THE SUN, LON DON, liVinN_PS

1 those practised by JohausA Sonnac,..a., or the founder of
the "unknown tongues;" but when we. find these reli-
gionists making use of their sacred functions, wielding
the power given to them by their position in the Church,
and traitorously combining against Protestantism, which
they had sworn to maintain and defend, we can find
no language sufficiently strong to describe such we r,l of
honour, such breach of sacred oaths, and each a total
disregard of those ties which bind together civilised
society. These men remained in the Church solely to
undermine it, and now begin to drop off when the
law and public opinion have affixed a condign
stigma on their Jesuitical plots. The following
sentence from Mr. WARD'S book fully bears out the
charge that his object was to make use of his position in
destroying Protestantism, and in bringing back the dis-
ciples of the Reformation to the doctrines and communion
of Rome :—" The progress from error to truth can-
not be made in one leap : persons cannot, on
the mere word of an external authority, em-
brace at once a whole class of now doctrines, fo-
reign, and at first even repugnant, to their moral
nature. The doctrines, again, to which I allude, are
but accessories to the central verities of the Gospel—not
those verities themselves ; and will follow in due time,
in proportion as those verities are rightly believed, hear-
tily embraced, and fed on by prayer and contemplation.
The English Church then at present, witnessing as it does
those truths in its formularies, but silent, to say the least,
on these accessories, does seem a providential ordinance
adapted to prepare minds by degrees for the doctrine
and communion of Rome." Let us be thankful
therefore that the plot has been discovered (we hope in
time), and that the voice of the country, which has
already done so much, will compel the rest
of the class to follow Mr. WARD, and join
those whose tenets they profess. Mr. WARD
has retired, it is true, but, in doing so, he has
only shown more clearly the dangerous principles by
which he was actuated. He remained in the English
Church, according to his own showing, because, he says,
there is nothing in that Church to hinder any one
from holding all Roman doctrine, and because . all
those who being in doubt of her claims, and
resolving on living a stricter life in her com-
munion (meaning thereby Romanism) had found
an ever•increasing confidence in their position. These
circumstances, he adds, have ceased to exist. In short,
he cannot enjoy the emoluments of Protestantism, and,
at the same time, profess Popery, so he makes a virtue of
necessity, and walks out, that he may not be forcibly
expelled.

