The eclkge boy, had been assembled in the College-yard, and received their visitors in a spirit of cor diality, a number of youths amongst them, who have been organised as a band of musicians, playing several airs during their stay, iu a style that elicited much admiration. The members subsequently assereqed at the Town-had, where the Lord Bishop of Mane*, liter having been coiled to the chair, the concluding meeting of the enninees was held.

TIIE ROYAL FORESTS COMMISSION.—The report of the cemusissioners appoints • in the session of 1849 to in quire into and repent upon the rights or claims over the 144 w-forest and Waltham-forest has Jost been finned. The report is accompanied by a eub-report by the secretary, Mr. J4seph Burnley Home, in eehich he enters into a de tailed history of the disputes which have existed for centu ries between the crown and the lords of the manors and the et-stammers, with regard to their respective forest rights. This reports contain several tithgestions for meeting tl.e cultic' which appear to beset the question, and recommend a reasonable agreement cr corepastion between the crown and the lovls of sannere, lardiwnen, and others in the forests. It is proposed that the deer (a fruitful source of pubic dew-n:1mo 'n) should be withdrawn, and the foresee " disafforested." If such an , grerintnt or comeceition can be effected, the eommission•rs submit whether it might be expedient for the crown or the publil to incur the heavy ex pense of alaintsioidg forestal rights ever the non-demesne portion of the feints for the beet fit of the local proprietary, and without any adequate advantage to the crown or public. With referenee to the dem Sr., portion of the forests, a searching inquiry might in either alternative be instituted, with a view to en immediate settlement of that portion of the forests, by an allotment to the eommonen of a certain part of the soil, is respect to the rights which might en such investigation be found to be legally exereiseable thereon. ' and by the reservation of the remainder in absolute severalty to the crown. With regard to the maintenance of the forest courts in Waltham-forest, the commissioners ex prise their unreserved condemnation of the unsatisfactory administration of justice therein, and submit that an ar rangement w'th the Earl of Mornington, in respect of his ridt,tx and privileges as hereditary rarger and chief executive officer, would probably, if not necessarily, be the best and most requisite step towards any improvement or estisfoctory settlement of the awn of Waltham-forest.

A WOMAN KILLED BY DES HIIIIBAND.—Mr. Palm, coroner foe the upper division of G.ouceatenhire, has been cccupied the greater part of to-day is holding an in quest on the body of Margaret Miller, who was killed by her husband, Jan Miller, on Friday, near Gloucester, by • violent blow inflicted by him upon the woman's breast, over the region of the heart. A short notice of the shocking eatastrophe appeared In Saturday's Erpress. The jury lest viewed the body, which presented no external marks of violence tempt over the breast, when the fatal blow wos 'truck. The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with, and occupied the rest of the day. The principal win eine wee a young man rained Edward Slimes, who was living wi h Miller and hi. wire at the time of the fatal quarrel. Sheran is a fancy basket and cane chairmeker trade, and had entered into an engagement of partnership with them. They had been at Worcester and Cheltenham together, and came to Gloucester on the 9th lust. They re mained there until yesterday, wan they agreed to go to Bristol together. They act out for this purpose at 1:: o'clock at noon, and had proceeded with their doe-cart sheet two miles on the road out of Gloucester, when the deceased and her husband quarrelled, on Recount of the latter refusing to carry a basket. Shoran walked on, and says that he heard stains, but that Miller walked hack towards his wife, who was loitering behind, sad with en oath 'aid he would "hit her a clout on the head." In a minute or two aft,' be (Shoran) heard Miler cull oat to him. " Edward Edward," and running bats be found him stooping over his wile, who was lying in the road apparently in a fit.

