PARISH OF KENSINGTON.-CHURCII-RATF.S.-Fr.

day a numerously and respectably-attended vestry me&-
ing of the inhabitant ratepayers of the parish of St. Mary
Abbotts, Kensington, was held, pursuant to public notice, i,;
the vestry-room of the Old Church, -‘ for the purpose of ex-
amining and passing the accounts of the churchwardens for
tlw past year, and also for making a rate for the support,
maintenance, and repairs of the church during the current
year." The Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair, vicar, haviu:
taken the chair, and the notice calling the meeting having

. ,
been read, the accounts were then passed, without-a
disaen-
tiant voce. Mr. Bellworthy then said it was his duty, at
churchwarden, to ask the vestry to grant a church-rate for
the current year, of one penny in the pound or. the rental c)
the parish, amounting to 10,05 U. It was a very unusual
circumstance in that parish to have only a penny church-
rate, but he was happy to say it was sufficient. kr Ches
terton seconded the motion for a penny rate. After some
discussion, the chairman said the only motion before the
meeting was a rate of one penny, which was carried by an
immense majority, the only dissentient hand held up being
that of Mr. Sullivan. Thanks were then voted to the vene-
rable chairman, and the meting broke up.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO SIR W. HUGH MARSDEN. -•

Thnrrday forenoon Sir W. H. Marsden lefv his residence, HaLord
Lodge, near Waltham, in a pair.horse phaeton. On emerging
from the lodge-gate into the main poad, Sir William suddenly
came upon a drove of oxen. In the confusion that ensued, one n:
horses ran on the horns of an ox, which perforated the animal':
flank. The horse immediately started off at a furious pee, per-
fectly unmanageable, and the phaeton was whirled ahng at a
tremendous speed until the horses reached the hill at Harestock,

when their speed being decreased, the groom, who accompanied
Sir William, alighted from the phaeton and ran to the horse,'
heals. In his attempt to check the animals, the groom was
knocked down and severely kicked, and his attempt having caused
the horses to turn round, the animals dashed back down the hill,
and ran the phaeton into a deep ditch by the road-side Sir Wil-
liam was thrown out of the vehicle against the bank, and had his
lett arm broke. and his lett hip dislocated, besides other internal
injuries. The horses remained struggling in the traces until re.
leased by the groom. The horse gored by the Ox was obliged to
be destroyed.
A memorial has been transmitted from the Isle

Man to the Lords of the Treasury, praying that the mail
communication with Liverpool may be three tim a a week
during the whiter months, instead of twice weekly.
FATAL ACCIDENT OFF BATTERSEA —TUE'daN
evening, between five and six o'clock, another melancbo().
and fatal accident took place nearly opposite the Red House
Tavern, liatersea by which an elderly gentleman named George Mitten, of the Vauxhall bridge-road, lost his life.
It seems that the unfortunate deceased and a friend hired a
small pleasure boat for the purpose of proceeding down the
river. They were rowing very gently down with the stream
when the), by some means, came in cotitict with a heavily
laden barge. The force of the collision turned their boat, a
" funny," completely over, immersing them in the water, in-
stantly. An alarm was immediately made by the persons
who witnessed the accident on shore, and severol b,atmen
rowed to t le spot, but before they could get to them the de-
ceased had dis appeared. The other gentleman was fortu-
nately saved from a watery grave by clinging to the head-
part of the barge.
THE NEW GAMING ACT.—It was stated in a para-
graph relating to the new Gaming Act, which appeared in
this paper of Saturday, that the magistrates at Marlboiough-
street Police-otlice, who had looks d into the Act, were oi
opinion that an oversight had been committed, inammich a,
it appeared, according to the wording of one of the clauses_
that licensed victuallers could claim the a; vantage of keep-
ing their houses open all night (Saturday excepted) for play-
ing billiards, and consuming excisable ?kin This con-
struction of the Act appears, however, on re-co,sideration to
be erroneous. There is a sub,equent clause which prohibits
bcensed victuallers from keeping open their houses for bil-
liards between the hours of one and eight in the morning. It

is necessary to corre A the statement in the fo,m,r parkrrapi,
as it may otherwise mislead those most interested in th
matter.

