Last week, a spruce, dapper young woman, not exceeding four feet in height, accompanied by her mother, a staid and pious-looking personage, ap peared before Mr. Justice Little, at Anderton, to charge her husband, James Davis, a Jack in minia ture, to whom she had been married five years, with endaagering her life, and many other offences and de ficiencies w►th which a true and loving husband likes not to be charged. It appears that Mrs. Jane Davis was rather a stylish lass, and when Jack returned from a voyage in the gallant Valorous, of 26 guns, he found her so much improved in her rigging that he feared all was not right, which on inquiry was, to hir great sorrow and shame, most fatally corroborated, for his rib had proved faithless, having early broken her marriage vow with one of those men of war who carry long togs and anchor buttons. Jack thereby kicked up a row, and took away some of her toggery and other things, among which was a quail tity of Taylor's Balsamella, Herbatic Fluid, Cos metic Cream, &c., and sold them to a travelling Jew. For these unheard-of offences he was brought before the Justice, and to make assurance doubly sure, he was charged with " impotency," which poor Jack was obliged to disprove by bringing a ceztificate from a surgeon, which settled the point at once as to his being no" female husband." The worthy Justice having heard all patiently, dismissed the disconsolate damsel to learn the duties of a true and faithful spouse, a part of her education which seemed to have been hitherto neglected.—Devonport Telegraph. HARE THE MURDERER. ' On Friday evening last, Hare the murderer called in a public-house in Scarva, accompanied by his wife and child, and having ordered a naggin of whiskey, he began to inquire for the welfare of every member of the family of the house, with well affected solicitude. However, as Hare is a native of this neighbourhood, he was very soon recognised, and ordered to leave the place immediately, with which he complied, after attempting to palliate his horrid crimes, by describing them as haring been the effects of intoxication. He took the road towards I.oughbrickland, followed by a number of boys, yelling and threatening in such a manner as obliged him to take through the fields, with such speed, that he soon disappeared, whilst his unfortu nate wife remained on the road, imploring forgive ness, and denying, in the most solemn manner, any participation in the crimes of her wretched husband. They now reside at the house of an uncle of Hare's, near Loughbrickland. Hare was born and bred about half a mile distant from Scarva, in the oppo site county of Armagh ; and, shortly before his de parture from this country, he lived in the service of Mr. Hall, the keeper of the eleventh lock, near Pointzpass. He was chiefly engaged in driving the horses, which his master employed in hauling lighters on the Newry Canal. He was always re markable for being of a ferocious and malignant dis position, an instance of which he gave in killing one of his master's horses, which obliged him to fly to Scotland, where he perpetrated those unparalleled crimes that must always secure him a conspicuous page in the annals of murder.—Belfast Paper.

The crowd in the passages leading to the House was very numerous, although not 80 great as last night. The space around the Throne was crowded with Peeresses, and Members of the House of Commons, amongst whom we noticed the Solicitor-General, Lord Wm. Powlett, Sir Francis Burdett, &c. &c. Lord ELnoN was the first Peer that entered the House. His Lordship was preceded by a messenger bearing a large bundle of petitions. The Bishop of CHESTER read prayers. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition front a place in Sussex, against the Catholic Claims. The Duke of CUMBERLAND presented two similar petitions from places in Scotland, General GASCOYNE and others brought up several private Bills. Several Bills were read a second time. Petitions against further concessions were presented by Lord Radnor, from an individual at Barking ; by Lord Brayhrooke, from Saffron Walden, Essex ; by Lord Eldon, from Waterford, and twenty-six other places. Lord HILL presented a petition from Banff, in favour of Catholic emancipation. Lord BEAUCHAMP said, in reference to what had been stated on a former evening by a Noble Lord opposite, at the time he (Lord B.) presented a petition from tlva neighbourhood of Worcester, respecting the conduct of a Clergyman, he begged to read a letter he had received from that individual; he had been charged with publishing the most - inflammatory