PUGILISM: PERILOUR POSITION OF NEB MAJESTY'S SKIP CONQUEROR. FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.-MACE AND KING. The above fight took place this morning at God stone, in Surrey, and about 30 miles from London. The fight began at 7 minutes past nine, and after fighting ono hour and eight minutes, during which time 42 rounds were fought, King was unable to come up to the call of time, and Mace was declared the victor. King obtained first blood and the first knock down blow. The betting at the com mencement was 2 to 1 on Mace, but in the course of the encounter, the odds varied to similar offers upon King; the punishment delivered up to a certain time was tolerably equal, King having slightly the best of it until the last round, when they closed and fell, King's head com ing in contact with the ground, which rendered him insensible, and the sponge was thrown up in token of his defeat. The fight took place amid a steady fall of rain, but the attendance was very large, the aristocracy being very powerfully repre sented. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.)

According to the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner resided in the house of a Mr. and Mrs. Hawkos, Winches ter-place, Peckham, and on the evening of the occurrence Mrs. Hawkes saw some spots of blood on the floor about the back kitchen. The prisoner had a wet flannel in her hand, and was wiping up the spots. Mrs. Hawkes asked her if anything bad occurred to her, and she replied she had been taken suddenly ill, but nothing more. Mrs. Hawkes had her suspicions that the prisoner had been recently delivered of a child, and on the return home of her husband she told the circumstances to him. He then went into the back kitchen, and on taking the lid off the copper, there found the body of the child wrapped up in a gown be , upon the discovery s room, but she tloankgininggpltaocteh,ewpernistonuepr.to the r s . p H n. s a o w n k e e r ap peared to have overheard what had passed, and met her as she was going upstairs. She then asked the prisoner how she could have told her a falsehood when she first saw her in the back kitchen, when she begged that she would not tell anybody what she had discovered, as she would bury or do anything with the body. The prisoner also fell on her knees and implored her not to tell her husband, as he did not know the situation she was in. Information, however, was gives of the circumstances, and the prisoner was taken into custody. 711 E P.RIVATEER SUMTE.R. The Recorder, in summing up, said there was no evidence as to whether the child had been born alive, and the ques tion for the jury to decide was whether the prisoner was guilty of such a disposition of the body of the child as amounted to a concealment of the fact that she had been delivered of a child. It appeared very extraordinary that the prisoner should have wished the circumstance to be kept from the knowledge of her husband, and it appeared strange that the husband could have successfully been kept in ignorance of the condition of the prisoner. It had been suggested by tho counsel for tho defence that the prisoner had suddenly been seized with perturition, and she had merely temporarily placed the body in the copper where it was found, but ho was sure they would well weigh the whole circumstances that had been given in evidence before them. A fter a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy. Tho Recorder said he would give full effect to the merci ful recommendation of the jury, in which the Court joined. He then sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison ment. . _ From Nassau (Bahamas) we have adviccs to the Ist. Tho Nassau Guardian of that date says : "By the arrival to-day of the schooner William H. Bell, Henry Howe, master, we regret to learn the probable loss of her Majesty's line-of-battle ship Conqueror, 101 guns, which occurred on Sunday last, she having struck on a sunken rock on the east of Rum Cay, and become embedded five feet on the coral reef. Mr. Miller, an officer of the ill-fated steamer, was despatched in the schooner to Nassau for the purpose of obtaining assistance, and we un derstand the Bulldog will leave at 5 p.m. to-day for the scene of the disaster. The captain was using every exertion to get the vessel off. The Nimble goes to Bermuda with despatches for the Admiral, and the Steady will remain here for some time. The Conqueror was on her way from Jamaica to Bermuda, and had taken 1,100 marines on hoard, besides her crew. The marines were transferred to the St. George at Jamaica. We are sorry to hear that there were several cases of yellow fever on board the Challenger when the Nimble left. The Conqueror is a two decker screw ship of the line, drawing about 34 feet of water. She is of 800 horse-power, and her speed averaged 101 knots an hour. She is of 3,224 tons