M. TmEns.—lt is said that M. Thiers does not
intend to prol, rg his stay in Eugland beyond the close of
the week. He will visit Lard Lansdowne, and will to-
morrow leave Mivart's for the Grange, Hants, on a visit
to Lord and Lady k-bburton, accompanied by G:unt
Walewski. Madame Thiers and Madame Donne take their
departure to-morrow for Paris. Count Walewski, natural
son of Napoleon, who has I.Kum the co.npagurn du voyage of'
M. Thiers, is son -in-law of the Dowager Countess of Sand-
wich, and consequsn'ly nearly connected to the Earl of Sand-
wich. M. Thiers and Count Walew,ki were to have gone
on a visit to the Earl rnd Countess of Sandwich, at Hinehim-
brooke, near Huntingdon, but Owing to the sudden death of
Lady Agnes Byng, of course they could not receive company
there. _

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.

by the intergenc.e that two young htes, daughter= or 3lra.

Mr. R. GeDdac7e, of felt-esti:oTc., the itlttcr a :snail

went to Leiceser,_ Mr. If— retnaioitor behind, mid taking
his usual nap; after which he tcok a-walk over part of big

was greatly surprised to find that the two Miss B-•-•--25
left home, and passed through the Cross-in-Hand toll-gate
with their two inamoratas, in two gigs, on their way to the
railway station at Brandon, from whence they proceeded to
Birmingham, closely followed by a brother and other friends
of the family, who succeeded in coming up with them just al
they were on their way to church to complete the hvmeneal
tie. Upon being remonstrated with as to their conduct, the
young ladies said that " they had fully made up their
minds to the step they were about to take ; if
they were old enough to. judge for themselves, and
they did not marry then, why th-v should another timed
.
The brother finding that they were fully resalved, tot
them that, "if they were bent upon marrying the parties
they had eloped with, they must know that they would not
be allowed to come to Bittesby again ;" to which the''very
pithily replied, " We don't want;" whereupon the brother
and his friends walked away, leaving the voueg ladies to
pursue their way to church, where they were soon bound to
those bonds which we are tchl that "no man shah Put
asunder." The loves of Miss Ann B— and Stevensou
afford a striking proof that "knowledge" is not the only
thing "pursued unter difficulties," as the following narl?"
'ism will show. Some years ago Stevenson was employed 't
the capacity of waggoner in the service of Mr. 311
that time Miss B— formed an attachment to him, wide
tone of the " ups and downs " that afterwards occurred le'
toor Stevensoa could shake. The friends of the lady, fi"(l,ing
that persuasion was useless. thought that absence
effe
probably remove her misplaced affection; and to to
ct
this a sum of maney was giv..,o to Stevenson to go
Imerica and settle as a small farmer; but even the bro

Atlantic could not cool Miss B—'s attachment, Ill,e3,1)0.
being found to carry on a correspondence with her sigitt

Itherefore came back to the "love he had left behind him,"
entered into the service of Mr. R. Goodacre, as shepherd,
Meetings of a clandestine character were held between tio,
narties, till Miss B— went to reside with her brother,
Newton. About twelve months since her sister Lucy welerei

