The Board of Trade returns issued yesterday show an improving tendency in business, mid the weekly accounts' of railway traffic also in dicate greater activity in commercial affairs. In. nearly all the principal , lines there continues to be a pro gressive augmentation, which is not only en couraging to the shareholders, but is encouraging also in a mercantile point of view, because there is every reason to presume that the revival will be continuous. In contrasting the weekly receipts at the present time with those of corresponding period of last year, it must be recollected, however, that the comparison is made with the di minished traffic resulting from the crisis, which in November last was at its height. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. In Railway Shares a very limited business was transacted., and values slightly declined. The demand for money is still very limited, and the rates indicate a tendency towards increased ease. This change, however, is not regarded as one likely to prevail for any length, of time, as in a few days the. usual monthly payments on commercial account, together with the settlements of the Stock Exchange, may stimulate an inquiry.• The least extra demand induces banking and bill brokers to exact fractitonally higher terms for the use of their capital, but such movements are of course to be anticipated , when the anomalous position of the market is considered. About £5 ,000 in American gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The vesse Is next expected from Australia are th Dover Cast ;le with £388,900, and the Marco Polo with £187, , 500. Their arrival has been delayed by contrary V: 'rids, but there are now indications of a and • several of the overdue vessels may shortly make their appearance. • The contir tued quietude of speculation, and the 'few bona fide operations effected leave the English Stock Market t. in the same dull and monotonous state which L \as characterised it for some time past. Variatioi as of 1.16 ors per cent constitute the daily movement in values, and the transactions reported during the week represent a smaller amount than is fvequently concluded in the space of a few hours d' tiring the periods of animation. Still the quotatin,hs remain firm, owing to • the cheapness and abu ndane3 of money. 'The market is easily influenced to a fractional extent by the sale or purchase ,of a small quantity of stock. To-day, the operations have been unimportant, and Consols are 981 for money, and 98-} 1 for the ac count. ' The New Threes, and the Reduced are flat at 961 a. Long. Annuities (1860) 11.

' This was a petitionto strike out a claim of £1,500 against the estate of . John and t Robert Jobson; by their bankers, under articles of indenture by which they considered they had a preferable claim on the joint and separate estates of the bankrupts. Lord Justice Turner was, of opinion that the claim of the bankers could not be allowed, and referred , to the Commis sioner in Bankruptcy to .decide whether the appellants should have their costs of suit. Lord Justice Knight Bruce concurred. • APPEALS-PRIDE . V. FOOKB-7IIDGMENT. Lord Justice Knight Bruce, in delivering judgment, said —The controversy in this case is as to the due construction to be put upon the residue bequest in the will of the late Mr. Thos. Webb in 1805. The testator died in Dec., 1808. The contention in this case arises between the testator's great-grandchildren and the children of his widow by her second marriage and the heir-at-liiv, as to which of them was entitled to the residue of the testator's property under his will and codicil. His lordship was of opinion that the testator had not disposed if the residue of his pro perty by his will, and that there was an intestacy as to his residue, and that the . heir-at-law was entitled to take the residue in preference to the present claimants, the grand-children of the testator. Lord Justice Turner said—This case comes before us upon two appeals from a decision of the Master of the Rolls finding that, according to the true construct the tes tator's will, his great. grand children were entitled to take the residue of his property, amounting to about £33,070 in. Bank 3 per Cent. Annuities. His lordship, after consi dering the terms of the bequest; and referring to several other clauses in the will, seine to the same conclusion as Lord Justice Knight Bruce;that there was no bequest of ° the residue of the testator's property in the events which happened ; that there was an intestacy as to the residue of his personal property taken by his heir3-at4law. The order of the'Master of the Rolls was discharged. Qf consent of next Of kin, costs to be paid out of the funds. ,• CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This,Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron Brasiwell.) EVADING THE BANKRUPTCY LAWS. Lewis Lewis, 38, draper, was badicted for feloniously ; omitting to surrender himself after being declared bank rupt, and also for removing and concealingrhis books. The facts of this case have repeatedly appeared in The Sun while