burden, carries 101 guns, and was built in 1855. Her former station was the Mediterranean, and she is one of the vessels recently sent to strengthen the British North American fleet. A letter from Gibraltar, dated Jan. 20, says:— " You will have already heard by telegraph of the arrival of the Sumter in this bay. On Friday night a message was received here saying that she had left Cadiz, but that her course was not known. As the wind was favourable for the passage of vessels through the Straits to the westward, it was thought not unlikely that she would steam for Gibraltar, with the objeot of intercepting the many Federal merchantmen homeward bound. _ _ _ "On Saturday morning signal was made from the look out on the summit of the rock that the Sumter was six miles to the eastward, capturing two large Federal ships. The news, as may be imagined, caused the greatest ex citement, and everybody rushed out to catch a glimpse of the privateer and her prey. " Tho seizure was accomplished simply enough ; no defence could be made. A boat's crow was sent on board, the Federal flag hauled down, and the thing was done. The cruiser was evidently used to her work. No time was lost in searching the prizes, the few valuable effects were removed, the match was lighted, and in another moment the blazing ship was fast drifting away with the current. When evening closed the flames were still visible, darting upwards in fitful flashes on the eastern horizon. The first ship taken was laden with sulphur, consigned, as the master endeavoured to make out, to Baring Brothers, bu‘, as Captain Simmes afterwards remarked, sulphur being the principal ingredient of gunpowder, and its expor tation from England being just at this time prohibited, it was considered as well to destroy it, especially as the master had no papers to show. " The other vessel taken, a large barque, proved to be laden with an English cargo, as she was released, and came in here yesterday. " In the evening of Saturday the Sumter anchored in this bay. On Sunday I went on board, most anxious to see the celebrated craft that has led the Federal navy a dance over so many miles of ocean. " When going alongside I could scarcely believe that so poor a vessel could have escaped so many dangers. She is a screw steamer, with three masts, a funnel strangely out of proportion to her size, and a tall, black hull, so high out of water that she gives you the idea of being insufficiently ballasted. Four 32-pounders peeped from her sides, and a large 8-inch pivot gun was on her main deck forward. Before she was fitted for her present work she was a pas senger ship, running between New Orleans and the Haven nab. Her unsightly appearance arises from the alterations that have been made in her decks. In order to afford more accommodation, and to give more cover for the engines and guns, a light, temporary flush deck has been built over what was originally the only deck of the ship, This raises her an additional 10 feet out of water, and at the same time dwarfs her masts and funnel. She is crank and leaky. Her engines are partially above the lower deck, and, with the object of preserving them from the effects of gunshot, they aro surrounded by a cylindrical casing of six-inch wood covered with half-inch iron bars—a very poor protection against an eight-inch shot. Her officers and crew number 00 in all. The latter arc a hardy, devil me-ea-to set of fellowa, ready for any work—men who would stick at nothing. They are of all nations—even the Irish brogue was among them. The commander, Captain Simmes, is a reserved, determined•dooking man, whose left hand knows not what his right doeth. He received me most courteously, and took me over his ship. I expressed my astonishment at his escape from Martinique, when, with great clearness, and with the assistance of a diagram, he showed me how he had run the blockade—deluded the Iroquois. Captain Palmer may be surprised to learn that he was beaten at his own weapons. The Confederates discovered the nature of the signals that were to be made from the shore when the ship got under way, and the trap was laid accordingly. As the evening gun fired the sable that held the Sumter to the wharf was loosed, and she darted out, under the shadow of the land, to the southward. At the first turn of her screw the signal blue lights blazed from the shore, and the Iroquois, at full steam, made for the south of the harbour, to intercept her, Keeping near the land for a few miles, Captain Simmes suddenly put his ship about, and ran in a northerly direction, while the Iroquois continued her course, and in three hours the two vessels were 50 miles apart. " Tho French ship which, it will be remembered, Capt. Palmer mentions as having left the harbour at the same time, was, ho will be happy to learn, no other than the Sumter doubling back to the northward." The