Heir Hilde brandt therefore makes his first may before his geglhh entice with a very favourable Mirodectioe ; and for ear owe part we are happy to recognise in his works • Wait for sketching of the highest order, with an appreciation of the capabilities of water-colour, and • power of enmities rarely observable out of the &gash schooL As a timelier, But Hildebrendt meet be as bold and daddies as be is as an artist, and hie meal serves to record his °Wareham with a mint end truth which strike the mind perhaps more &early and with a more Isaias impres sion than many written dem:Minos. An artist traveller, indeed, lays us snider dem obliestions for many teachings which we should never get is any other way, and we can never my too moth fl make of tuedertakings like this of Herr Hlldebraiedt, especially when at the same time thaws, are learning se muck that is novel and strange ; we are delighted with the 'Lanai, feeling for beasty that is shown universally in the treatment of every scene. Of course the general purpose of Herr Hildebrandt in making a journey in search et the new pichusegge, of such extant and neeemarily so rapid, was to make characteristic and truthful sketebes, sot highly flunked drawings. Hut there are ameept his works several which are remarkable for the best qualities of the art. such es the drawing of the famous Masque at Asra, is which the effect of the glaring sunlight epee the white pertebleis reechoed to perfection, or some of the esily moraine esed evening views on the rivers in Chios, end espeeially the Octane of the awful typhoons of the Eastern sees. The smell drawing (106), a Taifoon on the coast of Japan, is as fine • specimen of the art of water-colorer as anything that Copley Fielding reser psioted. The Chinese Undone., however, we could imagine, does not offer any very tempt. ing wear to the printer. except in the mountains= pate of the country, and Her Hildebrandt has game* pre. ferred to plsot his sketehdng stool in the streets of the cities of Canton and Pekin, on the banks of the rivers, and is the ports of Memo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. He ap pears, from the &avast of his trash, prefixed to the eatelogue, to have made an Incursion epos lathe, v lag Oryloc, Calcutta, Cawapore, Luciano, Allaltaked, and Bewares, but there are very few drawiags of any of these plasm included in the present exhibilios, All this pound, sad mach more, tip to the very blase heights of the Fliffia. loran had been gone over by an English artist, Mr. ammo°, and with a completeness and artistic ability which left little to be desired, as all will acknowledge who remember the exhibiting of thatepetleman'seolleatiosiat the German Celery. Herr liddebeandl, however. has mate bated • very valuable and exceedingly interesting series of views and theracterinie sketches of the people of China, Japan, and Manilla. Never before have the straits of the cities of Canton and Pekin been so well painted ; the artist's eye for acacia and kale perception of character have led him to seise on everything descriptive, eignificant, and picturesque. The crowd outside the "Sing Sorg' theatre at Memo, and the interior of the same place, with its strange audience of apelike Malays hanging on epee the bamboos that ere placid across the theatre for seats, are most curious pictures of Chaim vulgar life. The people I are such inveterate theatre-goers that they take pomesion of the pia/need keep it all day if they an, in mite of the managers, who attack them at the end of each two hours' perform's°, with " jets of water end showers of small pro jectiles." The large drawiags (77, 78, 79) of the main street is Tientsin. with the long strips of colosseff cloth bonging down before every shop from the top el the house to the grimed, blaring the bright Chinese symbols, ea we bass ant ear nor boards, and crowded with busy Chiamess, are some if the best of their kind in the exhibition. The circular street in Pekin, and the views of the Imperial Palace and the Summer Felice, me also noticeable for the same ex cellent truth in the general appouence of these singular plans. The palaces, however, in them drawings suggest but little of the fancied aplsadoer we have attacked to them ; they show very little bright colour, and no sort of architectural pretensicen. The pagodas also do not tare very well et Herr Hildebrandt's hands, appearing 'gene rally as very tnnible-down strecturee, and with now of the brilliant ornaments that we expected to see. The river scenes, with the various forms of births, the boatmen