THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
This week's arrivals' have been small of English
Grain, good of Irish Oats, and fair of Foreign Wheat.
The trade was extremely dull for Wheat. In other
Grains the transactions were few, at former terms.
F lour unvaried.

SMITHFIELD.
The number of cattle offered for sale was plentiful,
but the demand was not brisk, the prime quality only
being in demand. The best qualities of Mutton, Veal,
and Pork met a ready sale at an advance of from 2d.
to 4d. per stone. Beasts, 573 ; Sheep and Lambs,
4,750 ; Calves, 215 ; Pigs, 539. Beef, 3s. to 4s. 4d. ;
Mutton, 3s. to 4s. 6d.; Veal, 33. 4d. to 4s. 10(1. ;
Pork, 3s. 4(1. to 4s. Bd.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

There has been more disposition shown to purchase
British Plantation Sugar, and the market generally has
assumed more firmness. The business done amounts
to about 2,000 hhds. Small parcels of Dominica Mo-
lasses have been sold at 28s. 6d. to 295., being barely
previous prices. Mauritius went off much better than
was anticipated, low greyish to fine yellow sold at
565. to 675., and very low to good brown at 435. 6d.
to 555. 6d. Bengal went off at rather lower:rates for
inferior sorts, but good white Benares brought 60s.
to 68s. 6d., low greyish to fine yellow 575. to 625.,
low to good brown Khaur were taken in at 465.6 d. to 51s.
Ceylon Coffee 645. 6d. to 655. for very good ordinary
quality, being rather dearer; the remainder were
taken in above the value, viz., at 665. ; Batavia, and
good ordinary brown Singapore and Java, at 395. to
395. 6d. Few transactions have taken place in Cocoa,
and consequently no alteration can be quoted in
value. A fair business continues to be done
in Rum, at prices a shade under those of
last week ; the transactions consist of 450 puns.
Jamaica, at 2s. 10d. to 2s. 6d. for 28 to 36 per cent.
overproof, fine quality, 3s. Bd. to 4s. 4d. ; 50 puns.
Demerara, 38 per cent. over, at 4s. 4d., and 250 puni.
Leeward Islands, proof to 16 per cent. over, at the
rate of ls. Bd. to Is. 9d. for proof strength. 'Rice-
-1,058 bags sold at lls. to 12s. for good mid. to good
white, Bengal being 3d. to 6d. cheaper. Spices-
-2,500 bags Pepper (chiefly Penang), and 398 bags,
10 casks Pimento have been brought to auction; the
former were mostly taken in at 2d. to 20. (except-
ing about 500 bags, which sold at 2d. for mid.
quality) for mid. to good earthy, being a shade cheaper.

TEA MARKET:
Tea much the same as at the recent public sales,
and a moderate business was done. The deliveries
continue large, and the stock heavy.
TALLOW MARKET.
The demand for Tallow was steady, and prices
were firmly sustained ; 48s. 6d. paid for Yellow Can-
dle on the spot, and 48s. 9d. for delivery in the first
two months of next year. The importations fall short
of last year.