Akhbar, of the 22d inst., a paper published at Algiers, has the following : -"'" On Monday last, between 10 and 11 in the evening, an event occurred opposite Point Pescade, which will, doubt less, soon be explained. Meantime we have received the following details : " About 10 o'clock a heavy cannonade was heard at sea distinctly by the inhabitants of the village of St. Eugene. It was also heard at Algiers. A fisherman, who had been out late, was for a short time in danger from the projectiles of two vessels engaged in combat. It is supposed that a naval combat was taking place between the two American ships, the Sumter and Iroquois." The 211oniteur de Algerie says : " On Monday, between 10 and 11 in the evening, a well sustained cannonade at sea excited the population of Algiers. Two police agents wore immediately sent to Pes cade Point, in which direction the guns were heard. The coastguard officer on duty gave the following report : Two vessels, about six miles out at sea, were engaged in combat. When the fight was over ono of the vessels hoisted a flag on her misen and went out of sight. '1 ho combat lasted about one hour.' " To-day (Wednesday) a steamer with a red funnel with a black stripe at the top was signalled off Cape Matifou. She has three masts, heavy canvass, and stern deep in the water. On reaching Cape. Matifou she suddenly tacked, as if giving chase to some vessel, and was lost sight of. She was again seen in the evening off Point Pescade. This vessel has all the appearance of a pirate. She appears to mount about 20 guns, and she looks like a trader turned into a vessel of war. She hoisted no flag while cruising in the Bay of Algiers. It is generally believed here that she is the Sumter, which left Cadiz on the 17th, and which gave chase to the vessel she attacked on Monday evening." BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Paid.

Business done CHARGE OF STEALING TIMBER Two men named Ward and Parley were indicted for stealing some timber, the property of a person named Hoper ton, a builder, at Plumstead. The jury acquitted Parley and found Ward guilty. The Recorder said nothing affecting the character of Par ley had been found during the trial. He appeared to have been in the service of Ward, and thought in obeying his orders he was not doing anything wrong. With respect to Ward he appeared to have availed himself of the position he had occupied with respect to Mr. Hoperton. He there fore sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE EXTRAORDINAIitY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. In the case of Henry David Lloyd, described in the calendar as a dealer, who had been committed for trial by tho Lord Mayor, and indicted in this court for unlawfully conspiring, together with other persona and by false pre tences, and obtaining from William Jefferson 149 casks of soda ash, value £749 12s. Gd., NV it h intent to defraud—the grand jury ignored the indictment. CHARGE OF FORGERY. The trial of Wm. Britten, described as a carpenter, in dicted for forging an order for the payment of with in tent to defraud, and also for obtaining money under false pretences, was fixed for to-morrow afternoon. MURDER. The grand jury have returned a true bill against John Quigley for the wilful murder of Henry Beckett. A true bill has also been returned against Walter Crane for felony. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) COINING Cornelius Barrett and Joseph Golbourn were indicted with having in their possession a mould for the manufac turing of counterfeit coin. From the evidence of Brennan, the officer attached to the Mint, it appears that on the 15th of the present month, from circumstances that had come to his knowledge, he, in company with several officers, proceeded to the residence of the prisoners in Wilmot -place, Flower and Dean-street; and on arriving at the door of their apartments, he found it barred. lie demanded admittance, when he found the first named prisoner sitting in front of the fire, and all the appear ance of coining having been carried on. On attempting to convey the prisoners to the police-court, a violent resistance was made, but ultimately both were secured. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced both prisoners to five years' penal servitude. Both had evidently expected a more severe sentence, and before leaving the dock Barrett said, " Thank ye, my lord." POLICE 2NTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKING A LADY'S POCKET.