the prisoner was under examination before the magistrates. The jury had not returned their verdict when our repor ter , left. NEW COURT. (BeforO Mr. Jugtice Hill.) THE TURKISH PIASTRE CASE. Antoine Aime Hugon and /Ikon Reverdy, 'the former described in the calendar as a traveller, aged 26, and the latter, a merchant, aged 46, were indicted for unlawfully at tempting to make coin resembling, and with intent that such coin should resemble and piss as the copper coin of a foreign prince, to wit, the Sultan. of Turkey. • Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr..p9land conducted the pro secution, and Mr. Robinson mid 'Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoners. • Mr. Sergeant Parry having Stated 'the case to the jury, called , Mr. David Davis who said—l am a machinist, and carry on business in Collingwood-street, Blackfriars. I first saw Hugon in July. Aime, the yoanger prisoner, asked me if I could make a coining press, and he show e d me a copper coin as a specimen of what he wished it to produce, and asked the number the press would make per minute. I told him with sufficient power it would make 60 per minute. I showed him a model of a press in use at the. Royal Mint. I asked him £3OO for making the press. He Offered £250, but I refused to take that sum. No agreement was made at that visit. They offered.£loo ia money and £125 in bills. They left with the impression that if I found the bill to be good in the City I would take them. The coin they showed me was a copper one, a little larger than our penny. In two days after they left, they returned, and I told them I would not take the bills. Boiserollo (who is not in custody) was indignant at my determination, but ultimately an agreement to make the press was drawn out, and I was told to take it to Chatham-place, where it was to be signed. On going there, I saw Reverdy for the first time. Boiserolle signed the agreement. in presence of the two prisoners. It set forth that the press was to be made in six weeks; the sum to be paid was £270, £lOO of which was to be paid down. The £lOO was broirght to me at my residence the same after noon. As I proceeded with the work, Afine called to seo how I was getting on. Reverdy never came with him. I made some die blocks for Aline soon after taking the order for the press. I made sixteen ; he said he should want a great quantity of them. I delivered them to the die-sinker's by Aime's orders. I received some of the dies back in a -state - for coining. After the dies were returned, I saw Aime very often; indeed, so often that it became quite an noying. On one occasion .I asked him if the engraving did not represent the Turkish Sultan's signature. He said no, and produced some gold coins, and made some explanation, which I did not understand, to show that it was not the Sultan's signature. I had not finished the press on the 10th Sept., but seeing he did not understand the working of the machine, I,had it fixed temporarily to show that the work was right. I told Aime .I should want some pieces of copper to try it, and aalied him to get some cut out by their own machines. I received some copper from him through a Mrs. Kemp, Soho. It was good enough to make coin. I wished to try the machine to see whether the work was right. I ultimately communieated with the Turkish Am bassador. The press never left my premises. I gave the dies to the police in consequence of directions I received from the Embassy. The dies before rue are the same. They only required hardening to be fit for use. Examined by Mr. Robinson—l have made coining presses for the Royal Mint for exportation, but never for private individual?. Everything I told to Boiserolle he repeated to Aime, and he told me the purport of his observa tions. I did not understand a word Boiscrolle said. I went to the Turkish Ambassador before I received any infor mation. The reason I went to the Embassy was in conse quence of the circumstance that took place in Birmingham. I don't know anything about Turkish coins. When Aimo showed me the gold piece I saw there was a difference between it and the copper one, but I did not understand it. Examined byMr. Sleigh—l havemade manydies for foreign coins. I only make the plain steel faces, but then they are taken away to be engraved. I have made dies of foreign coins for private individuals. I have made dies for the purpose of making Mexican and Peruvian coinage, but I did not get the orders direct from the Government. I received the orders from respectable parties, who had en gaged as die-sinkers for years in this country. I don't recollect saying aword to Aime about making the Mexican dies. Never showed him my book with any entries relative to the Mexican dies. It wasinine or ten days before I went to the Embassy that I made the remark about the die representing the Sultan's signature. M. Thomas, the die-sinker, was the next witness ex amined. His evidence was to the effect that Aimo repre sented to him that the dies he wished him to engrave were to replace others that had been broken in the ordinary course of work. Boiserolle was introduced by him to me as an agent of the Turkish Government. From the number of witnesses to be examined the case will occupy the whole of the day. POLICE INTELLIGRYCE.