Plaintiff said she had been summirily dismissed without any reason, and the wages earned being withheld she had brought the present action. His Honour—Well, Mr. Payne, why don't you pay Miss Cook her wages ? Defendaat—l will tell your honour. One evening I and nay family went out, leaving the house under plaintiff's charge. When we returned it was discovered that she had had a young man in to spend the evening with her, and he had stopped until a late hour. (A. laugh.) His Honour—Oh, they will have followers, you know. (Renewed laughter.) It's no use trying to prevent it. Defendant—Some clothes belonging to one of my chil dren were missing, and plaintiff was questioned upon the subject. She denied all knowledge of the missing pro perty, but then there was the young man, and she would not tell me his name. (A laugh.) She knew where he was living, and if she had told me I might have traced out the clothes. MB Honour—l do not think she was hound to tell you. You see there was nothing to connect him with the pro perty, and it was not very pleasant for her to have him ac cused. The mere suspicion of felony is no ground for with holding her wages. Defendant—l believe she has been paid all her wages. Plaintiff—lndeed 1 have not. I told Mr. Payne that the young man lived with his mother. His Honour—You must pay this money forthwith, Mr. Payne. Verdict for plaintiff. No. 2.—AN IMPERTINENT MISTRESS-My SUNDAY EVEN INO OUT-RIORDEN V. SCOTT. This was an action to recover a month's wages in lieu of notice. 41) Plaintiff, a very smart looking girl, said she had been suddenly turned out without notice. Defendant—l will just tell your Honour about this. One Sunday evening Mrs. Scott asked plaintiff to take baby. " It's like your impertinence to ask such a thing when you know it's my Sunday evening out," replied Miss Riorden. (Roars of laughter.) Hearing this, I came out of the par lour, and told her she should not go out, or if she did that she might stop out altogether. She did go out—(laughter) —and the next morning demanded her money, and said she would not remain. Plaintiff—The abuse I've had to put up with is awful; while the names he called me ; and had to nurse baby in a cold room night after night, when he knows I came from carriage people. (Roars of laughter.) His Honour—Don't talk rubbish. Plaintiff—Ah 1 no one knows. I've had to walk upon rats. (Renewed laughter.) His Honour—Did your mistress tell you not to go out ? Plaintiff—She did not stop me. His Honour—Did she tell you that if you went out you would forfeit your wages ? Plaintiff—Oh, no. Besides, I had a right to go out. I expressly engaged for my Sunday evening ; and the lan guage he used was dreadful. His Honour—Your tongue is a perfect curse to you. I should think your mistress must have had a nice time of it. You will not answer a question properly ; and it is very clear you went out against the wishes of your mistress. You will be no nsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MA,NSION-HOUSE. John Baxter was charged with embezzeling £l7O, the moneys of his masters, Messrs. Christie, hatters, City, in whose employment he was chief clerk and cashier. 'Mr. Hugget, detective, apprehended the prisoner in Jersey, and brought him back to London. He gave up to the constable £174. Tho prisoner was remanded till Friday. Richard Wm. May, Billingsgate-market, was charged on summons by the superintendent of the Salmon Fisheries on the Tweed, with being unlawfully possessed of salmon, contrary to the statute for the preservation of salmon in close time. The defendant settled the case by giving a cheque for £l9 6s. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DESPERATE THIEF.—John Burns, described as of no home nor occupation, was charged before Mr. Bingham as follows : Mr. Philip Fry, pawnbroker, of 2, Crown-street, Soho, said that on the previous evening, about 6 o'clock, he was informed by a neighbour residing opposite, that the pri soner had taken a coat from the outside of his shop. He followed the prisoner about 50 yards, when he stole:a pic ture from another shop, having at the time the coat stowed away in a basket. On his asking how he became possessed of it, he said he was " blind drunk." He told him that he would soon sober him, and gave him into custody. William Pickett, 114 F, said he received the prisoner in custody, and he appeared to be drunk at the time. Shortly after he took him into custody he began kicking and biting. After kicking him several times, he was obliged to throw him down to secure him. The prisoner was the most des perate fellow he had ever met with, and when at the sta tion he tore the whale of the clothes off his person, and he was obliged to procure some from the workhouse, before he could be brought to the court. The services of six con stables were required to take him into custody. In answer to Mr. Bingham's question as to wheiher anything was known of the prisoner, The prisoner admitted he had been convicted by Mr. Sergeant Adams and received eight months' imprison ment, and that ho had been convicted other times besides. Mr. Bingham said he would remand the prisoner for a week that inquiries might be made.