The report of the Commissioners on Tidal Harbours,
the concluding passages of which we published in our
edition of Monday, will be hailed, we are confident, by
all our readers, as one of the moat valuable and im-
portant results of the labours of the last session of Par-
liament. We cue imagine no subjects better entitled to
the most careful investigation of a well-composed Com-
mission than the present condition of these harbours ;
the nature and extent of works, in progress or com-
pleted, for the removal of obstructions, the deepening
of their channels, the security of their entranes, and
their general maintenance.
With regard to the harbours, ILI well as to so many
other of her natural resources and geographical capa-
cities, it may be said that the progress of this country
in strengthening her position and defences, has hitherto
been, not on account of their development, but in despite
of them. No kingdom ever made such vast and rapid
advances in all power, devoting at the same time so little,
comparatively speaking, of the same energy and the same
wealth to the consolidation of the advantages which the
outline of her coasts affords to her. It may be that this
neglect is attributable to a generous confidence on the
part of the people and of their rulers in the national
spirit and intrepidity ; in that love of country and that
irrepressible maritime enterprise, which never find
us content to awa.t the attack of an insulting
enemy within our own boundaries, but make us always
eager to be first a-field, by sea or by land, and urging on
offensive operations. This plea may be available, perhaps,
to excuse the neglect of simply defensive positions. But
it cannot satisfy the complaints of humanity. Our utter
deficiency of harbours of refuge throughout the long
period of fire hundred years, for which our commerce
has been gradually expanding itself from its incipient
trade in the wool staple to its present enormous dimen-
sions, is a moral and social, as well as a political
anomaly, for which it would be as difficult to as-
sign any valid excuse as it would be to devise any
adequate explanation. The simple ground of expense
on which Sir R. PEEL and Mr. Gormnuese have hereto
fore attempted to justify their disregard of the earnest re-
commendations of the Committee on Harbours of Refuge,
before which the Duke of WELLINGTON himself—as
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports—had made out, in
his evidence, a case of such urgent and imperative ne-
cessity for the immediate construction of these works at
different points upon our shores—that ground of
" expense" on which it is so convenient for First Lords
of the Treasury and Chancellors of the Exchequer to fall
back when they are reluctant to comply with the wishes of
Parliament, and which they find it so convenient to
forget or lose sight of when they have some favourite
objects of their own to carry—this ground cannot be
sustained. A country whose annual expenditure is up-
wards of 50,000,000/. per annum, whereof a considerable
proportion is absorbed by civil establishments, paid on
the most extravagant scale, and civil pensions and pen-
sions allotted by the Crown (but paid by the public), for
mere personal services or considerations of personal
favouritism ; such a country-cannot be truly said to be un-
able with safety to incur one charge of four or five or even
six millions for the construction of permanent harbours of
refuge for our swarming merchant vessels running down
our dangerous coasts, or the fortifying new posts, or
repairing old works already established, for the better
protection of our trade and our stores, our coast towns,
dockyards, creeks, mouths of rivers, &c. If the Premier
can bring himself to persist, year after year, in a period
of peace, to levy the most odious of peace taxes,
though it may be the most justifiable of our imposts.;—
if the Chancellor of the Exchequer insist on maintain-
ing this oppressive property-tax, in order that he may
chuckle over his " surplus revenue " of 3,000,0001. (ex-
isting only in virtue of the 5,000,0001. and more realised
by this single tax), shall we be told that Dungeness and
Seaford can not be made harbours, nor the ports of Hythe
and Rye be restored, nor Harwich improved, nor Dover
deepened, nor less promising positions on the west coast
of England, as well as on the south and east, be improved
into available " refuges" for our tempest-tossed merchant-
men and our gallant navy ? With the welfare of both of
these services, the main interests, the lasting prosperity of
this mighty empire are intimately and indissolubly bound
up. How long, then, are exigences of finance (fictitious
exigencies after all, and not necessarily attaching to a
more economised or better digested system than that
upon which our finance, are administered) tobe thus per-
mitted to outweigh the sacred claims with regard to the
security of human life, and of the great arm of our na-
tional force, the navy? But we trust that the good sense
of Parliament will vindicate the force of those claims by
an expression of opinions so complete, as regards both
this view of the case and the deman,ls of a torecastiug
and intelligent regard to the aspect of our foreign rela-
tions, as shall compel the adoption by Government of the
views it has solemnly recorded in the report in question.
In connexion with these and a powerful auxiliary in
giving to them all the effect which they ought to have,
will now be taken the report on tidal harbours. The
Commissioners are men well entitled to the confidence
of the Legislature and the country by scientific acquire.
ments or professional experience ; as official functiona-
ries, or as practical men of business, and Members of Par-
liament. Rear-Admiral Bowexs, M.P., is the Chairman.
The other Commissioners are Captains GORDON BRISMiR
and J. WASMINGTON, R.N., Mr. BEAUFORT, hydrogra-
pher, Professor AIRY, the setronomer royal, Messrs.
JOSEPH Helix, M.P., AARON CHAPMAN, M.P., ED•
WARD RICH, M.P.,THOWAfit BARING, M.P., and RICHARD
Gonsox, M.P. They do not adopt any halting, compro-
mising tone in setting out their recommendatione ; and
we rejoice to see that there is no mock delicacy, no
" nolo Episcopari" fencing with the high and re-
sponsible functions which they have been willing :to
take upon themselves. They recommend that " their
Board should have summary jurisdiction over the
waters of the tidal harbours and navigable rivers
with a reservation, only, of private rights under charter,
and the continuation of local boards where this Com-
mission may think fit. That this Commission have full
powers, by the assistance of engineers and surveyors, to
ascertain the extent of all nuisances and obstructions in
such tidal harbours and rivers, and to summons jurors
of the neighbourhood to inquire into and report upon
the same, to be thereupon dealt with by the Commis-
sioners, where such nuisance, &c., shall be found to have
existed for a period of .. . . years. That the Board
divide all the coasts of the kingdom into a cer-
tain number of sections, each of these being placed
under the superintendence of a competent person, who
shall visit, at least once a year, every port, river, har-
bour, and creek within his district, and report the state
of the same, and the progress of any works carrying on
there; and that the Board may enforce the appointment
of a resident engineer or harbour-master wherever the
port, harbour, &c., may 'Gem of sufficient importance to
call for such appointment. That the accounts of all trusts
of harbours or navigable rivers be prepared and sent into
this Board, made up to the 31st December previously,
on or before the 31st of March in each year. That all
commenced or proceeded with
works, public or private,

