Doøtørfipt. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19. We have received the Paris journals of Monday. We learn from the Debats that the French government has received official accounts of the taking of Colonia on the 31st of August, by the allied English and French squadrons, and a flotilla from Montevideo, having on board a force of about 450 men, chiefly Italian refugees. The resis'ance of the garrison was a vigorous one whilst it lasted, but the besieging force received no injury. The horrors of the siege were increased by the breaking out of a fire in the town. which raged during a part of the night of the 30th of August. On the 31st, the garrison and nearly the whole of the inhabitants evacuated the town, and the Montevidean troops, with detachments from the British and French ships, landed. The Montevidean troops committed sad excesses They broke open and pillaged the houses and stores, got drunk in the streets, and even made a drinking table of the altar of the church. The British and French sailors,it appears, took no part in these excesses, but applied themselves assiduously to the repair of the fortifications, and to mounting a new battery with guns taken from the ships. When something like order had been restored, the otvti was given up 10 a Montevidean garrison, Mid the allied squadrons returned to Monte- video.—A Toulon letter of the 13th says:—" A brig of war arrived here to-day from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, which she left on the 9th of September. She brings despatches for the government. We learn, that in consequence of the intervention of the naval forces of France and England Oribe has abandoned the siege of Montevido. and Rosas has declared war against the two Powers." PRIVY COUNCIL-MOST of the Cabinet Ministers will return to town in the course of a few days, when a Privy Council will be held for the purpose of consider- ing to what day Parliament shall be prorogued from the 27th inst., to which time it now stands adjourned. WINTER CIRCUIT.—Mr. Baron Baron Parkeand Mr. Justice Williams will hold a Winter Assize at Liverpool, and Mr. Baron Platt at York. No other Assizes are to be held this winter.-The Times. THE ALLEGED MURDEK ON BOARD THE "TORY. The inquiry into this case (see p. 2 of our Supplement) was resumed at the Thames Police Court at one o'clock to-day. The seamen, sixteen in all, on being placed at the bar, ap- peared much improved in appearance, and Gair, the wounded man, had his head shaved, and covered all over with patches. Mr. Clarkson opened the case by recapitulating the statement he made on a former occas on. He said that having been informed by the owners of the ship, through information derived from the captain, he had caused the men to be taken up on the arrival of the Tory, on the charge of attempting to revolt off the Island of Ascension, and carrying off the ship with her valuablo cargo. The object of the owners was to obtain the strictest and fullest inquiry. Since that time cer- tain disclosures had been made which had operated on the minds of the owners to abandon the charge brought against the men. He would not make reference to the charge on which the captain had since been taken up, beyond correct- ing a statement which had gone abroad, that at the time the captain was taken into custody he was contemplating going abroad. Such was not true. This he stated in justice to that pqrty. In conclusion, he was now instructed to abandon the charge against all the men.—Mr. Broderip In that case there is no evidence against the men, and they must be dis- charged. This declaration was received with loud cheers by a crowded Court, which was instantly suppressed by the officers in attendance.—Mr. Ballantine said he had a remark to make before the men left the Court. It was this -that so far from their being pirates, it was through their good con- duct, passive endurance, Christian submission, and sailor like fortitude, that tin ship ever touched this country. The men left the bar without a blemish on their characters, and no party need be ashamed to employ them in a similar service to that in which they had been engaged.—Mr. Broderip said that, looking at the whole case, he thought it very strange that the captain, on arriving on the coast, should not have appealed to the civil power, instead of putting the men in irons. This was a very extraordinary proceeding. There was now nothing left him but to dismiss the men from the bar.