and the flower-boats, which are the sort of floating Creinorne pm. Tided for the Chinese of the great cities, are all touched with the genie picturesque feeling, and at the same timer° evidently tree. There is an admirable view of Nagasaki, with its gulfs and sandy beaches, running up far into a pretty country of %adulating hills and distant mountains, abounding in • luxuriant • gro*th of low shrubs sad bees. The streets in Manilla are surprisingly neat, thiamine quite European. sad ver► like some of our old timber houses is the old towns, with the addition el a good deal of green, red, sod yellow en the woodwork. The people of Manilla are a great improvement on the Chinese, some of the women being really dark bombs., but Herr Hilde brandt has not introduced any figures that do justice to their reputation in the drawings exhibited, whatever his portfolio may contain. Herr Hildebrandt has, it appears, extended his tour to San Francisco, and we can only re gret that his sketches is this bisarre quarter of the world are not exhibited with, aces we have noticed ; indeed, such is the interest of the rolieedoe that no part of it should be left out. SOME ORIGINAL TiinrireEs. —I remember once-- I it is a good army years now—haviag formed a chasm ao quainiance with a gentleman at a watering-plaoe, whose manners were sufficiently pleasisg, and whose cone cation, besides being that of a oultivated and sesomplisked mind, I displayed a vein of originality that made him amazing. He was evidently one who formed his owe °pinkie, and took nothing on the score of its general acceptame by others. It is not impossible that, seeing how I relished his turn for independent observation, be indulged the taste to its full extant ; for, certainly, in the few weeks we passed to gether, the re was scarcely a topic oa which we talked that he did not eavess some new and remarkable judgment When we parted, he gave me an invitation to " his little place in Staffordshire ;" but I mislaid the addrem, and forgot him. Years afterwards there came a letter from him presenhug his friend. Mr. Somebody, who, he said. had been speediog some time with him, and who se "tone of mind and temper he thought I would like. resembling so strongly those traits I was once so kind as to be attracted by in himself.' His friend was, however, by no means to my taste, and I was sot sorry to say adieu to him. Various others came after this, with letters from the same quarter' they were all " original thinkers," and he only regretted he " could not make bee of us in those delightful conver sations he knew we were enjoying." It is not enough to say that these people were chstutefol—they were positively odious to me. How I bad been represented to them by soy Staff ordakire friend I know not; but they approached me at ones on terms of easy intimacy ; they ma d e them selves at borne, in the most atrocious acceptance of the word, and repaid me by "original thoughts"—that is, by the most extraordinary license of opinion on every subject, and by exsemes of language which I oonld only regard as outrage. Driven at lest to the utmost limit of endurance, r wrote to my friend a very civil but determined note, sm earing him that he had not taken a just measure of my testes or habits in he late letters of presentation, and de claring for the future that I desired to assert my privilege to choose the persons of my acquaintance, and not incur the doable disappointment which might, and did often, arise from uncongenial intimacies. I received the following reply :—" Sir —I respectfully beg to return the letter which wa s addresse d by you to Mr. Thomas Lethbridge, and which a severe relapse renders him totally unable to appreciate or reply to. As his awe is only mania, I hope a few weeks' ' care and treatment will restore him to comparative calm and intelligence. Meanwhile, sir, I will take measures that you should not be farther molested by the patients of ' this establishment, who very frequently are withdrawn by their friends before the perfection of their cure, and ' while still labouring under many of the delusions which formed the ground of their admiseion.—l am your respect- L fill servant, Onorraxv Winer; Directing Physician of i St. Kitt's, Staffordshire."

PROGRESS OF THE SPRING CAMPAIGN. TO TRX EDITOR OP TR/ Su,—Whether oft account of the difficulty and expense of getting horses to Aintree, or of the new " ing" law, or the fear-inspiring hoot that held . wa y up t o Monday last, the Liverpool Spent Meeting came to sod gnef, so far ea ite manor mete were sioneened.