THE NEW ENVOY TO THE COURT OF PERSIA. — Mr. Charles Alison, just appointed Envoy to the Court of Teheran, has had very considerable Oriental experience. He 1 5 ' n t the Consulate-General 1839, w as in was Albania, employed a so e arl early some as years ap pointedth Paid Attache at Constantinople. In 1841 - 42 , he was on special service in Egypt, and in Syria in 1843 . In hof April, December, 1844, he was Oriental Secretary at Constanti nople, and shortly afterwards was deputed on special ser vice to the Island of Samos, where he was promin en tly use ful in restoring things to the condition in which they now are. In 1847, he was again on special service at Badroun ; again, in 1849, on the Greek frontier; again, in 1850, in Servia, Bosnia, and Valachia ; at Schumlah in 1854, and on the coast of Circassia, and in the Principalities in 1856-56. On the 20th of February, 1857, he was appointed Secretary to the Embassy at Constantinople, and on the 12th of De cember, in the same year, wac Charge d'Affaires, which post he held till July, 1858 . Few men, therefore, have had greater experience in the Turkish empire, and we have no doubt Mr. Alison's services will be equally useful in Persia,--Itommard Ni(. DEATH OF THE SURGEON-AU.RIST TO THE LATE QUEEN CHARLOTTE. Among the throng King Death has levelled of late, was one well worthy a passing notice, viz., Mr. - Wright, of Duke-street, St. James's, Aurist- Surgeon to Queen Charlotte, &c. ; the ashes of this venerable Professor having been committed to their final resting-place the other day at Kensal Green Cemetery, at the advanced age of 86 years. 'William Wright was born at Dartford, in Kent, in May, 1773, and commenced his professional practice in the city of Bristol in 1816 ; and it was here that Miss Hannah Flatcher was introduced to him, labouring under the total deprivation of hearing and speech, but by the means he adopted she was enabled to both hear and speak ; and, in 1817, had an interview with her Majesty Queen Charlotte, and held with her a long conversation, upon which Mr. Wright was appointed Aurist- Surgeon in ordinary to her Majesty; and in 1829, he again made the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak, in the person of Miss Mary Anne Adams. In 1823 he was consulted by the Duke of Wellington, and continued in con stant attendance on his Grace until his death. He also attended on their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Gloucester, Puke of Cambridge, Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and family, Sir Robert Peel, and the elite of the aristo cracy. Many now living have to thank him and his 'advancement in meical science for the great blessing they enjoy in hearing the sound of the human voice. Mr. Wright has also been an active hard-working man, and contributed largely to the medical literature of his day. In 1817, he pub lished "An Essay on the Human Ear ;" in 1820, " An Address to Persons afflicted with Deafness ;" in 1822, " Observations on the effects of Mercury ;" in 1826, "Plain Advice for all classes of Deaf Per sons ;" in 1829, "On the Varieties of Deafness ;" in 1834, " The Present State of Aural Surgery ;" in 1839, " A Few Minutes' Advice to Deaf Per sons;" in 1841, "Hand Book for the Deaf;" in 1843, "Facts relative to the Deaf and Dumb ;" in 1848, "Observations on Electricity and Galvanism ;" in 1851, " A Letter on Deafness ;" in 1853, " The Case of F. M. the Duke of Wellington ;" in 1859, " Fishes and Fishing, or the Passions, Loves, and Intolloot of Fishos e end, in 1860, his last work, "Deafness and Diseases of the Ear," in which he gives the cream of 60 years' experience, and there fore a great boon is conferred not only on the medi cal profession but to the public in general. This work he devoted much time and application to, and only a few days before his death, receiving the two first copies issued by the publisher, he observed to an intimate frie n d, " Thi s b oo k has killed me." He was also the editor of the serial entitled the " Aurist ;" was a lecturer for many years on natural philosophy and chemistry • con tributed various papers to the " Lancet," besides the " Mirror," " Family Herald," &c. It is to be regretted that, notwithstanding his great abilities and the number of years he practised, the high eulogiums which have been bestowed on him by the medical profession and his patients generally, that his long illness and other misfor tunes has had the effect of reducing his widow and amiable daughters to straitened circumstances. Mr. Wright was a member of the Masonic Order, was of a lively and animated disposition, was an ardent admirer of his profession, a good husband, a kind father, and a warm-hearted friend. Let us hope that his masonic brethren, and the many in the upper walks of life who are now enjoying the fruits of his toil and science, will not forget those he has left as a legacy to his country. 11I1S DAY'S MARKETS.

