CUTTER MATCH. On Saturday the great four-oared
cutter match between the London and Newcastle-on-Tyne
watermen, for £lOO a-side, came off. For the first quarter
of a mile they were oar and oar. The Londoners then took
the lead, maintained it the entire distance, and, after one of
the severest races ever witnessed, won by 200 yards. Bet-
ting was brisk at 5t04 on the Londoners. This is the same
Thames crew that carried off the prizes at Liverpool three
years ago, and, with one exception, the same that was vic-
torious against eight-oared boats of all nations at Havre de

PROJECTED ALLIANCES IN HIGH LIFE.-1t is rumoured
in the circles of ton, that a noble lord, holding office under
the late administration, is the accepted suitor of one of the
fairet debutants of the present season, nearly related to a
distinguished and venerable nobleman, chief minister to his
late majesty, and grand-daughter of a celebrated Whig states-
man. His lordship, who is heir-apparent to a Scottish earl-
dom, is in his 32nd year. The auspicious ceremony is ex-
pected to be performed in a few weeks. The matrimonial
alliance between the Rev. Lord !Inning and Miss Fellowes
is expected to be solemnised in the course of the week at
Ramsay Abbey, near Huntingdon, the seat of E. Fellowes,
Esq., M.P., brother of the fair bride elect. The Earl of
Bective's marriage with Miss Thompson took place on
Thursday last. Lord Charles Beauclerk will lead to the
altar in a few days Miss Stopford. The preliminaries of a
marriage are said to be adjusted between Miss Somerset,
daughter of Lieutenant-General Lord Edward Somerset,
K.C.8., and cousin to the Duke of Beaufort and Henry
Marryatt, Esq.—Horning Herald.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE ANTI-CORN LAW
LEAGUE.—The leaguers now assembled in London are again
troubling ministers with requests for interviews. The fol-
lowing is the reply which the Duke of Wellington has re-
turned to this request :

" London, July 16, 1842.
" Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his
compliments to Mr. Taylor.
"He is not in office in the Queen's political service. He
is not entrusted with the exercise of political power. He has
no control over those who are.

" He begs to be excused for declining to receive the visits
of deputations from associations, or of individual gentlemen,
in order to converse with him upon public affairs.
" But if any gentlemen think proper to give him, in wri-
ting, information or instruction upon any subject, he will
peruse the same with attention.
" D. A. Taylor, Esq., Brown's Hotel.
" The duke has received three notes from Mr. Taylor on
this subject."

BRIGHTON.---MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday

morning, about 8 o'clock, as a fly-driver, named Wood, was
proceeding with his fly from his stables to the stands on the
Mirine-parade, Brighton, to commence his avocations for
the day, the horse took fright while passing down Bedford-
street, and starting off at full speed, bolted across the
Marine-parade and jumped over the railings which guard the
cliffe. The driver was thrown off and fell to the beach, a
depth of about 100 feet. When assistance arrived, the poor
fellow was not quite dead. He was then immediately con-
veyed to the Sussex County Hospital, where every attention
was paid to him by the officers of that institution, notwith-
standing which, however, death soon put an end to his
sufferings. The poor animal, having completely cleared the
rails, hung suspended over the cliff, counterbalanced by the
vehicle, which remoined on the other side for nearly half an
hour, when ropes having been passed securely under him,
the harness was cut and the shafis of the fly broken, and he
was then lowered to the beach, where be was found to have

