THE SONG OF HAPPIER DAYS.
THE SONG OF HAPPIER DAYS. Sing on I love that olden lay, lhough mournful are the notes and wild, It drives the haunting fiend away— It thrilled me when a child. Long buried gold the Past reveals, Charmed by the magic of that strain— My weary heart refreshened feels, And I am young again. Sing on the land of shadows now, Hath railed its curtain dark and dim,— Back comes my sire with furrowed brow, That smile belongs to him. Each old familiar word invokes The phantoms of the pictured past, And. sighing through ancestral oaks, I hear the midnight blast. Sin on for borne on music's tide, My soul floats back to other days— From dust rise up the true arid tried To greet my yearning gaze; And she, meek violet that grew In rosy boyhood's Eden lost, Springs up as if her eye of blue, Had never known the frost. Sing on! sing on! entranced I hear, While bloom once more earth's perish'd flowers; A mother warbled in mine ear, That song in other hours. And when the sad refrain is breathed, Her gentle spirit hovers nigh- Fond arms ate round the wanderer wreathed, Kind voices make reply.
HINTS FOR THE NEXT SrATE BALL.
HINTS FOR THE NEXT SrATE BALL. Why carry back a hundred years Whigs, lories, Commoners, and Peers, For dresses at a fancv bail ? How vain to go so very far,— To what they were from what they are Would be disguise for nearly all. Take Brougham as the first (for he First in his own esteem will be), And as in eighteen thirty show him,— Down on his knees, suffused in tears, Pressing Reform upon the Peers Sure nobody on earth would know him. If in disguise you would coneeal The great free trader, Robert Peel, HoWTery easily 'tis done Why go to George the Second's reign ? He's only to appear again As Peel of eighteen forty-one. No powder'd wig they need prepare For Derby's son and natural hair: Let him assume a bearing manly, Proud and impetuous, as he Some ten years since was wont to be How different from the present Stanley How easy 't were to find disguise Of almost every sort and size, Accumulating now since 'thirty, In Graham's wardrobe though 'tis true For fancy balls they'd scarcely do, Most of them are so very dirty. Reason, indignant, asks, Oh, why Make gallant Wellington a Guy ?" It was not requisite at all. Besides, it scarcely was a change To him there could be nothing strange, He's used to powder and to ball: He needed not the large peruke Of Cumberland's illustrious Duke Since Wellington need only range For the list twenty years or so Over his statesman's life to show A most extr'ordinary change. Now, if another ball of state Her Majesty should contemplate, There'll be variety in plenty Of character and costume too, If politicians may renew Some year of the lagUen or twenty."— Times, »
OH, WEAR FOR ME NO SABLE HUE.
OH, WEAR FOR ME NO SABLE HUE. Oh wear for me no sable hue, No garb of blazoned grief—when I Shall bid this gladsome earth adieu, And fling my spirit's garment by 1 Nor mark the spot with urn or stone, Where worthless dust, unconscious, lies; With your loving hearts alone, The monument I ask, should rise And shed for me no bitter tear, Nor breathe my name in mournful tone Yuur smiles 'twas mine to waken here, And I would think them still my own Nor link my image with regret— A pleasant memory I would be To consecrate and brighten yet The scenes that once were dear to me Ah! why should tears bedew the sod W here some beloved one's ashes rest ? The soul rejoiceth near its God, And can ye mourn that spirit blest ? Then ep not for the loved one Bed To realms more pure—a home more fair; And call not the departed dead She lives—she loves—she waits you there.

MRS. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LECTURES.
MRS. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LECTURES. [mr. CAUDLKS HAS NOT ACTED "LIKE A HUSBAND" AT THE WEDDINO DINNER.] Ah me. It's no use wishing—none at all bnt I do wish that yesterday fourteen years could come back again. Little did I think, Mr. Caudle, when you brought me home from church, your hwful wedded wIfe-little, Isay.did I tink that I should keep my wedding-dmner in the manner I have done to-day. Fourteen years ago I Yea, I see you now in your blue coat with bright buttons, and your white watered-satin waistcoat, and a moss rose-bud in your button-hole, which you said was like me? What ? You. never talked such nonsense? Ha! Mr. Caudle, you don't know what you talked thatday—but I do. Yes and yuu then sat at the table as if your face, as 1 may say, was but. tered with happiness, and-What 1 No, Mr. Caudle, don't say that; I have not wiped the butter off—not 1. If you above all meD are not happy, you ought to be, gracious knows Yes, I will talk of fourteen years ago. Ha you sat beside me then, and picked out all sorts of nice things for me. You'd have given me pearls and diamonds to eat if I could have swal- owed'em. Yes, I say, you sat beside me, and—What do you talk about ? You couldn't sit beside me to-day ? That's nothing at all to do with it. Bnt it's so like you. loan't speak but you fly off to something else. Ha! and when the health of the young couple was drunk, what a speech you made then It was deli- cious! How you made everybody cry, as if their hearts were breaking and I recollect it as if it was yesterday, how the tears ran down dear father's nose, aud how dear mother nearly went into a fit! Dear souls. Thev little thought, with all your line talk, how you'd use me! How hav« you used me ? Oh, Mr. Caudle, how can you ask that question ? It's well for you I can't see you blush. riotv have you used me Well, that the same tongue could make a speech like that, and then t"lk -U It dId lo.day! How did you talk? Why, shame- fully. What did you say about your wedded happiness 1 Why, nothing. What did you say about your wife Worse than no. thing just as if she was a bargain you were sorry for, but were obliged to make the best of. What do you say ? And bad's the best1 If you say that again, Caudle, I'll rise from my bed. You didn t say it 1 What, then, did you say Something very like it. Yes, a pretty speech of thanks for a husband! And everybody could see that you didn't care a pin for me; and that's why you invited 'em, to insult me to their faces. What? J made you invite em ? Ob, Caudle, what an aggravating man you are. ° I suppose you'll say next I made you invite Miss Prettyman 1 Oh yei; don't tell me that her brother brought her without your knowing ir. Didn't I hear him say so? Of course I did; but do you suppose I'm quite a fool? Do you thInk I don't know that that was all settled between you? And she mutt be a nice person to come unasked to a woman's house? But J know why she came. Oh yes she came to look about her. What do I meant Oh yes, the meaning's plain enough. She came to see how she should like the rooms—how she should like my seat at the fire-place how sbe-and if it isn't enough to bteak a mother's heart to be treated so !—how she should like my dear children. Now, it's no use your bouncing about at—but of course that's it; 1 can't mention Miss Prettyman, but you fhng about as if you were in a fit. Of course that shows there's something in it. Otherwise, why should you disturb yourself 1 Didn't I see her looking at the cyphers on the spoons as if she already saw mine scratched out and hers there No, I shan't drive you mad, Mr. Caudle; and if I do it's your own fault. No other man would treat the wife of his bosom in—what do you say 1 You, might « well have married a hedgehog 1 Well, now it's come to aoHjethiog. But It s always the case Whenever you've seen that Miss Prettyman, I'm sure to be abused. A hedgehog! A pretty thing for a woman to called by her husband Now, you don t ih'0k 1 1 lie quietl, i„ bed and be called a hedgehog—do you, Mr. Caudle? 5 ° .|VVelrlLIj0n'y h?pe M'm Prettyman had a good dinner, that's all. had none You know! had none—how was I to get any You know that the only part of the turkey I care for is the merrythought. And that, of course, went to Miss Pretty- inan. Oh, 1^ saw you l«Ugh when you put it on your plate And you don t suppose, after such an insult as that, I'd taste another thing upon the table ? No, I should hope I have more spirit than that. \es; and you took wine with her four times. What do you say? Only twice; Oh, you were so lost—fasci- uated, Mr. Caudle; yt», fascinated—that you didn't know what you did. However, I do think while i'm alive I might be treated with respect at my own table. I say, while I'm alive for I know 1 shan t last long, and then Miss Prettyman may come and lake it all. I'm wasting daily, and DO wonder. I never say anything about it, but every week my gowns are taken in. I've lived to learn something to be sure Miss Prettyman turned up her nose at my custard. It sufficient that you're always finding ault yourself, but you must bring women home to sneer al meat my own table. What do you say ? She didn't turn up her nose I know she did not but what it's needless -Providence has turned it up quite enough for her already. And she must give herself airs over my custards! Ob, I saw her mincing with the spoon as if she was chewing sand. What do you say? She praised my plum-pudding ? Who atked ber to praiat it ? Like her impudence, I think Yes, a pretty day I've passed, I shall not forget this wedding- day, I taink And as I say a pretty speech you made in the way of thanks. No, Caudle. if I was 10 live a bundred yea IS- you needn't groan, Mr. Caudle, I shall not trouble you half that time-If I was to live a hundrd years, I should never forget it. Never! You didn't even so much as bring one of your children into your speech. And—dear creatures !