By Mrs. G. Gretton. 2 vols. Hurst and Dlackett. It is long since we have met with more agree able volumes than those now before us. They are fresh and varied in their information, clear and un affected in their style, and evidently the production of a writer of no common taste or talent. An ex tended residence in Italy, and a lengthened visit to some relatives living at Ancona, enabled the authoress not only to obtain a superficial knowledge of the various localities, but to enter thoroughly into the distinctive features of Italian domestic and social life i n a manner not o f ten poss ibl e to foreigners. Her warm interest in their country, her , kindly sympathy and ready conversational powers, appear to have made her a favourite among the Italians, of whose hospitality and kindness to her self she frequently speaks, and gives many in stances. The chief portion of her work was written some years ago, but the latter part is of recent date. In the former division she studiously avoids discussing political subjects further than their introduction is necessary to illus trate life and conversation ; but in the* lat ter part of the work she gives us a brief resume of the course of events in Ancona and the other Pontifical possessions, and at the close of the second volume she adds an interesting sketch of the for tunes of the House of Savoy. She combines a good amount of information with a quick observation and enlarged views, and the result has been that she has given us very vivid and life-like pictures. The greater part of her remarks apply to the Marches of Ancona, which name, she tells us, is derived from the term " Marchesato," or " Marqui sate." The picture she gives of the inhabitants of this district reads like a page from the records of the middle ages. It is difficult to realise the fact that in this busy nineteenth century the intelligence of a whole population can be so cramped and re stricted as to make literature and science matters of perfect indifference. Politics, unhappily, possess a more painful interest, but their discussion is for bidden, so there is nothing left to furnish subjects of interest and conversation for this quick•witted, restless people, but the theatre, the lottery, the Arrangement of marriages, and minute inquiries into their neighbours' affairs and hgalth. The authoress observes that her earlier pages were writ ten solely with a view of describing the social and domestic part of Italy little visited by travellers, but whose features of quaintness and originality are not often met with at this epoch. "Even in the Marches these peculiarities risk speedy annhila tion. Should they be fortunate enough to be in cluded in the emancipation from Pontifical govern ment, of which the neighbouring Legations now seem secure, these sketches in ten years time will be looked upon as monstrous caricatures. Should they, on the contrary, undergo no change of regime, what I have said will be as applicable a hundred years hence as it was six months ago." Certainly the portrait she draws is sad enough, though manifestly free from prejudice and full of kind feeling for the people. She remarks, in allu sion to some mournful digression from a gay sub ject, that she constantly finds herself painting in sombre colours when she would fain impart a little light and liveliness to her picture. But she says " it must not be overlooked that I am writing about a country under the blight of an armed foreign in tervention, and kept in control by the Austrian discipline of the stick." The 'feeling against the Austrian interlopers she describes as most bitter, which is not surprising, seeing that they add un provoked insult to the injury of their presence. The incident witnessed by the writer herself at a table d'hote is a sufficient index to their insufferable insolence to the unfortunate Italians. The balls at the casino, which were formerly popular during the Carnival, have declined owing to the unwilling ness of the natives to mix with the Austrian garri son. At the first public ball to which the Austrian officers repaired with their proverbial eagerness for a dance, they found " a large and handsome ball room, brilliant lights, and excellent music, but alas ! to their great chagrin, nought but empty benches to receive them !" The theatre, such as it is, is now the only neutral ground. "To an Ita lian," says our authoress, " the theatre . is home, senate, forum, academy—all and everything in life." The Government, impoverished as it is, with gaunt dis tress assailing it in the shape of houseless poor, decaying ' buildings, and an exhausted treasury, never hesitates to support and promote theatrical entertainments. The theatre, to an Italian population, is like a sweet cake to a fretful child : it serves to stop i.s crying, and divert its attention for a moment, and the intelligent nurse is satisfied. It is a safe diversion : they cannot conspire or talk politics, for spies, as they well know, are largely mingled with the au dience, and every movement or knot of whisperer would instantly be noted. The pieces performed are carefully selected, and none with any allusion to freedom, revolt, or anything of the sort permitted ; for instance, a chorus con taining the word liberta would be suppressed, or another word of different signification substituted for it. Auber's .31 - rita di Portici is not allowed to be represented, because its hero, Masaniello, is the leader of a popular insurrection; nor Rossini's Guglielino Tell, for similar reasons ; besides many others that it would take too much space to enume • rate. Verdi's Ernani is no longer given, although in the early days of Pius IX., when, after granting the amnesty to all political offenders, he was hailed as the regenerator of Italy, the scene in which Charles V. pardons the con spirators, and exclaims, 'Pardon° a tutu,' was