—John Connett, alias M'llonald, a shoemaker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with picking the pocket of a lady named Purdy, the wife of Mr. George Purdy, of 21, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury square. Mrs. Caroline Purdy, said she was in Oxford-street the previous afternoon, just outside the Pantheon Bazaar, where there was a large crowd collected, and a great num ber of carriages. Tho prisoner pushed against her and the child who was with her, and on looking down she found her pocket turned inside out. and her purse, containing two sovereigns and some silver, was gone. The prisoner ran among the carriages and tried to get away. She cried, " Stop thief," and the prisoner did the same, but a person pursued and captured him. Edwin Stoyer Pearce, of Cirencester-place, proved hear ing a cry of " Stop thief," and capturing the prisoner, who was trying to escape through the carriages. Fitzgerald, 53 E, proved receiving the prisoner from the last witness, and the purse from a person who picked it up. _ _ Sergeant Glass asked for a remand, which was ordered. AN ABSCONDING ERRAND BOY.—John Hill, a lad in the employ of Messrs. earring and another, tin ware manu facturers, of Rupert-street, was charged with stealing the sum of £2 10s. from his employers. The prisoner had the money given him to make a pur chase, and absconded with it. A constable said the boy told him his father and mother hed tempted him to it. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the boy if ho wished to say any thing. Tho boy said he did not know what to say. He was 17 years of ago. lie wished the case settled by the magi strate. Prosecutor said he had a character with the boy. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for three months, remarking that it ought to be six. The Senior Wrangler at Cambridge, Mr. Barker. is a native of Aberdeen, and was educated there. " These hard-headed Scotchmen," says the local Independent, "come up to college as far advanced in their studies as the second year men." The same paper mourns over the tame ness of Friday's proceedings :—" This is degree day for the honour men, but how unlike the degree days of times gone by ! Last year was an exception, on account of the pre sence in the senate of the Prince of Wales, but taking the last few years, how completely all interest in the honour list and degree day seems to have passed away ! Formerly, both town and university were in a state of excitement for some time previously-, and when degree day arrived the senate house was filled with anxious and animated specta tors ; but now very few seems to care about the list, those only who are personally concerned take any interest in it, and the proceedings in the senate attract little more notice than an ordinary congregation. Tho change is not pleasant, and we believe it is not productive of advantage to the students." GRANITE. —A German savant, Herr BerlPpsch, h eulogium on gr an it e , w hi c h oug ht to be following Aberdeen friend s :—" G ran it e i s a sym bolic in common with marble is the historic s among beasts t the lion r an k s as king, being tho gtr(a) sa nt t ie. y e uiAbn h fs fo sgs t l t o no an representative of noble qualities and physical power—as amongst plants the oak presents a picture of firmness and endurance, of proud contempt of storm and weather —so granite represents all that is unconquerable and unchange able in the kingdom of dead inorganic matter ; it is, in the narrow material sense, a substance of eternal duration," THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

In these vo l umes we meet with hewrat stories which are joined in a connecting link by an origi nal sketch of interest. It treats of Shirlot, an establishment cr eate d b y the b ounty of Lady iier bert, and in whose peaceful shades dwelt many who else might have been cast on the rough world. The account of some of the quarrels and contrarieties that ever and anon disturb the equanimity of the inhabitants and mar the peace of the happy home is very aptly drawn, and shows in a forcible man ner how ill temper and evil passions may mar the best attempts and frustrate the kindest intentions. The various tales aro ingeniously introduced, and some of them are very entertaining. Th e New Lord Burleigh" is a sketch that satirizes the world's flattery of wealth and its cruel scorn of poverty. In all ranks of life there are too many " Dusts" and " Sharks." It is doubtful whether " Meg " wou ld have been happy in such a totally different sphere of existence, but the discernment which recognised her gentleness and goodness did infinite honour to Sir John Berdun, and the qualities which the little maid displayed in the sad time of sickness were those which bid fair to stand the trying test of time more than the shining and attractive characteristics he might have encountered. in the society of his equals. " The Butter- cup Spoon" is, perhaps the most pleasing story that is met with ; Lucy, the heroine, is a charming cha racter, and the old couple of Hatton-garden are most delightful in their quaint style and genuine kindliness. There is something very fresh and genuine about this little sketch, and the description of Lucy in her struggles and