MEXICO. CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS PEOPLE. The following are extracts (at the present time, per haps, of peculiar interest) from Mr. John Macgregor's Parliamentary volume on the States of Mexico, which has just been issued by on'er of Parliament (having been presented to both Houses by command of her Majesty, just before the prorogation). The Spanish Mexicans are accused of great indolence of character, occasioned by the abundant means of subsistence acquired by little industry. .They are. from idleness, addicted to gambling, which is charged against them as a prevailing vice. Probably no two men differ from each other so widely in habits and cha aacters as the Anglo-Saxon Americans and the Spanish Americans. Mr. Mayer says—" The Mexicans are a proud and sensitive people ; yet, none are mere easily subdued by kindness, none more easily won by a ready disposition to mingle in their ranks, and treat them with a due re spect for their habitudes and their prejudices. "It seems impossible for them to get rid of the idea, that European Powers are seeking to obtain their wealth and territory, and to re-establish the systems from which they freed themselves by so many years of revolutionary war ; nor can they (since the Texan war) divest themselves of the erroneous notion, that the United States has ever a lunging eye on their capital and country. " There are but few entertainments given in Mexico. in comparison with those of other cities abroad,where a lavish expenditure in viands, lights, and amusements for the few, hours of a single evening are mistaken for the elegancies and refinements of genuine hospitality; instead, how ever, of these ostentatious displays, there are frequent re-unions at turtulias, where an hour or two are most agreeably spent. " I have already alluded to the extreme of fashionable life, and its disposition for the theatre; and I do not in tend to treat again of the pr o p ens ity o f th e u ltras to living thus constantly in the public eye, without devoting a portion of each day to that domestic intercourse and reunion which make the comfort and beauty of an Eng lish, or American fireside. I speak, however, of that juste milieu of society, wherein resides the virtue and in tellect of a country. " It was my good fortune to reside for more than half a year in a native family, once rich and titled, but broken in fortunes by the political and commercial vicissitudes of the republic, and it was there that I constantly witnessed the most beautiful evidences of filial devotion and pa rental love, amounting almost to passionate attachment. The lady at the head of the establishment, was a person who had been distinguished for her talents and accom plishments in the days when Mexico was adorned with the splendour of a Spanish court. She would have been considered highly cultivated in any country; her manners were excellent; her bearing graceful and courteous, and a wide circulation in her youth among distinguished men (both before and during the revolution), and a ready talent for imparting her recollections, made ber conversation delightful and instructive. Besides this, the possessed a genius for miniature painting and sketch ing in crayons, rarely attained by a female, and worthy of a distinguished artist. Qualities like these, brought around her constantly a large and intelligent circle of both sexes. The change of fortune had by no means diminished her estimation in society, and the numbers of fast friends who adhered to her in her comparative indi gence, proved their admiration of her talent, and the constancy of attachment, by the repetition of the most delicate and disinterested assiduities. " It was in this Mexican home, and not from the un sympathising distance of the .hotel and ball-room (the scene of most travellers' observation), that I obtained my insight in'o the structure of Mexican society and character. Had I kept myself aloof in my own house, or my own inn, as is the habit of foreigners, I should have judged from the theatre, the passe, the bull ring, the cock pit, and the gaming table, that the women were but so many painted dolls, without more education or soul than was required to languish over a love sick play, or to ogle, with idl e gaze , a f avoure d cava li er . I might have supposed, too, that the men were su premely blessed by this dalliance with the sex, and con sidered themselves in perfect elysium when they could divide their attention between their sirens, their horses, and the card table—but in the privacy of this dwelling, I learned to estimate the lore and regard between parents and children ; the beautiful benevolence of ancient friendship ; the universal respect for genius ; and, besides, had frequent occasion to notice the expand ing spirit, ardent patriotism, desire of cultivation, and quick talent, which embellish the Mexican character, "There are in Mexico, as in all other countries, specimens of egotism, selfishness, haughtiness, ill breeding, and loose morals, both among the men and the women ; but, although we find these floating, like bubbles, on the top of society, they must not, therefore, be considered the characteristics of the country. A nation in which ' revolutions and counter revolutions are events of almost daily occurrence, is naturally prolific in desperate and crafty political ad ♦enturers,' and dissimulation and stratagem may, in time, form the chief element of the character of such a people ; yet such, it is hoped, is not to be the corrupting fate of Mexico. " The idea that large social entertainments require great magnificence and lavish expense, deprives the Mexicans, in their towns, of many of those agreeable gatherings which fill up su pleasantly our winter nights and autumn evenings, but it is on their haciendas or plantations that their hospitality is most distinguished. Nothing is withheld from you ; their establishments are placed at your entire control, and the welcome is as sin cere as it is hearty and cheerful. " That they are brave none will doubt who read the history of their War of Independence, although the bad discipline (especially of their officers) has prevented the very eminent exhibition of this quality in their foreign battles. In fact, regard them in any way, and they will be found to possess the elements of a fine people who want but peace and the stimulus of foreign emulation to bring them forward among the nations of the earth with great distinction. " Their geographical position, however, is very unfa vourable for this emulative stimulus. They are placed among the mountains, on an isthmus connecting two large continents, while their territory is washed by two seas. They are cut off by a large belt of savage country from us at the north, and the communication with Europe is both distant and uncertain. They have a small popu lation, spread over an immense territory, and want, therefore, both the constant comparison of the intellect of other nations, and social compacting or aggregation among themselves." The following is a horrible picture of crime and cri minals in Mexico:— " CRl3lE.