SOUTH WARliz—Vr tilS DAY.)
Two men, mined Lander and Street, were charged with
coUlrAttffig assault on a Mr. William Jarovis, on the occa-
br a wedding.
The complainant stated that op. the flietieding day his son
was married, otv 'On+. itV.Siint a great number of people
assenablath tne rougk music" was set going. He (corn-
)katialit) went to the public-house to order the supper beets;
and while at the bar the two defendants came Up; and asked.
him what he would " stand." ..Ile gave aii eVaSiVe ah War;
and went home. And When ha gut mu the dour he round the
ffilleWed hiini and they cornitiehted 'ringing anti
ktiCkking at the doer With great violence. He desired theni
te desist; but they refused, and ultimately struck him. A
scene of,rildt and confusion ensued, which billy was put an end
td by the police interfering, and taking the defendants into
Custody.

Mr. Corrnccamtt laid he regretted to hear that such a
practice t beating tin pots,and kettles at a 'wedding still
leaving
in the metropolis' of a civilised. COUlAry ; and that it
having been proved the defentlltlitswere prominent inthedis-
graceful affair, and Mil assaulted the complainant, he should
therefore adjtiilge them to find two sureties of 101. each; and
enter into their own recognisances in 20/., to keep the -peace
and be of good behaviour for six months.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Da+tie" Lonnor, a drover,-was charged with beating and
Wbiiiiding police-constable 238. G, so as to do him grievous
bodily harm.

The constable deposed that the prisoner was sitting in the
middle of the pavement, on the previous night, near Smith-
field, He was just recovering from a fit of intoxication, and
Witness, fearing he would be run over, or trampled upon, and
seeing that he obstructed the pavement, told him to get
up. He took no notice of the command, but remained in the
same position. Witness then seized him for the purpose of
raising him, when the prisoner turned upon him, knocked
him into the kennel, and rolled him there until his dress was
completekr Saturated with filth. At last he got upon
his legs, but the prisoner again got him down, and
kicked him on the head with all his force. Wit-
ness, seeing that the prisoner was resolved upon murdering
him, by a desperate struggle got him underhim ; the prisoner
clung to him like a bulldog,.and seizing the fleshy part of his
leg between his teeth, pierced the thick trousers and strong
hoots until he made the teeth almost meet in the flesh. Wit-
ness, by a well-directed blow, obliged him to relinquish his
hold, but he seized his wrist in his mouth and inflicted a
severe wound upon it. At length assistance arrived, and he
Was secured.
Police-sergeant Cottam, 10 G, said, in all his life, be never
saw any one in so shocking a condition as the constable, the
blood was streaming from his face, his clothes were saturated
with filth, and he was scarcely able to stand erect from the
injuries he had received.
The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment
in the House of Correction, without the power of releasing
himself by the payment of a fine.

REGISTRATION COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
T m
he Court resumed its Inquiry this morning at ten o'clock,
when the list of LiVerymen was entered upon.
The first ease on which any discussion arose was that of
Marriott, described in the overseers' list as residing on
Ludgate-hill. It was objected to him that this was not his
proper residence, as he had removed to Upper Albany-street,
Regent's Park. It was maintained on the other side that
this did not affect his right to vote as .a Liveryman.
The REVISING BARRISTER said, as it was a point of im-
portance, ho would take time to consider his decision.
The next point of importance raised was in the case of
Edward Brown, a member of the Bakers' Company. It was
Objected to him that his freedom had been taken up since
1831, and therefore, according to the intention of the Reform
Act, his name was not entitled to be on the register.
After considerable argiuneut, as the decision would affect
several hundred votes, it was agreed that a case should be
selected, to be fully argued on Friday next.

SuGAn.—The marketCO
foMr British Plantation is firm, and
fully previous prices have been obtained for the quantity sold,
but only a limited business has been done privately. About
750 casks have been disposed of, inclusive of those brought to
auction. The public sales have consisted principally of 100
casks Barbadoes, 180 casks Berbice, 7,642 bags Mau-
ritius, 1,132 bags Bengal, 430 boxes white Havannah.
Nearly all the East and West India found buyers
and went off with spirit at fully previous prices, and
in some instances rather dearer for the brown descriptions
of Mauritius, of which the parcel chiefly consisted, and being
mostly in small lots no accurate quotations can be given.
All the Havannah was withdrawn much above the value,
viz., at 40s to 41s 6d fur very low to mid greyish white, but
of fair quality. The only transaction which has transpired
privately worth reporting consists of a small cargo of yellow
Havannah, which has been sold afloat at 30s 6d,
deliverable at a near port on the Continent ;
and for a large cargo . (also afloat) of this descrip-
tions, containing 2,700 boxes, of good quality, 31s 6d

ERRATUM,—In our report of the proceedings in
the Finsbury- Registration Court, it was stated that an indi-
vidual named Watts had claimed to vote as a lodger, and that
his claim was allowed. It should have been " the claim was
disallowed," and on the authority, as stated by Mr. Moylan,
the Revising Barrister, of the Court of Common Pleas, which,
in last Hilary Term, decided that a lodger has no right to be
regktered.