—what have they done to offend you; No; I shall not dllve you mad. It's you, Mr. Caudle, who'll drive me mad. Everybody says so. And you suppose I did'nt see how it was managed, that you and that Miss Prettyman were always partners at whist? How wai it managed1. Why, plain enough. Of course, you packed the cards, and could cut what you liked. You'd settled that be- tween you. Yes and when she played a trick, instead of lead- ing off a trump — she play whist, indeed !—what did you say to her when you found it was wrong Oh—It was impossible that her heart should mistake And this, Mr. Caudle, before people —with your own wife in the room And Miss Piettyman—I won't hold my tongue. I will talk of Miss Prettyman who's she, indeed, that I shouldn't talk of her. I suppose she thinks she sings t What do you say ? She sings like a mermaid 1 Yes, very—very like a mermaid for she never sings but she exposes herseif. She might, I think, have chosen another song. I love somebody,' indeed; as if I didn't know who was meant by that somebody'; and all the room knew it, of course and that was what it was done fOJ-nothing else. However, Mr. Caudle, as my mind's made up, I shall say no more about the matter to-night, but try to go to sleep. And to my astonishment and gratitude, writes Caudle, she kept her worJ.- Punch.
FORElGiV DTELLIGEACE.
FORElGiV DTELLIGEACE. AMERICA. THE PROBABILITY OF A WAR- The flying rumours of a war with Mexico are apparently taking a more definite shape, and if we can believe one half that is afloat respecting a rupture, we are certainly on the eve of a demonstra- tion of some kind, though we can hardly believe that a declaration of war with us will be made by such a power as Mexico. It would appear, however, that the Mexican Government is placed between two unpleasant alternatives, either to attempt the sub- jugation of the United S'aies, or of seeing their country torn once more by intestine commotions, and Santa Anna restored again to power, and it is difficult to determine which would be tile lesser evil of the two, and it will probably puzzle the admi- nistration,whichtochoose. This is stated almost as a matter of certainty in a private letter received in New Orleans, and ob. tains credence there to some extent. It is also stated in the Richmond Enquirer of the 10th June, that the bearer, of dispatches from Mexico to our Government passed through that city on Sunday Inst, and expressed the opinion that war would be declared by Mexico in ten days. If these indications and surmises, be the shadow of coming events, w may be nearer a war than we expected. We suppose that when it does come Young America' will not be caught napping. —New York Mirror. THE FIRE AT QUEBEC. The committee of investigation have, we perceive made their report, with regard to the los by the late dreadful conflagration in that city. The total number of houses destroyed was, one thousand six hundredjand thirty—forty sixstreets being completely swept away. The amount of the loss as near as it can be cal- culated, is set down at 5,000,000 dollars. It ts impossible to tell how many lives were lost-at the last accounts, forty one per. sons had been found in the ruins. The hon. John Neilson is forthwith to proceed to England, to lay this terrible disaster before the British public, and solicit sub- scriptions. DESTRUCTION OF THE ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS IN PHILADELPHIA. The destruction of the collection of paintings in the building known in Philadelphia as the Academy of Fine Arts, is a most disastrous circumstance. The labour of forty years was thus swept away in as many minutes. It seems to have been the work of an incendiary, and what could have indeed the fiendish design is most extraordinary. The fire originated among some lumber in the antique gallery, and no doubt it was placed there intentionally, as two persons were seen to leave the building just before tbe fire broke our. Many valuable painlJngs were saved, but the loss is irreparable, as it includes some of the best paint- ings in the Union—the works of Salvator Rosa, Rubens, Raphael, Kauffman, Titian, David, and many of our best native artists. The loss of the antique gallery is said to he a heavier loss even, than that of the pictures, for, says a contemporary—hitherto it has been closed to all purposes except that of exhibition. Draw- ings were not permitted to be made until recently, and, on the very evening of the fire, a eommittee of the Artists' was in session, making arrangements to form a school of art, and obtain the use of this gallery for the students. The members of the committee were congratulating themselves on the prosperity of the Academy, and the prospect of the benefits which it was about to confer upon the arts of our city, and had scarcely separated when the fire took place which frustrated, for a time, their anticipations. VILLAINOUS,—One of our most enterprising citizens, Mr. Charles Whitson, on the 1st of May last established a new line of omnibuses to Yorkville and Hurlgate ferry, reducing the fare to 6t cents. The line became very popular. On Monday night last, some villain managed to get at the trough, in which the horses drank, and poisoned the water. Thirty-six horses drank of it, and they have all become sick. Eight of them have died. It is to be hoped the perpetrator of this outrage will be found out.-New York .Mirror. UNITED STATES. OF THE CAMBRIA.—RAPID PASSAGE. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.—Shortly after the departure of the four o'clock express train this afternoon, the steam-ship Cam- bria, Captain Judkins, entered the Mersey in a dense fog, bring- ing American papers four days later than those conveyed by the Great Western, which had arrived here previously this morning, with seventy passengers. This vesselleh Boston at four P.M., on the 16th, so that she has made the shortest passage yet accomplished from America to Liverpool—ten days sixteen hours, including her running into and stoppage there to land passengers. These papers contaiu but little of laterest in addition to those brought by the Great Wes. tern. New Brunswick papers contain accounts of the ravages of the fire in the woods in that province. In the vicinity of St. John and Fredericton much damage has been done to property. Six or seven houses were destroyed at Maryland and Rushton. On the morning of the 10th, a fire broke out in the outbuildings belong- ing tojgoveroment house at Fredericton, which proceeded with such amazing rapidity, that in a few minutes, says the head quarters, the stables, coach-houses, and barns were enveloped in flames, .and in about an hour were a mass of smouldering ruins. So rapid was the progress of the fire, that three horses and all the carrtages belonging to his Excellency and Mr. Reade (with the exception of one), together with the saddles, harness, hay, and grain, were consumed." His Excellency's loss is said to be at least £1,000. RUMOURED MINISTERIAL CHANGES IN CANADA.—-The A!on* treal Pilot says, that Mr. Tachereau, police magistrate of Quebec, has accepted the office of Solicitor-General (East), and that his brother, the present member for Dorchester, resigns in his favour. That Mr. Grieve, who is very ill, resigns his seat for Three Ri- vers in favour of, and compassion towards Mr. Viger. That Mr. Daley goes to the Legislative Council, Mr. Dunkin offering him- lelf as member for Megantic. And that Colonel De Salaberry, Extra Provincial A.D.C., will be appointed to the office of Re- gistrar for the city and county of Montreal.— [Mr. Grieve is since dead. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 7.