the lad by the Mint solicitor took place before the Eton
bench of magistrates, by whom he was reminded from time
to time, until after the trial of the swindlers at the Old Bailey
sessions, When the trial was over, the Mint, in conse-
quence of the important evidence given by Russell, and r f
his expressing his contrition for his past offences, and pro-
mising to amend his conduct, declined to go on with the
prosecution, and he was liberated and sent home to his father
at Beaconsfield, in the hope that the narrow escape be had
had would prove a warning to him for the future. Shortly
afterwards, however, he resumed his connexion with his
London thieving asseciates, and he is again in custody-, at
Aylesbury gaol, charged with stealing a pony, the property
of Mr. Saunders, a builder of London. It appears that Mr.
Saunders gave the prisoner a horse to hold while he went
into a house to transact some business; and on his return
both the horse and the pthoner had vanished. In conse-
quence of the robbery being advertised in the Police Gazette,
the thief was apprehended by Sergeant Cornaby, of the
Aylesbury police, riding upon the pony near Beaconsfield.
The prisoner, who is not more than 16 years of age, admit-
ted to the magistrates that he had committed the robbery,
and he was fully committed to take his trial for the offence at
the ensuing sessions for the county of Bucks.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN JERSEY.—The
weather becomes every day. if possible, more unsettled. Al-
together, a season like teat which is said nominally to be
gone, but which in reality might be almost asserted never to
have existed, has not been known in Jersey within the me-
mory of the oldest perzion living. The crops which generally
do not arrive at maturity till mid winter are completely de-
stroyed. The potatoes are scarcely fit for dog's meat, while
a great portion of the onions and carrots are completely
rotten.—Jersey•Time.s,Pct..7.
THE MAN-WOMAN MYSTERY CLEARPD UP.—A
case arising out of the death of the eccentric person who
for a considerable time wore the garb of a man, and went
by the name of Sir Edward Douglas, but who was, in fact, a
female, said to be the natenel daughter of an English noble-
man, came before the Civil Tribunal of Paris on Wednes-
day. After this peisen's death, and the absence of all claim-
s, the officers of the Crown took possession of her furni-
ture as an escheat. Subsequently, however, a Mr. George
Carter came forward, and claimed this furniture as being his
in right of his mother, who was the reputed sister of Sir
Edward Douglas, alias Miss Digby. In founding his claim,
he stated that the two sisters lived together until the death
of Mrs. Carter, to whom the furniture belonged, when the
surviving sister requested to retain it, allowing Mr. George
Carter 100 f. a• year for the use of it. Tile evidence produced
by Mr. Carter in support of his claim not being satisfactory
to the Crown officers, they rtfused to give it up to him, and
thereupon he appealed to the tribunal, which, after consi •
Bering what he submitted to it, decreed that he was entitled
to the furniture, ordered it to be given up to him, and con-
demned the Crown to pay all the costs of the suit.
EECTORSIIIP OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, EDINBURGH.
—We regret to understand that Dr. Carson has resigned the
rectorship of our high school. There are feW men who could
retire from official life with so large and unqualified a share of
public approbation and esteem. Dr. Carson has filled the
honourable and responsible office for upwards of twenty-five
years, and the singularly able and efficient manner in which
he has, during that long period, discharged its various duties,
render his retirement now a heavy public loss. The advanced
wears of Dr. Carson form, we believe, the reason of the step

JURY COURT TAIN.—SUPERSTITION.—A singular
and interesting trial took place at Tain on Monday last,
showing that superstition is not yet wholly dispelled :
William Grant, a fisherman at Porunahomack, conceiving
that the w.fe of "Walter Munro, fisherman there, pos-
sessed the power of witchcraft, and that her supernatural in-
fluence was directed against himself, went into her husband's
house on the 3 t of August last, and with his pocket knife
deliberately inflicted a deep gash on her forehead. The pri-
soner admitted the assault, but stated that he considered
himself justified en account of the provocation he had re-
ceived. The prosecutor refused to accept such a plea, and the
case went to trial, when the jury found Grant guilty, and be
was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in Dingwall
gaol. The declaration made before the sheriff by the prisoner
was a very curious and original statement. He attributed
the loss of his new nets and the want• of success in the
herring fishing, to the woman's " dark dealings in sorcery,"
and the rest of the crew were not willing to go out with him
while he was under the curse of the witch ! In consequence
of this, he took the opportunity, on the night in question,
to cut her " above the breath," believing that with the first
drop of blood brought out by such a process the devil would
come out along with it, and that the woman would be deprived
of the power of harming bins ! It would seem that a super-
stitious notion of this sort is prevalent among the Highland
people ; but the cut" is generally made by a pin or needle.
In the absence of tlo se, the prisoner used his knife, by which
there was an effusion of blood for several hours, until the
doctor arrived from. 'rain, and also confinement to bed for
five weeks. The Sheriff addressed the prisoner at consider-
able length, in which he dwelt on the recklessness of his con-
duct in assaulting an old woman who was unable to defend
herself; and also exposing the groundless superstition which
prompted him to such an act of cruelty. It is to be hoped
that time punishment of Grant will have a salutary effect ou
the fishermen and villagers, of whom, it is said, a great pro-
portion enter' ain the same superstitious belief in witchcraft.—

FOOT-RACE.—Yesterday, Martin, of London, and
Berry, of Lambeth, decided their match near the King's

AlELANctioix AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.—It
with feelings of deep regret that we have to record the occur

death of Mr. Colin Dunbar, principal clerk to Provost Ca-

part of the day with Mr. Rhind, architect, to see the addi-

to the Episcopal Chapel, and then to the mills. A feeling c
deep regret prevails amongst the deceased's wide circle o
acquaintances. Mr. Dunbar, we regret to say,
has left