...WALKING MATCH.—Mountjoy's great match of
walking fifty miles in thirteen hours, twenty miles back-
wards, for six successive days, commenced yesterday, at six
o'clock. There could not be a more unfavourable day, the
rain pouring heavily ; but not at all daunted, the pedestrian
pursued his course, and accomplished the ten miles in the fol-
lowing time :---First ten miles in one hour and fifty minutes,
the second ten miles in one hour and fifty-eight minutes.
The walking backwards the first ten miles was completed in
two- hours and three-quarters, -the second ten miles back-
wards in two hours and fifty- eight minutes. The fifty
hurdles were afterwards leaped by Mountjoy in less than the
specified time, ten minutes. He resumes this day at half-
past five A.nr2 from the Red Cow Tavern, Dalston.
NAVAL RETINEMENT.—We • understand that the
senior commanders at the naval pits, and in the metropolis,
are preparing a memorial to the Right Hon. the Earl of Had-
dington, soliciting of his Lordship thd recognition of the jus-
tice and expediency of applying to them the same principle
of retirement which has been recently bestowed on the
veteran post captains.

ACCIDENT AT THE VICTORIA THEATRE.—An ac-
cident occurred last night, at the Victoria Theatre, of rather
a serious nature. It appears that while an actor, of the name
of Harris, was waiting for his cue at one of the wings, a
musket in the hands of a. supernumerary accidentally went off,
the wadding striking Harris's eye. He was immediately
conveyed to the shop of a surgeon in the neighbourhood, and
ultimately to Charing-cross Hospital, where he now lies in a
very precarious state. It is feared that the sight of the eye
is entirely gone.
SHOWER OF DUST IN ORKNEY.—A friend just
returned from Orkney acquaints us of the following interest-
ing fact :—On the night betwixt the 2d and 3d September,
current, the wind blowing freely from the N.W., there fell
upon the whole mainland of Orkney a shower of fine impal-
pable dust, evidently of volcanic origin. The dust fell in
such quantities as to cover the whole island, and admit of
being easily gathered. It is presumed to have been caused
by an eruption of Mount Hecla in Iceland, as asimilar pheno-
menon which occurred many years ago was ascertained to
have proceeded from that cause. We have seen a quantity
of the dust, which exactly resembles finely ground pumice
stone.—Dunclee Warder.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN TIPPERARY.—
William Beamish, Esq., Beaumont, near Cork, paid his an-
nual visit this week to his estate in the neighbournood of Bor-
risoleigh. He personally visited each cottage and farm house
—inquired into the wants and wishes of the tenants, and
readily supplied them by the exhibition of a • princely gene-
rosity. lie awarded the usual premiums to the neatest cot-
tages and most cleanly farm yards, and directed his agent to
employ drainers at his own expense, and to provide timber
and slates for all the tenants who chose to build walls suffi-
cient to support the same. A widow who,e lands had been
subdivided between two sons, got an annuity of 101. for' life,
and some tenants who had been evicted formerly were re-
stored. In the same neighbourhood, there is a landlord who
seldom if ever stirs abroad without being armed to the teeth,
and accompanied by a few policemen I If Tipperary bad all
such landlords as Mr. Beamish, there would be no crime, and
no need of policemen.—Tipperary Vindicator.
ADMIRALTY STORES.--The contract for the supply
of cocoa for the use of the Admiralty department has been
accepted by the following parties, viz. :—Mr. A. De Arroyave,
for 52 tons, including 3 tons for screenings ; and Mr. J. Um-
phelby, for 43 tons, including 3 tons also for screenings; and
the Lords Commissioners' of her Majesty's Treasury have
given instructions for the revenue authorities to permit the
same to be removed from the bonded warehouses of the Lon-
don, St. Katharine, and West India Docks, and deposited
among the stores in her Majesty's victualling-yard at Dept-
ford. free of duty, aggreeably. to the terms of the contract
entered into with the Admiralty by them.
DISEASE AMONGST FISH.—A disease has attacked
the pike and eels in the river Barrow, during the present season, both
being frequently faund in a dying state on the surface of the water.
The pike seem emaciated, and the Inside of the mouth presents a
fungus ulceration, covering the teeth; palate, and tongue, and when
the body is opened the stomach Is filled with a green slimy substance.:
Eels are seen with little apparent life for a day or so, and afterwards
dead in shoal water (the place where all wounded or sick fish swim
to); the under part of the body, from. the mouth to the tail, is
speckled with blood-red spots, and the mouth is sometimes full of
coagulated blood : however, the fish does not seem to be in bad con-
dition, or to have suffered so long as the pike. The same kinds of
fish in the canal about Monastersvan have also suffered from the
same malady.—Leinster Express.
A. PATRIARCH.—John Matthews, aged 114, re:
siding in the parish of -Llandilo Talybout, together with his
daughter, applied for relief, for the first time, at a meeting of
our Board of Guardians, held yesterday. He was formerly a
farmer and cattle-drover, but for the last thirty years had
been supported by his children. An order was made for 6e.
a week.--Cambrian.