without the consent of this Board, that shall be within
the high-water mark of ordinary spring tides, shall be
stopped by this Board's order, and, if necessary) ho
removed at the expense of the parties who have con-
structed them." Other recommendations which follow
regard the provision to be made for securing accurate
registers and reports of the state of the harbour ground■
from time to time, registers of meteorological, tidal, and
barometrical observations, dtc. The conolucties per-
graph is so directly to the purpose of these observations,
and similar comments which we have on other occasions
submitted on this very important topic to the public,
that we hope to be excused for quoting some part of it in
this place :
" And when they eonsider the great wait of accessible har-
bours along the whole of the toasts of you. Majesty's dominions
—more especially when the extended use of steam-navigation
points to such great changes in maritime affairs, whereby
every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when
they consider that by the improvement of our tidal harbours
your Majesty's beneficient intentions for the preservation of
the lives and property of a large class of year Majesty's sub-
jects may be fulfilled, they confidently trust that no minor
considerations may be allowed to impede the accomplishment
of objects of such national importance."

These are words of weight and wisdom. Let us hope
they will be not only remembered, but promptly
acted upon by the Government, who ought to feel by
this time that harbours of refuge, the better mainten-
ance of all works connected with the conservancy of
rivers and existing harbours, and the adequate fortifica-
tions of our exposed coasts, are national objects of far
higher interest and importance than struggles for main-
taining the ascendancy of their own party, or for the
propagation of their own political opinions.

Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received,
but they contain no intelligence of the slightest interest.
A new list of senators, chiefly selected from members of
the liberal professions and the wealthier classes of
civilians, was to be published in a few days.
On the 25th the Three per Cents. closed at 3lf for
cash, and 3li for the 30th of August ; and the Five per
Cents, at 22f at 60 days.

The Paris Moniteur contains dispatches from Otaheite
up to the 29th of April. At that period no fresh act of
disturbance on the part of the nativee had taken place
in that settlement, but some of them still continued in
the entrenched camps of Panavia and Papenao. At the,
Marquesas Islands a tribe of Nouka-lliva, discontented
with a fine inflicted on it for having plundered some
flocks, assassinated, on the 28th of January, five sol-
diers of the garrison. A detachment sent against th 4
tribe pursued and dispersed it. All the other tribes made
common cause with the garrison. The principal assas-
sins were apprehended. Their chief, PAKOILO, was con-
demned to death and executed. The others were trans-
ported. Tranquillity had not been since disturbed. The
sanitary state and situation of the establishments at
Taioahe and Vaitahu were satisfactory. The same official
journal contradicts the report that had appeared in some
of the papers stating that Admiral CSCILLE had taken
possession of Bassilan, one of the Philippine islands.
"The Constitutional," it says, " announced yesterday
that Admiral CF.CILLE, having occupied the, island of
Bassilan, according to instructions received from his
Government, had been disavowed. These assertions are
erroneous. At no time did the Government give orders
to occupy Bassilan, and Admiral CECILLE never took
possession of this island." The other intelligence in the
Paris papers is without interest if we except the accounts
of the harvest from the provinces, which on the whole
are favourable. The fine weather which has prevailed
for some time had enabled the farmers to secure a great
proportion of the crops in the north of France, which
are said to be abundant and fully equal to those of last
year.