CURE OF CONSUMPTION AND ASTTIMA.--SeVeral
medical gentlemen, interested in the successful treat-
ment for Asthma and Consumption, have frequently,
within the last fortnight, witnessed, at 9, Craven-
street, Strand, the application of Mr. Cronin's
new discovery for the cure of the above diseases,
and heard the different patients express their sense
of the immediate relief afforded by his treatment.
Venables, Physician to the London Dispensary,
and Lecturer on Chemistry ; Dr. Eagan, Mr. Pant,
Mr. Forsyth, and other medical gentlemen who were
present, seemed to take particular interest in the suc-
cess of this discovery, and examined with considerable
attention the different patients, both before and after
the operation. The cases which attracted most surprise
from decided improvement manifested, were Mrs.
Young, confirmed consumption, 87, Dean-street,
Soho ; Mr. Cartwright, confirmed consumption, Na-
vigation and Sloop-office, Customs ; Sinclair, mes-
senger, General Post-office, consumption ; Mr.
Gering, at Mr. Smith's, 25, Strand, distressing
asthma; Mrs. Lyon, consumption ; Thomas Potter,
distressing asthma, &c.
THE MURDER AND BURGLARY AT DERBY.—Holmes,
the sweep, who with Bonsall and Bland, was con-
cerned in the late murder and burglary in the Misses
Goddard's house at Stanley, after 501. had been offered
for his detection, was captured by Keetes, the Leek
constable, on Friday last. On the following morn-
ing, according to his own wish, he was taken before a
Magistrate, and made a full confession. He excul-
pates himself completely : states Bonsall to have been
the murderer of Miss Goddard, and points out a per-
son of the name of "Phil Donagan" as having parti-
cipated in the two former robberies at the house.
The prisoners were to be finally examined on Satur-
day. The two persons, named Keeling and Green,
who were taken into custody on suspicion, have been
set at liberty. Last week's Derby Reporter contained
notices of nineteen burglaries and robberies, several
attempts at burglary, and one attempt at highway
robbery, in and around Derby. This week we have
five more to add to the catalogue ; the most serious of
which is one, in which Mr. I owke, farmer, was way-
laid by four men about two miles from Derby, and
robbed of bank notes to the amount of 2791. The
miscreants have as yet escaped.
'MARRIAGE OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRIN-
CESS AUGUSTA OF CAMBRIDGE.--The preliminaries
for the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta of Cambridge (the eldest daughter of her Ma-
jesty's illustrious uncle) have been finally arranged,
and the nuptial ceremony will take place at no very
distant period. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge arrived at Windsor on Wednesday last,
for the purpose of communicating this interesting fact
to her Majesty. The future husband of the Princess
is his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke
of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the eldest son of the reigning
Duke, George V. The Queen's Royal and illustrious
uncle, after partaking of luncheon with her Majesty,
left Windsor Castle in the afternoon for Kew. It is
expected that the ceremony will take place on the
Continent. The bridegroom elect was born on the
17th of October, 1819, 'consequently his Royal High-
ness has just entered his twenty-fourth year. The
Princess Augusta of Cambridge is in her twenty-
first year.
MEDAL OF SIR I. M. BRUNEL.--The completion of
that truly great and national work, the Thames Tun-
nel, has just been appropriately commemorated by the
striking of a medal of its ingenious and indefatigable
projector, Sir I. M. Brunel, executed by W. J. Tay.
lor, from a design by Warrington. The profile of
this eminent engineer is given in high relief, and,
with a finished and delicate accuracy of detail,
exhibits all those characteristics of deep thought,
accurate observation, and indomitable perseverance,
by which alone an undertaking of this novelty,
magnitude, and danger could have been success-
fully accomplished. Whilst the arts are too habitually
prostituted in the commemoration of achievements
hostile to the peace of mankind and the dictates of
humanity, let us, as good citizens of the world, grate-
fully hail this one happy effort of their resources, in
honour of a work of great domestic usefulness, the
memory and merit of which must endure as long
as the river flows which it undermines. The
obverse of the medal has the inscription. " Sir ISAM-
BERT MARX BRUNEL, F.R.S. ;" and the reverse,
" Thames Tunnel from Rotherhithe to Wapping-,
1,200 feet. Commenced January, 1826, progressed
600 feet January, 1828 ; 180,0001. subscribed by pro-
prietors ; recommenced 1836 by Parliamentary grant,
270,000/. ; and completed 1842."
DEATH OF THE HON. AND REV. GEORGE RUSH.
OUT BOWLES, AI.A.—We have to record the demise
on the 17th inst., at Barford House' of the Hon. and
Rev. George Rushout Bowles, M.A., rector of Bar-
ford, brother and heir apparent to Lord Northwick, of
Northwick Park, in the county of Worcester. The
deceased was in his 71st year, having been born. July
30, 1772. He was admitted to holy orders in 1799,
and married in 1803, Caroline, daughter of John, se-
venth Earl of Galloway, aunt of the present Earl, and
likewise of Jane, present Duchess of Marlborough.