• from the Blitisii NOftli itteritail ColOitie§ that 'Very warm
Interest is felt attiohg all classes for th6-rtipid hittension of the
railway system througlMut the dependencies of the Crown ill
that direction; It has -been already stated that a company
hits been formed for tninitriictitig a rallwav In the upper pro-
vinces, and an extension of the plan has'been received ivith
great attention by the colonists to communicate with Halifax,
and progressively to forma line westwardly to the Pacific
Ocean. WO are given to understand that the Go-
Vertiors . of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the
other colonial authorities, are warmly interested in this most
beneficial project. On the proposed • line there is every
facility for executing the works upon a most economical
scale. The advantage to the colonies themselves cannot be
at present duly estimated. The advantages. of railway com-
munication, as compared with canal conveyance, is admitted
on all bands, and agreat deal of anxiety was expressed as to
the amount of success which would attend the plan when
developed to British:capitalists, as from them a considerable
portion of the necessary funds would, in the first instance, be
required.
It appears by the Royal Gazette, of New Brunswick, that
there had been a considerable improvement in the re-
venue of the cOlony, which had been augmented in the first
six months of this year by 15,8001., as compared with the
returns of the corresponding period of 1844.
The accounts from New York state that the stream of
emigration had set in there for the season with increased
activity within 24 hours there had been reported not less
than 2,687 steerage passengers, of which 1,755 were from the
United Kingdom. Including the arrivals of the two previous
days, more than 3.000 persons had landed.. A letter from
Albany says,-"‘ This is a great country, but how long will it
take to fill it up at this rate? The arrival of 1,500 settlers
a day at 'New York, and as many more at the other
Sports of
the United States and Canada, will enormously increase
Uncle Sam's interesting and miscellaneous family.

PIRATES OFF SKYROS. •
_

A letter, received at their agent at Salonica-, Of the
27th of August last, mentions a report of pirates having been met
with in that neighbourhood. A vessel of the country had been
boarded and plundered off Skyros of provisions and effects. The
Turkish Vite-admiral, Hassan Pasha, had gone in search of them.
The pirate vessels are said to be four in number.

ARRIVAL of the GREAT BRITAIN.
Littnroot, SENT. 15.—The Great Britain arrived tnis
morning, shortly befortfht o'clock • her intelligence has,
' however been anticipated by the arrival of the Hibernia.
Captain Hosken reports very satisfactorily of the po.wers• of
the sersw, and of the ship's machinery. During the whole
passage the engines have never been stopped, but have worked
with the greatest possible regularity. The reason of the pas-
sage being of somewhat longer duration than was expected
is the difficulty of keeping a sufficient supply of steam. This
difficulty her commander and engineer are, however, fully
confident of overcoming in her future voyages. Capin
Hosken sailed from New York on the afternoon of the 30th,
and at 7 P.M. of that day- the pilot left her. On her passage
she has experienced ;very little westerly wind, and one day,
in a fine breeze, the'ship made 298 miles, from'noon to noon.
It appears that during the whole voyage the vessel was
' never worked at a greater pressure than 600 horse power,
although her engines are of 1,000 horse power. The natural
consequence of this was, that instead of making, as it is cal-
culated she can, seventeen and a half revolutions per minute,
she averaged but thirteen. This is stated to arise from an
insufficiency of the furnaces and boilers, which are both too
small.
The following table shows' the degrees the vessel mada
and the degrees run in each 24 hours :