THE LATE GENERAL FRANCIS SLATER REBOW.—
This venerable general officer (formerly of the Ist Life
Guards), expired on Tuesday last, at his seat in Essex, in
his 76th year. The deceased General had seen much service
in the army, having assisted at the reduction of Martinique,
St. Lucia, and Guailaloupe, in 1794, and at she taking t the
lrst-mentioned town he was severely wounded in both legs.
In 1812 he took part in the campaign under the Duke of
Wellington, in the Peninsula.
FALL of A RETAINING WALL OF THE EDIN•
BURGH AND GRANTON AMWAY. —On Thursday morning
last, about a hundred and fifty feet of the bulwark or retain-
ing wall of the Edinburgh and Granton Railway, opposite the
VVardie, fell into the sea. It appears that, in consequence of
the late heavy rains, a quantity of water had accumulated in
an intervening space between the bulwark and ad.;oining
embankment, and that this filtering through the earth on the
one side of the wall, and the sea beating violently against it
on the other, had loosened the foundation and can ied it
away. Workmen are again busily employed in repairing the
damage.—Edinburgh Witness.
COD isu.—Our city was yesterday liberally
supplied with cod fish from the Murray. They were of a

and was informed that the refuse was put 'nto boat, and
then carried out to sea. On visiting the Egerton dock they
found the dredges at work. His Lordship anxiously watched
their movements, witnessed the sailing of the boats out of the
dock, arid then, to his surprise, found the boats emptied their

MANCHESTER AND SOITTIIA‘IPTON ALLOTMENT.—
The letters of allotment of the shares in this Company were issued
on Wednesday, and, as far as we can learn, the distribution in
Cheltenham, at least, was a very fair one, and has caused general
sati4action. This was to be expected, as well from the character
of the general committee, as of the Cheltenham members of that
body. The delay whch occurred in the allotment, and which gave
rise to such unfavourable surmises in adverse quarters was ac-
counted for, by the announcement of the Committee accompanying
.the allotment, that Mr. Hudson, and his co.directois of the Mid-
land lines, had joined the direction of the Manchester and South.
ampton. This was a master stroke of policy on the part of the
Committee, and it had, no doubt, a very favourable influence on
the priceof shares, as it afforded an additional guarantee that the
whole influence of the Birmingham and Manchester people, as w'
as those connected with the narrow gauge Nor, hem lines, w'
be thrown into the scale it, favour of this Southern extension
Cheltenham to Southampton.— Cheltenh rm
THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—The trustees of the
British Museum have recently opened one of the large rooms
in the new wing erected at the west end of this magnificent

is placed in the centre of the apartment, and attached to it
is the following inscription :—" Chinese Bell, from a Buddhist

seasons. In 1843, it was 13 feet 7 inches, and in 1844, 161. et
10 inches. A slip taken from it la.t year, and planted in the

THE IV EATHER.—Since Monday the weather has
been dry, and farmers have been enabled to secure a part of
their crops. There is still a good deal of oats remaining
uncut, and a few weeks more of fine weather is greatly
needed. Last night a sharp keen frost set in, which this
morning NVAS succeeded by a fall of rain, retarding further
harvest operations. The crop tq:on the whole is go ,t 1 in this
county, with the exception of wheat, of which there are few
good samples. Potatoes are most abundant, aid we have
heard of no failures.—Ross-shire Advertiser.