solitude is touchingly and truthfully told. From seeing some but tercups she had gathered cast' by chance on some shining spoons she took the idea of forming a design of a silver ladle in that shape. "Oh go and show the hand of genius little cups and buds. Rocked by the vernal winds, cherished by the evening dew, fed by the balmy air, your simple, graceful, sweet loveliness I must be transferred by art ; for touching conse quences lie with thee, oh simple little tender flowers?' The romance of this little tale is a very attractive one, and it seemed truly a just thing that such kindred spirits in taste should be united. Grimling is a peculiar style, but he is animated by noble zeal, and his immediate perception of merit proved him to possess an innate discernment. The climax of the various events and disco veries takes place in a novel spot, for it is the Crystal Palace of famous memory. The ex citing scene is thus eloquently alluded to—" At length that glorious May-day dawned, which must ever be memorable in the annals of this country—in the annals of civilisation, the annals of the world, that marriage-day of beauty to utility, of civilisa tion to art, of the refinement that inspires to the coarseness that degrades, that grand marriage-day of human interests to the universal, the pure, and the exalted, that marriage-day of which a mighty human advance has yet to sing the fitting epithalmy." Ruthven's play is a noticeable narrative, and brings before us in graphic sketches, some of the quaint customs and strange observances of an earlier age. The plot is rather an exciting one, and the reader will feel grieved at the sad tale of Jill, which comes upon one quite suddenly at last. It is satisfactory to find the base designs frustrated, and the malicious plans subverted of that unprincipled clique, of which Sir John Ogilvy reigned paramount. This slight sketch is the most striking in the volumes, although not the most pleasing. "Art in Bronze" is a peculiar narrative. All must rejoice at the triumph cf the energetic youth, who, through toil and amid trouble, pursued his way, and at last realised the glorious ideal of his visions and gained the lofty goal to which he had so long aspired. At the same time this tale has an error iu it ; Miss Westall's marriage to a man she had never seen before the interview in which she arranges to become his wife is most improbable. Despite these occasional exaggerations there is much to admire in the works of an authoress whose writings the public have long appreciated. They bear evidence of deep thought, and declare their writer to be one who goes to the root of things, and seeks to divine the motives of actions and the causes of effects. Those who desire to peruse a solid book will be pleased with this series of sketches ; many various phases of life are brought to light, and some wise domestic hints appear side by side with plans of social improvement, and the amelioration of the thinking workers of the community. " The Southwark lea" is an old-fashioned tale that brings before us some of those prim ways which the laxity of modern rule has suffered to fall into desuetude, to the great discredit of mis tresses and maids, and the detriment of the com fort of many households. It would be well for numerous families if they could renew the good old times in the reproduction of those neat, trim, mob-capped damsels who figure here as the minis tering handmaids to order, cleanliness, and general well-doing. If the example of the mistress of the "Dolphin" were followed more frequently by per sons of property it would be the greatest charity they could bestow on their fellow-beings of humanity. There was truth in the remark of Mrs. Dumple's attached adherent, old Tummis, when he said that if she taught a dozen girls how to perform properly all the minutia: of daily work she would preach a sermon as might have a voice through many generations. " The Chrismas Letter" is an agreeable episode of life in some very trying cir cumstances, but it is to be feared that the troublous beginning is more akin to actual experience than the sudden clearing of the clouds and the bright and happy evening to the stormy day of fears and sorrows that the aged gentlewomen here chronicled had to endure. "A Winter and its Spring" is a cheering narrative, which encourages one to look for better times, and the earnest, kind hearted lady who is its heroine certainly deserved a happy fate as she was always seeking and striving to benefit others. We are told in taking leave of her, these glad tidings of her future, " Her winter was over, her spring was come." We all of us have winter in our lives, but let us hope, and wait, and patiently bear onward ; the spring will surely come. The Tale of Dora is very romantic and especially suited to sentimental readers. These volumes may be offered to the general