BRAZ/LTAN TARIFF.
We Subjoitill translation of the instructions issued
by the Brazilian Government to the Commissioners
appointed to prepare the new tariff on goods imported
to that country. The Report of the Commissioners
wotild be presented to the Brazilian Chambers, at
their meeting, on the Ist of Ja.naary, which shows
that it is not intended to make any change in the
existing import duties before that time :
BRAZILIAN TARIFF.—The instructions given by
the Minister of Finance, Viscount, de Abrantes, to
the Commissioners (45 in number, divided into nine
sections) assigns to each section a different descrip-
tion of goods, wares, or merchandise, and are expressed
as follows, viz.:—
" Art. I. The Commissioners altogether, or divided
into sections, shall hold their conferences or meetings
in one of the offices at the Custom-house, at such
times as the Chairman of the Commission shall ap-
point. And the Collector of the Customs shall render
every assistance in his power to forward the labours
of the Commission, when requested to do so by the
Chairman.
" 11. Any member not being able to continue his
attendance shall intimate the same to the Chairman,
who shall report to the Treasury, pointing out at the
same time a proper person to fill the situation.
" 111. In settling the new tariff, the respective sec-
tions shall describe as accurately as possible, and
classify all the productions and merchandise, general
objects of commerce.
" IV. The Commission shall arrange in alphabetical
order the names of all goods, wares, and merchandise,
according to their respective classes, and prepare an
index specifying the page where they are to be found
in the tables of the tariff.
" V. The amount of duty (not being less than 2
per cent., nor more than 60) shall be stated opposite
each article of produce or merchandise described and
classified in the said tables.
" VI. The duties to which the produce and mer-
chandise to be imported for home consumption, re-
exported, or transhipped, shall be subject, shall be
calculated (with such exceptions only as may be found
4pedient) according to the weight of solids to the
contents of liquids, and to the number of such as can
be readily counted.
" VII. A table shall be annexed to the tariff of the
tares to be allowed on all goods, &c., which cannot or
ought not to be weighed separate from the packages or
casks in which they are contained.
" VIII. That in apportioning the duties the Com-
missioners must attend,
" 1.. To their being articles of greater or less ne-
cessity :to the community atlarge, or to the com•
fort of certain classes of the consumers.
" 2. To the facility or difficulty of smuggling the
same.

3. To the propriety of encouraging articles the
produce of the country, or manufactured in it, or
even of such as may in time become a substitute
for those coming from abroad.
" 4. To the utmost facility in calculating the res-
pective duties, so as not to impede the clearing
the same through the different departments of the
Custom-house.
" IX. The Commissioners are required to lay down
rules, by which the officers employed in the Custom-
house ought to be governed in the following cases :
" 1. If the article or merchandise should be omitted
in the tariff.
"2. If any dispute should arise between the Cus-

signees of any gocds, as to their classification or

" X. The Commissioners are equally required to
propose any other measures which they may consider
necessary or expedient for the more efficacious and
ready collection of his Imperial Majesty's revenue of
customs, and at the same time calculated to promote
the natural course of commercial improvement and
augmentation."
The two chief articles in the above are Nos. V. and
VIII. By No. V. it is shown that no differential du

ties are contemplated in favour of or against any
country. By the subdivisions of No. VIII. it is shown,
however, that some intentions exist of levying pro-
tective duties for the encouragement of the home
manufactures.. The effect which the mission of Mr.
Ellis may produce in that respect will probably de-
pend on the concessions he may be authorised to
make regarding the admission of Brazil sugars to
British ports.

MONEY MARKET and CI T Y NEWS,

FROM THIS MORNING PAM. OF THIS DAY. ;
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The English funds have exhibited a
good deal of activity to-day, and prices in general
have advanced. The symptoms of a rise for the last
two days have shown themselves, but now they ap-
pear in the most evident manner. Purchases for the
public increased to-day, and the result of this is the
improvement of Consols fpr Money to 93# to i, and
for the Account to 934 to i. The market for the
Reduced Stocks is supposed to have been favourably
influenced by the conclusion of a large bargain en-
tered into a few days ago, which now, by the delivery
of stock increasing the scarcity, has sent up quotations
to the point at present held.
Our letters from Amsterdam state that the Royal
Speech has not given much satisfaction, and that its

treaty itself, according to the information contained
in our letters, does not refer to a capitalization of the
part of the debt due by
Belgium, the sole object being
to establish the amount of that part, after deducting
what Belgium claims from Holland. That country
would have at its charge a certain portion of Two-

A Correspondent who, in the extent of his know-
ledge of banking affairs, probably represents a large
portion of the public, asks, in reference to the late
expose of the Bank of Manchester, whether the loss
of the capital is in such cases borne b 7 the depo-
sitors, or among the shareholders only. The answer
is, that so far as the capital oes or the effect of
g
legal proceedings can be brought to or
upon them,
the shareholders alone are the sufferers ; but instances
have occurred, in which, after exhausting these re-
sources, assets could not be found to meet the claims
of the depositors and other creditors, who have con-
sequently become partakers of the general loss,
though not to the same extent as the shareholders,
who in such cases lose everything. • It should be
stated, however, in the case of the Bank of Manches-
ter, that it has not stopped payment. Depositors con-
tinue to be paid as usual, and from the statements cir-
culated, can be in no sort of jeopardy. The share-
holders are coolly apprised of a loss, in round