THE ECLAIR.—SHEERNESS, THURSDAY, OCT. 9.—
rho sick on board the Eclair have all been transferred to the
A,orcester (frigate in ordinary), with the exception of Mr.
laniard, who is too ill to be removed, and it is apprehended
nay not recover. Lieut. Isaacson and the pilot, who were
mien ill on board the Revenge, and are now on board the
Worcester, are both, we learn, considered to be slight cases,
and likely to do well. The rest are convalescent. No fresh
eases on board the Revenge or Benbow have occurred.
BALLINASLOE FAIR, OCTOBER B.—The cattle fair
YanumncLal to-day, and, as was generally anticipated, it was
ittite as good as any that has taken place for some time (not
'xcepting the fair of 1641, which was considered a large and
eery good one in comparison with its predecessors for years),
thhough the t ttal at the fair and sold was not unusually
'umerous. The stock upon the green was not only an
.verage one in number, but prime in quality, and prices were
wopartionslly high. The average increase upon the prices
thtained la.t October was from 15s. to 1/. on store stock, and
from 11. to 30s. on fat stock, yet there was such a
temand for all classes of cattle, that there was scarcely
t prime beast to be had af. er 11 o'clock ; the hurried
tie, however, may be in some measure accounted
'tr by an unfortunate change that took place in the wea-
.!ser. The following list shows some of the sales effected
luring the day :—Mr. Robert Irwin's top lot, to Mr. Patrick
P Donnell, for 171. 10s.; Mr. Arthur O'Connor's top lot, to
.fr. Blaney Wade, at 17/.; Mr. Patrick Taffe's top lot, to Mr.
tate, Queen's County, for 171.; Major Mahon's top lot, to
Ise ttinge, for 164; Mr. Booth's top lot, to Mr. H. Barton,
Straffan, for 15/. 103; Mr. Arthur O'Connor's second lot, to
llr. Samuel Holt, fir 15/. ; Major Davis's lot, to Mr. Pollock,
Mountainstown, for 161. 51.; Mr. Walter M'Donough's top
lot of 50, 12/. 12s ; second lot of 50, 111. lls.; third .lot of
tOO, 10/. ; an 1 forth lot of 80, 9/. ; Burton Persse's fop lot of
-ill, 12/. 4a.; and Captain Burke's top lot of 80, 10/. 12s.
according to returns the total number of cattle brough t
to market was 9,637, of which 8,423 were sold.
LUNATICS IN PRIVATE HOUSES.—The following
:notice has been issued by the Commissioners in Lunacy,
,igned by the Secretary:—" All persons (not being cons-
nittees appointed by the Lord Chancellor) receiving as board-
ers or lodgers, or taking the care or charge of insane persons,
n unlicensed private houses, are requested to take notice,
that ley the 90th section of the recent Act, 8 and 9 Victoria,
100, which continues in this respect the provisions of the
2d and 3d William IV., c. 107, orders and medical certti-
nttes, in a prescribed form, are necessary for the reception
r legal detention of single patients, and that, under the
irst-named statute, copies of all such orders and certificates
re required to be transmitted within seven days to the se-
Tetary of the Commissioners in Lunacy. A similar provision
L,5 to the necessity of previous orders and certificates was
ontainecl in the late Act, and all parties having received
insane patients without the proper orders and certificates,
tr having neglected to transmit copies of those documents
o the clerk of the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy at
he expiration of the first year, and to make thereafter re-
;ular medical returns, annually, in the month of January,
."ere declared guilty of a misdemeanour, the power to prose-
nate far which still exists under the present Act. Fresh cer-
tificates are not requisite in the case of patients with respect
-0 whom returns were duly made under the late Act. Copies
,f all existing orders and certificates, not already returned,
should be transmitted forthwith."
Trig WEATIIER.—GREAT FLOODS.---For several
•veeks past the weather has been exceedingly variable ; but during
ast week it was tempestuous and rainy beyond the precedent of
nany years. From ten o'clock on Thursday night to the same
sour the following evening, the rain fell without even a moment's
intermission. The streams in this neighbourhood were greatly
swollen, the flood in the Water of Leith reaching the first tier of
irchlng at Canonmills.bridge, and covering the road which runs
from that point parallel with the stream. The Meadows at the
,ast end were laid under water; in some of the low grounds
dear Corstorphine, the stooks yet remaining iu the fields were
surrounded by water. On Saturday the weather still con-
timed showery ; but on Sunday it again became fair and
sunshiny, and yesterday also was a fine day. From
,they quarters the accounts of the weather are simi.
ar. On the banks of the river Almond many stooks were
"arried away, and several fields of potatoes in pare washed away.
Che river Clyde has been in flood since the 28th ult. It reached
is height about fliur o'clock on Saturday morning, when it was
'ound to have risen twelve feet above its ordinary level. During
the night the river rose over the sheds on the Broomielaw, and
;wept away many articles which it had been found impossible to
remove. The baron officer to Lord Douglas, at Netherfoot, on
'he Clyde, lost his whole crop of oats, amounting to about 200
'Cooks. So early as Tuesday last the Forth, at low water, had
isen eight feet at Stirling beyond the ordinary level, owing to the
Highland flood. On Friday the Tweed and Teviot came down in
good, carrying away quantities of corn ; at two o'clock on Saturday
corning the Tweed was about its height, the public road by Max-
eellheugh Mill being under water. The river has not been so
iigh since the great flood in 1831.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, OCT. B.—Prices COT•
tinue firm. 2,500 tons were purchased on Thursday, at 955. nett
,ash, which we quote as the price of the day.—Glasgow National.
TITCHFIELD.—MR. BRIGHT.—We have just seen
beautiful piece of plate about to be presented to John
fright Esq , M.P., on which is the following inscription :
.` Presanted to John Brigh , Esq., M.P , by a few uf the it -
tabizants of Titchtield parish, as a small token of their ap
wobation of his zealous endeavours to expose the injustice
'nil iniquity of the game-laws. September I.sth, 1845."—
This testimonial was the result of a subset iption originating
.vith a few disinterested individuals, who have on many
',ruler occasions acceletated by their influence and contri-
tittions the cause tf freedom and justice. We beg to refer
'sit readers to our last number, under the Christchurch head,
for information on the oppressive working cf the game law s.
—Hampshire Independent.
THE ANDOVER UNION.—The new master of the
union, Mr. Price, who was appointed on tits recommendation
f the Assistant-Commissioner, has been dismissed. At a
neetiag of the guardians, held on Saturday, the clerk read a
letter from the Poor law Commissioners, in which they
stated that they were not aware of the previous conduct and
character of Price, or they would not have sanctioned ha
recommendation. They admitted that one of their Assistan• -
Commissioners, Mr. Austin, was sent down to Oxford son e
time ago to inquire into the conduct of the master there, at d
that he had forwarded to them an official report, which tilt y
sad n-at examined until the present tuna, having understooc ,
't the period of Mr. Austin's inquiry, that as soon as it com-
menced the master resigned, and that therefore the charg s
against. him were not investigated, and required no forth r
notice. Mr. Assistant-Commissioner Parker had written a
similar explanation, saying be had heard that Price lit d
resigned because he wished to leave his situation at Oxfon',
and not because of any charges brought against bins cor-
neeted with his conduct in his situation there. The Co.-rliii
rnissimiers having. consequently, recommended that P e
should he dismissed, the gm.raians agree .1 to a reso.,u t. ton o
that effect.
A court-martial has been ordered on hoard the
Lynx brigai.iim to ingoire into certain conduct charged
against 'Mr. Mitchel, of that vessel, and the Lynac boa been
sent round to Cork for that purpose.