Saturday Morning, Sept. 13, made land.
The vibration so generally complained of in paddle-wheel
steamers is scarcely felt in the Great Britain, even at the
sternmost part of the vessel, and midships, and at the fore, it
is not at all perceptible ; while, as a proof of the excellence of
her machinery, it may ,be mentioned :that, throughout the
whole voyage, not a screw or pill became loose.
A gale of wind appears to be more calculated to show the
vessel's great poWers than a calm. In the former, when the
wind keeps the sails stiff, she behaves very well, but when a
calm prevails she rolls tremendously.
The " rig" of the Great Britain is not yet perfect, and it
is, we believe, the intention of her gallant commander, before
making his next trip, to effect some important alterations in
if. The wire rigging is not found to answer so well as was
anticipated. • .• _
During the voyage she carried away .her main-topmast,
about half-way dowitke accident the more to be regretted,
as it is stated to haie.azisan from the insufficiency of hands
to take in the sail on h stiAden squall of wind rising. This
insufficiency, it should be stafes;i4 arose: from the desertion of
a large portion of the original crew at New York, just as the
vessel was upon the point of sailias, which obliged Lieute-
nant Hosken to make up his number with the best men he
could procure on the spot.
On attempting to remove the stump of the; broken mast, the
day after the accident, two of the crew were seziously injured.
One of them had his arm completely smashed— amputation
being• performed on the spot by the ship's surgeon': For this
poor fellow the passengers subsequently collected a piti:se con-
taining 251.
The weather has been unfavourable, strong easterly winds
prevailing nearly throughout the passage.
The Great Britain does not appear to have created any par-
ticular degree of excitement in the New World. The gene-
ral impression was unfavourable to her, and although visited
by very many persons. while lying in dock, there was •a
strong prejudice against crossing in her. This will, doubt-
less, be removed after she has made a few more equally suc-
cessful runs.

The mother of M. Arago, the eminent natural
philosopher, died at Estagel, in the eastern Pyrenees, a few
days ago, at the advanced age of ninety-one years.
DISEASED POTATOES.—Amongst the potatoes in-
troduced into the London markets a great proportion have
proved to be affected with the prevalent disease.—The roots
so attacked give out no peculiar appearance to the eye by
which the presence of disease may be indicated, but in boil-
ing it is at once perceptible from the dark mass which they
present in the interior. `The dealers are aware of this, and in
many of the poorer districii of the metropolis potatoes were
sold on Saturday at 41b. and 61b. for 2d. Whatever may
have been the cause, it is certain that externally the disease
indicates itself by a fungus or moss, producing a decomposi-
tion of the farinaceous interior. It therefore resembles in
many respects the ergot attacking grain and` grasses ; which
it was proved at the last meeting of the British Association, at
Cambridge, had greatly increased the last two or three years,
being probably owing to the great additional increase of
animal manures. It may be remarked that in the isle of
Wight, where the disease has occurred in its most virulnt
form, we lately had the opportunity of observing in many in
stances that it was most prevalent in those crops which had
been planted on-wheat land which had previously been ma-
nured with guano, The use of these diseased potatoes for
domestic purposes cannot be too much condemned.—Hamp-
shire Telegraph.

SUPPOSED ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISM.—ShortIy
before twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the police-constable
who was on duty in Drummond-street, in
"passing Mr.
Christie's premises, the Royal George Hotel, discovered that
the front door was open. Having aroused the inmates, Mr.
Christie hastened down, when his attention was called to a
strong smell of burning, which appeared to rise from the
lower part of the building. Mr. Christie and the constable
at once commenced an examination of the premises, and on
going into the back kitchen they found a fire burning, whiCh
it is suspected was wilfully caused by some person. Upon
making a further search, it was ascertained that the till had
been forced open, and about 20s. taken therefrom. This fact
strengthens the sggpposition that the premises had been first
robbed and then set lire to. Fortunately the discovers, was
so opportunely made that 114 e the was easily got out and be-
fore much damage was done.
NAVAL PREPARATIONS.—A large augmentation in
the number of artisans and labourers in all our dockyards
will take place immediately. No less than 426 additional hands'
are ordered to be entered in the dockyard, viz.:-Ibo ship-
wrights, 36 joiners, 22 caulkers, 48 smiths, 100 labourers,
42 sawyers, and 38 ropemakers' labourers. The ropemakers
are also to be augmented, and several stout boys are to be
admitted to this department. With the increased force four large*
war-steamers are to be built upon the designs respectively of
Fincham, the master shipwright, and Mr. White of
Cowes. These vessels we are got, ofr,t4e--