—The seamen then left amidst manifestations of the greatest satisfaction from all present. POST-OFFJCE REGULATION WJTH REFERENCE TO THE TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—Considerable misappre. hension has for some time existed with reference to the fol- lowing point in the practice of the Post office—the right of newsvendors, and the public generally, to write the name of the sender, or the initials of such party, in addition to the address of the person to whom such newspaper is intended to be delivered. It has been thought by many persons that it is perfectly legal to do so, and the practice to a consider- able degree has been pursued, to the delay of the body of mails and the annoyance of the authorities, as well as the vexation of the public, whose papers have consequently been charged with postage, according to their weight. Vendors and others, however, may now be aware that such practice is contrary to the regulation of the Post-office but as a most valuable concession, on the part of the Postmaster- General, has been made in favour of the bona fidt newspaper dealer (that of the right to have his name and address printed upon the cover), the following letter, from the assistant-secretary of the Post-office to a newspaper agent, is subjoined, by which it will be perceived that the question is now set at rest by official authority :— Genervl Post-office, Nov. 13, 1845. S'.r«—I beg to inform you that the enclosed newspaper cannot be forwarded without lull-letter pontage, in consequence of your name and address being written opon the cover. I beg to add that liewsvendors are allowed to have their names and addresses printed on the covers of newspapers, but that they are not per- mitted to write them. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "THOMAS LAWRENCE, Assistant Secretary. Mr. William Lawrence, 12. Great Trinity-lane, City." CONFIRMATION OF THR ELECTION OF THE BiSHoP OF BATH AND WELLS.—On Wednesday last, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the solemn ceremonial of the con- firmation of the election of the Bishop of Bath and Wells (late Bishop of Oxford) took place at Bow Church, Cheapside, in the presence of a numerous congregation. Among those present on the occasion were Dr. Burnaby, Vicar-General, Dr. Phillimore, the Proctor, Dr. Lee and Dr. Twist, the Counsel, Mr. Bedford and Mr. J. H. Tyhe, the Registrars, and the Rev. Mr. Trollope, the Curate of the Church. The oaths having been administered in due form, and the proper service read, the newly-made Prelate retired, receiving the congratulations of his friends, and the bells of Bow Church rang the Bishop's peal. MELANCHOLY KVUNT. — About three weeks back, a gentleman connected with the Welsh Midland Railway came: down to Brecon, to assist the engineers and solicitors in making out the book of reference on the line. When he ar- rived at Brecon he complained of being unwell, and it was, therefore, arranged that he should rest for a few days, and he accordingly took up his abode at the Castle Hotel, where every comfort and attention was certain of being received. On the following day, the unfortunate gentleman went out for a walk, and was never heard of till Saturday evening week, when he was discovered lying quite dead in some straw, in a barn near the town. From the decomposed state of the body, it is certain he must have died about the period he was lost sijiht of. An inquest was held on Monday, before Thomas Batt, Esq., and a highly-respectable jury. A post mortem examination of the body having been made, and no appear- ance of violence or other cause of death being indicated, so as to tend to the supposition that the deceased came to his death otherwise than by natural causes, a verdict was re- turned accordingly. The name of the unfortunate individual was Young he was about 24 years of age, and a native of London.

The Queen and Prince Albert continue at Windsor, w' ,t re they take a good deal of walking exercise. Her Majesty rode out with Princess Augustus of Saxe Coburg on Monday, and the Prince accompanied Prince Albert to hunt with the harriers. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Constnnline of or Russia arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday morn- jttcr, shortly before daybreak. His Royal Highnes was on board the Russian frigate Ingermanland, bearing the tiag of Msnira! Bruhl. which vessel, accompanied hv a corvette, came to anchor within the breakwater at an e'1rlv hour. Ai eight o'clock his Royal Highness wns saluted by her Majesty's ship Queen. Captain Sir H. J. Leeke, the flag-ship, alld by the Citadel. The Russian vessel shortly afterwards returned the salute. Gap ain Ibbetson and Lady Adele Ibbetson were married agreeably to the forms of the Established Church at St. Paneras New Church, by the very Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell, on Monday. We have to announce the death of the Earl ofVeru- lam. which took place on Monday, after an illness of some months, at Gorhanbnry Park. His Lordship is sm ceeded in his titles by Viscount Grimston, M.P for Hertfordshire. A vacancy is thus created in the re- presentation of that county. The Right Hon. Wm Dundas died at Quarry house, S' Leonard's on-Sea, on Friday. Lord Hartland died on the 11th instant, at Stokes- tUI\ n house, Roscommon. Ireland. We have 'o announce the death of the Dowager Ladv Holland, who expired on Monday morning at her resi- dence in South-s'reet. The deceased was taken seri- ously ill on Sunday se'nnight, and since that day has gr-i-iually sunk under the attack. Her Ladyship, who ,H d lughtrr and heir of Mr. R. Vassal!, of Jamaica, ■» as in her 76' h year. She first married the late Sir G. Vt muster, of Battle Abbey, Sussex, but that marriage was dissolved bv Act of Parliament "hen, on the 9th of July, 1797, she married the la e Lord Holland, by whom she leaves issue Lord Holland, her Britannic Majesty's Minister at the Court of Tuscany, Lady IJ ;ord. &c. Colonel and Lady Marv Fox, Sir Henry ami Lady Webster, and several families of rank, are 1 W.crd in mourning by her death. '.v e regret to h"ar that the Lord Chancellor is much indisposed The attack under which his Lordship suff. rs is understood to be of a nature from which great weakness and prosrration may be expected, even after the disorder itself shall have been overcome and it is not therefore improbable that the Noble and Learned Lord may be preveuted for some considerable time fror.. resuming :he exercise of the arduous duties which he has hitherto so ahly discharged. If this unfortunate circumstance should occur, it is said that the great seal will be put into commission and Sir Edward Sugden, Mr. Baron Parke, and Mr. Biron Alderson, are spoken of as likely to be entrusted with the performance, ad interim, of he functions of the Lord Chancellor. I The Marchioness of Bute, we are happy to bear,bas nearly recovered from her recent indisposition. Government has determined upon making a great harbour of refuge at Dover, and the works will be com- menced at an early period. The Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P., was entertained on Thursday, to a public dinner, in the Townhall, Bir- mingham, in testimony of his efforts for promoting the principle of free trade. More than 700 persons were present. The cases of the ten foreigners connected with the Felicidade and Echo, and now under sentence of death for piracy and murder, were argued before the Judges in the Court of Exchequer on Saturday, but no day was fixed on which the Judges would declare their opinion. The election of a Master of Catharine Hall, Cam- bridge, to succeed the late Rev. Dr. Proctor, took place a! six o'clock on Friday morning. The choice of the Fellows fell upon the Rev. Henry Plulpott, B.t). The new M aster was Senior Wrangler, second Smith's Prizeman, and a first-class Ciassic in the year 1829. A seat (or sinecure) in the Prerogative Office is likely to become vacant, by Mr. Capes having gone over to the Church of Rome. The salary" is, we believe, 15001. a-year —Globe. At the Brentford Petty Sessions, on Monday, six railway surveyors were convicted on a charge of tres- pass on the grounds of Mr. Wilmor, at Isteworth, and sentenced to a fine of II each, with a warning that the highest penalty would be enforced in case of future delinquency. The rumour which has been current at Windsor since Tuesday lasl, that Mr. Neville was about to receive a government appointment, which would necessarily compel him to vacate his seat for the borough, resolved itself this morning into amors definite shape; the report (which is generally credi'ed) now being, that Mr. Ne- ville is to have a commissioi ership (said to be of Cus toms), to which a salary is attached of 1,2001. a year. In that event another election for the borough would not be far distant. On Tuesday night, owirg to a rope giving way at the colliery between Woodhonse and Dronfie'.d, an unfortunate man, named Holdsfield, was precipitated down the pit, a distance of 40 yards, falling feet fore- most on to the head of his master, Mr. Joseph Corner, who was on the landing below. The weight of the fall forced both men through the landing into the water, 10 yards in depth, whence they were got out dead in about twelve hours afterwards. PRESENTS TO HER MAJESTY AND PIUVCE ALBERT. -Prince Albert honoured Mr. Lane, a manufacturer of Bir- mingham, accompanied by Mr. Muntz and Mr. Spooner, the Members for the Borough, with an audience on