—Passing westward, towards the Passeo Nuevo from the Alameda, you cross the scpare in front of the Accordada, the common prison of the capital. In the front of one of its wings a low barred window is constantly open, and within, on an inclined plane, are laid the dead bodi e s fo u nd ily within the limits of the city. It is almost impossible to take your morning walk to the adjoining fields, without seeing one, and fre quently two corpses, stretched bleeding on the stones. These are the victims of some sudden quarrel, or un known murder during the night ; and all who miss a friend, a parent, or a brother, resort to these iron bars ti seek the lost one. It is painful to behold the scenes to which this melancholy assemblage frequently give rise, and hear the wails of sorrow that break from the homeless orphan, whose parent lies murdered on the stones of the dead house. " Yet this is scarcely more shocking than the scenes presented by the living within the walls of the loathsome prison. A strong guard of rui.itary is stationed at the gate, and you enter, after due permission from the com manding officer. A gloomy stair leads to the second story, the entrance to which is guarded by a portal mas sive enough to resist the assault of a powerful force. Within, a lofty apartment is filled with the officers of the prison and a crowd of subalterns, engaged in writing, talking, and walking—amid the hum of the crowd, the clank of chains, the shouts of prisoners, and the eternal din of an ill-regulated establishment. " Passing through several iron and wood barred gates, you enter a lofty corridor, running round a quadrangular courtyard, in the centre of which, beneath, is a fountain of troubled water. The whole of this area is filled with human beings—the great congress of Mi xican crime— mixed and mingled, like a hill of busy ants swarming from their sandy caverns. Some are stripped and bath ing in the fountain; some are fighting in a corner; some making baskets in another. In one plaee a crowd is gathered around a witty story-teller, relating the adven tures of his rascally life. In another, a group is engaged in weaving with a h an d-l oom . R o bb ers , mur d erers , thieves, ravishers, felons of every description, and vaga bonds of every aspect, are crammed within this court yard; and, almost free from discipline or moral restraint, form perhaps the most splendid school of misdemeanour and villany on the American continent. " Below, within the corridor of the second story—from which I have described the view of this wretched mass of humanity—a rather better sort of criminals are kept ; and yet, even here, many were pointed out to me as being under sentence of death, who still went about en tirely without restraint. " In one corner of the quadrangle is the chapel, where convicts for capital offences are condemned to solitude and penance, during the last three days of their mise rable life ; and, at a certain hour, it is usual for all the prisoners to gather in front of the door, and chant a hymn for the victim of the laws. It is a solemn service of crime for crime. " I did not see the prison for women, but I am told it is much th e same as th e one I have just dedescribed.About one hund r ed o f th e me n, chained in pairs like galley-slaves, are driven daily into the streets, under a strong guard, as scavengers • and it seems to be the chief idea of the utility of prisons in Mexico, to support this class of coerced labourers. " There can be no apology, at this period of general enlightment in the world for such disgraceful exhibi tions of the congregated vice of a country. Punishment, or rather incarceration, and labour on the streets, m the manner I have described, is, in fact, no sacrifice—both because public exhibition deadens the felor's shame, and because it cannot become an actual punishment under any circumstances of lepero's life. Indeed, what object in existence can the lepero propose to himself ? His day is one of precarious labour and income—he thieves —he has no regular home, or if he has it is some mise rable hovel of earth and mud, where his wife and chil dren crawl about with scarce the instinct of beavers. His food and clothing are scant and miserable. He is with out education, or prospect of improvement. He belongs to a class that does not rise. lie dulls his sense of pre sent misery by intoxicating drinks. His quick temper stimulates him to quarrel. His sleep is heavy and un refreshing, and he only rises to a day of similar uncer tainty and wickedness. What, then, is the value of life to him, or to one like shim ? Why toil ? Why not steal ? What shame has he ? Is the prison, with certainty of food, more punishment than the free air, with uncer tainty- ? On the contrary, it is a lighter pnnishineut ; and as for the degradation, he knows not how to esti raate Mexico will thus continue to be infested with felons, as long as its prison is a house of refuge, and a com paratively happy home to so large a portion of its out cast population. " I have collected some statistical information on these subjects, which I think will be interesting in connexion with Mexican prisons, and prove how necessary it is, in the first place, to alter their whole system of coercive discipline ; and, in the second, to, strike immediately at the root of the evil, by improving ti e condition of the people, by educating and proposing advantages to them, in the cultivation of the extensive tracts of country that now lie barren over their immense terri tory. 4 Without specifying each of the several crimes for which these persons were committed to prison, or being able, from all the accounts furnished me, to state the ex act number of those who were finally convicted, I will present some lists of the numbers imprisoned for the crimes during the whole year:— " The total number of prisoners of both sexes for 1842 was 6,055 men and 2,806 women, which, added together, give the frightful amount of 8,934 males and females, for the higher crimes and misdemeanors—leav ing a balance of 1,927 only to be divided among the lesser. It should be stated, in addition to the above, that numbers were committed for throwing vitriol on the clothes and faces of persons passing along the street; that 113 dead bodies were found; 17 individuals exe outed, and 894 sent to the hospital. " The sum of 4,121 dollars is expended in salaries of officers for this institution, and 30,232 dollars for the support of the prisoners." ' "As an evidence of the little value these leperos place upon their liveA, an old resident in Mexico told me that he had once been the witness of a street-fight between two wo men, which resulted in the use of knives, and the ripping of one's belly, so that her bowels were exposed. The wound was not fatal, and as soon as she had slightly recovered from the loss of blond, while the attendants were preparing a litter, she drew forth a cigarrito from her bosom, obtained a light from a bystander, and was borne off to the hospital smoking as contentedly as if preparing fora siesta!" GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. A meeting of the shareholders in this Company was called for 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the committee appointed by holders of more than 10,000 shares. The advertisement stated that this committee so appointed addressed a letter to the Chairman of the Company, re questing to be allowed to examine the books and