The Royal Family were expected at St. Cloud from
Eu in the course of the week. Nothing was done in the
French Funds on Sunday.

SUICIDE INDUCED BY EXCESSIVE STUDY.—An
inquest was held on Monday, at the King's Head, Canterbury-
street, York-road, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr.
William Alfred Barker, aged twenty-three, late editor of a
Nottingham newspaper. Mr. W. A. Barker, also the editor
of a provincial newspaper, said that the deceased was his ion,
and about three weeks ago came to hie (witness's) residence
la Howley-street, York-road, to proceed from thence to
Southampton, for the benefit of his health. He returned
in three or four days completely altered. His memory was
entirely gone, and he was unable to exercise his mental facul-
ties. On Saturday last witness intended to obtain a certificate
as to the state of his mind, in order to place him under re-
straint, and went out telling the deceased to follow him, and
meet him on Waterloo-bridge, bat after waiting a consider-
able time he became alarmed at his long absence, and
returned. He then searched all the rooms in the house for
him, and afterwards descended to the coal-cellar, where
he found him suspended by the neck by means of a rope
fastened to the iron grating, and his hands tied tightly
behind him. Witness immediately cut him down and sent
for surgical assistance, but if deceased was not already dead he
died in a few seconds. Witness believed the deranged state of
his mind to have been occasioned by illness brought on by ex-
cessive study. About fifteen months ago, when in London, he
used to devote so much of his mind to study, that he deprived
himself of necessary food and repose. He had made a pre-
vious attempt upon his life. *fr. J. E. Stalilsmidts, the editor
of a weekly journal, having corroborated the previous evidence
relative to the state of mind of the deceased, the jury returned
a verdict—" That the deceased committed suicide whilst in an
unsound state of mind."
WESLEYAN METHODISTS AND MATRIMONT....-At

the late conference the Wesleyan Methodists resolved not to

adroit to the Theological Institution any married student, or
any person under engagement of marriage. The reason
assigned for this prohibition is, that young men so circum.
stanced eagerly snatch at any means of :getting a livelihood.
At the same conference the Methodists determined for the first
time to avail themselves of the New Marriage Act, and to have
their marriages celebrated by their own ministers in their
chapels.
ACCIDENTS ON' THE LANCASHIRE AND CARLISLE
RAILWAY.—On Wednesday last a dreadful accident occurred
on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway line, at the cutting
through a large bill upon the Shap Fells, Westmoreland. A
portion of the rock had been charged with gunpowder, for the
purpose of blasting, when, from seme cause or other, the charge
would not explode, and two of the workmen returned to it and
commenced drilling the stone, to draw out the powder. In
doing this they had unfortunately neglected to pour into the
hole a sufficient quantity of water to keep the stone moist, and

:he consegieac• Was thit the jumper became heated from the

friction, and ignited the powder. 'One of the poor fellewsw;
blown into the air a height of thirty or forty feet, and came
down upon a heap of stones ; after which he rolled into a gullet
twelve feet in depth ; and the other, by the force of the blast,
was driven to a considerable distance. 'The unfortunate men
did net exhibit any signs of life trail medical assistance was ob-
tained, when they partly revived. The injuries, however, are
of such a description that there is not the leapt possible change
of their recovery.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A STEAMER.—On Sun-
day morning the Erith, a Gravesend and Erith steamer, Cap-
tain Warren, left Hungerford-marks t with • large number of
persons. When opposite the Ferry House, the larboard paddle •
wheel suddenly broke, tearing up the boards on the top of the
paddle-box. Mr. Langton, one of the proprieto a of the vessel,
and, another gentleman, who were standing on the paddle•box
had a narrow escal e, being precipitated into the paddle-box,
but fortunately they clung to the railing that surrounds the
paddle-box. The alarm of the numerous passengers was great,
and the screams of the females were distinctly heard at the
piers at Woolwich. To make the matter worse, the Emerald,
Gravesend steamer, belonging to the Diamond Company,
which was close astern of the Erith, in coming alongside to
render assistance, came with some force against the Erith, re-
newing the alarm of the passengers. Some of them were em-
barked on board the Emerald ; others were taken off in the
watermen's boats, which crowded round as soon as the acci-
dent was known. A few remained on board the Erith, which
was towed to the Watermen's Pier by the steamer Waterman,
No. 4, where the proprietor of the vessel, Mr. Langton, re-
turned them their fares. Fortunately ne person was injured.
DEVONPORT, AUG. 30.—The port of Devonport,
after a long struggle, has obtained the grant of sufferance
quays, which has passed the Lords of the Treasury. Formerly
all foreign goods had to be landed at Plymouth, where the
Custom-house is situated, but these may now be unloaded at
Devonpert, and delivered to the consignees. The circum-
stance is looked upon by the inhabitants of the latter borough
as of great importance to its commercial progress.