(This Day.) MARLBOROtTGII-STREET. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A MOTHER BY HER SON. —Charles Radford, 29, a seaman, wearing a Crimean medal, was charged with violently assaulting Mrs. Louisa Rad ford, artitVial flower-maker, of 23, Burlington-arcade, and also with breaking several valuable looking-glasses and other property. The prosecutor (who could scarcely give her evidence from emotion),said she was a' widow, andthe prisoner was her son. She had brought him up respectably . ,•and given him a good education. He had lately returned from sea, and last night he came to her house, smashed open the door, made a blow and a severe grasp at her mouth, smashed three large look ing-glasses, and otlier property of the value of £5O, and then got her in a corner of the stairs and prevented her from calling for assistance by holding her mouth. Butcher, 137 C, said that on the previous night ho was on duty near Burlington-arcade, when the man at the gate told him there were screams of "murder" at 23, and when he got to the door he found the 'prisoner with a poker which he had broken in three pieces, at his feet. Before ho (the constable) could secure him he seized a pair of tongs and smashed a valuable glass. The prosecutrix's mouth was scratched. On taking the prisoner into custody he said he would do something worse the first time ho had a chance. Mr. Bingham asked the constable what state the prisoner was in ? The constable said he had been drinking a little, but was not drunk. The prisoner, in his defence, made several charges of an infamous nature against his mother, and then said he had been out all day looking for work, and on coming home found the door shut, and certainly pushed it open, and as soon as he did so his mother cried out "Murder !" and he put his hand on her mouth to prevent her causing a dis turbance. What else he did ho did not know, for he got nearly mad. • ..Mr. Bingham said he had been now nearly 20 years in his:Painful occupation, and had seen in too many cases the extent to which human nature would degrade itself, but in his long experience had never seen a powerful man who would so assault a woman, and that woman his mother, and then aggraVate that offence by uttering such things as pri soner had done. Unfortunately the damage was out of his power, but for the assault on his mother he should at once commit him for two months for an aggravated assault on a woman.

THE SUPPOSED POISONING OF TWO CHILDREN BY LOZENGES. The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of James and Betty Walton, the two children of Mr. Thomas Walton, farmer, of Lever Edge, Great Lever, was resumed on Tuesday afternoon, at the Bradford Arms, Great Lever, before Mr. Rutter, coroner. It will be remembered that the adjournment took place in order to have an analytical examination of the stomachs of the children, and of some of the peppermint lozenges with which they were sup posed to have been poisoned. . Mr. John Carruthers, surgeon, who gave evidence at the previous inquiry, was further examined, and stated that he had not been able to form any other opinion than the one he had already expressed. He had suspected that there was poison in the stomachs,but the appearances both before and after death were such as might be produced by natural causes. Inflammation of the stomach and bowels frequently occurred without any poison being taken, and was often caused by cold. There had been a great deal of bowel complaint recently in the neighbourhood of Bolton, and he could not under take to say that the cases of these children were not ordinary ones of that kind ; yet he thought they appeared sufficiently suspicious to require investi gation. He had never examined the stomach of any person who had been poisoned by arsenic. Mr. Daniel Stone, professor of chemistry to the Royal Manchester School of Medicine, said that on. Thursday afternoon lie received from Police-consta ble Thos. Holland a jar containinf , about two ounces of a yellow glary fluid, mostly bile, which he was instructed to analyse. After a searching exami nation, by the most approved methods known, he was unable to discover any trace of poison. He received, at the same time, a quantity of peppermint lozenges, which he also tested. He found them to be free from arsenic ; but they were largely mixed with plaster of Paris, which was unwholesome and likely to cause irritation, but not to such an extent as to produce death. The coroner congratulated the jury upon the satisfactory termination of the inquiry, and said he thought they could come to no other conclusion than that the children had died from inflammation produced by natural causes. The jury returned verdict to that effect. THIS DAYS 31.eIRKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade ruled very inactive. In prices, how ever, no quotable change took place. Pigs and mulch cows were very dull, at almost nominal currencies.