This, however, was a host in itself, with its thirty sinners, startling result, sad perils* meted, the handi capper being* off • meat signal triumph of doll, whisk was the mesas of bruising out an extraordinary sad almost unprecedented field, whilst the struggle ended in favour of one of those despised outsiders the donned of the talent would not believe had • chance, despite his eviler investing in his favour at 1,000 to 15, 1,000 to 20, sad 1,001 to 25, until he had backed hi m t o w i n the nice little sum of 2 7,0001.—perhaps the largest amorist say one petty stood to win on any horse in the ram, although same Diners had their thousands on. Bat Mr. Studd beaked his Salamander like a pntlemas, doing the principal part of tits bansess himself ; and the way he got on teaches • wholesome lesson to those witles s wiseacres who think there must be some mystery or trickery before a " good thine can be properly backed. The very fa c t o f there being no one of note " put in" to back Salamander kept the public off, and ninety-nine out of • !notched spoon talon had no ides of the horse visaing, for his per formances were hitherto most arretehel, and those who saw Mr. Studd getting on thought he was backing the hone manly because it belonged to him, as be put just as much, or more, money on the Dwarf, always • very bad horse last year. The only ap proach to a " trial ' he bad was at Belem when Sala mender ran in the nee won by Hornet s whose measure he 'got, It sinners, in an early part of the enoouster, though he was nowhere at she fi nish, having been amiss such a short Huse previously that ft might have ruined him to run the whole distance. There was a deal of luck, of course, in the matter, for in so large a fad the miebaos were bound to be numerous, and Salamander area one of the few that went the four miles without • blunder or disappointment. Not so the second and third to him, Cortolvin and Creole, who were seriously hindered by the riderless Philosopher and Hall Court keeping up with the leaders throughout, after pitting eompsey with their jockeys during the first mile, the latter not only running straight tome sae taking all the leaps, but finishing In the same plate as last year, second. There were many tumbles besides those of Philosopher sod Hall Court, with "De end "of eannen and refuels, Ibex, Ace of Hearts, West-end, Reporter, King of Heads, Laura, Stalk, Sir William, Milltown, Stanton, Columbia, Outier, and Garotter, having all ' been thrown out before they bed goes half the journey, and only two of them (Stella and Sing of Hearts) taking the waterjump—a most exciting performance to witoess—opposite the stand. la the second circuit of the course Alcibiade and Tkomestown swelled the number of casualties to about twenty ; and oa jumpier into the racecourse for the aim-furlong sun home there appeared but two In the rane—Salamander and Creole. A short spirt, and the latter was beaten, and his place was taken by Oar tolvin, who, however, never approached Salamander, the outsider winning as easily as the Grand National ever was I won. The race altogether was s nee facer for those who I will have it the genuine steeplechasers out have no charms with racehorses over Aintree, for the four that ran home first were never heard of on the flat, though both the sire (Pitmen) and grandsire (Charles XIL)of Salamander wars . knows.

The hest of the trio must be about doing the trick, it being just Auditoria course, and if beaten the feet will probably be performed by her or Staghound. Both the two-year-old rime are in the dark, as the beet of the public horses engaged in them is but moderate; sad the only illmiMmite affairs I ma I meddle with are the two principal steeplechases. The Grand Ascual, four miles, will be pretty beady a repetition of the Liverpool Grand - National, so as farconcerns the colours p for Mr. Staid has Lord George to mist Salamander representing his red and white garter, zed Lord Perak* Imiellan to displace Cortolvis, if he pleases, whilst Mr. Welfitt's Creole is in at • weight rather more lenient than that be carried the other day. The contest may show how meek' Gortolvin and Creole were hindered when succumbing to Salamander ; but I do not impost either will turn the tables, and shall be surprised at anything beating Mr. Seudd's Irish-bred hero beyond 'ensiles, who will prove the beet outsider in the race, if backed in earliest. The Grand Military Gold Cup, throe miles, has Merrimac and Glen cairn, of the Liverpool performers, engaged ; but there are acme novices MODS their opponents, and it strikes • me ne ither can give the wMght to the steeling Bolingbroke gelding.