A FEMALE FOUND DROWNED.—On Monday morn-
ing, about half -past six o'clock, the body of a female, appa-
rently about nineteen to twenty years of age, was discovered
by two labourers lying in the City Canal, just opposite Raw-
ling', wharf, St. Pancras.. The body, from its general appear-
ance, must have lain in the water for some length of time.
The body has not yet been recognised.
CAUTION TO REAPSIIS.—Mr. Williams, of Crin-
dau, a few days since, employed some reapers to cut wheat,
and found, at the beginning of their work, that they were good
hands at the sickle. When, however, after some interval, he

OAXE GOTHA, Aua. 29.—The royal party left Rein-

yesterday Gotha, where great preparations had been made
to welcome them. Coburg is situate in the midst of a

It is more a seat of manefeteret and commercial
industry. The leeptilition is greater by some 5,000
or 6,00 t persons. There is, too, a sort of middle
class here, which you di not find at Coburg, at
least not to the same extent. But it is et stated
periods the residence of the tIC tithe s of the reign-
ing family. Thera are no less than four or five palaces ;
but here they are in the town, while at Coburg they
are situated at different points in the neighbourhood
favourable for commanding the euperior scenery with
which it abounds. The largest palace is the Friedrich-
stein, an immense pile of building, irregular, and with
no pretensions to architecturalsymmetry, but surmounted
by two enormous mosque-like towers, which ale promi-
nent objects for miles around: There is another palace,
called Friedrichethel, much smaller, and facing the other.
A very beautiful garden, or, more properly speaking,
a richly wooded park, interspersed with lawns and
flow( r beds, surrounds the former. Like all other places
of the kind in this part of the country, it is not shut in
with jealous care from the public. There are no gates,
fences, or sentries to exclude them ; but all are free to
come and go as they will. An open carriage-road, in
fact, runs through the most carefully preserved parts of
the grounds. There is also a magnificent orangery.
One or two smaller palaces are also in Gotha, occupied
et intervals by different members of the Ducal family.
The widow of the late Duke, and of the preceding one,
have each a residence in these palaces.
The city itself is larger than Coburg, but similar in
its general construction. The houses in the chief streets
are on a very large scale, and the main streets them-
selves are much broader than is usual in continental
towns of the same antiquity. The market-place, which
is laid out on a rather steep declivity, is a particularly
fine one. There is a handsome theatre and a museum;
and there are other public buildings which will bear
competition with those in cities of much larger size and
greater pretensions.
The preparations made to welcome the Queen and
Prince Albert were very general throughout the town.
Almost every house was festooned or garlanded, and
that in a very tasteful way. That they were not similar
to those at Coburg seemed to show that they were
in both places spontaneous offerings of welcome,
and not suggested by the authorities. At the
entrance of the city, from the side of Reinhardtsbrunn
a very elegant triumphal arch was erected, and
the long street leading from this point to the
palace in which the Queen was to take up her abode,
was one long avenue of festoons and garlands sus
pended across the road from the lines of trees on each
side of the way. The street was lined by a body of the
gensurmes.
As the hour at which the royal party were expected
came on, the population of Gothaand the neighbourhood
began to throng the streets in multitudes. It was sur-
prising how so comparatively small a place could yield
so many people ; but, in fact, it was a general holiday,
and every man, woman, and child carne eut to see the
sight. And a most picturesque croed they made. The
peasant girls from the surrounding vi;lages, many
of . them beauties of which any country might
be proud, intermingled in the throng with
their antique and picturesque costumes, long since
abandoned in the towns, but clung to by the villagers