AUGUST 26, 1850. IRELAND.. Dram, Anion St. The Lord-Lieutenant km accepted from the town council of Belfast an invitation to a public dinner during his approaching visit to that town. Yester day his excellency visited Kingstown, for the purpose of Moppet's; a new swivel bridge that has been con structed is the yard of the Harbour Commissioner, there; sad he then proceeded to Dolby, where it is stated that the Dublin and Kingstown Railway Com pany intend taking a large tract of ground for the purpose of establishing public pleasure grounds for the citizens of Dublin. A Privy Council sat on Thursday, which was at tended by the Lord Lieutenant, the Lord Chancellor, Judge Perrin, Baron Richard s , th e J u d ge o f the Pre rogative Court, tha Chief Secretary, and the Attorney- General. A proclamation was leaned, under the 12 h and 13th Vic., for the abolition of the gaol of New gate. All persons, except those under ride of tran sportation, to be removed to Richmond Bridewell before the 31st August. A second proclamation was issued, constituting Belfast the amiss town of the county Antrim, in place of Carrickfergus. The conned of the Tenant League have published the weekly report of tneir proceedings, including a public addrum on the subject, organising the move ment. The address alludes to the caution which the council has adopted as to the legality of their proceed ings, and states that, after mature deliberation, they have resolved to take steps " for systematically ex tending the principles and influence of the Tenant League, by holding sittings of the council successively and at short intervals in various parts of the country, and, if the friends of tenant right in each district ap prove it, by holding public county meetings at th e same time end place. ' A concluding observation presses on the public the necessity of taking advantage of the recently enacted Franchise Act to organise the constituencies. An active agitation has been commenced in Dublin, .preparatery to the approaching municipal elections under the New Dublin Corporation Act. Ward meetings are daily held, and the proceedings are be ginning to excite a good deal of local interest. The reports concerning the potato blight are be coming fewer every day, and may be summed op in the following paragraph from a provincial journal : The type of the potato blight is this year lees virulent than ever, sad by the slight taint cow visible on the root itself, and the very slow progr. se of the blight, it appears to have virtually txhausted itself; beside, the disease is so partial in its of oration, that near half the large growit g crop is usaffeettd, and will, in all likelihood, remain so. The mild nature of the blight ocmpared with that of the last four seasons is obvious. Last Saturday the eviction of nine f a mili es a t a plane called Xilimy, on the estates of the Earl of Portarlington, took place; but the tenantry having previous notice, succeeded in removing a great part of the crops before the sheriff and police arrived. The Marquis of Waterford has liberally made a considerable reduction of the rents on his estates at Newtown Limavady, in Ulster. The statistics of the Cork union chow a diminution of 747 wipers in the workhouse as compared with the name period last year. THE FISHMONGERS' COMPANY.—We have been informed that a deputation from this company is expected in a few days, when, it Is to be hoped, they will not eon- fine their inspection to the more prosperous pardon of their tenantry, but make an extensive excursion over the whole of their estate, and inquire minutely into the condi- , lion end circumstances of those oy.x whom an all wise Pro. videnea has placed them. The agent we know to be kind end generous, bat then his hands are tied down, as a matter' of course, so that he cannot act as he might feel inclined to do, without the direction of his principals, who being ab sentees, can know but little respecting the state and prospects I of those of whom, in the relationship they stand, they are looked upon as the natutal guardians.—.lrrong/a Guardian. HYDROPHOSIA.—A shocking cue of this disease occurred reo•ntly near Bobo. Two boys quarrelled ; the dug of one bit the other, and both bled during the fight. The next day one of the boys fought with a third who was also cut. The dog went mad : so did his owner, who, after remaining for some time in a shocking state, died. The two other boys have shown no symptoms o' the disease. It is said that all three underwent a process of cute, and that de. ceased violated the directions of a MO who prescribed for them.—Enniakilen Reporter. COMMISSIONER FOR RELIEF OF INSOLVENT DEB[- 0118.—A memorial is in course of siana•ure by the leading merchants and traders of Dublin, praying his Eastellene7 the Lord-Lieutenant to appoint Mr. Creighton, the celebrated practioner in bankruptcy and insolvency, es the success r of tho late Mr. Farrell, and expriseing a hope that the Vas has arrived when an appointment of so mach importance as regards the commercial interests of the community should he mare irrespective of party or political infitence.— Saunders. INCENDIARISM.—On Saturday lut, or early on Sunday mornioir, the office-houses of a man named Rooney, who resides on the townlard of Knockatavt y, were burned, and it is believed maliciously. It is also conjectured, with what degree ef correctricu we cannot say, that the mile of this outrage is that Rooney's eon is caretaker on the lands of Cortual, from which a tenant was evicted some time ago. Rooney himself had been beaten on his return from the market at Carricksaaaresa—Newry Examiner. SUNDAY POSTAGE QUESTION.