DISCOVERY OF A BEAR.—As Mr. John West, of
Leigh-place, was on his way home through Leigh-street,
en Saturday night, he heard same unusual and
very singular groaning sounds proceeding from some
new buildings whie'l are in course of ere:lion in that
neighbourhood by Mr. Eaton, of the firm of Leigh and
Eaton, solicitors. On procuring a light and entering the
premises, he was greatly surprised to find that the groaning
wa-; caused by a young black bear, evidently not more than
nine months old, which had taken up its position in ort, c,f
the new middeus. The animal had a collar round its neck,
attached to which was a piece of cord. He made it fast in
the madden until assistance was procured, aid then it was
conVeyed to the nearest bridewell, where it at present re-
mains Most probably the bear lost by Mr. Punchard, of
Basnett-street, is the same which has been found in Leigh-
street.—Liverpool Albion.
MACKEREL.—MOUNTS BA Y.— Sillee our last re-.
ror

.ort the driving boats have succeeded in bringing ashore
c .nsiderable quantities of fine mackerel—some 6,000, and
others varying down to 500, which have been eagerly pur-
chased at from Bs. 6d. to 14s. per 120. Some of the
boats have had the misfortunce to injure their nets, and
one boat lost hers on the Wool Rock, but subsequently re-
covered them. We understand that the shipping have lately
damaged the drift nets to a considerable extent. SENNEN.—
On Sunday last two seins belonging to Messrs. Trenibath
and Co. were shot, and enclosed about twenty hogsheads of
pilchards, and several thousand full size bream. ST. Ives.—
The drift-net boats have been pretty successful in the
mackerel fishery, which fish have met a ready deinand at
from 10s. to 12s. per 120. Oa Friday night these hard-
' working men had the misfortune to lose no fewer than sixty