Thursday, when the former had the honour to present to her Majesty and the Prince some splendid specimens of his new invention of enamelling pearl on glass. The presents to her Majesty consist of a very elegant pair of fire screens. The ground of the enamelling is white of the purest character, and very clear, on which are painted the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, the national colours being introduced. The Im- perial Crown is introduced, with all the brilliant effects of the jewels, &c., represented in mother-of-pearl; beneath this is a dove in mother-of-pearl, with an olive branch. Saint George destroying the Dragon appears amongst the devices, and around him is an illuminated foliage. The brilliancy and variety of the tints are surprising; they resemble the gay and golden effect of the feathers on the neck of the mallard, or what is called the shot in certain manufactures of silks, and radiate as the surfaces are exposed to the diversities of light and shade. The present to his Royal Highness is an elegantly designed chess-board or table. The board is formed of ena- melled glass and pearl, surrounded by a very gorgeous and elaborately worked border of papier mache. The squares of the boards are surrounded by quatre foils; they contain al- ternately the lion and unicorn beautifully picked out in pearl and gold, and most delicately tinted. The rose, thistle, and shamrock are introduced, minutely accurate in the outline and colouring; the queen bee is also amongst the detailed portions, whilst a frame of dolphins in pearl on green ground, to represent the sea, forms the exterior limit of the whole. The pillar by which the table is supported is of the richest and most highly gilt and coloured papier mache or japan. The combination of glass and mother-of-pearl produces an admirable effect; it is more vivid than the ancient painted glass, and has a somewhat semi-opaque appearance. The enamelling is of great strength, and as durable as the hardest marMe.—A patent has been taken out for the manufacture, no specimen having as yet been offered to the public. The Prince made a minute examination, and inquired into the mode of manufacture. Specimens of the invention in all its various stages were produeed. His Royal Highness was graciously pleased to express great satisfaction, and conde- scendingly accepted the screens on the part of her Majesty, and the chess-table presented to himself. TRIAL BY JfRY —In the Court of Queen's Bench, lately, Mr. Sergeant Halcomb applied for a new trial in an action of ejectment tried at the last Assize for Nottingham, when a verdict was returned for the defendants; upon the gronnd that thipe of the defendants actually served upon the jury, one of them acting as the foreman of the body The Learned J'ergeant said that they had all been objected to, but that they had persisted in remaining in the box and deciding the calle. They of course returned a verdict in favour of themselves. Lord Denman thought the mere statement of the objection to be sufficient, ana the Conrt granted the role. SHOCKING CASE OF SEDUCTION.—A shocking case of seduction has been bronghf to light rh s week at Hnnslet. The voting ladv is of a m"st respectable and well known family in that place a-d the supposed seducer is the assist. ant Curate of Hnnslet Chapel, the Rev. —. Sweet, a yonng married man with f'"r children. The gentleman denies his guilt; but a corre'poudence has come to light which proves it beyond all df'bt and such is the popular indignation that when, on Thursday evening, Mr. Sweet went to the house of the lady, the honse was surrounded by women and others threatening to pnll him in pieces. Application being made to tbi police-office, a strong body of police were sent to rescue the culprit from his besiegers and he was brought off in f coach to Leeds, having narrowly escaped with his life. The crime is the most horrible as the seduction appears to have been planned when the seducer was attending the young lady's mother nn her death bed.—Leeds Mercury. POTA To CROP.