ac counts ; the answer which t'iey received was far from satisfactory, and therefore iluy thought it advisable to call the shareholders together, in order to take into con sideration the measures which ought to be adopted for the protection of the interests of the shareholders. At the appointed hour several shareholders were present. Mr. Manbert occupied the chair. Mr. SPACLMANN read a copy of the letter which. at the request of the committee, he addressed to H. G. Ward, Esq., M.P., the chairman of the Com pany, expressing the wish of the committee to inspect the books and accounts of the Company. It further stated that they had addressed a similar letter to all the mem bers of the provisional committee, but that they had only received a reply from one ; it also intimated that he had never sanctioned the use of his name in connexion with the undertakin g . The reply of Mr. Ward simply inti ma t e d that he had made an offer to Mr. Manbert, which he con-'I sidered would have led to the co operation of the dis sentient with the satisfied shareholders, but that he (Mr. Manbert) had rejected his offer. The CHAIRMAN explained, that Mr. Ward offered to allow him to examine the books and accounts, on condi tion that he did not make use of the results. Such an offer was perfectly absurd, and he replied, with considerable warmth, that he should make use of such an examination in favour of the shareholders. and, if deserving, against the directors. On Monday last he addressed a letter to Mr. Ward, offering to give up all further claims on the Company on receiving 15s. per share, and being allowed, with the assistance of an accountant, to inspect all the books and accounts of the Corn. pany, and to make a report to the shareholders. Up to the present time he had received no answer. Mr. Slaughter, of the Stock Exchange, who kept a copy of the letter, had received a note on the subject, but he (the Chairman) was not at liberty to mention the purport of it. Some verbal alterations had been made in the printed forms issued by the Company, to be filled up by parties wishing for a return of fifteen shillings per share, but he understood from Mr. Valiance that this was immaterial, as any one taking the 15s. per share forfeited all legal claim to any further sum, except what the directors might think proper to give. Ho reminded them that the prospectus stated that no more than 10s. per share would be expended until a meeting of the shareholders was called and they sanctioned a further expenditure. 103. per share would amount to 35,0004 which he considered was a sufficient sum for preliminary expenses. Then only 40,000 shares, out of the 70,000, were issued ; thus, those holding the 40,000 shares would have to bear the ex penses which ought to have been spread amongst 70,000. They ought not to submit to have 11. 15s. per share de ducted. They ought not to submit quietly, and ought to make every exertion in their power to put a stop to such proceedings. If they were tolerated, confidence between man and man would be destroyed. A series of resolutions were then submitted to the meeting, and carried, pledging the meeting not to submit to a deduction of 11. 15s. per share, unless it should be shown that the money had been properly expended, espe cially as 10s. per share was only promised to be expended, and as every application to inspect the books of the Company had been heretofore refused; and appointing a com mittee to take on behalf of the shareholders any mea sures they might think proper to obtain a return of the deposits, and to bring the matter under the attention of the House of Commons, and the shareholders invited to pay 2s. per share to defray the necessary expenses. After a few words from Mr. CoHEN and Mr. SPACK MANN, a vete of thanks was awarded to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. INQUEST ON THE LATE MP. VALENTINE LEE. The melancholy circumstances attending the sudden and premature death of Mr. Lee, the well-known and eminent barrister on the Oxford Circuit, were briefly detailed in The Sun last week. An inquest on the body has since been held at the Peacock Inn, Boraston, bef ,re 'Thomas Weyman, Esq., Coroner, when the circum stances of Mr. Lee's sudden decease were more fully ex plained, and present features of a very singular cha racter. As before stated, the deceased had been out shooting after a hearty dinner, and it appears had just shot a partridge, which one of his dogs rushed upon when killed. On this Mr. Lee called out vehemently to the dog, and at that moment .something appeared to give way at his heart, and he immediately became sick and faint. With considerable difficulty he contrived to crawl to'the road side, where he was first observed by Mr. W. Goode, farmer, of Boraston, who was passing by on horseback. Mr. Goode was examined on the inquest, and deposed to finding the deceased sitting by the side of the road with his hands down on each side, apparently supporting him. Witness asked him what was the matter ; to which he replied that he could 'not stand. Witness offered him the use of his horse, but Mr. Lee could not mount from weakness, and accordingly witness fetched his (Mr. Lee's) servant, who soon arrived with a horse. Ou being lifted on the horse, however, the deceased could riot maintain his seat, and accordingly a message was sent to Mr. Lee's house for his carriage, which promptly arrived, bringing Mrs. Lee. The Rev. H. M. M-Laughlin arrived on the spot about the same time, and acc , rmpanied the deceased and Mrs. Lee home in the carriage. Mr. Davis, surgeon, of Tenbury, arrived shortly after their arrival home. Mr. Davis deposed that he found the deceased in a state of collapse, but perfectly sensible. lle was ex tremely faint, and was only kept alive by the c.nstitit application of stimulants. He was put to bed, and in about half an hour was very sick, and vomited the con tents of his stomach, which contained his dinner in an undigested state. There was nothing deleterious in the contents of the stomach, the deceased had had two similar attacks on former occasions, and had frequently complained of pain in the region of the heart, though not very recently. The deceased was extremely coil, notwithstanding the free use of friction and the appli cation of stimulants. Dr. Hastings, of Worcester, was sent for, and arrived at Boraston about one o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Davis left the patient apparently rather better. Witness returned to him at half-past three, when he found him more feeble, and although stimulants were again had recourse to he gradually grew weaker, and died about nine, some 18 hours after his seizure. Dr. Hastings and Mr. Davis were both in attendance at the time of his death. They did not think there was any rupture at the region of the heart, but were firmly of opinion that death had resulted from natural causes. The precise cause of death could not be ascertained without opening the body, and this step the jury did not think necessary. Accordingly they returned a verdict that the deceased had died a natural death. THE SUN, ...ONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTODER 20 5 1948. SHOCKIN G MANSLAUGHTER. It is with the utmost regret that we have to record the occurrence of