but as the purchasers of shares in banking companies
also form a part of the public, equally entitled to pro-

injury has been and will be inflicted under one system
as under the other. The item of 800,000/. lost in two
or three years by the Bank of Manchester would form
a very good beginning of .the account.
The Shareholders of the Bank of Ceylon held their
first annual meeting to-day, at which was declared a
dividend of 6 per cent, for the years operation of the
Company. The Report of the Directors, and the ad-
dress from the Chair, represented the prospects of the
undertaking as highly promising, and the assistance
which the Government is affording is regarded as
satisfactory evidence of the good favour in which they
stand. On a capital already subscribed of 73,875/.,
the nett profits are stated at 6,653/. The English
hareholders have paid 68,730 L, and the Colombo
Shareholders 5,145/. • A branch bank has been opened
at Candy, and from the universal support the present
establishment has received at the hands of the mer-
chants, every success is anticipated.
The following communication relative to the Spanish
Treasury Bonds has been received from the Foreign-
office, by Mr. Tasker, Chairman of the Committee :___
"Foreign-office, Oct. 19, 1842. -.
" Sir,--I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th
inst.; containing a further exposition of the grievances
to which the British holders of the Spanish Treasury
Bonds of 1836 have been subjected by the failure of
the Spanish Government to discharge the pecuniary
obligations which it had contracted towards them ;

MURDEROUS ASSAULT AT
DUNDEE.
We glean the following particulars of the horrid
affair from the Dundee papers of Tuesday, and other
sources :
James Duff, the unfortunate sufferer in the melan-
choly affair, rents the farm of Whitefield, in the parish
of Kirkmichael ;. and Alexander M'Kenzie, the sup-
posed perpetrator of the horrid deed, rents the farm
of Drumhead, in the parish of Glenisla, both in For-
farshire. Both appear to be extensive cattle-dealers,
and in that capacity M'Kenzie purchased lately from
Duff cattle and sheep to the value of 1,1801., which
were to have been paid for on delivery. This, how-
ever, M'Kenzie did not do, but set off to the late Fal-
kirk Tryst for the purpose of selling them. Duff
having some suspicion that the money would not he
forthcoming, proceeded after M'Kenzie to Falkirk,
where he learned that some of the stock had been sold
by M'Kenzie at a less price than he
_promised
to pay for them. , The parties met, and Duff de•
manded his money; M'Kenzie, however, on tvarious
pretexts, evaded payment, and promised topay Duffon
reaching Edinburgh. The parties left Edinburgh
on Thursday morning, and arrived at Dundee at four
o'clock p.m., when they went to the house of Mrs.
Wallace, corner of Barrack-street, where tea was or-
dered. Before tea M'Kenzie went out, leaving Duff
alone. On Setting to the foot of the stair in Barrack-
street, M'lt.enzie desired Duff to wait till he
(M'Kenzie) went back for something; and Duff,
seeing a man smoking, went forward to get a light of
his pipe. .On being rejoined by M'Kenzie, they pro-
ceeded up Barrack-street, up the Constitution-road,
thence by the side of the Newtyle Railway, and
crossed the hill. by the east side of the Law. They
then proceeded through several parks, till M'Kenzie
entered the stripe of wood, and requested Duff to
follow him. It was nearly half-past six'o'Clock in the
evening. Duff was extremely anxious to keep out of
the wood, but at last consented to follow Al%enzi P
N
and enter it. They walked along through the wood
on a green ride lately formed •to the westward.
M'Kenzie then asked Duff to step before him, and he
had no sooner done so than he heard the report of a
pistol, and felt the contents lodged within him.
On receiving the murderous shot, which entered
the back between the left shoulder and spine, Duff
sniggered forward a few paces, and then looked over
his shoulder, when he saw M'Kenzie standing still.
Apprehensive that 111%€nzie would fire a second time,
or come up and despatch him, Duff exerted every
energy to push his way, till by the most extraordinary
exertions, he reaches the house of James White,
farm servant to Mr. Patullo, at Baldragon. On ar-
riving at the cottage he was unable to speak for some
time, but on recovering explained to the inmates of
the cottage, as correctly as he could, what had hap-
pened. Mr. Patullo immediately dispatched a mes-
senger on horseback into Dundee, for Dr. Cocks. The
medical gentleman found a small wound betwixt the
left shoulder and spine, which exhibited the appear-
ance of one caused by a shot from a gun or a smaller
weapon. During the night a deposition from Duff of
the facts of the case was taken down by James Thorns,
Esq., J.P., and information was conveyed to Dundee,
by Dr. Davidson. As to M'Kenzie, it appears that,
supposing Duff to be dead, he ran off towards Dundee.
He returned to Mrs. Wallace's within a few minutes
of eight o'clock, to sleep 411 night. He stood at the
door and inquired of the servant if Mrs. Wallace was
at home. Having received an answer that she was
expected to be in shortly, he went away, and returned
in less than an hour, bringing a young man, a nephew,
along with him, who is apprenticed with an ironmon-
ger in town. The young man slept with M'Kenzie
all night.
Information regarding the horrid event was also
sent to the police between eleven and twelve that night;
and CaptainMackison, with his usual vigilance, lostno
time in endeavouring to find out the murderer.
Guards were placed at the railway stations, and at the
steam-boats. Amons others, an officer was sent to