- The all-engrossing topic continues to be the disease in the potato crop. The fine weather ex- perienced during the last three or four weeks has been favour- able for digging up this root, and the greater proportion has I now been raised; the time has therefore arrived at which something like an estimate of the extent of the failure may be formed. We have been at considerable pains to collect infor- mation on this important subject; and, from the general tenour of our advices, we fear that the damage is quite as great as it has been represented. The most serious cause for apprehension is however, the fact that a large proportion of the crop which, at the time of raising, appeared sound, has been found not to keep. That such is unfortunately the case has been recently proved by the condition in which many of the cargoes from the north have reached the London market. It is to be presumed that at the time of shipment care was taken to select only such potatoes as were to appearance sound; for it can scarcely be supposed that parties making consignments would be so regardless of their own interest as to ship a quality unsuited for a sea voyage. VV e consequently take it for granted that every attention was bestowed in se- lecting the cargoes before the potatoes were put on ship-board if right in this, the condition in which they have arrived certainly affords abundant ground to fear that a small pro- portion only of that part of the crop secured in a seemingly healthy state will be preserved through the winter, unless ex- traordinary care be taken for their preservation. "W e have it from good authority, that a large number of cargoes of pota- toes have within the space of a fortnight arrived in the Thames in such a state as to be not only unfit for food, but so completely rotten as not to be worth the freight. The facts above stated are indisputable, and our only reason for not previously alluding to the same was unwillingness to increase the excitement so prevalent about a fortnight, ago. The ac- couuts from Ireland respecting the potato disease continue very alarming, but different methods having been adopted to preserve those not attacked, it was hoped a portion of the crop would at least be saved. There, as on this side of the Channel, the corn markets had become dull.—HI ark Lane Express. MANSLAUGHTER BY A POLICE-INSPECTOR.—The town of Chipping-Norton has been thrown into the greatest ex- citement in consequence of the police-inspector, named Nott, having, on Wednesday last, struck a prisoner whom he was conveying to the look-up house on a charge of felony, from which blow the poor man died db the following morning. So great was the excitement during the holding of the inquest^ that the Mayor issued handbills, calling upon the people to keep the peace, and stating that the fullest investigation should take place. This document appeased the mincls of the populace, who before had shown symptoms of administering lynch-law upon the inspector, and who had paraded the streets in large crowds, demanding vengeance on him. An inquest was held on Thursday, before Mr Y\ estall, coroner for Oxfordshire, when the following particulars were elicited The deceased, William Slatter, it appears, kept a horse in a stable near to that of Mr. Hall, and that t.ie latter, having lost a quantity of chaff, charged the deceased with having stolen it; this he denied, but eventually Nott the police- inspector, was sent for, and in the deceaseds stable there was a quantity of chaff, which Mr. Hall said he could swear to as being part of that stolen. Upon the latter trying to get the chaff out of the manger, the deceased prevented him as much as he could, saying that the chaff was his own, and never belonged to Mr" Hall, and that lie should not have it. Nott, the inspector, said they should have t le c »a am added those words— £ < Til soon settle you;" an(^ as \L. 39 one of the witnesses stated it, lie drew from his right pocket a thick stick, and struck deceased a violent blow with it on the side of his head, which caused him to stagger, and de- ceased said, "You have done a tine thirisj ,1'°,^ Nott was about repeating the blow, when Mr. a pu ed his arm back, and said, For God's sake don t strike mm any more there are plenty of people here to assis you, if it is required." The handcuffs were then placed on the deceased, and he was conveyed to the lock-up house. On his way there he complained how bad his head was. This was aoout eight o'clock in the eveiiiii, the next morning, on Nott going to the lock-up house, he found his prisoner dead. In conse- quence of the great excitement prevailing in the town, it was thought proper that a post mortem examination snould be made by a non-resident surgeon, and, consequently, the in- quest was adjourned until Saturday, in order that the jury might avail themselves of the services of Mr. Wingfield, the eminent surgeon of Oxford, who promptly attended; and, after making a post mortem examination, stated to the jury that he had no doubt that death was caused by the blow given deceased on the head by Nott, and the jury, without hesita- tion, returned a verdict of "Manslaughter," and Nott was the v same evening committed, and sent to Oxford Castle,, to take his trial at the next assizes