received in every theatre of Italy with a frenzy of enthusiasm that must have been perfectly electrifying. It has often been described to me how in Ancona the whole audience used to sit hushed in reverential awe till the expected words had been pronounced, when, as with one voice and impulse, they would break forth into a wild clamour ef applause, which had in it something inexpressibly thrilling and sublime. The national love of society is amusingly described. Every house of importance holds a regular con• versazzone every evening, where friends are ex pected to attend to form the society. Every lady receives some half-dozen gentlemen, either at her own house or in her box at the theatre, as the case may be. "In general, every one had at least two or three houses where he was expected to show himself every evening ; and from a long course of habit each liouse had its own hour assigned to it Many of these intimacies had subsisted for twenty, nay, even thirty years, without auy perceptible variation in the usual tenor of intercourse : they always kept up the same ceremony, assembled in the same half-lighted comfortless saloons, and sat and talked, lamented the good old times, and grew grey together." It is not wonderful that the dc mestic circle should not he very inviting, when we reflect on the mode in which marriages are con ducted, of which frequent anecdotes are given in these volumes. The domestic discomfort is greatly increased by the highly objectionable system of young married couples living with the husband's family, and being kept in strict discipline, like mere children. "We knew a family, one of the most ancient and wealthy in Ancona, where the eldest son, though upwards of 36, and married for more than 10 years, was not at liberty to invite any friend of his own to t he famil y table without his father's permission ; neither could he an nor his wife, for any conveni ence of their own, or retard the fixed hour for dinner, or order that meal to be served in their apartments. All their expenditure was regulated for them, a pair of car riage horses kept at their disposal, their servants' wages paid--even their subscription to the theatre provided for, and a sum assigned for their dress and pocket money—being 20 dollars a month to the heir of this noble house, and to his wife 15. This was considered very liberal." The constant interference and vexatious tyranny of the suocera, mother-in-law, is another fruitful source of do mestic misery. Her authority is supreme over the young wife and mother, and as " she is almost in variably ignorant, prejudiced, and bigoted—such being the characteristics of the greater part of Italian women from 50 or CO years ago"—the results of her rule are often most unfortunate. The education of their families is a source of much anxiety to the superior class of Italians, but the difficulties with which they have to contend are most disheartening. The girls are generally sent very young to a convent, where they remain for eight or ten years, and where the following sys tem of elaborate instruction is carried on. Our authoress was speaking to a young lady of noble family just returned to her home: — Not knowing what else to speak of, I began about her re cent studies, and inquired if she knew French. "No, signora," with downcast eyes. " they did not teach that in the convent." "Did you learn history er geography ?" " No, signora." " But you can embroider " "Si, signora—the nuns taught us tint, and we worked a beautiful set of vestments for the priest who said Mass in our church." " And what did you learn besides ? " " To road and write, and the Catechism." " And have you read many pretty bo o k s ?,, " No, signora ; only the Lives of the Saints.' " i‘ Where was this convent ?—was it near Loretto, or Jesi, or Macerate ?" " I do not know, signora." " You do not know !—was it very far off, then ?" " Not very, signora ; it took four hours to go there from Ancona in a carriage. I remained ten years; I never w ent out all the time, and I returned home the same way that I went." It is no wonder that they are so ready to quit their convents and accept of the most unattractive parti whom their parents have provided, as a means of escaping into the world of theatres and societa. For the young nobles of the Roman States the case is equally hopeles. " Debarred by the prejudices of caste from entering any profession but that of the Church ; conscious that he will never have a field on which to display his abilities, without sti mulus to exertion or prospects for the future, the young noble seems to resign himself to the convic tion that his safest course is to vegetate unthink ing, unquestioning, unknowing, and unknown." Such a course is, indeed, the safest in a country groaning under such miserable misrule. On one OCCaSiOII, our authoress was conversing with an in telligent Italian physician, when the conversation turned upon the Algerine pirates and their cap tives. The Italian drew a painful comparison : Who can count the political prisoners rotting in loath some dungeons in various parts of Italy at this moment ? Your countryman Gladstone has laid bare the horrors of the Neapolitan State prisons; but he did not tell you of Mantua, of Ferrara, of Pagliano ! In the galleys of An cona, many persons, guilty of no other crime than