another death from that brutal and sanguinary mode of fighting for which this county is so notorious, in the case of a young labourer, named John Ro d le, residi ng a t S tret f or d , who expired at the Royal Infirmary on Saturday last, from the dreadful injuries inflicted on him by kicking, or " purring." The case is rendered more deplorable from the fact of its having originated in " a lark," and the appa rent probability that no such fearful' result was con templated. On Monday, Mr. Chapman, the borough coroner, held an inquest on the body, when the follow ing was the account elicited from those present at the time of the fatal occurrence:—Decaased, Dennis Lowe, Heaton Brown, and other farm servants of Mr. Tho mas Warburton, farmer, of Stretford, were getting po tatoes in a field, about half-past five o'clock on Monday evening, the sth instant, when they began to throw po tates at eabh other in play, and one of them hit de ceased. Deceased became very angry, and gathering up a large piece of soil, said, " The next person that throws at me I'll throw this at him, choose who it is." He had no sooner resumed his work than he was again hit with a potato, when, suspecting Brown had thrown it, deceased aimed a piece of soil at him. Brown then threw at deceased, who slipped and fell down over the soil, when enraged at having missed his aim, Brown ran at him, and kicked him as he lay. The kick, a most terrific one, was inflicted on the most tender part of his body, Brown swearing at the time he would punch his b— eyes out." Deceased then got up, and said to Brown, " Thou hast done for me," in forming him at the same time he felt blood running from his bAly. This Brown denied, and offered to bet a shilling it was not so, but deceased replipd that was no proper place, and he would show him when they got home. Deceased then resumed work, and continued at it a few moments, when having-off time (6 o'clock) ar rived, and the parties went home. A surgeon was sent for, but deceased continuing to get worse, was next day conveyed to the Infirmary. Here he continued to got worse, mortification ensuing, and on Saturday he died in a most dreadful state of suffering. Brown wore a strong par of excavator's Loots, with cscel tips on the toes, and is described by the witnesses having taken a furious running kick at his victim. Since the fatal occurrenc-, Brown has been unceasing in his attention to the de ceased, and has manifestecideep regret at the fatal con sequence. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaugh ter" against him, and he has since been brought before Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey, and committed to the assizes.—Manchester Examiner. BRISTOL CONSISTORY COURT JONES V. JONES. This long-talked of suit for divorce, on the ground of adultery, occupied the Court during the whole of Thurs day and Friday. The promoter, Mr. Edward Jones, an extensive to bacco manufacturer, of Bristol, prayed a decree of divorce a mensa et thoro from Elizabeth Jones, his wife, by reason of her having committed adultery. The wife, by her responsive allegations, charged adultery and cruelty on the part of the husband. For the promoter a great number of witnesses had been examined, with a view to prove that Mrs. Jones had committed adultery with a gentleman named Ward, another named Lansdowne, and with several others whose names to the husband were unknown. The par ties had been married since 1829, and had had eight children, of whom four survive. Their private dwelling house was in College-green, and Mr. Jones was neces sarily from home a great deal in the conduct of his buil ness; and it was charged that Mrs. Jones took advan tage of his absence to dishonour him. The witnesses were mostly persons who had lived in the service of the parties. and they deposed to having seen Mrs. Jones and Mr. Ward lying on the sofa together upon different occasions, to Mrs. Jones having been seen on his bed, to their repeatedly kissing each other, and to the lady having more than once said that she loved Mr. Ward's little finger better than her husband's whole person, that he ought to have been her husband, and that she wished her husband might be brought home dead, as Ward would then marry her. In regard to Mr. Lansdowne, it was sworn that he and Mrs. Jones had been in the parlour together with the door locked, and that she had been seen in an indecent position before him. On the more general allegations of adultery the evidence was, that various gentlemen were in the habit of calling in Mr. Jones's absence ; that they were asked into the parlour with his wife, when the door was often locked, the servants being charged by Mrs. Jones not to come near it while any one was there ; that, upon their leaving, Mrs. Jones's dress was ob served to be disordered ; that she was in the habit cf sending round letters to gentlemen in her husband's ab sence, and that the gentlemen then called ; and that upon one cccasion she was followed to a house of bad character with a gentleman. One witness, a girl named Wade, in a supplementary examination filed after the suit had pro ceeded some way, deposed to having witnessed a distinct act of adultery with Mr. Ward; but this statement was at variance with her former one, in which, although stating circumstances from which adult er y m i g ht b e in ferred, she declared that she had never seen any crimi nality between the parties. Mr. Stone, for the wife, insisted that the witnesses against her were unworthy of credit, and that, suppos ing their statements to be true, it was impossible to come to a belief that the husband was not cognizant of her pro ceedings. For the defence, witnesses were also examined to speak to an act of adultery by the husband with a girl named Smith, and to indelicate conduct to others. The evidence in support of the allegation of cruelty was very contradictory, some witnesses declaring Mr. Jones to have been kind and indulgent to a fault, while others stated that they had seen him beat his wife se verely with his fists, and even with a poker, and that on an average (according to one witness) he used to fight with her twice a week. The Learned CHANCELLOR (Dr. Phillimore) took time to consider his judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Joseph Chambers was brought before Alderman Fare brother, charged with having committed a robbery in the house of Mr. Isaacs, merchant, in whose service he was engaged as errand boy. Mrs. Barrow, sister-in-law to Mr. Isaacs, in whose house she resided, stated, that she had left her gold watch, gild chain, and two gold rings, which were worth 13/. or 20/., upon the first-floor. The prisoner went out on Tuesday, and did not return, and after his departure the property was missed. The witness met the prisoner on Saturday evening near the Surrey Theatre, and placed him in the custody of a policeman. Without receiving any promise of pardon, the lad acknowledged the mo ment he saw the witness that he had robbed her, and he said he had pledged the goods at the shops of different pawnbrokers. The policeman complained to the Alderman that he had found amongst some of the pawnbrokers disinclina tion to give him the usual facilities. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday, and Alderman FA.REBROTHER directed that the pawnbrokers complained against for incivility should be denied the usual expenses paid after trial. Emma Neal, a person who was recognised by the police as an old rogue in the habit of watching and rob bing children sent after errands, was accused of having stolen a saucer and three-pence halfpenny from three very young children. The prisoner was seen by a person, who suspected her honesty, to follow the children, who were going to pur chase butter. She went up to one of them—a boy about four years and a half old—and, giving him a halfpenny, took from him the saucer and halfpence, telling him to go on, and she would follow him with the butter. The child ran on exulting, and witness observing that the prisoner passed the butter shop and was getting away, topic her into custody. The prisoner declared that she had no dishonest inten tion, but that, thinking such young persons ought not to entrusted with money, she was acting the part of a mother to them in taking care of the money, with which she was about to purchase the butter, but, by the merest accident, she passe(' the shop. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Prisoner, you are an old hand at robbing children. The prisoner never thought of so mean and vile a hing. " What, me rob a mere baby?—not a bit of it." Alderman FAREBROTHER—I'II make you sick of . Yon must go to Bridewell for three months. Patrick Leary, a young fellow who came over from Ireland in the hopping season, was charged with having broken two windows in the house of Mr. Jopp, the re lieving officer of the City union. Mr. Lloyd, assistant relieving officer, stated that, about two o'clock on Saturday last, the defendant ap plied for relief, and witness requested that he would' wait his turn. While witness was writing down his name he went out and deliberately broke two panes of glass with a stone. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Prisoner, why did you break the window, when the offic e r was com pl y i ng w i t h your request ? Leary—Why, I was in a hurry to get back to my own country, and they didn't seem to care a pin about it, and I thought the best way to talk to him was with a paving-stone in my hand. I want to go off to Ireland at once. Alderman FAREI3ROTHER said the union had no longer the power to grant passes. That authority lay with the parishes, and as the Irish who came over to hop were in the habit of sending back their profits, and then return ing upon charity, the parish officers thotight it necessary to exercise caution. The fine upon the prisoner was four shillings. The prisoner -4 have no money to give away. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Tnen you must go to Bridewell for fourteen days, and that judgment includes scanty allowance of food. CL ERK EN W E L L. Mr. James Slack, Haekney•terrace, and Mr. Thomas Davis were charged by William Gulliver, toll-collector, at Mil's- pond gate, Islington, with having violently as saulted him whilst in the execution of his duty, under the following circumstances : Complainant deposed that on Sunday evening, at twenty minutes past eight o'clock, the defendants and two other gentlemen drove up to the toll gate, Ball's- pond, in a tour-wheeled chaise, with a pony, which Mr. Slack was driving. Witness asked him for the payment of the toll. Mr. Slack said it was paid. Witness said " You must show the ticket before you can pass," and not producing it, he laid hold of the reins of the pony, when Mr. Slack whipped the pony, and then commenced horsewhipping witness violently, whilst he !lilt retained his hold of the reins. They drove furiously on for about fifty yards. Witness pursued them, and the pony was stopped by a neighbour, who remonstrated with the defendants Witness requested Mr. Slack to give his card of address, but he said he had not got one, and Mr. Davis then offered a card with his (Mr. Davis's) name upon it, but no address was upon it. Witness refused it, and insisted on having Mr. Slack's name and address. Mr. Slack again whipped on the pony, and Mr. Davis struck him repeatedly with his umbrella, and he (witness) was obliged to defend himself as well as he could until a policeman came up, and the defendants were given into custody. One of the gentlemen at the back of the chaise also assaulted witness, when his hat fell off. He made off, leaving his hat behind him. Mr. Levy, the lessee of the toll, who attended for the complainant, said he had been a toll-collector for 23 years, and was a well-conducted man. Mr. Slack, in his defence, said he admitted having horsewhipped the complainant, who seized the reins of the pony, and backed them near the kerb-stone, by which he felt his life and the lives of his friends to have been in danger . They had paid the toll, an d M r . D av i s h ad the ticet, and was not allowed time to produce it. The complainant became very violent, and struck Mr Davis. Mr. James Cardin°, North-place, Ball's-pond, and sereral other respectable witnesses, corroborated the testimony of complainant. Mr. liavis said that he had possession of the ticket, which he put into his hat with some others, and having on his great-coat, and heing muffled up in a shawl, he was some time before he could produce the ticket. The conduct of complainant was violent, insolent, and over hearing. Ire seized and struck at him, when he certainly did strike him with his umbrella in his own defence. Mr. COMBE inquired whether they had any witnesses? Mr. Slack replied that they had the two gentlemen who were with them, but Mr. Holstock, one of them, had important business that day at Putney, and could not attend. Complainant said this was the gentleman that struck him and left his hat behind. Mr. William Holland, of Devonshire-street, Queen square, who said he was a merchant's clerk, deAsed that he was sitting at the back of the chaise Ph. llolstock. They lost their way, and were considering the best direction to take when complainant asked for the toll. Mr. Slack said "It is all right," and the former insisted on seeing the ticket, lie seized the reins and forced them back, to the danger of their lives, when Mr. Slack whipped the pony. Mr. CO3IBE ~said it was a bad case, and he doubted whether the extreme penalty of ‘'AL would be a:!equate punishment to inflict on the clerk ndants. The complain put had held the situation of toll-collector 23 years, and *hewed that he was respectable. He applied to them for their ticket, which they did*not show hire, hut drove on, and then Mr. Slack began to lash him with his whip. If he sent the case to the sessions to be tried, they might be punished with fine and imprisonment. Two more gross assaults could not be committed. Their own wit ness confirmed the evidence against them. It re mained with Mr. Levy to carry the ease to the sessions or not. Mr. Levy —I will leave it to your Worship. Mr. COMBE—I say again, I doubt whether 5/. fur each assault is sufficient punishment. Mr. Mallett—The Turnpike Act goes farther, it em powers 101. penalty. Mr. COMBE—Then I fine them 101. each. The money was instantly paid, and defendants left the court. Mr. COMBE then said the collector had behaved very well, and he ordered him 503. out of each fine. The clerk handed him over five sovereigns. MARYLEBONE. George Pilhington was placed at the bar charged by Mr. Calling, of the Champion, Earl-street, Lisson-grove, from whose evidence it appeared that on Saturday night last, the prisoner came into the house with his face black ened and his hair powdered. He created a great dis turbance, as he had done upon previous occasions—and on his being ejected, he used language of a grossly abusive nature towards the landlord, over whose head he flourished a stick.