hand-bills, and using undue influence, this he positively denied, and stated he was not the author of them, neither did he sanction their distribution, and begged that he might be informed who his accusers were. Lord LYTTLETON—The Noble Lord has overstated the charge, what he asserted was, that these obnoxious hand-hills could not have been circulated without the Mi nister's knowledge, for he was present at the Meeting, and took no notice of them ; he was not charged with com posing them. The Noble Lord presided at the Meeting, and must he aware of these facts; he most cer tainly did not feel justified in giving the name of his informant, he was sorry to cast aspersions on the character of any man, but he had felt it his duty as a Peer of Par liament to expose any act of public delinquency. ( LE FT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir G. MURRAY brought in a Bill for the Continua• tion of several Acts relative to Newfoundland. Read a first time, and ordered to lie read a second time on Mon day. Also a Bill for the Regulation of the Settlement at Swan River. Mr. LATOUCHE presented two petitions from Ire land against the Sub-letting Act. Mr. lIUMB presented a petition from Mr. F. For tune, merchant, praying that the House would repeal the 6th Geo. IV., and allow the 18th of Geo. 111. to come into operation, which would allow the petitioner to import cheap tea from Holland. Mr.IIUMF. presented a petition from several individuals of the Four Courts, Marshalsea, Dublin, praying that the system of arrest on mesne process might be abolished, or at least that the late alteration, which raised the amount for arrest to the snm of 151., might he extended to Ire land. The Hon. Member instanced a case where a pooa woman was imprisoned in the prison of those Courts for a period of thirty-on e years for a sum of 271. 13s. Sd. There are, by the last returns, 1633 persons under arrest for Bums under the amount of 20/. He re commended this question to the attention of the Secretary for Ireland in the ho7,e that it might be remedied. Lord L. GOWEIi. replied that it was his intention to introduce a measure to assimilate the law in both countries. Mr. D. W. HARVEY was of o: , inion that intro ducing, the same course as to the sum wouk) not be pro— ductive of the desired effect, which required a deliberate consideration of the state of the law, between debtor and creditor. DL. FIUME, iR moving that the petition be printed, observed that if the same remedy were intro lured into England and Ireland as was used in Scotland, that of giving the creditor an economical, simple, and efficacious process against the goods of the debtor would he productive of the greatest benefits. - The Hon. MEMBER al,o moved for a copy of the Treasury warrant for premiums for the Erowth of hemp, press his adherence to one side of the question or the other; yet will the debate of last night he al most swallowed up by p u bli c curiosity. Nor is this anxiety to be blamed: never do we wish to see that time, when any measure, even of the twentieth part of the Nveght of that which is now under con sideration, can be viewed without interest by the great body of the people. But there may be a zeal without knowledge, as well as a zeal with know ledge ; and it is obvious in the present instance what is the source of error, and what are the prin ciples of a correct ludgment. It is clear to our minds, that the people who are opposed to con cession suffer their dislike of the errors of the Catholic faith to degenerate into an un christian hatred of the persons of its profes sors ; yet many a man who bows down his head be fore an image, has as ardent a that Eng land should lift up her head among the nations of the earth, as the most rational theologian; and a person who attends a form of worship in a language which he does not understand, may read the Con stitutiOn aright. Out of the very scanty materials, however, which were left for the Duke of Welling ton, his Grace worked up a vigorous and convinc ing speech. The allusion to his own profession, and to the scenes which, in the discharge of its duties, he had witnessed, was most happy. He de precated—he dreaded, civil wars; and yet, what other result could be expected, if Ireland, naw so ardent in her expectations of justice, were debarred of her claims ? Other Noble Lords, who, no doubt, are better acquainted ilith the inflictions of war than his Grace, may probably see no great mischief in it; and it is right in such men to run the risk, or to encounter the certainty, rather than con cede a jot to their fellow -countrymen and fellow- Christians. But such, surely, are not the dictates of ordinary policy, prudence, or humanity. The Bishops are acting with tolerable liberality as a body ; even of those who oppose concession, all who have any reputation for talents or learning put forth a cautious, restrained, and measured resist ance; but the speech of Dr. Lloyd, Bishop of Ox ford, in favour of concession, has ensured a lasting reputation to that Prelate. It was heard with the most earnest attention, and will be read with no less interest and approbation, though, in reading the mariner of its delivery, which was moat animated and impressive, cannot be seen or felt. As to the iqfuriates, they deserve here, and will obtain there where they speak, but little notice. They would probably, if left to themselves, propagate Acir faith as Jonathan Martin has endeavoured to propagate his. The debate, at a quarter past one this morn ing, was adjourned to this evening. A triumph, we have no doubt, as splendid as the friends of equal rights and a liberal policy could wish, will appear on the division ; and we would advise the enemies to a measure now decidedly carried, arid to which re sistance is vain, to learn forthwith to calm their transports, and bridle their rage. It is time tha peace should begin.—Times. There is one part of the Catholic Bill that we ap prove of; and that is, the Priests of that Church are not to be taken into the pay of that Govern ment ; and John Bull is not to be taxed some hun dreds of thousands a year in order to pay salaries to the Priests of a religion that it had hitherto brea taught to consider damnable and idolatrous. Whe ther, however, the present Bill is merely a prelude to future Bills—.and whether Bills will hereafter be proposed for the payment of the Catholic Priests— we cannot, at present, form any idea. It is not im probable, however, but that, when Lay Catholics have seats in Parliament, the Catholic priesthood will goad them on to bring forward measures for their relief, as it will then be called. Should, how ever, nothing be hereafter done for the Catholic Church, then we think it likely that Catholics will gradually become Protestants, if it were only to get rid of paying two churches. Self-interest, in all proba bility, will cause them hereafter to say, that as they must pay our Church, they may as well muke their election and belong to one church only, thus getting rid of paying their own. But the gradual introduc tion of manufactures into Ireland by English Pio testants, will, as we have often asserted, work a gradual alteration in opinions. The cause for the removal of manufactures from London, and the South and West of England, to the North -and to Scotland, arose from the cheapness of provisions in comparison with London and the South and the West ; and as the price of provisions in most parts of Ireland is so much lower than in the manufac turing districts of Great Britain, so we think manu facturers will find their way to Ireland. Should this take place, which we believe it will, in the course of half a century a ♦ery material alteration may be effected as regards Protestantism. In France, we understand, among the Catholics, it is very fa shionable to be what- is called " pious"—that the ordinances of the Catholic Church are very strictly attended to ; but we understand, at the same time, that conversions to Protestantism from'Catho licism are rapidly making.—Morning Herald. About two o'clock this morning a fire broke out in one of the workshops of Messrs. BRACY and Son, wheelwrights, at the back of Thomas -street, Upper Stamford-street, which soon communicated to the rear of three or four houses also belonging to Messrs. BRA ET, but occupied by different tenants, who were soon apprized of their danger, and had time to remove .1., cry article of furniture, without their sustaining the least injury. The fire was not got under until the workshops were entirely consumed, but the houses Were not materially dainved. This celebrated individual visited Dumfries a few dote ago. His object, as may, be supposed, was. to see Mrs. Burns, the Bard's Mausoleem, and St. Mieleurre Church yard —not the least emarkehle cemetery in Britain. In ell these respects hie wishes ware gratified. WeeNs , le much with hint, orei eon answer for his being us modest as •he is talented and ingeeieue. Even about hie pereen there is something remarkable. Though only 26 years of age, he is muereteler and brawny in a high degree, measures fully six feet two inckee high, has a regular and rather handsome Scotch face, (id which decision morally, turd locality phrenologically, are certainly very etrongly marked), and is aitogether—even as reyeirds his ontar nem —such a :eetnltae one does not often meet with in a fftral.