—The Lords of the Tummy have, it is stated, ineorse4 the report and r. com mendations of the Sunday Prqsl Commie•inn, and arrange mints are in progress for givir.g them practical effect on Sunday next the let of September, when :the ;null ramming delivery of letters and newspapers throughout the country will be resumed. ELOPEMENTS IN : HIGH AND Low LITE.—Two illopemo eats, In very different spherre of society, have taken place within the last few day+. The particulars of the first are thus detailed by the life:shown " Considerable excitement was occasioned at &cheat Hall, near Haverforct. west, the east of the Baron de Rutzen, on Tuesday morning Len, owing to the mysteri sus disappearance of the eldest dateznter of the Baron and Baroness de Itu•zen. It appears that the young lady, who is not only highly necomplish e d, but is also possessed of rare oersooal charms, bad been accustomed for several days previntely to leave home at an early hour in the ni trnirsg, tho ()dilution purpose of gathering mushrooms. Oa Tu.sday morning she went out at the usual hour, in her morning dress and carrying a small basket on her arm. She did not return. The servants were deepatehed in all directions in search of her, but wal.out success, and at length it was feared that she had been accidentally drowned in one of the fi h ponds near ties mansion, and men were even set to drag them ; but for tunately, however, their efforts were fruitless. Matters con. tinu d to wear a most gloomy unmet until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the mystery was explained by the arrival of a mounted messenger, with a letter to the baron from Richard Lon Philippe, Esq., of Eat Ho-e, apprising im of his (Mr. Philipps's) marriage at St. Bride's Church that morning, to the mining fair one, and enclosing a certificate of the completion of the nuptial cere mony. It appears that Mr. Philippi bad been for some time an ardent admirer of Miss de Rutzen, and that his attentions ware receised propitiously by her, but for some femme the parents of the lady did not favour his suit, although he was a frequent visitor at the hall. The following is the way in which the affair was arranged and carried into effect. Between six and seven o'clock on the morning of Tuesday he took a chaise from Hat Mariner's Hotel, Haverfordwest, directing the driver to pro ceed as fast aa he could to Cosbro' Lodge, on the road to Nerberth, about four mites from Haverfordwest On arrival there he was deeir, d to pull up, when Mr. Philipps alighted from the carriage, and immediately the lady, feitl.- fed to her engagement, made her appearance from behind the hedge. In an instant she was escorted to the carriage by Mr. Philipps, and away they proceeded post haste to St. Bride's Church, a distance of 16 mike, where the happy pair I were united by the Rev. William Boweqmllareies. They then left in the same *gunge en route ffir Aberystwith. relays of horses awaiting them at St. Catherine's Bridge sod at New Inn, where the luggage of the fugitives had been forwarded and the lady's future maid awaited their snivel Mr. Philippe is much esteemed in Haverfordwest, and the bells of St. Mary's Church celebrated his nuptials with many a merry peal throughout the day. At East Hook great rejoicings took place, and an ample repast was provided for the servants and labourers on the estate. The other ease is perhaps more remarkable. A few days ago (says the Carlisle Patriot) Felix Laugh, late of London, widower, who has a family of three children, and now an in mate of Penrith Union workhouse, eloped to Gretna.green with Mary Jackson, widow, who has a family of four ' children, and also on inmate of the same work 'ions& A few days previous to the elopement the parties gave notice to Mr. tiler, the master of the workhouse, that they intended to leave the workhouse, and snot ditigly did se. How they raised the wind is nit known, but the fact is th it they set off on foot upwards of thirty miles to Gretna, and on arriving there found that they had little or no cash to pay the officiating priest, who • eked a sum twenty times more in amount than what they wore possessed of, and persisted that he would not marry them for a farthing len. However, F....ix Laugh, in a most melancholy strain, explained that hie wife was dead, that Mary Jackson's husband was ale a dead, that that were both paupers biotite log to Penrith Union workhouse, and becoming quite con vulsed, and letting lbw a flood of tears over his wrinkled cheeks, in the meet affecting m itiner exclaimed " For g madness sake do merry us, for Mary Jackson was the first sweetheart that I ever had, aye, long before I win married to my lint poor wile, but then she would not have Dv: now she has consented to be my wire. O f do marry us." "Yet, yes, it is all tree, do wed us," and Mary Jackson. The priest was moved with complement; ue married them. Soon afterwards they set off on oh. it return to Penni h on foot, and on their arr. val there they were footsore and com pletely dished op, and not having a place where to lay their heads, they e'en applied tea Mr. Armstrong, the relieving officer, for an order i..to the wurkhou u ',gain, who, amt.:. 'no to the present state of the potr l+w, was obliged to give them nn order, and now the new married couple, in am tril lance with the game law, are spending their honeymoon in the workhouse. apart from each other.