MR. WAKLEY, M.P.—A paragraph respecting the
alleged state of Mr. Wakley's health, which appeared in a
weekly medical journal, and which has been copied into
several of the newspapers, has caused considerable uneasiness
among the Hon. Gentleman's friends. We have great plea-
sure in stating that the representations contained in the para-
graph in question are Wholly destitute of foundation. Mr.
Wakley, about three weeks 'ago, left London for the Isle of
Skye, having previously purchased the right of shooting in
that island. Not having .quitted town for ten years pre-
viously, rof the purpose' of recreation, it was thought that a
temporary residence in an island 700 miles north of London
would greatly conduce to the improvement_of his health, after
the fatigues of professional .and Parliamentary life. We are
gratified to be able to state that these anticipatfd'is have been
realised.-Observer,

BoILER Exl'lmm:o/c—The boiler of a steam-engiap
used at the Burn-bank Brewery, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, ill
grinding malt and drawing water, exploded on Thursday last with
great violence. It appears the engineman, named Christopher
Hall, was in the act of turning on the steam, to ret the engine in
motion, at the very moment the e2plosion took place, which blew
off the roof of the building, and did Considerable damage to the
walls. Hall was thrown some distance froth Where he stood, and
was so much injured about the head and other parts of his body
that there is but little chance of his recovery. The noise brought
several persona to the spot, who were exceedingly active in their
endeavours to rescue the engineman from the fallen mass of build.
ings by which he was surrounded; and it was soon ascertained
that no other party was in the engine-house at the time, 50 that
Hall is the only sufferer. He was immediately conveyed to the
Infirmary, where he lies in a hopeless state. The accident arose
from the steam having been worked at too high a pressure.
JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The Commis-
sioners appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of the
recent explosion of fire damp at Jarrow Colliery are pursuing their
investigations, and as reporters are not allowed to be present at
their meetings, neither the evidence of the various witnesses
examined nor the general course of the inquiry can be known
until their report is presented. It is understood, however, that
the Commissioners are desirous of collecting all the information
they can from parties cognizant of facts relating to the state of the
mine previous to the explosion, and with that view they have had
private interviews with several of the workmen employed upon the
colliery. They have also availed themselves of the assistance of
parties who have been engaged in mining operations in various
parts of the district, as to the general mode of working, and the
system of ventilation employed, and it is understood that the in-
quiry will be the moat elaborate and scientific that has ever been
instituted.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday even-
ing last, about half-past five o'clock, a mast named Joseph Kidd, of
Renwick, Cumberland, aged 39 years, and a valuable horse, came
to untimely ends under the following distressing circumstances :
It appears that there is a very large cutting about a quarter of a
mile distant from Penrith Castle, and the earth is conveyed there-
from in waggons at a rapid rate on an incline a certain distance
through the fields, and across the main road leading from
Penrith to Keswick, to near the ruins of the Castle, where
the line becomes level; the waggons are drawn from this
place by horses to a large filling up at Penrith Townhead,
and the empty waggons are dragged back again to the cut by
horses. Deceased was in the act of taking five empty waggons
up again to the cut, and when he came to the "
or place where the change of line takes place, on unyoking
the horse from the waggons, it unfortunately turned the
wrong way, and got upon the line, where five loaded waggons
ordern t
were
coming down the incline at a most furious speed, and
extricate the horse from its perilous situation her in

Other medical gentlemen were also soon in attendance, tut they
would not amputate by reason of deceased having lost so much
blood, and the injuries to the spine and head. Although suffering
the most excruciating pain, the poor man was sensible till about
half-past nine o'clock of the same evening, when death put an end
to his torments. The horse was not killed, but it was so dread-
fully crushed and mangled that it was shot on the place. On the
same day, on the same line, near Yew's Cragg viaduct, Westmore.
a lad who was driving a horse, drawing a number of
waggon`, most miraculously escaped being killed. When u yoking the horse from the waggons on coming to the incline,lt:e-
tell into the middle of the line, where he lay quietly stretched out
till all the waggons passed over him, without receiving the least
but laugh, i

jury. On getting up the lad did nothing augh, and mme_
diately set to the same work again quite undismayed. Tuesday
last "1 an awfully fatal day amongst the workmen on the Lan-
caster and Carli,le Hallway, in the vicinity of Penrith, for we have
further to relate the heartrending particulars attending the death
of a Young man named Thomas Graham, aged 18 years, son of
Mr. T. Graham, of Skeugh_head, near Calthwaite. Deceased had
just " tipped" a waggon on a filling up near Barrow-mill, not far
from Hecketh-in-the-Forest, and was going to elect another
waggon, when a bolt and semi other gear gave way, and he was
thrown under it. His body was cut through about the middle of
the abdomen; his legs were crushed to pieces, and on the waggon
passing over him, he held up his hands, which dropped down again,
and the vital spark bad lied. He had 66. is silver in his
poc,liet, a half,croan of which 1,43 flattened as thin at te
finest elatt of tin.