—The Capitan Pacha, who arrived here a few days ago with the Turkish fleet, brought documents with him (probably un intercepted correspondence) which prove, it is said, that the Emir Besahir, the former ruler of tha Lebanon, who has, as you know, been a prisoner in this capital since the termination of the Syrian campaign, has been a chief instigator of the late outbreak between the Maronites and the Druses. FRANCE. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. In the Cham- ber of Deputies on Wednesday, the budget of the Minister of Public Inslluction was passed without any of those violent out. breaks between the champions of the church and the university, to Mhich it was expected to give lise. The Paiis and Rennes Railway Bill, for which great exertions have been made, it now appears, will not be passed during the present session. The bill proposed to grant the line to the two Versailles railway companies, which were to be amalgamated for that purpose, but it appears that the companies bave neglected to through the formality of dissolving themselves, and le-forming themselves into an united company. The consequence is, that there will not be time to pass the bill, and it must be postponed. The principal business of Ihe session being DOW over, tbe mi- nisters are preparing to leave Paris tor the vacation. M. Ducha- tel goes next week to the baths of Ems, where he will remain till the 25th of July. His duties will be performed ad interim by M. Dumon. M. Guizot does not leave Paris for Val Richer, his seat in Normandy, tiU the return of M. Duchatel from Ems. SPAIN. We have received Madrid papers of the 20th. The Eco del Commercio says that the government has received notice from the Spaniel ambassador in London that 6.000 muskets, a quantity of cavalry sabres, and two pieces of cannon, have been sentofl from England (or Spain, having been purchased on the order of some Carlilll agents. There were rumours of some outbreaks in the provinces, but they did not appear to rest on any good foundation. Our correspondent on the above date writes :—" General Nar- vaez has issued a circular to the Capstains-General of all the militaiy districts, ordering them to use the greatest vigilance and energy '10 exterminate all the enemies of the public repose,' and that in case any one ventures to raise the standard of rebellion, he shall be immediately put to death, whatever may be his social position.

ATROCIOUS CASE OF ABDUCTION For the last two or three days, the neighbourhood of Brunswick-square has been thrown | into the greatest possible excitement by the discovery of a case of I abduction. For nearly three years, a widow lady, of the name of Bovan, has resided with her two daughters, Ellen, aged 19, and Jane, 17, in Milman-street, keeping a boarding-house. On the 39th ult., she received a note from a rs, Reynoldson, who de- scribed herself as keeping a lady's seminary at Walsall, and hav- ing come to town upon some Chancery business, and knowing Mrs. Bovan's frieuds in Coventry, applied to her for lodgings for a day or so. The epistle concluded by requesting an interview at the railway terminus at three that day. Mrs. Bovan, being a native of Coventry, and her daughters having lately been staying there with someof her friends, went as desired, and met the lady as she was coming in by the train. It being evident that the stranger was well acquainted with her family, and also her daugh- ters, although Mrs. Bovan had no recollection of her, and further prepossessed by her lady-like demeanour, she agreed to take her ss a lodger. Mrs. Reynoldson stayed for a week, during which time her behaviour was of the most respectable character, and from being a stranger in London, Mrs. Bovan permitted her daughters to accompany her upon shopping missions. At the ex- piration of the week, Mrs. Reynoldson was waited upon by an elderly gentleman and a younger one; the former was represented to be her solicitor, and the latter her nephew, who had traced her out by calling at ber lawyer's chambers. From them it ap- peared her business could not be settled for another week, and she remained until Saturday last, in the afternoon of which day she went out, accompanied by the two young women, to make some purchases in the Lowther Arcade. Later in the day they were met by a gentleman, also a lodger at Mrs. Bovan's, at tha bottom of Pall Mall; they were then in company with the two persons represented as the solicitor and nephew. Since that period, no direct tidings have been heard of either of the parties by the distracled*motber. Upon inquiry at 50, Lincoln's-Inn- Field (the direction given by the solicitor), it appeared that the name of a barrister who had formerly resided there bad been made use of, but who, of course, in no way answered to the description, I knew anything of the parties.

Monmouthshire Midsummer Sessions.
Monmouthshire Midsummer Sessions. USK.—MONDAY, JUNE 30. USK.—MONDAY, JUNE 30. The Sessions for this county commenced on Monday last. At twelve o'clock the chair was taken by S. R. BOSANQUET, ESQ., and the following magistrates were present on the Bench Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart. Rev. F. Lewis, G. Cave, Esq., I Rev. Dr. Jones, W. A. Williams, E sq Thomas Oakley, Esq. W. A. Williams, jun., E<q. Hon. W. P. Rodney, Major Marriott, Thomas Reece, Esq. W. H. Little, Esq. F. M'Donnell, E<q. Rev. James Coles, Thomas Prothero, Esq. Rev. J. B. Davies, Captain Roberts, Rev. Thomas Pope, I Captain Marsh. Rev. John Irving, The Chairman read letters from Lord Granville Somerset, and Octavius Morgan, Esq., expressing their regret that Parliament- ary duties prevented their being present at the Sessions. The orders of last Sessions having been read, the Bench pro. ceeded to the consideration of the application, of which notice was given at the last Sessions, for any INCREASE IN THE SALARY OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION AT VSK. The application, which was read by the Clerk of the Peace, set forth that the duties of the keeper were much more onerous than-at any former time, in consequence of there being a larger number of prisoners confined in the new House of Correction than were imprisoned in the old gaol; and in consequence of the so. parate system having been adopted here, which involved many duties which were not requited from the keeper under the former management. Mr. Prothero enquired what Mr. Merrett's present salary was, The Chairman stated that he now received £110. a-year. The Chairman then read a statement, showing that Mr. Mer- rett's salary had, from time to time, been augmented, in proportion to the increase of his duties Mr. M. was appointed in 1829 his salary then was £80: the matron's salary wis .£20. The gaoler's salary was increased in 1835 to £90.; and irT 1840 was again increased to £110. The matron's was also then increased to £30. Mr. Prothero stated, after putting several questions to Mr. Merrett, that it appeared that the amount of assistance rendered to Mr. Merrett, by an increase ot turnkeys and other officers, had corresponded with the increase in his duties. After some further discussion, Sir Digby Mackworth said he had only that morning heard this subject brought forward, and wished Mr. Phiilips, who had given notice of the motion, for an increase in Mr. IWerreti's salary, had himself been present to propose it. To his absence however, fearing the matter might be dropped, he (Sir Digby) would make a motion on the subject. He believed the increase which had been considered adequate to the inc reased duties of the gaol-keeper was £30., and he would move that £30. should be added to Mr. Merrett's salary henceforward. In addition to the separate syslem requiring an increased number of officers it also imposed many and arduous duties upon the gaoler, and therefore ho considered that Mr. Merrett was fai; Iy entitled to the proposed increase of salary. The motion of Sir Digby having been seconded, Mr. Prothero said he thought a previous question should be whether Mr. M. was at all qualified to fill efficiently the office of keeper of the House of Correction. He certainly considered that it admitted of serious doubts whether Mr. Merrett was a suitable person for the office he held-and he would therefore move that the report of the visiting rn.i^istrates made to the Quarter Ses- sions in December, 1843, and all other reports relating to Mr. Merrett's unfitness for the office of gaoler, be read to the Bench, by the Clerk of the Pence. Mr. Coles seconded the proposition. The Clerk of the Peace read the reports alluded to, which showed that in 1843, the visiting magistrates were of opinion that Mr. Merrett was not a Suitable person to be entrusted with the House of Correction, upon the separatejsystem but in a report made in July, 1844, the visiting magistrates expressed their con- viction that a considerable improvement had taken place in the management of the