" The Revolution," said Vergniaud, " like Saturn, is devouring her own children," and the Empire is destroying the first and noblest of her ornaments. The coup d'etat of December 2, 1851, successful as it was over the ChaMbers and the ConstitutiOn, utterly failed to conciliate to the Throne of the new Emperor the support of men who had achieved character and position under the preceding 30 years of liberty, too lightly prized while enjoyed to be deeply regretted when lost. Almost alone among the class to which - he belonged, M. de Montalembcrt at that tryirig moment stood forward to give his moral and inte.tlequal support to the Imperial Throne, while yet rocking from the convulsion which established it. He did not wait to see whether the new institutions would take , root in the soil of France •, he did not wait to see whether the nation that had done and suffered so much and s o vainly for its own liberties and the general rights of humanity would tamely bow beneath the iron rod of a master, but obeyed the strong impulse of his nature, which led him to throw himself heart and soul into the scale that bore the Emperor and his future fortunes. We cannot now estimate the exact value which should be attached to such an adhesion ; but, if we are to judge by the delight with which it was received, we should sup pose it to have been at the moment of no incon siderable importance. At any rate the Emperor has known how fully to acquit himself of the obli gation. After a week spent in the mummeries of a hunt ing masquerade, carried on in costumes that rec all only too faithfally the most degraded . period of the French Monarchy, the Imperial Court reposes from its revels, and the serious business of lifc reclaims the votaries of pleasure. The brilliant Crowd dis perses, and the attention of the nation is turned from fantastic dresses and the vapid'imitation of Moorish chivalry to the tame formalities in the midst of which the last spark of her remaining free dom was to be trodden out. The illustrious pri soner appears before the court commissioned to take cognisance of his offence; but , before what a tribunal for such a defendant. Not for him was reserved a trial before the highest judge's of his county, whose learning, rank, and gravity might, at any rate, lend some show of dignity . and respect for appearance and propriety to the decision they were to pronounce. No, the days are long past since Liberty could clai m sufficient 'respect from. a French Government to cause it to put in motion even for her suppression the higher powers and more deliberate agency of the Superior Courts of justice.. The cause on which hung not only the personal liberty of an illustrious citizen, but the freedom of thought, speech, and writing in the land of Mirabeau, of Constant, of Foy, of Casimir Perrier. of Thiers, and Lamartine, was left to be decided, like a drunken row in a wine shop, a petty theft, or a trifling assault, by the agency of the Correctional Police. So feeble had become the flame, so low did it burn in its socket, that this slight blast from the chilling breath of power was enough to extinguish it altogether. The case of M. de Montalembert was too petty to require the intervention of a jury, and the inferior magis trate had no duty but to listen calmly to the plead ings, and then to pronounce the sentence which the code prescribes for the offence. M. de Monta lembert has received for his too fervent praise of England and his the insufficient appreciation of the merits of the Imperial system a sentence of im prisonment for six months and a fine of three thousand francs. He has ventured to -praise Eng land, and in so doing has been considered to have pronounced the bitterest invective against France. It were hard indeed if England did not sympa thise with a man who is made by the action of his (mil Government a sort of martyr in our cause ; but much more deeply, though unhappily more silently, must the French nation feel that it has lost, not only the ablest defendcrsof its liberties, but the last wreck of those liberl ies themselves. M. de Monta lembert carries with him into his cell all that is now left of a literature which for the last three centuries has often instructed and often delighted mankind. The language of so many noble writers who found means to give utterance to their free thoughts even amid the despotism which prevailed before the Bastille was destroyed and while the Sovereign retained the power of issuing lettres de cachet, is now finally undermined by a more insi dious foe. French may still continue the language of business of diplomacy, and war, .but its litera ture is closed from this day forth until the nation reconquer the right once more. to give utterance in a durable form to its feelino's, its convictions, and its aspirations. M. de Mmitalembert will be at tended to his prison by the sympathy and regret of all free and honest men, and his sentence, at the very moment while it is being executed, will be rescinded bylhe unanimous verdict of the conscience