"Sir,—Herewith I have the honour to-transmit a piece of
paper found in a bottle that drifted in on 31, Tower station, on
the morning of the 21st inst. It may possibly be the means of
determining the fate of some vessel -which at present is un-
known. (Signed) ~ D. MAYNE."
(COPY.)—" Daniel England, John Yeats, in lat. 2.5 deg. 38
min. N., long. 16 deg. 40 min. \V.; heavy gale, blowing front
N.B. for three days, and on the thired it increased to a hurri-
cane, which took all our masts out of her, and washed the cap-
tain, mate, and seven hands overboard. After labouring 41 great
deal, she sprung a leak three streaks below water. p.m.
settling down fast."

MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS.—WiIIiam Deni-
son, Esq., and Hall flanitnitts, Esq. are the commissioners ap-
pointed for determining the boundaries of the divisions of the
boroughs of Preston, Lancaster, Clithero, and Leeds. They
commenced their labours at Leeds on Thursday week.
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVE' ASSOCIATION.--The
conservatives of this county celebrated their anniversary by a
dinner at the Greyhound Inn, in the city of Peterborough, on
Thursday last. Colonel Vaughan officiated as chairman, in
the absence of Sir John Trollope, the president of the associa-
tion. About two hundred members were present.

LISCA RD POWDER MAO AziNE.—We understand that a pub-
lic meeting of the inhabitants of Wallasey, is intended to be held
at Egremont Hotel, on Thursday next, to
.consider, the propri-
ety of applying to parliament for an act to remove this highly
dangerous . depot, in which application, we think, the authori-
ties of Liverpool should join, as we are informed the quantity
of gunpowder kept there is so great. varying from twenty to
forty thousand casks, as to endanger the safety or the town. At
Ilounslovr, where an explosion of only twenty barrels lately
occurred, the effect was felt for several miles, and considering
the number of buildings erecting in the vicinity of the store-
houses at Liscard, it becomes absolutely necessary this depOt
should removed, as a flash of lightning or a spark from a
chimney, or many other accidents, may at once make the pro-
position for considering their removal too late, as the inhabit-
ants of Liverpool as well as Cheshire would painfully bud.—
(Frorre a Correspondent.)--[The awful responsibility incurred
from keeping so large a magazine of powder may be conceived
when we state that if the depot were to explode, not only the
whole of the buildings and property on the Cheshire side would
•be destroyed, but that the whole of the clock gates, locks, walls,
warehouses, and other buildings on this side, and approximat-
ing to the river, would share the same fate. In fact, more da-
mage would be done to property in a few minutes than it would,
be possible for all the wealth in Liverpool to restore in twenty
:years.—E. L. S.

PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRT DGE.—On Thursday af'ernoon,
he arrived `by the Railway, from Heaton Park, where he had
-been to attend the races given by the Earl of Wilton. His
,Royal Highness and suite took up their residence at the King'S
,Arms, and on Friday, about noon, made•his appearance .pion
'Change, accompanied by Alderman Sir Thomas Brancker,
(in the absence of the Mayor,) Sir John Tobin, &c. He was
received with the most enthusiastic cheers by the merchants
:assembled, without distinction of politics, and on entering the
newsroom, which was extremely filled, the plaudits were renew-
ed. After visiting the Town-hall, the Underwriters' Room, and
the principal objects of attraction, his Royal Highness returned
to Manchester by the two o'clock train. He is a youth of very
prepossessing appearance, of light complexion, and tall for his
age. which is sixteen, having been born on the 26th of March,
1819. lie was very plainly dressed, and, when in the Exchange-
rooms, he repeatedly bowed with much grace, in acknowledg-
ment of the cheers with which he was saluted.

paper on a double. sheet, for the purpose of presenting their
readers, gratuitously, with a complete and universal almanack,

porations bill.
Judging from the last returns of those who have claimed to
vote for Middlesex, there is likely to he an important change in
the repreientation of the county at the next general election.
It is rumoured that Mr. Hume will have no objection to trans-
fer his services to the city of Westminster, if the electors of that
city are disposed to accept there. •
DOVER, SEPT. 23.—0 n Monday the Doke of Wellington
paid an unexpected visit to the harbour works, having come
from Walmer Castle, where he arrived at midnight on Satur-
day. His Grace's occasional appearance is very desitab:e, being
usually followed by the removal of some obstruction or nuisance
which ought not to exist.—Kent