Few of the 01. ttt " coripleted races are worth discussing now, it being more than probable that a "dark " two-year-ol d will win both the Hopeful and Betting-room Stakes, whilst until the Loodeeborough Plate, wherein Skylark meet run well, is decided, there will be no other legitimate event in a condition to receive notim. The Greet North of Steeplechase ought to attract Alcdbiade ; still, he declined ' to accept for Warwick, and in his absence Church Militant may carry the prize into Golby's stable. Crouton Park has sot, improved by taking to the Friday before. instead of after, Northampton ; and ail I eat say of the poor programme is, that Lord Wilton in the Granby, and Mr. Chaplin and Mr. Craven in the other handicaps, look like winners, and that Loehiel, in the ammo of Memanate, ham little to fear in the Belvoir Conk imam am, METEOR.. L P.B.—lneellan having broken down on Thursday last, there is nothing but Creole to jeopardise Salamander's chance for the Grand Annual Steeplechase at Warwick, ' as Cortolvin (who was at least a stone worse than Innellas at the weights when they were tried together) cannot hope to improve the position he occupied with Mr. StuM's I horse on Wednesday last. Warwick, Monday. TATTERSALL'S—M=6T. The settling day on 'great race is always a special day at Tot- tersalre ; bat never since the Duke won the Liverpool Grand , National in 1867 has that event been productive of such grand and signal results as in 18641. Here was a horse (Salamander) pooh-poohed and despised by "the Talent," even at the dart, that came and won as he Wred with, odds of 40 to 1, and in I several instances 10 points more sgahart him, as the Geld of 30 i were being marshalled to the port, and yet he won as easily as Gladstone carries his Animas' measures.

(From the Londonderry Standard.) On Monday, the 20th February, an important preliminary meeting was bold at the Provout's house, 'Tn. I nity College, Dublin, the Lord Bishop of Derry is the 1 chair, when the following resolution was manimosly adopted, viz.:—" Resolved,—That inasmuch as it has ' been lately asserted th at the members of th e U n it e d ' Chureh of England and Ireland are generally agreed in desiring the introduction of a denominational system of education, it is of the utmost importance to give robin expression at the present time to the opinion of those who are in favour of the maintenance in Ireland of the system of united secular Instruction." In pursuance of this resolution, the subjoined decla ration wee drawn up, signed by the noblemen and gentle- Ines presoak and transmitted to influential parties con nected with the Established Church in Ireland for me current signature, via. :—" We the undersigned members of the United Church of England and Ireland desire to ex press our earnest hope that the principle of united mauler education, as opposed to the denominational system, may be main tained in Ireland. Without pledging ourselves to an approval of the national system in all respects, we en tirely admit the justice and policy of the rule which two tents scholars from isterference with their religious prin ciples, and thus enables the members of different denomi nations to receive together, to harmony and wee, the be nefits of a good education." The ancetaties to the meeting were Lord Oxmantown, the Very Rev. Jobe C. Mac Do n Dean of Cashel, John H. Ulan., F.T.C.D., and Fran cis La Tourshe, J.P. Amongst the signatures attained to the declaration ere those of the Lord Primate of all Imbued, the Lord Bishops of Derry, Dora and Connor, Limerick, Killaloe, and Kilmer., the Earls of Oranard, Arm, Cherie moat, Anneeley, and Ross*, Lords Poweeseourt, Clonbrock, °reamers and Browns, Hon.

P. Dawson. ALP., ho. This declaration is both seasonable and neoeasery, in consequence of the repeated assertiom of Ullmann tiudeni that the Established Church porky, meaning the " Church Education" section, are favourable to the es. tablishment of denominational education, in lien of the present national system ; and, some years . ago, there was certainly a little sequetting of this description in various quieter.. The "Church Edneation" party, we believe, have now had their eyes opened to the ooneequenaes of this fatal policy, and episcopalism', we doubt not, whenever the moment for anted action shall arrive, will be found ema ciated with preebyterlans, and evangelical nonconformists generally, in resisting the aggremion now openly meditated. The earreepondente between her Majesty's government and Dr. Cullen, Dr. Mao Hale, ho., has revealed the length and breadth of theenormonsdemiulsputforward,and while emery . . just claim will be fairly satieite‘m a matter both of social equity and of sound police, a determined opposition must be maintained spinet the introduction of a prbmtly abso lutism, older state sanction, which absolutism no Roman eatholle goveremsot in Europe would tolerate at the pra se.* day. The friends of united education have bees fro. quently indebted to the Lord Bishop of Derry—the Right Rev. Dr. Higgin—for many valuable servioes on former oc casions, and the excellent declaration above quoted, with its influential array of signatures. is a movemest of incal culable importance at the right moment of the educational crisis now pending. PARLIAMENTARY °ATMS BILL—Mr. Disraeli gave Oaka bat night of his intention to propose the following form of oath in substitutiou of that proposed by the govern meet :—" I, A B, do swear that I will be faithful sad bear true allegiance to her Majesty Qssen Victoria, her heirs and successors.

