughter of the
late James Macpherson, Esq., translator of " Ossian's Poems,''
1 has discovered some letters among the papers of his father-
in-law which may lead to the discovery of a great secret--
the authorship of " Junius." The person who, as Sir David
thinks, may be identified as the author, is Lachlan Maclean,
the son of an Irish Presbyterian clergyman, but descended
from the ancient Scottish family of the Macleans of Coll. He
was bred to the study of medicine, but became a political
writer and adventurer in London, and rose to some eminence.
He was once an Under-Secretary of State, in which capacity
he might have become acquainted with State secrets.
Having been sent out to India by Government in 1776, he
was shipwrecked and drowned on the passage—a circum-
stance that may account for the non-revealment of thesecret
as to the authorship of " Junius." His papers were all lost
at the same time.
STATE OF TELIDE.—There was a considerable
change in the state of the yarn market yesterday ; the
animation which prevailed a few days ago having entirely
subsided, in consequence of the sudden cessation of pur-
chases for the German markets. We understand that this
cessation has been caused by the announcement (which ap-
peared in the Guardian of Saturday) that the Congress of
the Zollverein had brought its deliberations to a close with-
out imposing any additional duty on cotton twist. Down
to a very recent period, a strong impression prevailed that
the present duty would be very considerably increased at
the commencement of the year, and large contracts had con-
sequently been made for yarns, to be delivered at such periods
as would enable the shippers to enter them within the
limits of the Zollverein before the Ist of January. As it is
now obvious that no advantage will be gained by this course,
the Germans have for a time discontinued their operations.
The spinners, however, are so generally engaged for some
weeks to come, that this pause in the demand has had no
sensibleeffoct upon prices. The goods market remains in the
same state as last week, the demand being moderate, and
prices in some cases a little easier.--Manchester Guardian.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 13.
—We have had a fair average market to-day, at prices
similar to those of the preceding week. The wool market
still is heavy, and the business transacted very limited.—
Manchestev Guardiau.
THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS.—The Bishop
of Oxford has been translated to the vacant diocese of Bath
and Wells, and Dr. Samuel Wilberforce, Dean of Westmin-
ster, has been nominated to succeed him. Dr. Wilberforce
will also be ex officio prelate of the Order of the Garter. It
is also rusnoured that the Rev. John Bull, D.D., Canon of
Exeter, will succeed Dr. Wilberforce as Dean of 'Westmin-
e ter.— Church and State Gazette.
A man named Mom, formerly an inspector of Clio
Wilts police, is in custody at Bath, charged with stealing a
silver hammer, and a cash-box containing 801., the property
of Mr. R. W. Sheppard, of Enchain, near Oxford.—Devizes
gazette.