A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Acraman, Morgans,
and Co., the large iron founders of Bristol, took place on
Friday, in that town. The liabilities of the firm are esti-
mated at about £300,000, in addition to those of their several
estates. Debts to the amount of nearly £84,000 were proved.
Treasurers and assignees were elected. On Monday another
"-- was held, when an application was made to prove a
£1,608. 125.. consisting of three bills of exchange
firm of D. E. and A. Acraman, and accepted by
them. These three bills had been originally consolidated in
one, but had been renewed in their present form in con-
sideration of a guarantee for payment given by the firm of
Aeramans, Morgan, and Co. The debt bad been proved
against the estate of Messrs. D. E. and A. Acraman, and
Mr. Stone now objected to the proof being admitted. He
contended that the letter of guarantee was not a document
binding on the firm, as it was written by one member of that
firm only, and not on account of a transaction within the
ordinary scope of the business of the firm. After a long
deliberation, the commissioners said they could not legally
admit the proof. This decision, it is said, affects claims to
the amount of £20,000 ; and it is probable that further pro-
ceedings in the matter will be taken.
EXECUTION OF BYRNES AND QUILTY.--CLONMEL,
SATURDAY, JULY 16.—These wretched culprits underwent
the extreme sentence of the law this day, in front of the
county prison. From the passing of the awful sentence up
to the last moment of their existence, they conducted them-
selves with the utmost propriety of demeanor, and with that
resignation to their fate which gave proof that they hoped
for forgiveness in another and a better worlds Byrnes was
much affected in his bodily strength and appearance, but was
by no means dejected or terrified at the thought of death ;
but Quilty was wholly unchanged, and met his fate with the
greatest fortitude, which was evinced from the moment he
was put on trial until the executioner performed his duty.
Both culprits slept well last night. They retired to bed
at eleven o'clock, rose at half-past six, washed and dressed
themselves in their best clothes, and remained from seven
until nine at their religious duties, accompanied by the Rev.
Messrs. Mullens and Burke, who celebrated mass in the
chapel of the prison at that hour, and again attended the un-
happy convicts in their cells until the moment the Sub-Sheriff,
Mr. S. Cambie, came to summon them to the place of exe-
cution. At twelve o'clock strong detachments of military
and police, including infantry and dragoons, were drawn up
in a circle round the fatal scaffold, at which the convicts ar-
rived, accompanied by the pious clergymen abovementioned,
in about half an hour afterwards. Byrnes first made his ap-
pearance, and attempted to address the immense assemblage
who were congregated on the occasion ; but the only words
audible were—" I hope you will pray for our souls." Quilty
came out immediately afterwards, and, in a firm and audible
voice, said, " I am now going to meet my God, and could
not hope for salvation if 1 were to die with a lie in my mouth;
and, in the face of Heaven, and before you all, I declare that
I am wholly innocent of the crime of which I have been con-
victed. I had neither hand, act, or part in it, directly or in-

meeting

--.Y. I hope you will all pray for us. I forgive my
prosecutors and all others who have injured me, and I hope
I will be forgiven myself." The executioner having adjusted
the ropes upon both culprits, the reverend gentleman again
joined them in prayer; the bolt was withdrawn in two or
three ee minutes afterwards and they were launched together
eternity. Byrnes died almost without a struggle, but
guilty was dreadfully convulsed, and did not cease to exist
for three minutes. After hanging the usual time, the bodies
were _ cut d
and buried within the precints of the
prit„son,.ReuglZe.

IMFOTAI.4 TTO INCOME-TAX PAYERS.—It may be some
consolation for those persons who are to be assessed under
schedule D, that they are not obliged to submit themselves
to local commissioners, as, under the 31st section of the act,
they can deliver their returns sealed, directed to the special
commissioners (which cannot be opened either by the general
or assistant commissioners), and upon the amount being de-
termined by them they can give a certificate to the appellant
so that he may pay his assessment quarterly, under some
letter or number, without his name even being mentioned.
CAST. IRON BUlLDlNGS.—Buildings of cast-iron are daily
increasing at a prodigious rate in England, and it appears
that houses are about to be constructed of this material. As
the walls will be hollow, it will he easy to warm the buildings
by a single stove placed in the kitchen. A three-story house
containing ten or twelve rooms, will not cost more than
£l,OOO, regard being had to the manner in which it may be
ornamented. Houses of this description may be taken to
pieces, and transported from one place to another, at an ex-
pense of not more than £25. It is said that a large number
of cast-iron houses are about to be manufactured in Belgium
and England, for the citizens of Hamburg, whose habitations
have been burnt.--Mining Journal.
M E LANCHOLT EVENT.—On Thursday week several vessels
sailed from IVlaryport with coals for Ireland, and amongst
the rest, a fine brig belonging to Bangor, called the Sophia.
In the course of the day it came on to blow a gale of wind,
with a heavy sea and very coarse weather, when the Sophia
sprung a leak, and suddenly went down, with all hands on
board, viz.—Captain IVl`Kee, a remarkably fine young man,
the mate Ferguson, and three young sailors, two of them the
sons of widows. The master was unmarried, but the mate
Ferguson has left a wife and family. A Carrickfergus vessel
was within a quarter of a mile of the Sophia when she sunk,
but did not see any of the unfortunate crew, nor a single
spar arise from the wreck.—Belfast Chronicle.