The report then proceeds as follows on the important points of— GEXERAL POLICY AND FVICIAZ PEOSPECTS.—At present your undertaking ruts under extraordinary, although tem porary, dine:vantages. On the Grimsby Dacha, tke Kew Holland and Hull works, the She station, and the seer nd tunnel at Wendt:mid, a sum el upwards of a million sterling has been expended, which is not only unproductive in its It, but the non.com pletion of there erotic, may fairly be said to prevent the valuable traffic dependent on them being received and see Comm dated on Ile line, and thus a double lees is sustained by delsy ; in short, until the completion of these works the real value of your property cannot be correrly estimated. In a few weeks, however, the dock works at New Holland will be completed, and, by arrangements with other com panies, a large merchandise traffic, which hat hitherto been serried by more circuitous routes, will be secured to your Your directors are folly aware that it is to the Grimsby Docks they must look for that large increase of revenue to oonsti.ute the Manchester, Sheffi.t.td, and Littezinehire Rail. way a remunerative undeetakiog to the shareholders gene rally; ar.d nothing has occurred to shake the coefithocce they have aiwaye felt in the ultimate smelts of this great national undertaking. From their superior convenience. ready scam, and contiguity to the sea, they cannot fail to acquire a considerable portion of the present trade of the Humber, and a large share of its annually-inereosing com merce, for they will ba the ooly docks on the eastern coast capable of admitting Cie large class of steam vessels now em. played in the %role os Northern Europe. It will be in the recollection eat the shareholders that, in urnetguenee of the expression of an opinion on the part of the committee of in. yestigation, it was resolved to refer to Mr. Robert Stephen son the question as to the extent to which the Grimsby Docks, under ell the ermainstances of the company, ihould be completed. Mr. Stephenson's report has been received, and establisitcs eonclasive:y the inexpeditnce of diminishing the area of the dock, as the immediate Living would be ranch too small to justify the ultimate and permanent outlay, shcultl ithereafter be thought advisable to carry out the dock works is their integrity. Your directors are able to state that this company his established well.clifitted and mutually beneficial atrenee• meats with all neighbouring companies. except the Great Northern. It has always been the unanimous and anxious wish of your directors, notwithstanding: the changes which from time to time have taken place in the constitution of the board, to maintain a per manent and ignitable alliance with the lut-named company, and it is a source of regret that at the present time any misundentandirg should exist. It would be exceedingly difficult to enter into an explanation of the details of these differences, but the shareholders may depend upon their interests being carefully watched, and that no opportunity of a friendly settlement will be set glected, while at the same t:ms all ecerJachniente on the legitimate rights of this company will be vigorontly repelled. With rerpect to the ou'standing claims of contractors several very satirlactory settl.ments tams been made by your engineer, Mr. Fowler, and the others are in a train which affords a prospect of an early and eguitablo conclusion. No effort', comistei.t with proper attention to the interests of the company, will be spared for expedl.iog the final adjust• ment of all wielded claim,. . . . In common with most other railway companies, the rating cf this line has been under consideration, end steps are in progress for obtaining relief from what is felt to be an excessive and peculiarly oppressive chaste.