After a short retirement devoted to rest, rethoorasion of the hall, and reconstruction of an entertainment which has rivalled in enduriog popularity anything ever given by the late Albert SMith, Mr. Arthur Sketchley again ap peared before his friends the public hat night, and was welcomed by an appreciative audience. His new venture is called Mrs. Bressli.ost hone mid Abroad, and gives a light graphic aaooaat, illuetratesi by-very effective soenery, of a voyage down the Thames and, up the Rhine, the old lady from St. George's-in-the-Lit whe has so long amused the public in the west being, of cow se, the centre figure. Other characters are introduced—a Frenchman, I proud of his knowledge of Eaglish, which is very imper fect, who makes a wonderful jumble of the Rhine legends, and Mr. Brown, who is the type of an obstinate " working man;" but Mrs. Brown, with her constant references to the humbler features of Landon life, is still deservedly the chief attraction. No single character, tot even excepting Mr. Albert Smith's celebrated "engineer," has borne so much reproduction without becoming tiresome, and her appetrance in the midst of new scenes and ssicciatione is likely to tiff the hall for many n , ghts to come. The views which Mr. Sketchley has bad painted to illustrate Mrs. Brown's journey are admirably adapted for a miniature stage, and the murk is supplied by an ingenious mechanical piano which performs brilliant operatic selections with un erriog preccsion. The new decorations of the hall are neat and agreeable, and care has been taken to make the audi mos comfortable.

Sir Rowland Bleonerhassett will not stand, and therefore Mr. Herbert will have • quiet walk-over. The election is to take place on Friday next." THAMES Ancitmo.—A correspondent of the West Surrey Tames writes—" I have heard of some excellent takes at the close of the fishing season, especially in the beautiful piece of water running between . be two locks of Idonleey and Sunbury, a distance of about three miles. One angler, who had been perch fishing for several dem took on en average 20th. of fish each day, one day's capture reach ing 331 b. Others, whilst fishing with Clark of Sunbury, have been equally successfuL Angling for roach has also been satisfactory, one gentleman taking ten dozen excel lent fish In good condition in one day. There have been seine good baskets of perch taken from the neighbour hood of Teddington Look by some of the fishermen there. The water has been in a bad state for Jack fishing, and consequently angling for them has been useless to attempt. The high state of the river has carried shoals of small fry into the ditches, but the assistant riva keepers of the Thames Angling Preservation Society have been employed is returning them to their proper place. It will be satisfactory to those interested in fish culture to know that the young fry in the hatching apparatus at Hampton are doing well, sad that they have not in any way suffered from the severity and changeableness of the weather ; but this is not to be wondered at, from the care and interest which Mr. Ponder bestows upon his young family. When I was over there on Saturday last, I found that that gentleman bad received a box of trout sus from Pianos in capital condition, which on being planed in the trough looked very healthy. The eggs were very fine, and shout the size of those taken from the Thames trout ; they were from river trout, which are not of, e migratory cha racter." Borrmi or THE DODO.—A single foot and an old painting in the British Museum, • head in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford—such have been for many years the only °video:ea on which naturalists have had to rely to prove the existence of that singular extinct bird, the Dodo of the Mauritiva. On this alight foundation anatomists have built up a superstructure reconstructing the entire bird, evolving the remainder, as a German would say, out of the depths of their liner coescionsness. It is quite true, as subeemieut discoveries have proved, that some of their suggestions were erroneous : thus Professor Owen formerly maintained that the dodo was an enormous wingleasvultuni. But the more elaborate investigations of Messrs. Strick land and Melville proved that the bird really was a gigantic ground-pigeon, doubtlees feeding its young with the milky sscretioe of its crop, like the whole of the columbine birds of the present day. The views of Messrs. Strickland and Melville as to the structure of the dodo have been remarkably borne out by the discovery of • large number of the bones of the bird in a until morass in the Mauritius, known as the " Mare aux Souses,' which had been drained for agricultural purposes. These bones have been carefully examined, and an elaborate and very valuable paper descriptive of the oeteolou of the animal was recently read before the Zoological Society by Profes sor Owen. Is addition to a complete set of the bones re tained for the national collection in the British Museum, a considerable number of duplicates have been obtained. These will be sold by auction by Menus. Stevens, of King street, to-day. They are arranged in eight lots, so as to make each one as complete as possible. This sale, like that of the eggs of the great ink and dinornir, will doubt less excite much interest amongst naturalists. A BOY Blonmr.ar.s.