and intellect of Europe. By this condemnation he will fall under the provisions of that shameful law passed in the agony and helplessness occasioned by the plot of Orsini, which places the liberty and consequently the life of a person convicted of such an offence at the absolute disposal of the Executive Govermnent. We would not willingly add to the danger of his situation any useless invectives and complaints, but we at least preserve that freedom which he has lost by attempting to exercise it, and we should ill discharge our duty if we shrank from inscribing this epitaph on the urn which holds the ashes of what was once French literature. We can understand that it may be a relief to the Emperor for a moment thus to silence an acute and unfriendly critic, and to exhibit one of the first men of France as so slight a person as to be crushed without effort beneath the smooth and easy pro gress of Imperial omnipotence. But we ask—and all the more openly since no Frenchman is permit ted to put the question—what a fate the Emperor imagines he is preparing for himself and his dynasty by proceedings like the present ? Does he believe that because he can annihilate the expression and still the voice, he can also obliterate the thoughts which burn for themselves a passage no tyranny was ever able to obstruct through the breasts of a silent but quick-witted people ? What his own aspirations once were we have learnt from his own published writings;—what they have now become we learn from the prosecution of M. de Montalem bert. Have all the lessons of a long adversity, of a severe imprisonment, of a protracted and dangerous struggle with the hostile Legislature, been thrown away, and does there remain nothing of these rude, but we had hoped salutary lessons, except the ais position to inflict on those who thwart his will the pains which he himself has endured ? When will Sovereigns remember that nations must be educated as well as ruled, and that he who deliberately shuts out from his subjects the ennobling influence of free discussion is preparing them for gross delusions, unfounded panics. violent animosities, and furious revenges,—in a word, for the indulgence of all those evil passions which are best regulated and corrected by an open heart and a well-disciplined intellect ? CHURCH RATE LITIGATION. Another church-rate went to the wall on Wednes day, by a decision of Dr. Lushington, the new judge of the Arches Court of Canterbury, it being, we be lieye, the first judgment he has given in that capa city. The churchwardens of St. Neot's had sue cecied in obtaining a majority for a rate, and had even polled the parish to obtain authority to pro ceed against defaulters in the Ecclesiastical Court ; but the rate has been declared to be incurably bad, on the ground of omissions in the assessment, and of properties being rated at too low an amount. Hitherto there have been conflicting opin ions whether what is known as the Small Tenements Act, under which landlords may com pound for the rates of their tenants, applied to church rates. The opponents of that exaction have always denied that it did so, but, in most cases, the parish authorities have refused to receive the votes of the small occupiers, whose landlords paid the rates. In April last, in the case of "Richardson T. Gladwin and others," the Court of Queen's Bench decided that the votes were with the landlords, and not with the occupier. On Wednesday, however, Dr. Lushington decided that it was lawful to apply the Small Tenements Act to church-rates, seeing that they were not included in the statue, which em braced poor and highway rates only. This dictum will probably decide the fate of church-rates in hundreds of parishes, for the majority of the small occupiers are strongly opposed to the impost, and now their weight will be thrown into the scale of the abolition party. It is to be noted, too, that this decision is not that of a diocesan court, but governs the whole of the province of Canterbury, while it cannot be disturbed except by appeal to the Privy Council, which, it is certain, will not be resorted to in this case. Dr. Lushington said pointedly, that while he was most reluctant to dis turb a rate, it must not be alleged that law and Justice could not be obtained in church-rate cases in an ecclesiastical court. Churchwardens, there fore, who can succeed in getting only faulty rates, had better pause for reflection ere they invoke the power of the Court of Arches. MR. BRIGHT, M.P.—We understand that a com munication has been received from Mr. Bright to the effect that, as he is prohibited from over-exerting himself, he can not comply with the wishes of the committee in Edinburgh t 9 address a public meeting here before the Manchester Banquet on the 10th of December, but that he will again communicate with the committee as to whether he will be able to be present at a meeting in. Edinburgh after that date.—Edinburgh Express, . LIT RAT UR.E. The Master of the Hounds. By Scrutatator, author of " The Squire of Beechwood." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackctt. This is a very entertaining work, full of spirit, life, and en ergy. We meet with many scenes that are not often introduced into the pages of a novel ; but these, far from detracting from its merit, only add an additional zest to its style. There are several persons met with in the course of the story, and they are, for the most part, admirably portrayed. The hero, Will Beauchamp, is a fine manly cha racter—rather too stern and unbending, perhaps, to suit the taste of the generality, but he had not had much general intercourse with the world. His acquaintances, though numerous, were all of one class, and he was, therefore, too apt to consider particular prej u dices rather thangen eral impressions. However, a really noble nature must always possess an immense influence ; and when time and expe rience had softened the harshness and subdued the hauteur of his manner, there could be no doubt that, as the Master of the Hounds, all the neigh bourhood,' both rich and poor, would poisess an invaluable friend in Beauchamp. His father, the old squire, was not so clever as his son, but his kind heart and great benevolence of disposition, united with his hospitable habits, rendered him a general favourite: he was a fit representative of an old English gentleman. Lo r d Malcolm, the cousin of Blanche Douglas, the heroine, is also an agreeable portrait, although he is too hasty, and too much addicted to pleasantry and ridicule, which habit, although proceeding from mere love of fun, often occasions great confusion among those who are not always inclined to be made game of. The ladies of the story are rendered very ably in their several styles. Blanche Douglas is a sweet, gentle girl, unfitted by her life of seclusion to cope successfully with the world. In this point her guardians com mitted an error. If she was intended to shine in the dangerous sphere of fashionable life she should have been better prepared for the ordeal ; or if she was' only educated for retirement, she should have been left in its serene enjoyment. She did not enjoy any of the glittering scenes into which. she was forced, and the great admiration she excited only increased her annoyance. ' There were several misunderstandings between her and Will Beauchamp, on account of his jealous temper, and her ignorance of some of the customs of the new life she had entered upon. The most exciting Dassage of the story is that' of the escape of Miss ouglas froth - the snares of Lbrd Vaucourt. She was rescued from imminent peril to her future hap piness by the courage, dexterity, and devotion of Will Beauchamp. The subsequent confusion that ensued on all sides, from the unlooked-for diScovery 'of the daring outrage, forms an admirable opportu nity for the author to display his powers of narra tion and description. Many of the difficulties and dangers that beset Blanche could never have be fallen one endued with more self-possession and courage. Constance Beauchamp, for example, was endowed with too much spirit to submit to such treatment. It is, however, notorious that the most deserving in themselves may not be successful in life, merely for want of resolution. To many, Blanche Dcuglas will doubtless seem more interesting from 'her very helplessness to defend herself. Mr. and Mrs. Harcourt are very good specimens of two manoeuvring, selfish persons, who were intent solely on their own interest, and making their unfortu nate ward a sacrifice to their desire of worldly gain, in the shape of wealth, rank ' or influence. It was fortunate for the persecuted heroine that she pos sessed another guardian in Mrs. Gordon, who was ah e every ed adviser y dd w r a e v esuitedin trouble upon nb to l perform erand.l nafi herit he friend danncdh iesdifficult ever ve t es a r4 s . k thatf oundTh e change of scene from the rural sports to the town recreations imparts additional brilliancy to the narrative, and, often as such gaieties have been chronicled in novels, there seems something that engages attention in the present accounts :of the country friends in London.' Their sojourn there was neither long nor pleasant, and they returned to their native place in no way impressed with the grandeur or greatness of the metropolis. The Marquis of Ayrshire presents an instance of a selfish man led on from one step to another to retrieve his lost ground, till he at last finds himself placed in a most unenviable position. The dexterous manner in which Lord Henry Bayntum discovers the plot formed against Miss Douglas at the conclesion is most ingenious, and is another of the many stirring scenes and striking passages which render this work unusually attractive. " Bob Conyers" is a sketch that is life-like—there is something real in his enthusiasm for his cherished sports, his scorn of meanness and trickery, and his zeal in defend ing the cause of his friends. Selina Markham is rather a caricature—in some degree she redeems her recklessness of manner by her truthfulness and readiness to assist