By the Great Liverpool, from Alexandria, we have re-
ceived private letters from China, which mention the return
of Sir Henry Pottinger to Hong-Kong, from Macao, and
his intention to join the expedition in the north in 10 days,
and proceed with it to Pekin. 'The general opinion at Macao
and Hong-Kong was, that the plenipotentiary was resolved,
to take all responsibility on himself, and direct the most de-
cisive measures to be adopted to bring the war to a close, by
a simultaneous attack on Pekin by the land and sea forces.
The plenipotentiary's well-known firmness of purpose, and
his tact in keeping the naval and military authorities in
good humour, promise the most happy results; and we may
soon expect to hear of the British flag being planted in
Pekin, and the Emperor of China having acceded to the
reasonable terms our arms have been sent to enforce. We
have good reason for stating that two or three of the most
important positions for trade will be retained, and that a
large naval and military force will be permanently stationed
in China, for the future security of British commerce.—
Naval and Military Gazette.
THE LATE DUKE OF ORLEANS.—In addition to the de-
tails which we have already given of the deeply deplored
accident which has deprived France of the heir to her throne,
and the Royal family of its most distinguished member, we
have gathei-ed the following :—The Prince Royal left the
Tuilleries in the carriage we have described, but it is not
true, as has been reported< that the horses were frightened
by the falling down upon them of a front boot, as the car-
riage had no boot or seat on the fore wheels. Every part of
the carriage was in perfect order, having been carefully ex-
amined in the morning, a duty uniformly performed pre-
viously to any of the Royal carriages being used by the
family. The horses were not frightened by anything, nor
did they suddenly run away. The accident arose in the fol-
lowing manner :—The Duke of Orleans, in returning from
Paris, was accustomed to take the avenue leading from the
Porte Maillot to his residence of Villiers, and from thence
obtained entrance to the park of Neuilly by the gate which is
opposite to this avenue. Bat on Wednesday his Royal
Highness wished to go by the road which crossed Sablonville
obliquely to the old Neuilly road, and then enter the park by
the grand gate. Having been driven very fast, the horses,
on reaching the Porte Maillot, became excited, and in spite
of all the exertions of the postillion, took the road to which
they were habituated, instead of the diagonal road the Prince
intended to go. Finding themselves approaching their
stables, the animals became still more eager, and the horse
the boy rode kicked out several times, and struck the cross-
bar, which, from the nature of the carriage, came rather
close to his haunches. Then it was that the Duke stood up,
and fancying that the postillion had lost all command of his
horses, called to him. The boy replied that he still held
them, and in fact the hand-horse was perfectly temperate,
the lad firm in his seat and pulling at the bridle. Not suc-
ceeding in getting them into a trot, the Prince, who was ex-
tremely expert in gymnastic exercises, attempted to do what
he had frequently practised before while his carriage was
moving, but probably not with the same velocity. He put
one foot on the step, and then sprang to the ground. The
fatal consequences are too well known. They are sadly
aggravated by the fact, that had his Royal Highness forborne
but a feVY minutes longer, he would have been spared to his
family and country. It is presumed that the Prince saw that
if the horses continued to be unmanageable, the carriage must
be overturned with great violence over some heaps of stones
which were laid on the side of the road for the purpose of
repairing it.—Galignani's Messenger.

WRY IS FRUIT SO CHEAP ?—lt is a fact not generally
known, that at the commencement of the fruit season 2,000
baskets of cherries were imported from France into this
country, each basket weighing 61b. The consequence was,
that the English growers were under the necessity of sub-
mitting at the outset of the cherry season to a very low price
for this article. The effect, however, of this early importa-
tion was principally felt in the south of England, where the
supply of home-grown cherries has proved unexpectedly
abundant, and of this abundance the people of Yorkshire
are now largely partaking. A fortnight ago 420 baskets of
cherries, each 48th. weight, arrived at the Leeds market,
per railway, from Kent. This arrival reduced the price at
Leeds ld. per lb., but its effect upon the wholesale dealers
was somewhat serious, it being their custom to purchase
from the growers in this neighbourhood, whose practice it is
to arrive at the market very early, and dispose of their fruit
to the dealers before the regular market business begins.
This large importation of cherries from Kent being unknown
to them until after their usual purchases had been made, they
of necessity had to submit to a considerable reduction on
what would otherwise have been the market price. We
understand that the low price of cherries in this neighbour-
hood is not so much owing to importation from abroad as to
the abundance of this article in the south—an abundance
which has for many years existed, but which, prior to the
opening of the railways; could not be participated in by the
Yorkshire people, in consequence of the serious injury which
the fruit sustained in the unsteady mode of transport by stage
coach, or the protracted journey of the carrier's waggon, or
the fly-boat and steam-vessel. In Bent, cherries are said to
be so plentiful now, that had there not been a ready outlet
to this and the neighbouring districts by railway, the greater
part of them must have been thrown away. Large imports
of red currants from France have already arrived in the
metropolis and many of the provincial towns, and they are
generally preferred to the home-grown fruit. Apples and
pears also are now being brought in from Hamburgh and
Rotterdam, and abundant supplies are expected during the
season. Indeed, so extensive has the foreign fruit trade
become, that we have heard that several persons in this
neighbourhood are about to take up their residence in France
and Hamburgh during the summer, for the express purpose
of purchasing fruit to forward to England.—Leeds Mercury.