the un guarded expression of their liberal Opinions, are now wear ing the felon's dress and chain. I know of some young men now languishing there, who, for having let off a few fireworks on the anniversary of the proclamation of the Roman Republic, were sentenced by the restored Papal Government to twenty years' companionship —daily a nd nightly companionship—with the foulest murderers. I could relate to you such stories of our prisons —of men worn to premature dotage; of strong hearts crushed ; of noble intellects palsied—as would make you own that a worse slavery than that of Algiers exists for us Of the kindness, the hospitality, and generosity of this long-suffering people the writer cannot speak too highly. "In all scenes of distress and affliction," she says, " their 83 mpathy and charity are very remarkable, and it is beautiful to witness their untiring solicitude towards each other in sick ness." No Italian when ill is ever left alone. His friends devote themselves to him and divide the hours of watching. She tells an anecdote of a young man of Bologna, who lingered for eight months in agonies from an incurable injury to the spine. His friends, who were otherwise gay and frivolous as himself, arranged their attendance so that day and night two were always with him. We must bear in mind the national love of socitict and horror of solitude and silence, fully to appreci ate this kindness which, among ourstives, might appear intrusive. Their delicacy towards the poorer members of a circle, in matters of dress and ostentation ; their kindness in always reserving places at their feasts for tedious old friend's of the family, and those who cannot in vite them in return, are equally admira ble. It is impossible to lay down these volumes without sharing in the writer's regret that the Marches of Ancona, of whose inhabitants she has such kindly recollections, are so wretched in the present, so full of uncertainty in the future. We must, however, like the Italians themselves, rest our hopes on that gallant little kingdom and its " Re galantuomo" which has afforded the sole ray of light in the dreary darkness of the last ten years to the unhappy Peninsula. Everywhere was the same enthusiasm felt, everywhere Piedmont was spoken of as the anchor of hope. Only the codini or Austrian retrogade party looked on with dis trust and suspicion, and it is very amusing to read the author's account of the horror with which the patriotic and enlightened statesman, Count Cavour, to whom the cause of Italy owes so much, is regarded by this obstinate and bigoted party in his own country. We take our leave of these interesting volumes with the following tribute to the steady courage and unswerving fidelity of Victor I'm manual : The situation of the young King might well be termed desperate. A victorious enemy on his borders, a shattered army, an exhausted treasury, his clergy and nobility dis affected to the new order of things ' • t• crown all, absolutism triumphant all over Italy, and the certainty that Austria was only watching for a pretext for a fresh invasion. It needed but for him to have annulled his father's conces sions, to propitiate a large number of his subjects, disarm the hostility of his powerful neighbour and her satellites, and possess himself of those privileges of which his prede cessor had stripped the crown. It will be registered in the grateful hearts of millions yet unborn, that Victor Em manuel was proof alike to warnings, entreaties, and blan dishments. Through evil and good report, kinglike and manfully did he uphold the constitution to which he had sworn, till he met his reward in the wondrous confidence and enthusiasm of which he is now the object. It is not a sudden impulse, this love of the Italians for Victor Emmanuel. On the contrary, when he mounted the throne, so great was the universal hatr Id fur kings, gene rated by the perfidy of their own prin ces, that few reposed beliet in his assurances. It was only when he was seen firmly contending with Rome against her encroachments and intolerance ' • throwing open his States to the political refugee without regard to his opinions, equally sheltering constitutionist or republican; unflinching in maintaining the liberty of the press, and the dignity of the country, de spite the menaces of Austria, and ever eager in promoting national prosperity and enterprise ; that the prejudice against monarchy was overcome, and the Italians, from Venice to Etna, bestowed upon him the surname of the " Re galantuomo." To the influence of Azeglio and Cavour, one or other of whom has rarely been absent from his counsels since his accession, much is no doubt due; but while fully acknow ledging their obligations to the patriotism, courage. and intrepidity of these Ministers, as well as to the host of emi nent men they have gathered round them from all parts of the peninsula, the Italians never forget to give the chief glory to Victor Emmanuel. Without his steadfast ad herence to the Constitution, as to a trust bequeathed him by his father, Italy would not now be looking forward to assuming her place among the nations. The Canterbury Tales of Chaucer. With Notes, &c. 3 yds. 