—Fined 10s. During the last six or eight months the tradesmen in the metropolis have suffered ,to a very considerable ex tent by the passing of counterfeit coin of various deno minations, and so well have the pieces been executed that the great( st difficulty has been experienced in de tecting the imposition. It will be remembered that, in the month of June last an extensive seizure of spurious money was made by Inspector Penny and Sergeant Brennan of the G division, at a house in Duck-lane, Westminster, where the said coin had evidently been manufactured, and it was ascertained beyond all doubt, that a man, named Anderson, had been the occupant of the room is which the discovery of his nefarious prac tices was made—moulds, &e., were taken from the pre mises, and every effort Was made to secure the delin quent, who, upon obtaining information of the " scent" which the police had gained, Hastily decamped, and long has eluded pursuit. Yesterday, Inspector Penny and Sergeant Brennan brought up William Anderson, the man alluded to, and a female, who gave her name, Eliza Wright, both of them charged with being concerned in coining. Inspector Penny said—On Saturday night last, in consequence of intormation which I received, I and Ser geant Brennan went to a house in E4d ware-road, where we found Anderson and another man. I told Anderson he must consider himself in custody for coining half crowns, shillings, and sixpences, in Westminster. I and Brennan took him out by force, and, putting him in a cab, conveyed him to the Paddington station-house. He had on him genuine coin, to the amount of ls. Bd., in silver and copper, and a latch-key. He was locked up, and I and Brennan went to 60, Devonshire -street, Lisson grove, when I undid the street-door with the latch-key in question. I spoke to the landlady, to whom I de scribed the man, and she told me that a person answering his description lodged with a female, whom she under stood to be his w►fe, in a back room on the second floor. I went up, and finding the door locked forced it open, and in a box found a galvanic battery, by means of which they gave the silvery appearance to coin. On a table was a jar, containing spirits, and in a dish was a quantity of plaster of paris. I and the sergeant also found a quantity of copper wire, and a variety of other imple ments used in the process of coining. While the search was going on the female prisoner suddenly entered the room, when Brennan immediately laid hold of her. She resisted much, and endeavoured to put her hand into her bosom, with the view, as I imagined, of drawing something out ; I then put my hand in the upper part of her dress, before she had time to effect her object, and drew therefrom two papers, containing 23 counter feit fourpmny-pieces. She was violent, and cried out " murder' several times. She was ultimately conveyed to the station, and locked up. Witness added that in a closet in the back yard, to which the female prisoner was in the habit of going upon almost every occa>ion previous to her leaving the house, he found concealed from view a bag, containing two double and two single moulds, and two spurious half-crowns. Numerous packages, in which were all the materials required for carrying on the process of coining, were pro duced by Mr. Penny and other officers, and the pri soners were remanded till Friday. WANDS WORTH. _ George Roberts, a fashionably ii;;Q young man, who had refused to state his address or occupation, was brought before Mr. Clive for final examination, upon a charge of attempting to pick' pockets on the platform of the South-Western Railway terminus, at Nine Elms. It appeared at the first examination, from the state ments of Henry Jordan and Samuel Norwood, parties in the service of the above-mentioned railway company, that on Saturday afternoon they observed the prisoner, who was previously known to them, get into a second class carriage of the one o'clock Gosport down train, and return by another Gosport train which reaches Nine Elms about half-past four. Immediately upon alight , ing from the carriage, he commenced sounding the pockets of several gentlemen. He afterwards went up to a holy, and placed his hand under her shawl. The prisoner was then secured, but the lady had not lost any th►ng. Upon the prisoner being taken into custody, five sovereigns were found upon him. It was proved by police-constable Bent, 95 V, that the prisoner frequented houses of bad repute. The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Roberts, was remanded that inquiries might be made respecting him. To-day, upon his being placed in the dock, several constables of the M, 13, L, and V divisions, spoke as to the prisoner being a well-known associate of thieves, although they could not prove that he had been convicted. Mr. Roberts endeavoured to sho w th a t th e p r i soner was a respectable arntnn young m an , an d o b ta i ned an ex cellent atal paint er . H e ca ll e d , as a very liv inga , n o witness, a man named Murphy. This witness gave the prisoner the best of characters. Mr. CLIVE said he should commit the prisoner for the extreme term of imprisonment, which was three months, with hard labour in the House of Correction. The money fofoundupon the p r i soner was g i ven up to the prisoner's wife. THAMES. Mr. Charles Gray , Albert - street, Mill- wa ll, P o pl ar , engineer, was charged with assaulting G i • orge an d S ara h Ward,eet who keep a glass and chin a warehouse, F ore- Limehouse. It appeared from the evidence that the p r i soner an d two other men were annoying the prop r i e t ors o f seve ral earthenware warehouses in Fore -st ree t, w h ere a s tr very busy and general market is held daily, by ask ing the price of certain utensils which they described. After leaving the shop of Mr. Tabraham, where they made a disturbance, and struck him because he expostulated with them on their behaviour, they pro ceeded to the warehouse of Mr. Ward, and used very abusive language to his wife and insulted her. Mr. Ward told them to go on, and refused to serve them, on w hi c h th e prisoner challenged him out to fight. The shopkeeper declined entering into a personal conflict, and the prisoner reiterated his demand in the same terms as he had done before. After making a considerable dis turbance, and interrupting the complainant's business, which to him was a matter of importance on a Saturday night, his companions took him away. The prisoner returned a few minutes afterwards, and told' the com plainant he would serve him out. He then made an at tempt to kick Mr. Ward, and struck him on the fore head. He followed up the blow by striking the com plainant with great severity on the chest and face. A policeman named Blyth, No. 303 K, was called, who took the prisoner into custody. All the witnesses