SUMS IN AID OF PUBLIC WORKS IN ENGLAND AND
SCOTLAND, SINCE 1800.—By a parliamentary return just
printed, we find that, since the year 1800, the following sums
have been voted or applied, by loan or grant, in aid of public
works in England and Scotland respectively, since the year
1801, omitting fractional parts of pounds :

_
Communications with Ireland .
Canals (the Caledonian, and the Crinan)
Harbours, docks, lighthouses, &c.
Roads, bridges, and ferries 1,203,249
Fisheries (bounties, £51,000) 84,848
Improvements of cities and towns .. ......
Churches (in Scotland, £67,945)
Colleges (Edinburgh, £137,250)
Prisons, and other places of confinement
Relief of poor 56,536

9,329,255
Advances by commissioners for issuing exchequer
bills for public works and employment of poor . 6,332,150

Total
With respect to the largest sum in the above account, that
for harbours, docks. &c. it includes £92,497 advances to the
West India (London) and the Liverpool docks, since repaid.
As to roads, bridges, and ferries, with the exception of
£623,000 for London bridges, it is nearly all for roads in
Scotland. Under the head " Improvements in cities and
towns," no other city or town has received any thing except
the metropolis ; the improvements in Westminster amount-
ing to £333,634 ; and those in Regent-street, the Strand, &c.
to £909,323. Under the head " Churches," we find that
churches in Westminster have derived the benefit of £52,768 ;
the exchequer bills issued by the commissioners for building
churches have amounted to £1,500,000 ; in addition to this,
the expenses of the commission for building churches have
been £83,397 •, and £67,945 for churches in Scotland includes
an item of £5,000 for the hall for the general assembly,
Edinburgh. As to colleges, £27,500 has been applied for
the College of Surgeons, London ; £5,000 for the College of
Surgeons, Edinburgh ; and £132,250 for the college at Edin•
burgh. As to prisons, £126,201 (including £62,477 for the
model prison) is the amount voted or applied to the building
and repair of prisons in the metropolis; £492.933 to the
Penitentiary at Millbank ; £94,619 to Bethlehem Hospital
(for criminal lunatics, &c.) ; and £67,743 to prisons in other
parts of the kingdom,—viz. Sheerness, Edinburgh, Isle of
Man, Dartmoor, Isle of Wight, and Perth. The amount
set down for poor relief is composed of the following items :
In 1801, Bethnal Green, £24,226; 1805, Orkney and Shet-
land, £11,715; 1826, the manufacturing districts (from canal
revenues), £13,866; and 1837, Scotland, £6,749.
STATE OF TRADE.—We are happy to be enabled to state,
that the improvement which manifested itself last week has
continued down to the present time ; and that a more healthy
feeling prevails in the market than at any period for some
time past. The large sales of produce made under the
operation of the new tariff have liberated a considerable
amount of capital which had been for some time locked up,
thereby placing additional means at the disposal of the more
active and enterprising merchants of the country ; and, as a
general impression prevails that the prices of cotton manu-
factures are now at their lowest point, the inclination to make
purchases for foreign markets has become more general.
Since Tuesday last a very considerable amount of business
has been done in shirtings, domestics, and other goods suit-
able for shipping, and also as in yarn, especially in the num-
bers and qualities adapted to the Russian market. In print-
ing cloth no improvement has yet been manifested; but we
understand that some considerable orders for prints have
been received from the West Indies, Canada, and the United
States ; so that it is to be hoped that that description of
cloth, which is now much depressed, will, ere long, partici-
pate in the general increase of demand. It is necessary to
observe, however, that, hitherto, even in the fabrics that are
selling the most freely, little or no improvement of price has
yet been realized. In some descriptions of shirtings, an
advance of lid. to 3d. per piece was demanded on Tuesday by
the principal manufacturers; but it was not generally, if at
all, acceded to by the purchasers ; and the amount of busi-
ness done was to some extent limited by the demand. In-
deed, it is not very probable that any substantial improve-
rntthoeenp working
ooienrukprienrices can take place, until, by the result of a good
harvest, or by a change of the' corn-laws, the great bulk of