'r. Nichol. Vols. 1 and 2. The father of English poetry is now appear ing in his place in Mr. Nichol's admirable series of the British Poets. It will be remem: bered that the works of Spenser have been recently completed, and the great satisfaction expressed by the public with regard to the method adopted has encouraged the editor to continue his system. The aim has been to render these great standard works of English poetry comprehensible and attractive to the modern reader without demanding for their perusal a degree of erudition that is oniy possessed by few. It is, however, impossible to modernise the text of Ch iucer in the same degree as that of the " Faery Queene," but thanks to the convenient arrangement of the mar ginal glossary, readers of ordinary intelligence and acquirement will now be easily enabled to elucidate any perplexing passages. The text is given entire, and the dissertations and notes of Tyrwhitt, " which have always," says the preface, " been re garded as a masterpiece of research and scholarship, are added in full." The notes belonging to each volume are given with it, which is a much better plan than that of placing them altogether at the conclusion, and greatly facilitates reference. Mr. Cowden Clarke having allowed the publisher to make use of his " Riches of Chaucer" in modern ising the text, every assistance has been afforded towards making the edition as complete as possible. Mr. Gilfillan gives the life of Chaucer with the second volume, and will add a dissertation on his writings with the third ; the introductory part of the first volume being engrossed by Mr. Tyrwhitt 's essay and discourse. Personaljr stlg, Barrister-at-Law. Ish"nd-Legal Remedie s . die sßy Campbell Longman. A more general knowledge of the laws that affect us personally is being diffused among us, and the little work before us appears to give a fair summary of legal remedies that can be obtained for personal injuries. Mr. Sleigh is the author of " A Handy Book on Criminal Law as applied to Commercial Transactions," and the success which has attended that work encourages him to anticipate a similar degree of public favour for the present volume, which is of a similarly practical character. The author quotes in support of his work the opinion of Blackstone, who says that "it is incumbent upon every man to become acquainted with those laws, at least with which he is immediately concerned." As a me ins of enabling the public to follow this sage advice he has compiled this little volume, which we should imagine would be of some service in enabling the reader to acquire a knowledge of the intricacies of our law courts. Say and Seal. By the Authors of " The Wide Wide World," and "Dollars and Cents." Bent- ley. The announcement of a new work by these authors will attract the attention of the large circle of readers who recall with pleasure the perusal of ,‘ The Wide Wide World," and its pleasante r , though less didactic companion, the history of the amily of Glen Luna. The work before us is written in the same style, with a high moral and religious tone, which, however, does not prevent love and love-making from forming its principal ingredient. The hero is a gentleman of unusual excellence and great abilities, who, from various motives, has accepted the office of school-teacher in a quiet little country town. He lodges with a widow, and her only daughter. Faith Derrick is a charming character, aad this Mr. Linden speedily discovers. Accordingly, he becomes reconciled to the world, and as Faith looks upon him as almost superhuman, there are few difficulties in the way. Various events and characters are introduced, pro minent among whom is Dr. Hariison, a physician, a clever but sceptical man, who also acknowledges distinctly yet delicately drawn, and the conver sations, the power of Faith's attractions. The characters if almost too numerous, are very skilfully and naturally written. The chief fault of the work is its diffuseness, for which the authors apolo gise in a quaint but somewhat mystical preface. There is much true a nd sim ple feeling in it, and it will no doubt ,be greatly prized by the lovers of quiet and faithful pictures of domestic life. It is not a work to be hastily skimmed for the excite ment of the plot, but to be read for the careful de lineation of character and the attraction of its home scenes. SHOCXIN • G RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—HANDBO - uoucH, Friday. --A sad accident occurred at the Hand borough station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, yesterday evening, arising through the rashness of a passenger, who attempted to get into a train while in motion. It appears that a farmer named Powell alighted at the station for some purpose, the train exchang ing passengers here for Oxford and London. While on the platform he observed that the train was moving, as if to re sume its journey, and Powell accordingly ran after, and jumped on the step of one of the carriages, when he was thrown down, and, falling between the platform and the carriage, was fearfully crushed. One of his arms was nearly torn from the socket, and he was otherwise injured. He was removed to the infirmary at Oxford, where he now lies in a dangerous state. Ills arm and a portion of one foot has been amputated. 91i i 55 4f 1161 1i 951 794 Stook Stock Stock Stock Stook 100 stock 100 100 100 10Q 100 10C 100 100 106 100 100 100 all all all 5 28& 5 1 I 11 1051 a