House of Correction, and a resolution was passed at the following sessions, establishing Mr. Merrett in his office, and providing that a special report should be made at the following Sessions as to the manner in which the management of the House of Correction was conducted. ° Mr. W. A. Williams, said he did not think the last pro. vision of the resolution referred to, had ever been complied with as no speciil report had been furnished. In the general report of the visiting magistrates, made in October, 1844, it was stated that the affairs of the prison were managed satisfactorily, aud a special report was deemed unnecessary. Mr. Prothero considered that the order of the sessions should have been complied with, and a special report furnished, which however, as Mr. Williams remarked, had never been done. Mr. Williams, said the visiting magistrates, who had re- ported that they considered Mr. Merret unfit for the office of aol keeper, could not make a special report as to his conduct, if their opinions were uoaltered, without repeating what they had pre. viously said, which be considered unnecessary; but having altered their opinien, they expressed themselves accordingly in their general report. ° The Chairman here interposed, remarking that notwithstand- ling Mr. Merrett was said at first to have been unfit for the office of gaoler, the magistrates had reason to alter their opinion, and expressed themselves satisfied with his general conduct. He, therefore, considered that a lengthened discussion, on the sub- ject, was unnecessary. Mr. Coles said he was sorry that the subject had been brouoht forward, as be believed that public discussions of this kind, e. specting the conduct of a person holding such an office as Mr. Merrett held, were calculated materially to injure the prison dis- cipline but still he felt it his duty, whenever the conduct of a public servant of the county was to be investigated, to express his opinion respecting him, whether it might be unfavourable or commendatory. He had strong reason for supposing that Mr. Merrett's conduct was not such as it should be and he would ask whether the visiting magistrates had not lately heard of some misconduct in the House of Correction. [Mr. Coles then ex- amined Mr. Merrett at some length, from which it appeared that one of the female turnkeys bad lately left the House of Correc- tion, in a state of pregnancy, no notice of her being in that stale having been given to the visiting magistrates, until after the airl had left the prison. It was also elicited that a knife had been left in a cell with a female prisoner, who appeared to Mr. Coles (he having visited her during her illnes) not to be a sound state of mind.J Mr. Coles continued to remark, with some severity upon the conduct of Mr. Merrett, alluding also to some incul- patory reports which had been propagated respecting his wife when Mr. M'Donnell rose to order. He thought no report which had been circulated relative to Mrs. Merrett, should be used as an argument to prove Mr. Merrett's uufilaess for the office of keeper of the House of Correction. After some desultory discussion, Mr. Coles proposed that a committee of magistrates be ap- pointed to inquire ioto the conduct and fitness for office of the governor and matron of the House of Correction, who should make their report to the magistrates at the next Quarter Ses- sions. Mr. M'Donnell seconded the proposition. In answer to enquiries from Mr. Prothero, Mr. Merrett said that the female turnkey, who had left the prison, had done so before the viiiling magistrates had an Oppor- tunity of making any enquiry into her case, and had left in pur- suance of a week's notice from him to do so. Mr. Prothero then moved that the committee of enquiry, pro. posed by Mr. Cotes, should consist of the visiting magistrates with the exception of Mr. A. VVillliams, and Sir D. Mac- worth, who declined acting-the visiting magistrates of Mon. mouth gaol, Mr. Coles, Mr. M'Donnell, and Mr. Bosauquet. Mr. W. H. Little did not see the necessity for the committee of inquiry—from what he had heard since the report of the visiting magistrates, in which they complained of Mr. Merrett's inability to manage the House of Currectloo-be had approved of Mr. Merrett's conduct. Rev. B. Davies expressed his opinion that Mr. Merrett was unfit for his office, for want of education. An educated man would certainly have more influence over the prisoners, sod be in every respect, better calculated to manage the House of Cor lection. Mr. W. A. Williams, jun., thought the visiting magistrates the most suitable persons to conduct (he inquiry proposed. The Chairman then read the original preposition, that Mr. Merrett's salary should be increased from to &140., and was about to put it to the Bench, when i Mr. W. A. Williams, remarked that before they came to a determination to investigate Mr. Merrett's conduct, he should be informed of the charges to be brought against him. Mr. M Donaell said it was the duty of the committee ap- pointed, to give Mr. Merrett that information. The Chairman remarked—of course the enquiry would Le conducted impartially, and the gaoler would be made aware of the charges he would have to meet. After some further discussion,the amendment, for the appoint- ment of the committee, was put to the Bench, when the follow- ing magistrates voted for it: — Major Marriott, Rev. J. B. Davies, Rev. Dr. Jones, Rev. J. Coles, Rev. F. Lewis, Rev. T. Pope, Hon. W. P. Rodney, Captain Marsh, Captain Roberts, Mr. F. Donnell, Mr. Cave, Mr. Proihero, and Mr. Oakley. The following voted against it :—Sir Digby Mackworth, Mr. W. A. Williams, jun., and Mr. Repce. The following did not vote:—Rev. J. Irving, Mr. W. H. Little, and Mr. W. A. Williams. The amendmenl having thus been cariied, Mr. W. A. Williams, said he did not consider he should do his duty to Mr. Merrett, if he did not express his hope that no vague report would be received as evidence against him. He thought the statements against him should be specific and clear. The subject was then dropped. LUNATIC ASYLUM. Sir G. Tyler's letter, respecting the erectinn of a Lunatic Asylum, fcr the counties of Monmouth and Glamorgan being read, it was resolved, That the proposition, from the committee of magistrates of the county of Glamorgan, made to the last Quarter Sessions, in reference to a Lunatic Asylum, and then adjourned to these ses- sions, be further adjourned to the October Sessions, in order that the result of the bill now before Parliament, on the subject, may be known by the magistrates. FINANCE. The Finance Committee reported that tbe county treasurer's financial statement had been audited, and the various charges against the county were then examined and paid. The County Treasurer reported that Newport, Abergavenny and Union 01 Dore, had not paid their share of the county stock previously 10 the meeting of the Finance Committee that New. port and Abergavenny had since paid but that the Union of Dore had not yet paid. The report of the Finance Committee showed that the income of the county had 4s. lAd., and the expenditure £2,502. 4s. Id., thus leaving a balance of £3.1. 0d. Od. in the hands of the treasurer. COUNTY RATE. The Bench ordered a rate of Id. in the pound for the ensuing quarter. THE COUNTY SURVEYOR S REPORT Presented no features of interest. Major Marriott slated that there was a bridge over the river Trotbey, at Monmouth, the expenses, of which, since the borough of Monmouth had been placed under county jurisdiction, had been, in consequence of an oversight at that time, thrown entirely upon one parish. He would, therefore, move that the county surveyor be requested to survey that bridge as well asothers,and report accordingly and also to include the expensesfor that bridge in the county expenditure, as Monmouth was now taxed lo the county stock. Upon this subject, it was. after some conversaiion, resolved "That the Clerk of tbe Peace be requested to inquire into the subject, in order to ascertain whether the repairs of tne biidge over the Trothey may be fairly paid out of the county and to report upon the IImQ to the next sessions." WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. The report of the Inspector of Weights and Measures repre- sented that the following persons had been fined for foul weights Amelia Morris. Whitebrook, 5s. Jane Robins, Whilebrook, shopkeeper, 5s. Mary Wilcox, Whilebrook, shopkeeper. 5s. Richard Foster, Bassaleg, shopkeeper, 10s. Henry Charles, Bassaleg, shopkeeper. 