CHRISTIAN CLERGYMEN AND CHRISTIAN CHARITY, —The 'Lanford Mercury states that when a Mrs. Wainer of Melton Mowbray, who, it appears, bee not led a very odly life, was on her death-bed, a 'ew days since, she de sired that some out should pray with her. The curate was ant for, hut he commenced a fierce tirade against her respect iug her past lira. and positively refused to pray with the dying sinner. We premme it was because she was a sinner that he would not pray with her ! Same pious neighbours gave the consolation which the clergyman r. fused. The woman died, and the clergymen of the place again took upon themselves to judge her; for one shut the gates of the churchyard entirely against her; the other refused the corpse entrance into the church, though he read the service ova her. With reference to the above, our =temporary, the Examiner, of yesterday, says : " We say nothing of shut ting the church-doom. The rev. gentlemen might do with the body inc unseemly things he pleased, or might think it decent to enact. But who is this disguised among the ministers of Jesus, who dam refuse to pray beside a dying woman because she was a sinner ? Who is this ? Is it the Rev. W. Coles, of Melton Mowbray ? The Pharisee', as Mr. Celts might do, objected to our Lord, that he had too mach care for sinners. Only the Pharisees could not male Him to anger. Whether Mr. Coln a high churchman or a low churchman, we k .ow not. Most probably he preaches Philpotts. But we know that he ought not to be a teacher in the church of Christ—he needs too greatly to be taught." POOLE SAVINGS BANK.—Circumstances attendant on the decease of the late actuary having excited suspicions of a defalcation in his accounts, the trustees and menace?' have instituted a rigorous examinaion into the state of the affairs generally, during the regress of which inquiry the holm's of the bank is of course suspended. This his na turally produced a considerable panic, particularly amen the depositors ; but we have reason to hope that such alarm, although not without foundation. may prove to hare greatly magnified the actual evil.-1'c0,3 Herald. FIRE AT TORRINGTON, NORTH DEVON.—On Tun day last this town was in great danger of destruction by fire. During the night, a fire broke out on the premises f a Mr. Friendship, ropemakcr, which being fed by a quan tity of pitch, spread rapidly to the adjoining building., right and left. Before the three fire-engines of the town could be got out three dwelling•houses, a carpenter's work. shop, a stable, eoc., were in flames. By the greatest exertion the fire was prevented from destroying a row of small dwellings, which abn.ted upon one end of the burning mass. These caught fire at least three times; and, had the fire token feet hold of them, there is no doubt that the whole town must have materially suffered. It was only by cutting a pillage through the burning buildings, at a very great risk, that the premises cn the right of them were saved. The loss is considerable. The three dwelling houses consumed were the property of Mr. Adams, of Tor rington, and a portion of the remaining properties of the Rev. Mr. Welcome, of Cornwall. Neither the premixes nor the stock, &c., were insured. Six children of Mr. Friend ship were snatched out of their beds while the fire was in th.ir house, and two women had to be dragged through the side windows of the abutting house?, escape by the front doors being impossible. THE POISONING CASE AT PAULERSPURT.—On Monday last the further a:lamination of Ann Pell, took place biota the county bench at Towcester, charged with peisen log two of her children, Saab Ann and Frederick Pell. The medical evidence was direct to the point that death in both cases had been caused by aaaaa ic, and the purchase of the deadly mn'erial by the prisoner at Stony Stratford was de pored to by a witness, who en seeing her attired in her usual out of door dress bad no doubt of her identity. The accused earnestly protested that she had never been in a chemist's shop in the town in question, or had purchased any descrip tion at poison during her I ziatenee, and denied the charge in tofu. The magistrates having deliberated for a s►ort time, handed the follo.ing result to the prisoner: —After the evidence giv , a in by the s-veral witnesses in the C4lll, the magistrates 1: el it their duty to commit yen for trial at the ensuing amass on a charge of wilful murder of your two chiliren, by administering to them poison, whereby death had ensued.