de scribed the prisoner's behaviour as most indec, , nt and divmleily. The policeman had much trouble with him, and took him off Mr. Ward, on being called to his as sistance. At the request of the prosecutor, who said he wished the ease to be disposed of summarily, and that it would be a great loss to him if it was sent to the sessions, Mr. BRODERJP said he would adjudicate upon the case, but justice required him to pass the most severe sentence the law empowered him to inflict. The defen dant's conduct had been most disgraceful and violent, and he sentenced him to pay a fine of 51., or be impri soned for two months. HORN FAIR. -- This scene of popular amusement was held yesterday, according to ancient custom, in the healthful and plea sant village of Charlton. In former times it was gene rally distinguished by riot and obscenity. Some of the worst class in London made parties to carry out the vulgar joke of f.ornuted husbands and wives. Horn Fair (the common name) is now changed to Charlton Fair, and th e visitors, more enlightened than their Ml cestcrs, seldom indulge in those disorderly tranactions which bore the stigma of indecency. It was formerly a mart for various sorts of utensils made of horn, and tra dition ascribes the origin to King John. An amour car ried on by that licentious and infamous Prince with the wife of an honest miller was the foundation of the fair. John, surprised by the enraged husband, would have perished under the uplifted dirk of the miller, had he not saved his life by promising to redress tho inju r y . The compensation was a grant of all the land the miller cou l d see westwar d from the top of his mill. A greeable to the royal donation, a fair w as t o b e held annually, on St. L u ke's-day, for ever. Su c h i s the oral account o f t h e f a ir from year to year, and th ere i s, we believe, a t the present day, an aquatic c us t om at Cuckold's-point, where it is said the mill stood, w hi c h b ears out the stor y. The waterman, as he pas ses t h e stairs, or landing - P l ace , f re quently tells his fare that a sp i der is crawling on hi s hat. The per son naturally t a k es it off his head, and the n Old Charon, with a lau g h, requests he will put it on again, having properly p a id hi s respects to the ll orns at Cuckold's Point. Th e f a i r is proclaimed at th e noble mansion now in the Occupation of Sir T. M. Wilson. This beau tiful building was erected by Sir Adam Newton, Lord of the Manor, and preceptor to Henry Prince of Wales, son of James I. It forms, with the curious ch urch at Charl ton, two of th e most - striking features in that quiet and picturesque village. Every prep ara tion was made at the Bugle Horn, and other respectable inns, to accommodate company. The vehicles from town were numerous, and arranged in fi the parties found in the bustle and good cheer around them all they could desire. Most of the houses were adorned, as usual, with the flowers of the season—dahlias which haverecently f allen admiral]. Toys, and articles for the juveniles, were sold in the inclosure in which the fair is held. The heavy gums gave a floral effect which the visitors rains the sports of the visitors. proved a check upon IRELAND. DUIII./N, OCT. 17.—The following gratifying state ment is embodied in the Cork Examiner's weekly re view of the corn trade, a document which appears to be drawn up by a person conversant with the subjcct upon which he treats : " The injury done to the potato crtp is an evil of the first magnitude, but an evil which, we new believe, has been somewhat overrated. That the plant has not been totally destroyed, as many have imagined, is, from recent investigation, becoming manifest. A portion o f it, there is no doubt, will be found fit for consumption. The quantity remaining sound will be about one-third of a crop, or may even exceed that amount. Still the loss is very great, and, as this loss must be supplied by grain of some description, it follows that a large amount of corn will be required to make up the deficiency. As respects this country, we believe, and our opinion is founded on an inspection of the export returns, that a sufficient quantity of grain to supply the wants of our people is grown in the island—that is, provided ncne were sent out of it. This admitted, we shall have the necessities of the sister country only to provide for. Those necessities will be large, but not so large as that they cannot be met. "It is true consumption is going on, or perhaps, more properly speaking, has been going on at a most rapid rate. Employment has been general, wages have been good, and while this is the case the E ng li s h artisan will never pinch his stomach. But with a continuance of high prices it is more than probable we shall have by and bye a depression in trade; employment will not be so general; lower wages will perhaps have to be sub mitted to; the labouring population, unable to purchase so largely, will begin to economise, and prices, as a necessary consequence, must decline. All this of course on the assumption that we are not likely to experience actual want. If we add to these disposing causes a tightness in the money market (and we see every reason to apprehend it) we shall have abundant arguments against the advance of prices to a famine figure. " But, it will be said, whence are we to receive the necessary supplies, seeing that we have France and Belgium competing with us in those markets to:which we generally look for aid? We answer, English gold and the enterprise of English merchants will ever command the markets referred to, and will therefore ensure supplies to the extent of their producing ability. As regards one market especially, America, while we place little faith in the exaggerated statistics, which they supply us with, we are disposed to think the re. sources of that vast country are somewhat under-rated, and that we shall have far more extensive importations than most persons look for. " Our own late advices represent the grain crops as having been most abundant, and lead us to expect large arrivals. A few months will suffice to test the exporting capabilities of the States, and prove or disprove the allegations which are made. "In the meantime, we rest satisfied we shall have larger supplies than may be altogether pleasing to our speculators. " Reviewing again the position of matters, taking into account the saving of at least a portion of the potato crop in this country, regarding the excellence of quality of the wheat crop, and the little consequent waste, re membering the many sources from which we are likely to receive supplies—small, perhaps individually, but ex tensive in the aggregate—remembering above all Ame rica, the cupidity of her people, and the high prices to tempt them to ship even to their own inconvenience, looking to the prospect of a pressure in the money market, and the economisation of food—ever the result of scarcity —we cannot bring ourselves to believe that prices will reach a famine figure. That they will con tinue high we have little doubt. There may be, and there will be, changes and fluctuations in the market, but we shall be much disappointed if there be any con siderable advance on present prices. As for " famine" it is a bugbear, which a few