—On Sunday afternoon last • boy aged 11 years, named Frederick Mason. was taken into costody at Bessecar, near Doncaster, on the charge of attempting to murder Patrick Davies, aged 5, and Margaret Davies, aged 3 years, brother and sister. The attempt was most determined and deliberate. In the neighbourhood of Ressingtos • number of navvies are em. ployed by Messrs. Smith, Knight, and Co., the contractors for the Doncaster and Gaineborough Railway, and the ehil. dren Davies, as well as NYC'S, are the offspring of parents residing there. Mason was employed by • neighbouring farmer to tend one of his fields to keep the crows away ; and he went on Sunday and enticed thechildren Davies with him. It appears that about 2 o'clock Meson began to beat them with • stick upon the head, and when both became insen sible be threw them into the River Toro, which runs close by. The children began to cry, and he took them out and coin s:mooed average assault upon them, inflicting fearful wounds on the head and face. When he had made them insensible a second time he threw them again into the Torn, but fortunately the water was not more than six inche s deep. The water revived them, and Patrick held his sister's head above water ; end as soon as Mason bad gone away he began to call for resistance, and his ones attracted the attention of one of the navvies in the locality, who, knowing them, removed both to their father's hat, between Remington and Besmear. A messenger was sent to Doncaster for Mr. J. Lister, surgeon, who, wilier at Bouncer, found the children greatly injured. The little girl was unable to speak for more than two hours, sad the boy on being rescued was even in a more dangerous state. The former told her parents that Mason bad beaten them sad thrown them twice into the river ; and, acting upon this information, Policeman Cowen apprehended him, and he at once, and with a careless indifference, admitted that he bad done as the girl bad said. The boy was in so dangerous • state yesterday morning that it wee feared he would not survive. Mason will be brought up this morning (Tuesday), but for remand only until Saturday. CHARINO-CROBE HOTEL COMPANY.—An extraor dinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at the hotel, for the purpose of confirming certain resolutions passed at a previous meeting, giving the directors power to borrow an additional sum of 20,0001. to enable them to extend the premises, which bad bees found to be too limited for the demands upon the accommodation of the establishment. The Hon. J. Byeg presided, and formally moved the adoption of the resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, and the proceedings terminated.

Charles Agretoii, • young man, having the aliases of ',map. sett, Clifton, Ito., was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining by false peetenoes the sum of 10a. from Mr. str Reginald Yorke, of No. 45, SR James's-place, St. Jainis'a• eet. Mr. Yorke said that on the 12th February he left the St. James's Club, and when he got to his door some one said, " Well, old fellow, I must offer you • thousand apologies for stopping you, bat I want to speak to you." On twniog rained he saw the prisoner, who told him • long story to the effect that he was a gentleman, and had been an officer in an Hussar regiment, and that, like many other Twang men, he bad kept • young woman, led a dissipated life, end gone " down the hill.* The climax of the story was that he had forged his father's name to • bill for 4501. He said Cox and Co., the army agents, knew all about him end would speak of him, and on hie &eking for some money he gave the prisoner 10s., believing his story. The prisoner again saw him, and on telling him that he was going to see Mr. Woodgate, one of the Oxford boat, at Richmond, he gave him sums cleans 'to assist him in going. The prisoner also told him that his father kept • hall in Sussex, and his brother a villa at Venice ; but from inquiries be (Hr. Yoshi) bad =t a b* found that he was not ]mown at Cox's, neat the War-c ; and no molt pence of that name had a hall is Sussex, and instead of his brother being at Yanks, he was in prima for an omnibus robbery.