Hitherto, the rates of postage between this country end the dominions of the King of Sweden were on a most expersiva and exag gerated scale. By the newly rropeseil arrangements, the rates et postage will be very eomiierably reduced, and the facilities of intercommuniestion greatly increased. Such will be the main results of an arrangement calculated to con fer important b:n fits upon the trade between the two countries. The derails, however, will Lot be made public until the ralficatioes shell be exchanged. To Lord Cian ricarde, the Postmaster General, is due the chief merit of bringing about this mow de arable reformation. His lord ship attended at the Fareien-offiee yesterday afternoon, to sign, in the presence of Lord P ilmerston, with Baron Rehausen, the Swedish minister, the preliminaries of the convention agreed upon.— bserecr. PENANCE AT WAKEFIELD —Yesterday (Sunday) the town of Wakefield was the scene of the utmost excite ment in consequence of that being the day fixed ny the eccle siastical court of Richmond for the performance of penance in the parish church at %airfield, by Mr. Joseph Horner, Senior, cern mt•reheut and miller, a bite', esteemed in habitant of tint town. Some months since Miss Fernandes, whose brother is lessee of the Wakefield Sake Mille, was re ceiving the addle saes of a respectable merchant of the town, but the match was rather abruptly broken off, and Miss Fernandes went to a distance to reside fer a time. Slanderous reports spi edilyfollowed upon the announcement of the match being broken off, and &metred others who repeated these rumours was Mr. Horner. Upon being called upon for his au thority he could not, or woo' d not. give it. Conti quently, a suit was instituted against him in tne Richmond Ideclesiesticel Court, and the judgment was, that he 'Mould, on Sunday, August 25th, perform penance in the vestry of Waketinld pariah church, and there read a ri c natation of the slander, in terms to be dictated by Mies Fernandes proctor. Mr. Horner being highly respected in the locality (and the belief being pretty general that the prosecutor had not taken pains to discover and punish the worst offender, but one with whom he was at variance), a very large concourse of persons as sembled relied Mr. Horne'', residence yesterday morning, and, forming a procession, walked to the church, with Mr. Horner at their head. At the door of the church one of Mr. Homer's sans begged the symp tthisers, whiner cheerirg, clapping of hands, and waving of has, had been unbounded, to retire, oat of respect to the day. Notwithstanding that rain was falling heavily, thousands who had assembled re mained opposite the church until after the penance had been gone through as r: quired by the court, after which they re formed in procession, and returned to Mr.Horner's usidence. Here a paper wan read from a widow aajcining his house. detailing the fac's, after which many cheers were given, and at the earnest request of Mr. Hornet's family the crowd dispersed. There was a large hody of police in attendance to keep order, but no disturbance toil place. EXECUTION OF PATRICK FORBES AT DlltweAsTLE. —Patritit Forbes, who wit convicted at the last assizes at Newcastle for the brutal murder of his wile, as stated in Saturday's Express, was executed en Satur day no riling. The drop was evicted outside the north wall of the gaol, facing Cerlislerereat, as there was a greater space there than in front of the preen. It was merket day, and an immense concourse was assembled. A few minutes after eight the mournful procession was seen emerg ing from the gaol. Forbes seemed to he ruff-ring great agony, sad as he aseciiitel the drop a thrill of horror ran through the crowd. Howard, the Yerk hangmen, officiated. The convict was allowed a taw minutes in prayer. The authordies then withdrew, and the signal being gins, the drop kit. After hanging the usual time the sody was cut down, and will be buried within the walls of the gaol. The behaviour of the culprit since his trial end conviction showed a tense of the awful position in which he stood. Us eves visited daily by a Roman catholic minister, and since Beasley last he ab stained from animal food as • penance for the offence by which his life hat been forfeit , ed Ile appeared to be quite reconciled to his fate, hot ruit..,a,,ed to Lemma+ jaiocutce in the same ambiguous fore - , assumed st his trial, numly. that if he did cutamit toy eat he did it when in a state of utter unconscious:mu, produced by the drink he had taken previously. i 1 1)