10s. Sarah Young, Machen, shopkeeper, 10s. —.Jones, Castletown, innkeeper, 10s. 1 he report also stated that several persons frequently neglected to bring their weights tor inspection, when the inspector was mak* ing his periodical tour. We quote the paragraph of the report which refers particularly to this subject :— I. 1 would most respectfully lay before you the fact, that nei- ther of the iron masters, coal proprietors, or keepers of weighing machines upon the several tram roads, sent any weights to me to be inspected during my recent journey and that it is very rare tor them, or for any farmers, millers, or corn dealers, to bring their weights or measuies to me for inspection, during any of my periodical journeys." RULE RELATIVE TO CONVICTS. The communication from theSecretary of Stale, relative to the treatment of p-isoners condemned to death, and which has lately been published in the MERLIN, was then read, and ordered to be added to the county rules the Clerk of the Peace being desired to send advice to the Secretary of State, of its adoption by this county. RE-VALUING THE PARISH OF MONMOUTH. Major Marriott announced that the following letter, relative to this subject, had been sent by the Board of Guardians of the pa- rish of Monmouth, lo the Clerk of the Peace, to be read lo the Magistrates: — Monmouth, June 19, 1845. Sir,-I am directed bv the Board of Guardians of the Mon- mouth Union to inform you, that application has been made to the Poor Ltiw Commissioners by the parish of Monmouth, for authority to survey and re-value the property of that parish, and that it is probable the order will be issued. This local transac- tion may possibly Rffect the general interest of the county, and the board think it proper that the magistrates of the county should be informed of it.-I am, sir, your most obedient servant, EDWIN RICHARDS, Clerk. To the Clerk of the Peace for the County of Monmouth," COUNTY CAOL. The report of the County Gaol stated that apartments had been prepared for the accommodation of four female debtors and this was considered quite sufficient, as the average number of female debtors was not above two. In answer to a question from Sir D. Mackworth, Mr. Barrett (the Governor), stated that the supply of water at the gaol was now abundant. USK HOUSE OF COKRECIION. The report of the visiting magistrates of the Usk House of Cor' rection represented that it was desirable to make some improve- ments in the exercise yards. The Couhty Surveyor slated that about X7. 10s. would be required for making the alierations. An application was made to the magisirates by Mr. Partridge, to be allowed to lease a piece of ground near the House of Cor- rection, which is now applied to no useful purpose, for a term of twenty years. After some conversation on this subject, in which we could not learn that any definite motion was made, the matier dropped. This closed the business of the first day, and the Court ad. journed at half past three. TVESDA Y. Rev. J. B. Gabiiel, vicar of Chepstow, look the necessary oaths of qualification, as a magistrate. The court met at half-past nine precisely, S. R..Bosanquet, Esq., presiding. The lollowing magistrates were preseut Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart. I Capt. Roberts, Rev. J. B. Davies, | W. A. Williams, jun., Esq., Capt. King, R.N,, j F. II. Williams, Esq., G. Cave, Esq., | T. Reece, Esq. The following gentlemen were sworn as the grand Jury RALPII RUTHERFORD, Abergavennv. foreman, Thomas Richard,Abergavenny, ) Joseph Hiilier, Caerwent, Maihew Wilson, Ditto, Richard Lewis, Ditlo, VVm. Watkins, Ditto, Valentine Parsons, Ditio. Richard Anthony, Aberysiulh, VVm. Cooper, Mathern, George Robins, Ditto, I Wm. Baker, Chrisichurch, Wm. Williams, Ditto, Jeremiah Moxley, St.Aryans, James Watkins, Cwmyoy, James Hall, Redbrook, I homas Watkins, Ditto, I Charles Herbert, Ditto, William Dew, Caerwent, Wm. Baker, Chrisichurch, Wm. Harris, Ditto, The proclamation against vice and immorality having been read hy the Clel k of th Peace, the Chairman delivered the fol- lowing charge to ihe Grand Jury Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—I am happy in being able to inform you that the charges in the caleudar before you are, though numerous, Fri not of a serious ch aracter-t hei e are no cases of sheep stealing or cattle stealing to be brought under your at- tentioi). There are, however, unhappily, many, very many petty charges-especially for the ctime of coal steaiing-a crime, for the perpetration of which, there are many temptations and faci- lities in this county and gentlemen, these petty thefts are becom- ing so frequent that I fear it will be the duty of the court to increase the punishment for such offences. With regard, gentlemen, to your duty on this occasiou, I deem it IIcarcely necessary to re- made that you will be.required to investigate whatever evidence may be brought before you against the prisoners to be tried at these sessions, and to form your judgment according to that evi- dence, not to seek any evidence of defence from other sources, or relying upon any statement which is not brought before you, as evidece on the trial of the prisoner. It may, gentlemen, be op- portune for me to make two or three observations to you, respect- ing the case of John Hoursgood and Mary Hoursgood, who are charged with a felony. In this case a questiou for your consi. deration will be whether the woman charged with this offence was really the wife of the person said to be her husband if you find that she was actually his wife you cannot find both guilty of the offence laid to their charge, the wife being considered under the protection and surveillance of her husband. There is another case upon which I consider it requisite to make a passing remark, viz., the case of Clias. Carter, No. 26 in the calendar. In this case the prisoner is charged with having obtained goods under false pretences and the question for you to consider in this case is, whether the prisoner is really guilty of a larceny. The distinc- tion between obtaining goods under false preteuses and larceny, is so nice and fine that it is often difficult to decide between them and if you have any doubt as to whether this case is a case of larceny, or of obtaining goods under false pretenses, 1 recommend you to find the latter, as the prisoner can then be punished as if convicted of larceny.; but being charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses, if you acquit him upon that charge, then he cannot be convicted of larceny, but must be acquitted, notwithstanding it may appear that a larceny had actually been committed. No. 46 in the calendar is another case upon which it may be necessary for me to address to you a few observations. In the case referred to, George Jenkins is charged with an assault- Now it is of importance for you to remember that it is iu the nature of an assault, that on any person com- mitting an assault upon another, the second party may strike the aggressor in self-defence, but if he strike more blows than may be necessary for self-defence, then he i. liable to a prosecution for an asuult-unnecessary severity in resisting an assault being as really an assault as the first attack, and equally liable to punishment by law. Gentlemen, there is one other subject upon which I think it right to make a few observations. It has, per- haps, come to your knowledge that auditors have been appointed in several places to audit parish accounts and this has been the case in Gloucestershire and a great part of Monmouthshire. High Salaries are paid to these officers, and of course the parishes whjse accounts ale thus audited, must defray the expence of this duty, being perf, rmed by paid officers. Now, gentlemen, you have it in your power either to perform the duly of audillng these accounts yourselves, or you will be required to pay the salaries of an officer appointed for the purpose. Many com- plaints have been made to the Legislature as m the loose and improper manner in which theduty of auditing parish accounts has be-n performed, and unless gentlemen connected with the differ- ent parishes will perform the duty themselves, they must submit to the cost of paying aa officer expressly appointed for the purpose. But, gentlemen, it would be well for you to remember that if you leave the performance of these duties to paid officers, you lise an opportunity of acquiring business habils, which would qualify you for the better discharge of vour own business, as well as tor the better diseliarge of* any public duties which may devolve upon you. I am persuaded, gentlemen, if you resolve upon discharging these duties youiselves, that the duties will be better discharged, and then the public seivice will be benefilled. Gentlemen, these are all the observations I deem it necessary to addrest to you at present. You will now retire to your room, and be good enough to send us some bills at your earliest convenience. On the grand jury retiring, the Court proceeded to the hearing of 6 APPEALS. Chepstow, appellants: Mathern, respondenlq.