She was searched, and under her stays were found a pair of shoes, and wound round bet body were a pair of sheets, the property of the guardian'. Prisoner, who refused to plead, was fully committed for trial. Jane Pollard was charged with drunken and disorderly conduct. Staid'll, the porter and doorkeeper, deposed that on Sunday afternoon the pneoser returned slightly the worm for liquor, end was allowed to go into ber ward. She had not been there long before she oommitted an assault upon another woman, and was then placed in the casual ward. liereshe shouted and shrieked in inch a frishtfol mouser as to canoe several housekeepers living close by to come to the gate and complain. Prisoner refuted to desiat, and was looked up. Three days' imprisonment. LAMBETH. Charles Pearson, who has bi;e;sin custody for a week on a charge of burglary and robbery at Lambeth Palace the town residence of his Grace the Archbishop of Contorbary, wee again placed at the bar before Kr.

MANlnetrairrEa.—Last evening an inquiry was held by Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, on the death of John LOTMAN. aged 30, as omnibus driver, alleged to have been killed by Thomas Brown, a pugilist. Police-constable John H. Thompson, 307 Y, said that at IS o'clock on the evening of Sunday February 11, he saw a man named Thomas Brown, try ing to force his way to the top of one of the omnibu s es at was etas 'lug outside the Archie,' Tavern, near Highgate - hill The deceased. who wee WI omnibus coachman in the employ of the Lon don General Omnibus Company, said, 'I shall not let you get upon the omnibus, because you are drunk." Brown ! then ran round to the from% of the omnibus, mad the deceased said, " You shan't get up there. You hare ' mosey, take a cab and ride home. You shan't ride here." Brown then said, "I shall ride in spite of you. I ate Toppee Brown, the fighting man of Caniden-town.* Brown thee attempted to get up on the front seat of the omnibus, and in trying to do so he threw his arms round the de ceased, who fell. While the deceased was on the ground he said, ' " Take that man into custody, for he has broken my leg.' Brown then swore a great deal, and he was removed to the Highgate police station. He was drunk at the time. He is a journeyman bootmaker, living in New Oxford-street The witness took the de ceased to King's College Hospital. Other witnesses corroborated the evidence of the police-constable. Dr. Evans said the deceased died on the Bth inst. His leg had been broken by the vicileue which he had received. A poet mortem examination of the deceased had been made, end it had been feud that the cause of death was epilepsy and inllsmmation of the lung " eructated with the injury which he had received to his leg." A juror said the medical witness placed them in a very awkward position by not stating whether the buten • leg was the cause of deceased's death. Dr. Evans said he could not positively state whether the injury to the leg accelerated deceased's death or not. The coroner having rammed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Thomas Brown for feloniously killing and slaying John Lowman.* THE WIGAN MIIIIMIIt. —The search of the mid for the watch of James Barton, the mine tester, who was murdered at the Button or Bawkhouse-pit, Haigh, near 1= on the night of the 2d of January, 1033, was Pol and nearly completed on Sunday last. A to the confession of one of the prisoners now lying =- dale gaol, this watch was thrown into the Leeds and Liver pool minal, about 20 yards from a row of henssa which stand seer to Pendlebury-bridge, some two and a ball miles from the borough of Wigan ; and at the last Liverpool anises an examination of the bottom of the canal was ordemed by Baron Pigott. After much delay the inspection was fixed to be made on Sunday week, but, owing to the water not having been properly dammed, another week bad to pass before the task could be performed. Oa Retarder work men employed by the canal company fixed the customary " sheeting ' at Gibson's-bridge, about half a mile from the Button-pit, and by means of new stop planks they also dammed tin water at Arley-bridge, nearly a mile farther ; north. This time they were strong enough, and neat morn ing at daylight 107 navvies from the Wigan Waterworks, in charge of Mr. Hunter, the borough eogiseer, to whom had been intrusted the management of the search, as well as 38 men furnished by the Canal Company, arrived at the spot to commence operations. They were armed with rude', riddle', barrows, and rakes, and they bad alms plentiful supply of planking with which they at once began to erect platforms upon which the mud could be thrown a° as to be conveyed more easily into the adjacent fields for subsequent examicatioo. Mile some were thus engaged others were raking the side nearest to the towing-path and carefully inspecting the gravel there. After these came a party who raised the mud from the bed of a little stream which ran down the centre, and scattered it over the gravel, and then these were followed by rakers again. All these bad a powerful stimulus to exertion in the shape of an offer of M. to the mu who should discover the watch. but though all worked bard from daylight to dark no one was successful enough to earl the reward.