The abstract published of the balance-sheet of Mr.
Henry Baker, as exhibited in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy yesterday, has been viewed by commercial
men as no ordinary curiosity. Mr. Baker starts in
business 'as a Urn Exchange speculator on a capital
of 5,9741. 9s. 3d., and, with this bagatelle, he con-
trives to run into debt to the extent of little short of
half a million. The debit side of the account is
made chargeable with the sum of 34,3641. 16s. 10d.,
as due to "creditors," and with 386,2011. 3s. 3d.,
as the sum for which the bankrupt has come under
acceptance. There is, moreover, the large amount
of 103,9441. 17s. 7d. entered on both sides of the
balance sheet as "liabilities." Mr. Baker's " pro-
fits" are put down at 58,237/. ss, Ild., against which
there is an item of " depreciation in property" esti-
mated at 147,5601. 17s. 10d., and "losses" ascer-
tained, of 35,881/. 17s. Bd. The interest account
presents a sum of 15,361/. 3s. 6d., to which may be
added, in the shape of expenditure, for charges in
trade, 4,6381. 7s. 7d., and for personals from April
1, 1840, to Sept. 6,1842, 1,9891.65. 2d. For debts due
to the estate, and " property consigned abroad," the
creditors have the aggregate of 5,2p41. 9s. 9d. to look
to in reduction of their claims on Mr. Baker, and
property held by them amounting to 266,037/. 13s.
Ild. Such is our brief analysis of the abridged
balance-sheet of one of the individuals who had been
operating so extensively for " the rise " in corn.
SUN.—The English Funds retained their elasticity
up to the close of business, and there was a fair
demand for investment. Consols left off at 931 to
931 for Money, and 931 to 938 for Time. Exchequer
Bills were 575. prem., and India Bonds 475. to 495.
prem. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. touched 1011.
The statement of the Times relative to the suspen-
sion of two of the Surveyors-General of the Customs'
Department, is at least premature, no such occur-
rence, as we are credibly informed,
,having yet taken
place, as both parties were on dnty to-day.
The Foreign market retains its dull appearance,
except as regards Portuguese Stock, which, for some
unaccountable reason or otter, has been rather sought
after at a rise of nearly a half per cent. It cannot be
conceded that the prospects of Portugal are at all
bright, but the facility offered for the transaction of
business, by the allowanceof dealings in the converted
stock, partly account for the advance. The New

ENORMOUS EEL.--On Saturday afternoon one of
the largest, if not the largest, eels ever found in the
Tay, was captured at Inchyra. This monster of its.
species weighs 36ilbs., measures 5 feet 7 inches in
length, and 20 inches in girth at the thickest part. It
had with the flowing of the tide, in its perambulations,
landed behind a mud bank, where it so seemed to
enjoy itself by floundering about, as to forget the
likelihood of its return to the river being stopped by
the ebbing of the tide. Several persons connected
with the river police, who had observed it, watched
upon the beach until they saw escape impossible,
when they immediately attacked it with sticks anal
other weapons, and, after considerable labour, over-
came this great giant of his tribe. They sent him to
Perth, where he. has since been visited by crowds of
people at Mr. Buist's yard, Watergate.— Tyne Mer-

