FLOATING BREAKWATER NEAR BRIGHTON.

Captain Taylor has addressed a letter to the Committee of
Lloyd's, contradicting the statement of a shipowner at Hove,
that the breakwater near that place was in an unsafe state
in consequence of the late Fales having torn off portions
of the timber, &c. Captain 'laylor mentions that the light
exhibited on the breakwater is at his own expense.

A young woman, named Anne Dangerfield, met a
shocking death, while picking stone at the new works near
Ketley, by the earth sinking, and she falling in, her body was
almost instantly covered by the loose earth. Although as-
sistance was promptly at hand, upwards of an hour elapsed
before the body was recovered, when life was quite extinct.
The falling in of the earth was occasioned by a part of a
mine which had been exhausted not having been propped up
by the colliers.—Shrewshury Chronicle.
NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERY. The Banchory,
Mowatt, master, arrived here, from the cod fishery, on Fri-
day, the 19th instant, with a cargo of 25,000 fish. We
understand she would have been a full ship, had it not
been for the interference of the Danish fishermen, who
have a settlement close to Newfoundland. It is to be
hoped that Government will put a stop to this intru-
sion, and compel the Danes, as they do the French, to keep
within their own limits. This branch of trade promises to
be a lucrative one to enterprising adventurers from our north-
ern ports, and a little more viilauce on the part of the
cruiser on the banks is advisable in every respect.--Aberdeen
Herald.

THE ABERDEEN RAILWAY.—Our readers will be
glad to learn that several large contracts for the earth and
mJson work of the Aberdeen Railway were entered into yes-
terday.—Aberdeen Herald of Saturday.
THE WEATREE.—Since Sunday last the weather
has been beautifully fine, dry and bracing during the day,
with slight frosts at night, and is consequently most favour-
able for those who have not yet succeeded in getting in their
crops. The change has taken place at a most critical time,
for a continuance of last week's wet would assuredly have
placed in jeopardy a large portion of the crops in the less ad-
vanced districts. All danger however is, we would hope, now
at an end.—Cork Examiner.

[ADVERTISEMBINT.I3—AN EXTRAORDINARY RETURN
OF HEALTH IN A Piny [ADVERTISEMENT.]
BY THE USE OF HOLLOWAY'S
PILLS.—The patient having previonaly been in an illwitate for
six years, Mr. Benjamin Hawkins, employed in the ironworks,
and well known at the Crown and Cushion, High Bullen, Wed..
nesbury, Staffordshire, had, to use his own phrafe, been a sad
afflicted creature, and that no one but God and himself knew
what he suffered from aches and pains in all his joints and shins,
likewise from a disordered liver and stomach, with scarcely
strength sufficient to keep about ! Here again. have Holloway's
Pills restored to health an individual labouring under the most
complicated diseases.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1845.

In the Foreign Quarterly kview for the present month,
which contains an article extending to thirty-one pages, on
the French Campaign of 1813 in Germany, we find these
words :—"NAroLEox, measured by the highest standard, was
great only as a soldier. A great man certainly we cannot
call him, who in the very outset of his career, in the Venetian
business, acted in direct contradiction, or rather in lordly
despite of those laws of truth and justice, the capacity to re-
cognise which distinguishes man from the brute, far
more certainly than any superiority of merely intel-
lectual endowment ; and a great king, or ruler, he
never could be,, who in endeavouring to influence
human beings never appealed to any positive passion more
noble than vanity, and whose chief reliance was on the purely
negative affection Of fear." Notwithstanding some strong
proofs furnished by:Colonel MiTclumr, that BONAPARTE was
not quite the great man he has been usually represented, and
the glaring faults he had committed in several important
battles, evident to men of the most common understanding,
such a partial and unjust character of one of the most re-
markable—we may say the most remarkable—man, not of
the age, but of the last thousand years, we did not expect to
find in a periodical entitled to great weight for its general
ability and impartiality. The writer scarcely ventures to
assert that he was not a great captain, for that would be
instantly disproved by the most palpable facts—facts not
adynitted only by Frenehelett, but the universal voice' of
mankind; but, *line cautious on that point, he endeavours to

THE GREAT ADVANTAGES

Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro-
jects into Manchester, among oth-rs, are—
First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made
in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.
Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests.

Fourth. That it passes through a District rich In manufactures,
agriculture. and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the
large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to-
tally without railway communication.

Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of
avoiding them.
Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
will be completed and in working order within ten months from the
passing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the
parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the
Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty
days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the ex
tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Bir-
mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the
Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company of 1,000
shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000
shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

A BOY CONVICTED FOR STEALING WALNUTS.-At
Rochester petty sessions, on Thursday, a little boy, named
James Thelburr, was convicted of having knocked down some
walnuts from a tree, the property of Sir John Marshall, and
was fined is. 6d., being three times the value of the walnuts,
and 13s. 6d. costs. In default of payment he was ordered to
be committed to prison for 14 days, though his mother, a
a poor widow, with a large family, was allowed a month to
make up the money if she could.

SWALLOWING PINS IN A FRIGHT. Yesterday
morning, about twelve o'clock, a young woman, named Sarah
Young, residing in Castle-street, Oxford-market, being sud-
denly startled by the report of a pistol, swallowed a quantity
of pins that she had in her mouth at the time. Several of
them fixed in her throat and threatened to suffocate her, but
Mr. Mottles, a surgeon, was promptly in attendance and suc-
ceeded in removing three of the pins. It is supposed, how-
ever, that some were swallowed.