with rustic tenacity. We have nothing in our cowl-
' try like their bead-dresses, but they are certainly more
quaint and elaborate than graceful. The head is sur-
mounted by a tower of black velvet, silk, or stuff, ac-
cording to the taste or means of the wearer, which is
shaped like an infantry soldier's cap. This again is
covered with short sable plumage slightly curled ; and
from the top falls a shower of long black silk ribands
reaching below the waist. A. dozen or two of these
women walking together reminded one of the top of a
hearse. Others of the peasant women wore less ambi-
tious coiffures; but then they had large cloaks of various
colours thrown over the left shoulder after the Spanish
wore very characteristic
fashion. The men, too,
dresses. Some stalked slang in lock black coats, like
priests' soutans, and boots fitting tight to the leg up to
the knee. The costume of the miners, too, was very
peculiar.
These odd costumes mingling in the throng, with the
uniforms of the soldiery, huntsmen, postilions, and
others who were there, produced a very pretty effect ;
nor were the gay colours in which the city damsels
decked themselves without their use in keeping up the
ever-changing variety. The great centre of attraction,
and where the throng of people was most constant,
was the triumphal arch already described. Here the
chief municipal authorities of Gotha were assembled in
a sort of tribune to receive the royal visitors on their
arrival within the boundary of the city.
Shortly before six o'clock a succession of salutes an-
nounced the approach of the royal co, tege, and a band,
stationed opposite the arch, struck up the National An-
them in very good style. In a few minutes the head
of the procession—fur a procession it was, and a
very fine one—was seen moving among the living
mass that crowded the road. First came a large
body of the municipal police on horseback. They are
a half military body, and have a very soldierly appear-
ance. Then came, also on horseback, the burgher
guard, not quite so soldierlike. Next, a party of the
mounted gendsarmes, and after them a band of the pos-
tilions in their gay dresses. A body of some 200 or
300 citizens and gentlemen of the town, excellently
mounted, followed, and then the Duke's chasseurs, all in
uniforms of green and gold. After these came the
Queen's carriage, containing, besides her Majesty, the
King and Queen of the Belgians and Prince Albert. The
Duke of Saxe Coburg rode on horseback by the carriage
from Reinhardtsbrunn. Two other carriages, with the
suite, closed the procession. When the:Queen's carriage
came opposite the tribune, the chief magistrate stepped
forward and delivered a speech, of which the following is
a translation :
" Happy in the consciousness of the presence of your
Majesty in our city, we lay our humblest and most heart-
felt devotions at the feet of the Sovereign of the great
British empire. Happy we are that the kind and natural
sympathies of the mother and the wife have never lost
their intensity amidst the splendours of the greatest
throne in the world. To those sympathies we are in-
debted for the incomparable satisfaction we feel en this
occasion. Welcome to the home 01 a beloved Prince of
our House. Welcotne as his consort, 0 mightie t, and
at the same time most amiable of Queens f Little are
we able to convey to your Majesty our unfeigned deep-
felt joy at welcoming such illustrious guests to our uu
pretending town. Still, however far we could have
carried the outward sh' wing of our attachment, it never
could have equalled our desire to offer homage and best
love to Victoria Queen of Britain !"
Her Majesty bowed very graciously, and the co, lege
then passed on, amidst deafening cheers from the
people, to the palace of the Duchess of Saxe Coburg,
where they arc to stay. Crowds of people lined the
Way, and filled the area opposite the palace. After
alighting, her Majeety came forward and bowed re-
peatedly to the people. Altogether this reception at
Gotha was as good as any the Queen has met with on
her various journeys, and exactly the same in form as
most of them.
There are to be several grand displays here during