-Appeal against an order of removal. Mr. Smyihies appeared for the appellants, and Ni r. iticilardson for the iespondents.-Oider coufirmed, with usual costs. Gellygare, appellants: Aberystwith, respondenls. -Appeal against an order of removal. Mr. Rickards for the appellants, Mr. Smyihies for the respondnts.-Order quashed, with usual costs. Newport, appellants; St. Woottos, respondents. Appeal against an order of removal. Alr. Snjyth Its for the appelJanls, Mr. Rickards for the respondents.—Order quashed, with usual costs. Gellygare, appellants; Aberystwith, responnenis.-At,peal against an order of removal.—Mr. Rickards for the appellants, Mr. Smyth:es for the respondenis,-Otder confirmed, with usual costs. Llanfairarybyo, appellants: Bedwelly, respondents .-Appeal against an order of removal. Mr. Smythies for appellants, Mr. Rickards for iespondents.-Order confirmed, with usual costs. Llandeghy, Radnorshire, appellants: Llantillio Peitholly, respondents. --A ppea I against an order of removal. Mr. Somer- set for the appellants, Mr. Rickards for the lespondents. Order quashed, with usual costs. Penrose, appell»n,s > Kemy's Commander, respondents.— Mr. Rickards, on behalf of the appellants, applied for costs, the re- spondents having refused to pay them previously to the issuing of the supercedeas.— 1 he Court ordered the costs to be allowed. Mr. Rickards applied to the Bench to transfer the case of Geo. Jenkins, who was charged wilh aa assault, to the Assizes, as he thought the crime was something more than a common assault, and amounted to a case of cutting and maiming. This crime would render the prisoner liable to transportation for life; and, therefore, was not within the jurisdiction of the Quarter Sessions. The Court next proceeded to the TRIAL OF PRISONERS. Ann Griffiths, aged 22, read imp. not write, charged by the oath of Mary Roberts, with feloniously stealing and carrying I away, on the 11th day of J line. IDslallt. one stiver watch, of the value of 20s. the property of Richard Richards. Pleaded Guilty. Mr. Barrett said he had been desired by the prosecutor to recommend the prisoner strongly 10 mercy. Four months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Ellen Buckley Murphy, (out on buill) charged by the oaths of Thomas Smith and others, with feloniously stealing atd carry- ing away sixty-five pounds weightof coal, of the value of 6d., the property of Joseph lalch and another. Pleaded Guilty. Three weeks hard labour in the House of Correction. Thomas Bevan, aged 13, read Imp. not Wile, and Benjamin Matiley, aged 15, read imp. not write, charged by the oaths of Cecilia Williams and others, with feloniously Mealing and carry- iag away on the 28th day of May instant, £ 5, 91., and one cotton handkerchief, of the value of sixpence, the property of William Williams. Pleaded Guilty. Thomas Davies and Mary Morgan gave the prisoner Madley a good character, as did W iliam Williams the prisoner Bevan. Sentences: Bevan to be imprisoned 3 calendar months, and twice whipped > Madley to be imprisoned 2 months. Hannah Knight, aged 20, read imp. not write, out on bail,1 charged on the oaths of Agnes Renie and others, with feloniously stealing one quart of sbeiry wine, two bottles, one pair of stock- ings, one silk handkerchief, and two linen handkerchiefs, the property of James Renie. The prisoner was a well-looking female, and seemed to feel acutely her disgraceful situation. She was strongly recommended to mercy by her late master and mistress, having conducted her- self up to the lime of this offence entirely to their satisfaction. She was sentenced to he imprisoned 4 calendar months, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. The next case,being the first of a prisoner pleading Not Guilty, the following persons were then sworh on the Petty Jury :— Mr. Thomas Morgan, Hardwick, foreman, Solomon Chilton, Abervstruth, I Rt. Gwillim, Cwmynv Upper, William Charles, Ditlo Thomas Jones, Ditto William Davies Ditto William Pritchard, Ditto William Edwards Ditto Wm. Davits, Cwmyoy Lower, William Edmunds Ditto Thomas Powell, Ditto Daniel Lewis, Ditto William Edmunds Ditto Thomas Powell, Ditto Daniel Lewis, Ditto -1 John Edmunds, aged 15, not read, charged with having,on the 26th day of April, 1845, at the borough of Monmouth, feloni- ously stolen one sheepskin of the value oP 4s. the property of Clias. Cook. Mr. Smyihies appeared for the prosecution. Charles Cook, sworn: I am foreman to my brother. I attended Monmouth market on 26th April to buy sheep skins for him. 1 know Mr. John Clark, he is agent to Mr. Troakes he was not in the warehouse when I put the skins there there were 59 skins. On Sunday morning the 27th April, I missed one of the skins; the waggon arrived in Monmouth laie on the Saturday night, and therefore they were counted on Sunday, and one was gone. James Clark: I am employed by Jllr. Troakes. I remember some sheep skins being bought to Mr. Troakes's warehouse at Monmouth, on 26ih April. On their being taken out of the warehouse, they wele one less than they wer said 10 hve been by Cook when they were put there. I saw them counted, and put on the waggon to be sent sent to Ross, and they were then only 58. John Wilde I remember the sheep skins being brought 10 Mr. Troakes's warehouse at Monmouth on 26,h April- I placed them in the waggon, and looked for skins IU the wafehoue alter I put 57 in the waggon, and found one Thos. Williams helped me to pul ihern in the waggon. Thomas Williams 1 helped to put the sheep skins in Mr. Troakes's waggon on the 26th April. I saw the prisoner there; he was helping to take the skios out ot Ihe (ruck. James Taylor I remember on 26th April selling some sheep skius to Charles Cook. I afierwards saw one of these skins in possession of Fuller, the policeman. William Jones: I am a butcher, living in Monmouth. The prisoner asked me on the 26th April to buy a sheep skin. I asked him where he got it, and he said he picked it up on the Ross road. He oflered it to me for Is. I said it was worth 5s. or 6;, I took the skin for Is. On the following Saturday I saw Mr. Cook in Ross market, and on showing him the skin, he said it belonged to him. John Drew corroborated the evidence of the former witnes. Police constable Fuller produced the skin, which was identified by Mr. Cook as his propeity. W illiam Jones, recalled There are often mistakes made wilh respect to marks upon sheep skins-there was once a serious mistake made in my own case, having been taken into custody for stealing sheep, because I hall kintl hearing a certain malk in my possession—when the sheep were afierwaids found alive. The prisoner WIIS acquitted. Thomas Griffiths, aged 31, not read, charged by the oath of William Waters, with feloniously stealing, on the 7,h of April, one pair of traces, the properlY of C'apel Hanbury Leigh, Esq. Mr. Smythies appeared for (he pioseculion. William Walters: I am a hallier in the employ of Capel Leigh, Esq. On the 71h of April I placed some harness belong- ing to Mr. Leigh, on a tip at Blaendare, and left it for the night. We are accustomed to leave it in such places. On the following morning, at seven o'clock, I went to look for iI, and it was gone. Joseph Goodenough I am a haulier, living al Tiosnant. On the 12th May the prisoner came to me to ask for a job, and said he would lend me some harness if I would give him a job of hauling to do. The next morning he brought the harness, having brought it from under ihe tunnel, by the tram-road. When he gave it to me, he told me to say it was mine, as he had "cabbaged" it. William Rogers I am a constable, and received a pair of trares from Joseph Goodenough. The traces were produced, and shown to James George, who said he had repaired Ihem, and placed a mark upon them. James George identified the harness as the property of C .H Leigh, Esq. William Walters also identified the traces as those he had been accustomed 10 use for four or five years. The prisoner said he had lived in Pontypool for twenty years, and was wett-known and it would be a very foolish thing for him to steal the tracew, to destroy the good character which he had always borne. He had never been charged with anything of the kind before. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a; verdict of Guilty. William Rogers recommended the prisoner to the leniency of the court, and a written character was produced from Mr. Wm. Young, who had several limes employed him. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, in the House of Correction, at hard labour. This closed the second day's proceedings. [Continued in third lIa,!{e.]