-- mer ' s day. Mrs. Thiene he had set down in hie mind's t e e as a very patriarchal Gott of person, exhibiting all the marks of feeble old ; and was' not a little pleased and sere prised to find her under sixty, in perfect health, and nearly as active as she was when the Bard saw her for the first time on a bleach-green at Mauchline, arid waif; greeted with something very like a scold for allowing his dot; Of • run over her and Fluid various articles of female gear, which she and a companion, as youthfel as herself, were tending, like Peggy and Jenny, at Hubby's Howe. When taken to. St. Michael's, Mr . . Thom, like all other strangers, era, much struck with the nthet!yere variety, and elegance, of the monuments. Several of the designs claimed and re- ceived his meed of praise ; Messrs. Newell and Cromhie were flatteringly noticed, and with the efterption of the art of lettering, in which he thinks no somewhat defi tcoiene equal al s t , he t. expressed Michael'sin c his convictionotlnd. With the r eathrlatei theret.ais i,tafter , iiesnFe srel,,, b , izte r, of the M a u so l eum , he w as w e ll pleased patient examination ; the design, he Raid, was chaste, and the workmanship excellent, and, upon the whole, he seemed to be of opinion that the strncture—cone . Sidering the spot where It starole—does no discredit t o . the ashes of him who sleeps below. In the interior he was still more at home, and we reelly admired the readi ness and acuteneas with which he detected every flaw in the sculptures. On meeenring the Poet's marble hand, he found it both longer and broader than his own—a thing that most be entirely out cf nature, considering both the dimensions and praportione of his own truly gigantic palm.—The somewhat awkward twist in the bust, the " scanty latitude" of the coat, with the skirt receding where it ((herald obviously extend, were ales proved to be reel defects ; while at the same time, justice was freely and generously done to several good points in the seelptoree,' and particularly to the likenesses that exists between the Bards profile, and Mr. .Nayamith's portrait. Mr. Thom, as we have said, is little more than 7i: years of age. He was bred a stone mason in Kihnarneck, and at a very etrly period displayed a decided taste for sculpture. During his apprenticeship he cut several beet* in stone, and on one occasion made an admirable reurceene tation of a ram's head, which he purchased from a butcher while returning front the ire, after figuring at the "roar ing play." At one period, too, he work( d with a tror l e carver in Glasgow ; but beyond the art of forming gotbie ornaments, and handling the mallet in the roost ordinary way, he is indebted to nature and his own efforts for every one of those acquirements which distinguish him fieen the herd of common craftsmen. Sometime lest year he became acquainted with oar respectable friend Mr. Auld, of Ayr—a man of taste in the arts generally, and when services proved as invaluable, as his enthusiasm is irrepres sible, in every thing that regards the Burns' Ayr Mono ment—perhape the most tasteful pillar in Britain,. At first, we believe, nothing was contemplated beyond some heads in stone, to ornament the monument; but the artist in the end, was induced to essay a bolder flight, and the result justified the most flattering estimate that had Lena formed of his talents. Uhler the patient exercise of the dike!, a greyish sort of stone, sufficiently hard and of good texture, found on the estate of Auchen cruivi, was transformed, we may almost say, into living representatives of the redoubted " Tam o' Shanter," en 71 his " drowthy eronie Sauter Johnny." The figures, when finished, excited great admiration in Ayr; were afterwards removed to Edinburgh, where thousands visited them, and are at this moment, as the newspapers inform us, attracting still greater crowds in the city of Glasgow. Bea the exhibition closes in a few (lays, and early ie April it is intended to remove the figures to London, and afterwards to Leeds, Liverpool, and Man chester. In Glasgow the receipts occasionally exceeded 1201. weekly, and we speak with the book open when we say, that a very handsome - sum has been prised in all. But as the artist was paid for his labours by subscription, and thus enabled to call into being, what might have ether. wise remained a block in the quarry, may a part, we be- , lieve, of the profits