prosecution of the timber
judge by the following communication from the outport, in
which also are contained some interesting particulars rela-
tive to the general state of the market :—Since the 18th
instant, the arrivals have been limited, say only six vessels,
3,470 tons, And the sales, in like manner, limited to a few
cargoes, the attention of all parties being turned to the re-
moval from the quay of the timber which had been heaped
on it in the utmost confusion. The relaxation of the pressure
in the discharging for the last few days, has enabled the quays
to be somewhat relieved, and it is hoped that the dock
Committee will take the present opportunity, in compliance
with the application of the majority of the importers and
timber-merchants, of making such arrangements as will pre-
vent a recurrence of such a state of things as has been expe-
rienced during the last four weeks, and which has caused a
great loss of property, severe loss by fines, and a greater de-
clension in the market than, under other circumstances,
would have taken place. This confusion is attributable
to the following causes, .—The discharging
without being confined to a specified berth or space ; the
working of sufferance from daylight to dark, without also
applying an equal amount of force to remove the timber so
discharged, and the mixing of cargoes with each other, which
renders the identification of timber very difficult, prevents
its being effectually worked at ; and as the present system
obliges the work to be carried on throughout the night (which
is contrary to reason and the usage of any other trade) fraud is
very much facilitated, and at such time many logs
are stolen off the quay. If, however, the request of the im-
porters and timber merchants be acted on, a remedy may be
applied, as far as the present system will admit of ; the im-
porter will be able to identify his propert,y, the buyer will
have the opportunity of seeing it connectedly, and
removing it effectively ; the custom-house officer will be
facilitated in his duty, and the ship in future will always have
a defined place to be discharging into, without encroaching
on another's berth, and throwing all into confusion. At the
present moment the quays are covered with timber, dis-
charged oat of ships which are more than a week at sea,
much of it not yet measured by the Customs.
When the quays are thus regulated, a steadier market and
better prices will be the consequence.
From the great delay the ships have experienced on
tea other side, joined to long passages home, the num-
ber of. second voyage ships is much less than usual : and this
market Will probably not have the overwhelming import from

STATE Or TRADE.—The woollen trade of Glou-
cestershire has not been so flourishing fort number of years as
it has been of late, and is at the present time; and the abundant
promise of fruits of the earth will tend to continue this happy
state of revived prosperity. A Forest of Dean Correspondent
informs us that" the coal trade is very brisk in the forest, not
an able-bodied man being out of work, and the prospect of next
winter is that coal will not be had for money, to furnish a supply
for the demand."— Gloucester Journal.
IMPROVEMENTS, &C., or PUBLIC EDIFICES.—
Workmen are at present engaged in painting the outer iron
gallery at the top of the cupola of St. Paul's Cathedral ; it is
done in stone colour, and has a very good effect. At the
British Museum work men are employed in levelling the dead
wall and antique gateway, dm. to throw the front open.
NARRow ESCAPE.—On Sunday evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, as a lady and gentleman were driving
along Ray-street, Clerkenwell, in their gig, the horse suddenly
stumbled and fell, ansl both the lady and gentleman were thrown
out with sor,siderable force to the ground. The female,
from the suddenness of the shock, was precipitated clean over
the horse's head to the atones in the road, but most extra-
ordinarily and fortunately sustained no apparent injury. She
had barely time to rise, when the horse ( which was a high-
spirited one) kicked and plunged about violently, and it was
with the greatest difficulty on the part of some persons who
promptly rendered their assistance, that the animal was pre-
vented from doing serious damage ; as it was, the shafts of the
gig were broken off, and the gig otherwise damaged. It was a
most fortunate escape for the occupants of the gig, as it was the
greatest wonder they were not loth killed in eon/mimeo of
the sudden manner they were thrown art of the gig.