SUIPWRECKS.—Yesterday morning, between six
and seven o'c'ock, two schooners and a small sloop were Seta
rounding the Girdleness and making for the harbour. The
spa was running high at the time; and a smart gale
blowing from the south-east, with heavy rain. One of
the schooners, which turned out to be the Commodore, of
this port, took the harbour in good style, and got safe
into part. The other schooner was not so fortunate.
By means of something going wrong about the wheel,
she veered considerably to the north, and, irstead of
making the harbour, struck the pier-head. The prompti-
tude of the captain, however, saved her from being dashed
to pieces, as, seeing the coming danger, before another sea
struck the vessel, he had her head turned round to the
north, but such was the strength of the sea and wind to-
gether, that he was not able to make out to sea, but was
driven ashore at the back of the North Pier. The s!oop was
still 'more unfortunate, she came against the North Pier-head
with a tremendous crash, and had her broadside staved
in. The hands were got off immediately, and most
fortunate for them, for the next sea drove her to the north
side of the pier, where she lies a total wreck. The sloop
is the George and Mary, dorrint, of and from Jersey,
with apples for this port, and the schooner is the Logle
o' Buchan, Crombie, of and for Newburgh from New-
castle with coals. We regret to state that the sloop on
coining round the Girdleness, was struck by a heavy
sea, which washed overboard a boy about thirteen years of
age. The whole of the crew of the schooner was saved.
We regret to record another shipwreck, but fortunately at-
tended by the loss of no lives, which also tot k place yester-
day morning, about three miles to the north of Don Mouth,
at a place called the black Dog. The Prussian vessel.
Aurora, Ahrens, from Dantzic to Aberdeen, with timber,
came into the bay on Wednesday evening, when a pilot
went on board, but the tide being too far back, she was to
lie in the bay till morning, the pilot remaining en board.
When the gale rose, however, she was driven to the north,
and her rigging giving way, was driven ashore at the place we
have mentioned. She is expected to be got ol—Aberdeen

OREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—The Dutch
steam ship Batavier brought sixty-two oxen and cows and
ninty-nine sheepjour hampers of poultry, fifteen baskets
of walnuts, a large quantity of seeds, and a variety of
every other description of Dutch produce, with the excep-
tion y
of ripe fruit, of which article she did not bring an
this voyage. The General Steam Navigation•Companyce
steam ship Venezuela, also from Rotterdam, Li-ought 411
sheep, twelve cows, two oxen, thirty package.s of yeast,
two packages of poultry, a large quantity of fish, butter,
--pickles, roots, and an extensive variety of articles, the pro-
duction of Holland. This ship did not efther bring the
least quantity of fruit of any description, which wouldimply
that the importation of the article from that country
has entirely discontinued for the season. The quantities
which have been brought every week throughout the sum-
mer from that country, and that at an early period of the
arrival of the season ter each separate kind, have been of a
most extensive nature, and certainly beyond all precedent

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. RAMSDOTTOM,
—lt was fully expected by the masonic. brethren that the
late Mr. Ramsbottom (from the high posion which
hhe held
in the craft, having been for a great number of years Prc-
vincial Grand Master for the county of Berks) would be
buried with masonic honours. We understand, however,
that the funeral, agreeably to the wishes expressed by the
deceased, a short time before he breathed his last, will be
strictly private. The remains of the lateMr.Ramsbottona
will be deposited by the side of those of his wife, whom he
survived upwards of twenty years,, in the family vault in the
churchyard of Old Windsor. Ihe deceased, who was the
senior trustee to the Royal Marine Institution for Clothing
and Educating the Sons of Indigent Freemasons, ever took a
warm and active interest in all matters of a charitable and
benevolent nature connected with the masonic fraternity.
The funeral will take place this day.
PHEASANT SHOOTiNG.—Very favourable accounts
are given of the plentifulness of young birds. The season
has been very favourable for rearing then), the spring being
exceedingly dry. Young birds are particularly strong

PETTY SESSIONS.-13y a return just issued it ap-
pears that in England and Wales there areas many as 357 petty
sessions held la inns and public-houses. The places are ge-
nerally wretchely inconvenient for the administration f
public justice. For a great many no rent is paid, as as
custom brought to the house is considered sufficient. In
Wales, however, the magistrates pay a few shillings, or diuo
on the occasion.