reading community in the full confidence that they contain various matters to instruct and,. interest ; some sad, some merry, sortie warning, and some entertaining sketches, make up the contents. Divers tastes and various dispositions may gather in this granary and come away satisfied, inasmuch as there is variety enough for all fancies and peculiar wishes. The " Gentlewomen" are very aptly sketched in their several styles. Miss Thorpe and niece are delight ful characters ; also Mrs. Eden is a sad resemblance to many .unhappy folks who are so bitter and sel fish that they render their liv es a burden to themselves and an infliction t o others. At her death-bed this feeling predominated ; her thoughts were with her hoarded money. "The ruling pas sion strong in death, the world and all things worldly even on the threshhold of the eternal door." These volumes will most likely be sought after on account of their skill and ingenuity, as well as their good purpose and vigorous writing in many places. They are original in many parts of their remark able sketches, and record some of the most signal and striking occurrences of life and dispositions of humanity. Civilisation Considered as a Science, in. Relation to its Essence, its Elements, and its End. By George Harris, F. S.A., Barrister. at-Law; author of " The Life of Lord Chancellor Hardwicke," " The True Theory of Representation in a State;' &c. Bvo. London: Bell and Daldy,:Fleet-street.. Apart from the intrinsic merits of Mr. Harris's thoughtful and most suggestive volume, the work possesses a special but melancholy interest at the present time, inasmuch as we know, from priv ate sources of information, that it was one of the very last the last additions made to his library by the lamented Prince Consort. It will be seen, on glan . cino_ table of contents, that Mr. Harris his work into three several i p I: viz.:— The real Nature and Essence of to C h e .vl Promotion of resulting from concise view its as capacity for Elements which contribute Civilisation. Thus Civilisation; and lastly, Thet.Butd is to exhibit a com prehensiveof the nature the Complete Establishment 0 the chief object of the author is eon practical though civilisation, to demonstrate for f scientific treatment, as application, and to prove the neces s it y f or branch of it• cultivating every._ . alike, in order the establishment or it as an entire to ensure condition; and from this a complete, system or definite, and systematic exposition of the true i principles upon which the gene ra l e d ucat i onal and - moral policy o f this country ought to be conducted is set forth for the consideration of the reader. :g r . Harris thinks that the elements which chiefly tend to the promotion of civilisation are the fol lowing:—National education of the people, na tional religious influence, national instructory institutions, 3ultivation of art and science, liberty of the press and toleration, national commemora tions and festivals, dignities and honorary rewards, moral jurisprudence, internal communication, and international intercourse. All these several sub jects are treated in a spirit of moderation and im partiality, and are examined fully and comprehen sively ; and though, of course, it cannot be expected in so large and important a field of inquiry that all readers will agree with Mr. Harris in every view he takes, and in,eirery inference he draws, yet every one must admire the truly liberal and enlightened tone in which his investigations are conducted. The division which treats of the end . resilting from the complete establishment of civilisation, is one that will amply repay pen usal, and will be found of the deepest interest alike to the divine, the statesman, and the philanthr o pi s t. As a whore, we can safely say we have very heldom met with a work which has exhibited more patient industry, research, and thought than this new volume by Mr. Harris. That which from the title might have been thought dry, abetrur,e, and rceendite, is really a work abounding in interest. It is written in language alike elegant and lucid, and while commenditig itself on this account to the scholar and politician, will be perused with equal gratifica tion by the general reader. The work we observe is dedicated by express permission to Lord Brougham, than whom no fitter patron could have been found. Mr. George Harris is already very favourably known to the literary and legal world by his excellent "Biography of Lord Chancellor Hard wicke," and his " Treatise on the true Theory of Representation in a State." We confidently predict that that reputation will be very materially increased by the publication of this, the last and most important work which the author has yet produced. Indeed this elaborate and most instruc tive treati se on " Ci v ili sa ti on cons id ere d as a Science" deserves a place among the