DEATH OF LORD EDWARD PELHAM CLINVON.—
We exceedingly regret to state that intelligence was
received at Clumber, on Tuesday morning last, of
the death -of Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, fifth
son of his Grace. the Duke of Newcastle, ,in the
Chinese Empire. His Loidship was born on the
18th February, 1816 ; went- out to that part of
the . world about a year ago, and was recently
promoted to a Lieutenancy. The full particulars
of this meiancliely event have not transpired ;
but we cannot void deeply sympathising with his
bereaved parent and relations ; and in this fading, we
are sure, numbers will pssrticipate in the neighbour-
hood of Retford, who knew and approved of tise manly
virtues of this noble scion of a._ family who was mulch
and deservedly respected by 'a numerous circle of
friends and admirers.—Doncaster Gazette.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 18.—The Second Chamber of
the States-General met yesterday. M. Van Darn,
President during the first session, took the chair, and
appointed two Committees to examine the re-election
and the election of the new Members. The Committee
having made their Reports, the Chamber proceeded
to chose by ballot their candidates for the office of
President during the session. The choice fell on M.
Gevers, M. Lugben, and Van Darn van Isselt. The
Chamber then adjourned.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—W. Ville, Esq., of
Hall Court, Mathon, om Tuesday ,morning suddenly
fell from a chair in his own house, and instantly ex -
pired. The deceased gentleman had arisen that Morn-
ing to breakfast in his usual -health, and had been out
with his fruit-pickers; on the- previous day he had
attended the County Sessions at Hereford. Imme-
diately on the occurrence of the accident, a neigbour-

THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.---This day being
the anniversary of the victory obtained by the immor-
tal Nelson over the combined •fleets of France and
Spain,
off Cape Trafalgar, on the 21st of October,
1805, the Victory, lying in Portsmouth Harbour as
the ordinary guard-ship, exhibits annually, upon the
occasion, a scene of extreme interest. The vessel is
decked throughout with flags andother naval insignia,
and a profusion of laurels and evergreens, which im-
part to her a very imposing appearance. A grand
dinner is given on board, at which the Ad-
miral presides in person, and,lif circumstances will
admit of it, the muster of that officer is held on that
especial day. A general invitation to dinner also is
issued to all the officers of the ships in commission in
the harbour. The animation that pervades the crew
upon the occasion, and the enthusiasm manifested by
the very few who fought by Nelson's side when he so
gloriously fell in the arms of victory, are well worthy a
description from the pen of some
.naval historian. There
are still surviving on board the Victory two of the
brave fellows who shared in the glories of which to-
day is the anniversary. William Booth, the boat-
swain's mate, who at the battle of Trafalgar was one
of Nelson's boys in the ward-room, and Philip Bar-
row, who fought by the ninth gun on the main
deck, are still old seamen on board. There are also
several others, who have since been appointed to the
Victory from the Royal Sovereign and other ships,
which were engaged in the above memorable action.
Among them is Mr. Hughes, the gunner, and Mr. Cator,
the additional acting-master. All the men who stood the
brunt on the.2lst October, 1805, belonging to the dif-
ferent ships in the harbour, dine on board the Victory
on this celebrated day, and are allowed grog cit/ libi-
tum to keep alive those patriotic feelings which the
-immortal hero of the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafal-
gar inspired his men with on the day of his death,

V.XTRAORDINARY OCClTRlExcos..elnYe..:terdar, as a
foreign brig was beating up the river against ;strong
north-west breeze and with the tide, just above Green-
wich Hospital, she was driven,' whilst endeavouring
to avoid some ballast barges, in collision with the bows
of the Dreadnought Seaman's Hospital ship. She, in
order to prevent the accident,: let go her anchor.
which got fouled by the haWser of another vessel.
The fore topsail of -the brig caught the well-known
lion figure head of the Dreadnought, forced him off his
legs, and capsized him overboard into the stream,
leavirq his tail behind. The . 'Carcase was sucked
alengside the Dreadnought. The tail, during the -
confusion, rolled from the bows through the chains
and nearly drifted away. The damage done was
1 abcut 51. or 61. This king of the forest had recently
had a new coating of gold, which, upon his being
hauled upon deck, was discovered to have been • much
injured by the fall. It measures nine feet from stem
to stern, and is about 16 hands high.
It will have been observed by our readers that two
lunatics have recently escaped from Bethlehem. One
was fortunately found ; but it is understood that the
other is secreted §ornewhere, and is now writing lead-
ing articles for the Morning Herald. His madness is
happily of an extremely mild' and by no means dan-
gerous character.—Punch. ' •