the oppressed.' Her brother conceals under a frivolous exterior much that is sterling and excellent. Among the numerous members of the circle who assembled at Bampton Htitise there is room for the display of the ruling passions that influence and excite men in all the several grades of society. There will be found atiluSement of varied kinds in this work, and the reader is not likely soon to forget its sparkling sketches, lively anecdotes, and brilliant style. Without laTing claim to belong to the higher range of fictions, this novel is eminently successful in its peculiar vocation. It is therefore likely to prove an agreeable addition to the general reader, both from its spirited delineations and the free dom and freshness that mark its tone. Post-offtce Directory of Cambridge, Norfolk, and Suffolk. Kelly and Co. We are glad to see the public approval of these valuable works of reference so decidedly expressed by the demand for a third edition of the Directory of the Eastern Counties. The proprietors, in ex pressing their thanks to the gentlemen who have given them assistance and information, tell us that every town and village has been actually visited by the collectors previous to the publication of this third edition. The residents in the metropolis, who are accustomed to the constant use of the London Directory, will readily appreciate the immense ad vantage which the introduction of such a volume affords to the inhabitants of the country.' They obtain, in addition to the practical infbrmation given, many interesting details of the ad vance and progress of the towns. For instance, Lowestoft, on the Norfolk coast, which a few years since was merely a dull fishing town, has now, a harbour, a public library, assembl7-rooms,* a me chanics' institute, and is rapidly rising into a cheer ful watering-place, as well as a thriving place of business. It will be still further bene fited by the East Suffolk Railway, which will connect it with the Eastern Counties line at Ipswich, and form a much nearer route to London than the tedious journey by Norwich. All such particulars are given about every locality men tioned, and the Directory consequently possesses some of the features of a guide book. It is a re markable proof of the wonders achieved by modern 'enterprise and perseverance,that a Londoner should now be able to discover the exact locality in which his friend resides, and the shortest route thither, the post hours, the hotel accommodation , and all necessary information, though that friend may reside in the most remote part of England, and he may know nothing more than his name. The clear and excellent maps prefixed to each county are likewise a great assistance to the tra veller, and a valuable addition to the general utility of the work. We trust the extended circulation and ready demand for these directories will induce the spirited and indefatigable proprietors to include the whole of the United Kingdom in their series. THE LATE DESECRATION OF THE DEAD AT ST. MARTIN'S CEMETERY. Yesterday, at a meeting of the representative vestry , of St. Pancras, held at the Court-house, Camden-town ; Mr. Churchwarden Attenborough in the chair.—Mr. Churchwarden Cameron announced that the subject of the recent desecra tion of the dead in St. M ar ti n ' s Cemetery had b een brought before the C ons i s t ory Court, a nd that e t e h n e faculty under whi c h th e S t. Martin's trustees had been removing tk e b o di es had becom e dead letter, and had been reca ll e d and re v o k e d ; and further, called upon the churchwardens of St. Martin's-in the-Fields to show cause . why a monition should not issue against them to re-inter with decency all remains of the dead w hi c h h ave b een di s i n te rred, and to refrain from disturbing any portions of the cemetery which have been used for interments. The question now stood for the authorities of St. Mar tin's to make such defence as they were able. (Hear, hear.) In justice to some of the vestrymen of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields; and more espeemilY Mr. Anderson Rose, the late sheriff, who expressed his dissent from the conduct of the trustees, it appeared that the St. Martin's people were not agreed amongst themselves, and he held in his hand the report of the speech of Mr. Soames in St. Martin's vestry, which stated that he (Mr. Soames) had repeatedly told Clay, the late sexton at St. Martin's burial ground, that burials had taken place in the ground long before his time all along in the front of Camden-street ; that Ackerman, his predecessor, used to dig a hole twelve feet by nine, in which the poor used to be put just with a little earth between each, and then it was filled up until it came within nearly three feet of the top. The poor were buried all alone from where the sewer ran down. Many of the coffins were made of old e q. chests, and had neither plates nor handles. This was the speech of a vestryman of St. Martin's, and not his (Mr. Cameron's), and therefore there was little doubt of the result.