standard volumes which grace the library shelves of every educated gentleman. ENGLAND AND THE SOUTHERN C 0,71- miss] ONERS: (From the New York Journal of Commerce.) It is not to be denied that the method of communicating to us the views of the British Government on the Mason and Slidell matter was extremely courteous. So much so, that it might almost appear as if the Government only yielded to a popular uprising in making it at all. Tho same courtesy is manifest in the course pursued in taking the prisoners from Boston. It will not be forgotten that some of the more violent English papers demanded that the prisoners should be placed on the deck of a tnan of war, in the Chesapeake, attended by a fleet, and with various cere.. monies of humiliation. Lord Lyons has arranged it i n a unostentatious way, and it now seems possible that the onl assistance the English Government propose to give tho captured gentlemen, is to put them on the tract from whic they were taken. If the Rinaldo has gone to St. Thomas, it is upon the principle that their voyage on the Trent was from Havannah to St. Thomas, and the British Government proposes to land them there, whance as their passages are paid to England they can continue their voyage which was forcibly interrupted. To carry them in a war vessel to Eng land would be paying them a little extra attention. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS EXA- MINERS OF GAS. The Medical Times and Gazette says—At a late meeting of the Royal Medico -Ch irurgical Society, Dr. Aldis brou forward some remarks on the poisonous effects of coal gas. The universal use of this gas makes it seem strange that some formal notice of its effects on health and life had not been previously put on record ; but we believe we are cor rect in stating that Dr. Aldis's attention was drawn to the subject from the fact of his holding the appointment of gas examiner to the parish of St. George, Hanover-square. This ai pointment is held in many districts by members of our profession; as for instence, by Mr. Beale, Dr. Conway Evans, Dr. Vinen, and Dr. Hillier. This is as it should he. The examination of gas is a delicate process, requiring a knowledge of the laws of light in order to use the photometer correctly, scd some delicacy of chemical manipulation. In whatever town gas is used it ought to be examined, and it may be convenient for many prac titioners to employ their leisure time and increase their income in this manner; whilst the fact that they qualify themselves for this work shows thMt they have a knowledge which may be advantageously applied in many medico-chemical investigations. The chief impurity in coal gas is some volatile sulphur compound (bisulphide of carbon ?), which is not separated by the ordinary modes of separating sulphuretted hydrogen. During the combustion of the gas this forms a hot, irritating vapour, distressing to e yes, lungs, and brain. When it is occasionally in excess its effects are very disagreeable. The common faults in burn ing gas are extravagance in the use of it and neglect of ven tilation. Because gas as cheap, an inordinate quantity is consumed without the mfiection that five feet of Cannel gas burned per hour (the usual rate of supply to two large or three small burners), give a light equal to that of nearly 30 sperm candles ; and that free ventilation would be required to prevent the fumes of; even the best candles from being oppressive. Wo have ere now collected the products of ' combustion of various kinds of all and candles, and can only say that the fumes of common tallow candles are very disgusting, and that if anyone were to attempt to get a great quantity of light from them instead of from gas, t he, necessity for free ventilation would be mush greater. THE TOWN OF MELROSE. The site of Melrose, like all monastic ones, is fine. Tho Abbey stands on a broad level near the Tweed, but is sur rounded by hills and fields of beauty, and peopled with a thousand beings of romance, tradition, and poetry. South of the village rise the three peaks of the Eildon hill, bear ing afloat the fame of Michael Scott and Thomas the Rhymer. On the banks of the Tweed, opposite to Melrose lies Gattonside, buried in its garden and orchards, and still retaining its faith in many a stet) , of the supernatural, and about three miles westward, on the same bank of the river, stands Abbotsford, raised by a magician more mighty than Michael Scott. How is it possible to approach that haunted abode without meeting on the way the most wonderful troop of wild and lofty and beautiful beings that ever peo pled earth or the realm of imagination ? Scotch, English, Gallic, Indian, Syrian come forth to meet you. The Bruce, the Scottish Jameses, Cosur do Lion, Elizabeth, Leicester, Mary of Scots, James I. of England, Montrose, Claver house, Cumberland, the Butcher, The Covenanters are