THE CIRCUITS' COMMISSION.
THE CIRCUITS' COMMISSION. Her Majesty having issued a commission to inquire whether any improvement could be made in the arrangements for holding the assizes, See., the judges have made their repurt, which has just been published. After stating the inconveniences of the preseot periods of holding the assizes, ond of a third circuit, they sny-Ifll appears to us that the necessity for a third circuit, for criminal cases, with its attendant disadvantages, may be obvi- ated, and the benefit of a more speedy trial of offenders obtained, by a peimaneni arrangement, whereby the circuits may occur at equal intervals of lime, and the business be equally distributed between the winter and summer assizes. And this can only be done by an alteration in the time of holding the spring circuit fnr 10 alter the summer circuit, and 10 fix it during the monlh. ot September and October, would, we are convinced, be inexpe- dient. It would take from the bar aod the judges, and iodeed the whole legal profession, that wholesome vacation which alone, by its annual recurrence, biings them back wilh minds refreshed by leisure and varied study, to their important duties, and it would be to devote a period of the year to the assizes at which the gentlemen and farmers of the countiy, who to general have to act as jurymen, are otherwise much engaged. In order, ihetefore, 10 divide the year equally, the spring assizes must begin early in January; we think about the llh of January would be found most convenient, as being immediately after the Christmas quar- ter sessions, when the gaols will have been delivered of the smaller offences by the local magistracy. In order to accomplish this, Hilary Term must be changed." The Commissioners say—" We propose, then, to leave Michaelmas term untouched, to make a vacation of a week between it and a new term still to be called Hilary term, which should end on the 23rd of December, and to leave Easter and Trinity ternH, and the vacations after each, un. touched. The legal year would then stand thus .—November the 2nd to November the 25th, Michaelmas term; November the 25lh 10 the 2nd of December, vacation; the 2nd of Decem- ber to the 23rd of December, Hilary term December the 23rd to April the 25ili, vacation and the test of ihe year as at present. The vacation between Hilary and Easter terms would suffice far the assizes and sittings aDd the deficiency of three weeks lost to the sIttings by the short vacation between Michaelmas and Hilary terms may then be supplied at the discretion of the respective chief judges of each court. We would limit that discretion only bv forbidding sittings after the 11th of January, and before the 1st of March." They also recommend to separate Yorkshire from the rest of the Northern districts, not, however, to annex it to any other circuit, but to form it, as it were, into a new circuit of itself, and that the additional labour be imposed upon those whose present duties are the lightest, namely, the judges tia- velling the Norfolk circuit, in addition 10 their own circuit, after their ordmary labours shall hove terminated. The preent time Occupied in tiavel'.ing this circuit does not much exceed three weks--the additional duly would perhaps double it. To effect these changes, the aid of Ihe legislature will be required, and some alteration in the time for the next appointment of sheriffs must be made, otherwise the existing officers will in many cases be obliged 10 serve at three assizes.
FALL OF THE MARINERS' CHAPEL,…
FALL OF THE MARINERS' CHAPEL, AND A PUBLIC HOUSE. Sunday morning, about three o'clock, the piemises in the pos- session of the Rev. G. Smllh, 17, Welclose-»quare, London, which were occupied us a Mariners' Clturch, Naval and Military Office, and Sailors' Orphan Asylum, logether with the public- hosse, known as the Mahogany Bar, fell with a tremendous crash. The matron of the Orphan Asylum slates lhat ?ho lly before the building fell she heard several Inoe bricks and pieces of plaster falling on the sky light over the back part of ths church which extends beyond the rear of the premises, and h, ar- ing much knocking and bustle in the Mahogany Bar, she fered some accident, and temoved the children from tile upper pa t of the house to the vestry of the church, and immediarelyaroused the schoolmaster. Before they could possibly effect their escape, the whole of the premises fell in a moment. It has been stated thllt the accident was caused in consequence of the recent removal of the flooring of the church. No altera- tion, that in the slightest degree affected the stabiliiy of the buildings were made on Mr. Smith's premises. On inquiiy we find that the landlord of the public-house slated, on the previous day, to Mr. Jennings, a builder, who resides in the square, that a considerable portion of the party wall of his huuse, which im. mediately adjoins the Mariners' Church, had fallen into his cellar on thai day. We understand that some months since, when the saloon 31 the rear of the public-house was being hulll, an excavation was made there far a cess pool, and many altera- tions on the premises of the Mahogany Bar were made at the same time. The fate of the house, therefore, need not exerte surprise. We understand lhat the poor hide children escaped in almost a state of otfdity, and that the whole of the furniture, a large stock of books and pamphlets belonging to the British and Foreign Seamen's and Soldiers' Friend Society, church fillings, consisting of pews, forms, and nearly ihe whole of the clothing of the master, mistress, and children, lie buried beneaih the ruins, and are, it is expected, completely destioyed.

Since the removal of Martha HrJuy 10 Bedlam, for having, while in a fit ofinsauity, murdered Ihe iofant son of John Drake Finch, Esq., the bereft mother has received a letter from the matron, stating thai the unhappy girl's head had been shaved, agreeably to the practice in that institution, and she had been habited in the prison diess. I he matron in her letter also de- clares that the unfortunate creature is no more mad thao herself. MAHGATE, SATUKOAY.—At three o'clock this day we were visited with one of those grand yet awful occurrences, awhirt wind; itcame(rom the west, as though a misty cloud played upon ihe water round the inside of the harbour; at last, dashing across in a direct line, it carried a large timber from a vessel laden with il several yards, and tbe boat of ihe same vessel was held some seconds from the ground by the fearful violence cf the gale, and was lodged ou the sand, keel upwards. The whirlwind dislodged letters from the General Steam Navigation Company's office, and smashed several windows at the ork Hotel, and most extraordinarily removed a skylight from a house in King.street, 300 or 400 yards in the very direction whence the wind came. EDINBURGH, JUNE 55.-The elctí()n of a representative for the county of Edinburgh to supply the vacancy caused by the lesignalion of Mr. Ramsay, of Barnton, took place this day. At twelve o'clock Sir John Hope, of Pinkie, Bart., accompanied by J a large body of his friends, took his place on the hustings, when the hon. barouel was elected without opposition. A radish has lately been picked in the garden of Mr. William Smith, of Lickey's End, Bromsgroye, whtch messuies twehe inches in circumference, 1
SPORTING. .