accruing from the different Exhibitions is destined to find its way into his pocket. The figures, in fact, are the property of the subscribers to the Burns' Ayr Monument, and after they hate made the round of Britain, gratifying, as they travel, millions of eyes, will ultimately find a niche or rather a resting place in one cut the most elegant and interesting structures which the gra titude of the living—we mean in Seotland—has hitherto dedicated to the fame of the dead. Than the site of the monument nothing can be finer or more appropriate. For miles around almost every spot is elaelie ground ; and so many interesting associations rush on the mind, that the attention of the traveller is literally distracted betwixt " the old and new Briggs o' Daon,"—the bank and braes of the stream itself—Kirk Alleway, where the hags held their carnivals of yore,—A yr,wi th its dungeon and WallaceTowere, goodly bay in the distance, and gorgeous woods around, — the humble cottage in which the Bard was burn, and the equally unpretending but hallowed spot in which repose the ashes of his sire. Here, then, the figures will remain pro bably to a very distant posterity, commemorative of the bard, and commtmoratire of the author—another proud proof of the genius of Ayrshire, and the might that may slumber in a peasant's laded. In sculpture, like other arts, there arc many steps, and everybody knows that artists first model their figures in clay, and then take casts from them in plaster of Paris, before they proceed to operate on the solid marble. But .31r. Thom disregards all these processes. The model li copies from his own mind ; and hitherto, at least, a cor ,, rect eye has been of far more service to him than the roles of art. This fact appeared so surprising that many LAM» burgh gentlemen were sceptical on the subject, until they actually witnessed the moth's operandi. Still the profes sion, while they admit Mr. Thom's natural abilities, main tain that he cannot become a great sculptor linksa he con sent to study as others have done, and that here, as in l e e s d lry g . e. other or c Indeed, a writersi nce, there to is n an Edinburgho roya l r t e o r, - who signs himself "An Artist," tells the public plainly that there is very little metit in drapery and comic expres sion, and that the whole excellence of sculpture lies in the art of producing beautiful Mrms. Now, though this doctrine may be true So a certain extent, we demur to its application in She case of Mr. Thom.— His fame unquestionably rests on a more durable basis then " mere drapery and comic expression." The figure of " Sonter Johnny," caught, as it were, in the act of telling one of his " queerest stories," is a perfect creation graphic, spirited, and so full of meaning, that an involun tary smile mantles on the face of every beholder at them recognising the veritable boon companion of the hero of a tale equal to anything in the same compass that ever was penned by mortal man. When the veteran Macklin re formed the mode of acting the character of Shyluck, some body called out from the pit of Drury Lane, " That is the Jew That Shakspeare drew ;" and, mutatis mutandis, the same thing may be said of the renowned cobbler. When the young Roscius acted the part of Norval in Edinburgh, Mr. Home, who was pre sent declared that the performance exceeded his own eon ceptionsolthe character. A similar story is told of a great modern author, and we cannot pay Mr. Thorn a greater compliment than to say, that if Robert Burns had been still alive, he would have been as much delighted with the works of his chisel as Sir 'Walter Scott was when he first saw the inimitable Mackay enact the part of Bailie Nicol Jarrie. The very conception of the stone bac chanals, apart from the power of execution, is in the highest degree creditable to Mr. Thom, and if we are not greatly mistaken, will permanently rank him with the first self-taught geniuses of the age. Besides the figures alluded to, the artist bait fashioned am! nearly finished, the landlord and his helpmate in capital style. These, however, are the property of the Earl of Cassillis, and intended for his private gallery of art. But the artist may copy his own works, and when the group is complete, the land will again ring with his fame, and the Exhibiticn become the leading Lion "of the day. Already, we believe, he has eight or ten figures to execute to order, and whether he choose to study re gularly or not, no friend to Scotland and her sons, will either grudge his good fortune, or seek to wither a single leaf of his laurels.—Dumfries Courier.