ready to preach and fight anew, the Highland clans rise in aid of the Stuart. What women of d.:zzling beauty—Flora M'lvor, Rose Bradwarine, Rebecca, the noble Jewess, Lucy Ashton, and Amy Robsart, the lovely Effie Deans, and her homely yet glorious sister Jeanie, the bewitching Die Vernon, and Minna and Brenda Troil of the Northern Isles, stand :radiant amid a host of lesser beauties. Then comes Rob Roy, the Robin Hood of the hills; then Balfour of Burley issues, a stal wart apparition, from his hiding-places, and of infinite hu tnotr and strangeness of aspect. Where is there a band like this—the Baron of Bradwardine, Dominie Sampson, Meg Merrilies, Morkbarns, Edie Ochiltree, Old Mortality, Bailie Nicol.Jarvie, Andrew Fairservice, Caleb Balderstone, Flibbertigibbit, Norna of the Fitful Head, and tbat fine fellow the farmer of Liddesdale, with all his peppers and mustards yaffiing at his heels ? But not even out of Melrose need you move a step to find the name of a faithful servant of Sir Walter. Tom Purdie lies in Melrose Abbey yard, and Scott himself had engraven on his tomb that he was " The Wood-forester of Abbotsford," probably the title which Tom gave himself. Those who visit Melrose will like to take a peep at the grave-stone of Tom Purdie, who sleeps amid a long line of the dead, reaching from the days of Aidan to our own, as alive he filled a little nicho in the regards of a master who has given to both high and low so many niches in the temple of immortality.— Ruined Abbeys and Castles of Great Britain, by William and Mary .Howitt. THE STRAND MURDER.—The public will remem ber that at the November session of the Central Criminal Court, a lad, named Richard Reeve, was convicted of the murder of his sister, a girl 11 years old, by strangling her in the cellar of the house where they resided with their parents, in Drury-court, Strand. The jury recommended the prisoner to mercy, and he w as subse q u ' ntl y respited during her Majesty's pleasure. Mr. Jonas, the governor of Newgate, yesterday re ceived a communication from the Home-office, intimating that her Majesty had been pleased to grant the prisoner a conditional pardon—the condition being that he should undergo penal servitude for life. Since the prisoner has been in Newgate under sen t ence of death he has never exhibited any apparent remorse fo r his crime, and he has n ot on an y occasion given the least explanation, or ass igned any motive for the commission of the dreadful cr i me of which he was convicted. He had evidently quite prepared his mind that he should receive a severe sentence, and when the announcement was made to him by the ordi nary of the prison, the Rev. Mr. Davis, he did not be tray the least emotion, but seemed to regard the result as a matter of course. FEUDS AMONG TILE GIPSIES —The Gipsy king dom is concentrating in interest as Fastern's-E'en draws nigh. Prince David, the eldest son of the late King, ab dicated his own right, as is already known, in favour of his sister--the Princess Helen. Helen (Nell Blackboard), however, was thwarted in her ambition to royal honours by her elder and widowed sister Esther (Ettie), who re sides at Coldstream, and was lately crowned at Yetholm. Dreadful feuds, caused by aspirations to regality, have rent into factions the royal family of the Gipsies. The " palace" is at present occupied by the Princess Helen, who, by the bye, pays for it a rent cf £1 per annum. About a fortnight ago Queen Esther visited Yetholm, and as she thought upon her sister's rivalry, her heart yearned for vengeance. Accordingly, she armed herself with a heavy and uncouth cudgel, and in the position of " carry arms," walked sentry a whole night in front of the palace, with the intention of having satisfaction out of her sister (Blackboard.) The next day, when the Queen was hastily taking a little meat in a house opposite the palace, Nell issued from the royal abode, and ran, hotly pursued by the Queen, who had o r e at l i e in now th e looked e been eating and watching. N e ll was run do wn b y the in furiated Queen into a friend's house , where, had it not been. for timely interference, serious re sults might have ensued. forward w w a e r dto state as d a a day h tthe ouiteshe will Fas be te r memorable s of Yetholm, it being a l w ays noted for regal display, and for the outpourings of devo tion to the s overeign regnant. But at the ensuingliolidaY it is expected th a t P r i nce D av id w will declare himself the rightful heir to the Gipsy crown ; and as the Queen has now kelp at her command to aid her cause and herself, a contest of bare arms, and of course bloodshed, is anticipated,—.Border Advertiser. ,7W4IM Share 100 stk 20a 204 10 174 stock stock 100 100 100 100 stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 204 20 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock, stock 100 100 20.11