SPORTING. TATTERSALL'S.—MONDAY, JUNE 30. The greater part of the betting yesterday afternoon was on the Goodwood Stakes, for which we ate enabled to append a formidable string of favourites; premising, however, that al- though many were backed, the run was all in favour of Libel, l'ythia, /Egis. and Venus the odds quoted are closing ones. Two even bets were laid between lots of twelve and thirteen and the field. The Liverpool Cup was touched upon, but in a way to show that the betting is not likely to be very extensive; although about 130 horses have been handicapped, and the ac- ceptances are not to be declared for some days, Winesour, on the strength of the Newcastle tunning, the handicap, we be- lieve, having been made previously, was backed at 8 to 1, and we are informed (hat a point less was taken the day before. 10 to 1 was also taken in fifties about Trueboy, and at the close 9 to 1 offered currently on the field. Nothing worth more than the quotations were done on the St. Leger and Derby, and to the best of our knowledge the only bet on the Goodwood Cup was 15 to 1 to a small sum against Arundo. Closing alverages LIVERPOOL CUP. 9 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's Winesour. 10 to 1 agst Mr. Meiklam's Trueboy. GOODWOOD SlAKES. 5 to I agst Kent's lot. 13 to 1 agst Mr. A. W.

ALTERATION IN THE LAWS OF CRICKET.—The alterationfo in the laws of cricket, as revised by the members of the Marylebone Club, came into operation on Monday. The tenth law (as amended) now stands thus:—The ball must be bowled, not thrown or jerked, and the hand must not be above the shoulder in delivery and whenever the bowler shall so closely infringe on this rule as to make it difficult for the umpire to judge whether the ball has been delivered within the true intent and meaning of this rule, the umpire shall call no ball." 'I'he twelfth law-If the bowlei shall toss the ball over the striker's head, or bowl it so wide as not fairly to be within reach of the batsman, the um- pire shall adjudge one run to the parly receiving the innings, and such ball shall not be reckoned as one of the tour balls but if the batsman can bring himself within reach of the ball, the run shall not be adjudged. GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.— The grand review, which was intended to have taken place on Satuiday last, but post- poned in consequence of the very unfavourable state of the wea- ther, took place on Monday morning in HIlJe Park, in the pre- sence of her Mnjesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albeit, and their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duke of Wellington, and other illustrious and noble personages. Not- withstanding the early part of the morning wasvery unpropitiuus, a vast concourse of persons assembled in the patk. A few minutes before eleven o'clock the line was formed for the recep- tion of her illaiestv and her illustrious visitors. The 1st and 3d battalions occupied the right. and the 1st and 2d battalions of Scots Fusileer Guards the left front, the 1st and 2d Regiment of Life Guards the extreme right. The 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons, from Hounslow. with a detachment 01 the 2d baiaiion of Grenadier Guards from the Tower, kept the ground. General the Hon. E. Lygon commanded the cavalry, Colonel Drum. mond the infantry, and Viscount Combermere commanded in chief. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquess of Anglesea, Lord Saltoun, and several other officers of distinction arrived on the ground at eleven o'clock. The royal party was received with militaiy honours, the bands playing the national anthem. After the line was inspected it broke into subdivisions, and marched pant in slow and quick time, afier which several evolutions were per. formed with the utmost precision, firing by platoons, sections, and small files. The regiments then wheeled into line and fired a volley, and a general salute was given. Her Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians arrived in an open landau, and appeared in excellent health and spiiils, and were hailed with every de- monstration of loyalty. THE LAW OF DEODANDS.—By the Bill now before the House of Commons (which has passed the House of Lords,) all deo- dands and forfeiture of chattels moving to or causing death, are to be abolished from and after the 1st September next. THE CONIF.T.-At Medina del Campos, on the 12th of June, at 9 hours 45 minutes P.M..observed a comet at about 10 degrees above horizon, and five degrees noi th of magnetic north nucleus of considerable magnitude, perhaps three times the apparent size of Jupiter, tail broad, and two or three degrees in length. Its brightness was sufficient to catch the eye with readiness. Tne night was clear, the moon shining brightly. Being only pro- vided with a small field-glass, and having no theodolite or similar instrument with us, we could not take any accurate observation of its position. &e. GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS.-On Mon- day the foot race between Openshaw (of Bury) and Cook (the Greenwich cowboy), two well-known runners, came off at the Rosemary Branch grounds, at Peckham. The distance contested was ten miles, and the affair attracted a large assemblage of per. sons. In betting Openshaw was the favourite. The ground was measured and other preliminaries arranged, when the start was effected both men rattled away at a quick pace, and covered the first mile in five minutes, ten seconds. They continued at their match and performed the fourth mile in twenty-two minutes and ten seconds, Cook being at a lead of forty yards, and half the contesting distance was IItromplished by Cook in thirty minutes and fifteen seconds, and at 120 yards advance; at the seventh mile Cook appeared to relax his speed, and Openshaw made ground. Both men appeared distressed at the eighth mile, but exerteil every effort for the gaol, and at the turn of the ninth mile Cook was at a good lead, and obviously had winning cer- tain. His opponent struggled, but without avail, and Cook ran in an easy winner, amidst the cheers of his friends. The ten miles of ground was run over by the winner in 6S minutes, 35 seconds. Money was circulated freely, and a large amount was transferred on this occasion.

He was going to retaliate, when deceased said, You are no man to strike a woman." Wallace, turning upon deceased, enquired "Cm you fight 1" and the latter answered Yee, enough for you." Wallace then stiuck him on the head, and ihey closed and fell. They had two more rounds, in each of which Wallace both butted and struck deceased with his fist in the lower part of the abdomen and left groin, knocking him down each time. After the last fill deceased complained of great pain all over him, and beini unable to walk, the landlord of the house, after giving him some cordial, caused him lo be carried home.

PROIECTIB RAILWAYS BEFORE PARLIA'IENT.-A very cutious reluin has just been laid before the house, in relation to pro- jected railways now before Parliament. It thence appears that the railways of which plans and sections have been deposited with the Railway Department of the Board of Trade amount in length, for Great Britain and Ireland, to no less than 8,980 miles, being thus nearly 24 times the length of England itself! The following are the proportions of the lines proposed to be made in the different countries of the United Kingdom Eng- land has as her share of these projected railways, 6,685 miles and a fraction; Scotlaud has about 1-IOlh the quantity-the proposed lines in that country only extending to 595 miles Ire- land, however, is far a-head of Caledonia ia this respect; and the Sister Isle has no fewer than 1,401 miles of railway projected to be laid down therein. These statements have regard only to the projected lines which are this session before Parliament for consi. deration. They do not include any portion of the numerous lines that have since, and are weekly, or rather daily, beiug brought forward, but merely give the length of the railways, plans for which were deposited with the Board of Trade towards the close of last year, in accoidance with the directions issued by the Rail- way Department of that board.—Globe.