MARKET NEWS --(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY,
The arrivals of English Wheat fresh an Mine Monday
coastwise, have been moderately good. By land-carriage,
and sample, however, they have proved limited. On the
whole, the stands were fairly supplied, yet the demand arising
from the attendance of buyers, being tolerably numerous, was
steady, and previous rates were supported in every instance. We
had very few samples of fine Foreign Wheat on show. Selected
qualities were in steady request at full prices. In other kinds,
exceedingly little was doing. From abroad scarcely any
orders have been received this week for the purchase of corn
under lock; hence the demand ruled inactive, at about late
rates. The best Grinding Barley was in fair request, but all
other kinds were a slow inquiry. In Malt very little was
doing, at late rates. Foreivn Oats were a slow sale, and
rather cheaper. In English and Irish a fair business was
doing. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear.

BODY FOUND IN Mg RlVER.—Yesterday Mr.
Baker held an inquest at the Queen's Head, Poplar, on the
body of a man, name unknown, but evidently a foreign sea-
man. The body was found on Sunday floating in the water
off the St. Katharine Docks, and appeared to have been im-
mersed for a considerable time. Deceased must have been
about thirty years of age; was dressed in canvass trousers
and blue striped Guernsey shirt, had black hair and large
whiskers, and the sign of the cross tattooed on his arm. Ver-
dict, " Found drowned."

JUDGES TN TILE ITNITED KINGDOM.—There are
363 judges in the United Kingdom, whose salaries amount to
402,0321 a year. England has 145, Ireland 124, and Scotland
94. The salaries in England are 208,9761.; in Ireland,
116,0861.; and in Scotland, 76,9701.
Lord Stanley is at present staying at Knowsley,
where, notwithstanding his late attack of the gout, he is
partaking of the sports of the field with lii3 usual spirit.
Hop INTELLIGENCE.—The accounts from the hop
districts are generally unfavourable, the bops being small and
few, and the picking thus rendered dilatory and troublesome.
The principal exception to the unfavourable reports is the
district of Rye, in which the average weight of the hops is
represented to be good. In all quarters there are complaints
of the scarcity of hands, and many hops, it is thought, will
not be picked owing to the want of pickers.

THE JEWS.

Mr. AanuRST moved that the Court should petition Parlia-
ment to extend the relief given by the Ist and 2d Victoria, c.
5 and 15, by which Quakers, Moravians, and Separatists were
enabled to make affirmations consistent with their religious
persuasions, to all her Majesty's subjects.
'I he motion was seconded by Mr. Deputy Sxxvicsis, and,
after a short discussion, agreed to unanimously.
Sheriff SIDNEY presented a petition from the Committee
of the Society for the Cure of Consumption and Diseases of
the Chest, for a grant in aid of the funds. He ably supported
the prayer of the petition, and stated that the hospital, although
a very new institution, had already relieved 2,1-00 cases.
Mr. Bowl% seconded the motion that the petition be re-
ferred to the Coal, Corn, and Fnance Committee.
After a few observations from Sir PET RA LAUEEZ and
Deputy CORNET% the motion was agreed to.
BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.

Alderman JOHNSON presented a petition from the Corn..
mittee for creating and promoting the establishment of baths
and wash-houles for the labouring classes to treat for the pur-
chase or renting of part of Farringdon-market, for the first
model establishment. After some discussion the motion was
negatived. Adjourned.

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.
Mr. G. W. HOPE said that several charges against his
Noble Friend at the head of the Colonial-office had been made
in and out of that House, accusing that Noble Lord of a
breach of faith. The Government had not had as yet
any opportunity for vindication, for, on a previous occasion,
when the subject was brought under their notice, it
was done in such a manner that though the
Government were indirectly accused they could not
enter into their defence. He had been informed that a peti-
tion was in course of preparation, and that several merchants
in the City had been solicited to sign it. These
petitions imputed to the Noble Lard misconduct, and
breach of faith in relation to his conduct
towards the New Zealand Company. He felt sure the
House would agree with him that it was only the
fair play which an Englishman had a right
to expect, that when a charge was brought
against him he should have a full opportunity of answering it on the
earliest opportunity. He should therefore bring forward a
motion on Tuelday next, giving the New Zealand Company an

FLIGHT OF SEA-GULLS.—Thursday afternoon some
curiosity was excited in consequence of art unusual flight of
sea-gulls, of the largest size, hovering near Bankside. A
Mr. Johnson, of Bankside, succeeded in shooting one of them,
when, under the wing was discovered a small bit of paper,
with the words, " From Dagenham, in Essex, 1831." It is
pretty evident from the flight of these birds to London that
the weather must be very severe below bridge.
GIVING GIN TO INFANTS.—At a Coroner's inquest
held on Thursday before Mr. Higgs, on the body of a child aged three
months, it was stated that the mother of the infant, a young woman
who sings at public-house concerts, had been often observed to give
it gin, she being herself in a state of intoxication. Mr. Leonard,
surgeon, stated that spirits to an infant are as poisonous as arsenic
to an adult ; and that upwards of a thousand children annually
lose their lives from that cause and the neglect of drunken parents
combined.