months, we trust, will re move, fir be it remembered the scarcity and distress, at present existing in this country, arise, not from want of food, but from want of means to purchase that food." The subjoined announcement also appears in the Examiner. The report to which it alludes has been current in Dublin for several days past : "tire have heard it stated, by authority, that Govern. ment have sent down orders to have the stock of whisky, malt, &c., taken at the various distilleries of this city. We presume this is with a view to the stoppage of dis tillation from grain in this country, as a measure-of pre caution against impending famine. It may be in conse quen"e of this step taken by Government, that whisky has advanced to 7s. a gallon." LANDLORD AND TENANT. Mr. Evelyn John Shirley, M.P., one - of the largest proprietors in the county of Monaghan, has favoured his tenants in that quarter with a " letter of advice," con taining some extremely prudent and discreet suggestions. The following is a copy of the circular:— "TO THE TENANTRY OF THE SHIRLEY ESTATE. "Sept. 15. " My Friends and Tenants,—Application having been made to me by some of you en the subject of the exist ing distress and alarm caused by the failure of the pota toes, I take this method of stating my opinion and advice on the occasion. "It becomes the duty of all classes, under this afflic tion of Divine Providence, to exert themselves to alle viate the distress occasioned by the awful dispensation; the poor, to exert their patience and to calm their fears; the rich, to aid in devising the best plan to secure food for those whose means will soon be exhausted. The Government is ready and willing to assist in the good work; and grants of money are making, under certain regulations, to enable proprietors and landlords to. em• ploy those in want of work; and thus all such will have means to provide for their families. The larger tenants must take care of their cottiers, and supply them with money, or meal in lieu of their potatoes: thus, the burden will be divided, and all will bear a share of the general calamity. " Meanwhile, let the tenantry take advantage of the blessed weather, by increased exertion in securing, threshing, and selling their corn while the market is high, and paying their rent, aiding the landlord to help the distressed. Thanks to a merciful God, the corn is in a good condition, well saved, no wind to shake it out,no wet to injure it; the hot sun we are blessed with must be beneficial to the potatoes. " Let us by cheerfulness and firmness soothe the timid and encourage the active and industrious; remembering that this affliction is intended as a trial for our good, and must be borne with resignation to the Divine will. But above all things avoid the counsel of these bad men, who, with their rents in their pockets, delay in paying it, while they endeavour, for their own selfish purposes, to increase the alarm in the minds of the poor and weak. If such should b found in Farney, let them beware; for, if detected, neither their wealth nor their station shall secure them from the utmost punishment an injured landlord can inflict.—l remain, your faithful landlord, " E. J. SHIRLEY." AR MY MOVEMENTS. The 3d (the Buffs) regiment of infantry, under Sir James Dednis, 1C.C.8., arrived in two divisions—the first yesterday, the second this morning --from England, and took up their quarters in Ship -street and Ald borough- barracks. The Carabineers will arrive here on the 30th inst., and the 3d of November. They are to be stationed at New bridge and out-quarters. lIIPROVED CONDITION OF THE POTATO CROP. — A few weeks ago it was the general impression, in Co vent-garden-market, and the other vegetable markets in the metropolis, that before the middle of November a single potato could not be anywhere obtainable. Within the last eight or ten days a change has taken place in the opinions of the potato-dealers in London, and they now admit that though the price of that es culent may not be much lower than it is at present, yei that the metropolitan markets will be liberally supplied with potatoes until the end of next spring. They have received intelligence from various parts of England. Scotland, and even Ireland, especially from the southern parts of the latter country, to the effect that large fields in which the potatoes were looked on as totally de stroyed, have unexpectedly and agreeably turned out, on proceeding to dig them up, to be in a sound and healthy condition, in the proportion of from fifty to seventy per cent. Not only, therefore, have all apprehensions in reference to seed vanished, but, as just remarlerd, this part of the food of the lower clasccs will continue to be liberally supplied for months to come without any in crease on the present prices. A TRICIE.—The following ingenious trick was last week endeavoured to be played off on Taylor and Bowley, Charing-cross. A stout man, about 40 years of age, entered the shop, and expressed a wish to pur chase a large quantity of boots and shoes, at a reduced price, for the purpose of shipment; at the same time to prove that he was in the habit of doing business of this nature, he produced invoices of goods had in a similar way, from Gundry's, Soho-square, and other respectable West-end houses. A parcel having been selected, a price was agree . d upon, upon condition a tertian other quantity was added to it at a much lower rate, to make up for what was considered toe high a price for the first lot. An invoice being asked for and given, the money for the seeozd lot was offered, with the promise of sending for the others in half an hour, but upon being told that o'ne parcel could not be taken without the other, or a suffi cient deposit left upon the second, he walked off much disconcerted, stating that he would send for them all. Upon inquiry, it has been found in many cases he has succeeded in this way in obtaining parcels of goods for one-third their value, which it is feared the posse3sion o the invoic.s unguardedly given to him will much fa cilitate. THE PRICE OF GRAIN.—We feel more regret than surprise at finding that the price of wheat continues to advance in all the principal markets. The weekly average for the kingdom, which was made up on Thurs day last, is 565. 10d. per quarter ; and we find that the Wakefield average for this week, which will enter the general average of next Thursday, and is usually about the same in amount as that for the whole kingdom, is no less than 595. 34d. per quarter. Since the sales were made on which that return is founded, prices have been further advanced about 2s. per quarter ; so that the ave rage price of the whole kingdom is now certainly above 60s. per quarter.—Manchester Guardian. IMPROVEMENTS IN TOWER WARD.—On Saturday a copy of a letter from the Duke of Wellington to the Alderman, Common Council, and inhabitants of the ward, respecting the proposed new street through i t, i n answer to their memorial, was exh i bited triumphantly in several of the tradesmen's windows, the Duke having expressed himself favourable to the widening of Great Tower-street in preference to a new s t reet . FOREIGN CATTLE.--A, sailing -vessel is arrived in the Lond m Docks from Hamburg, with, in addition to a cargo of speller, 40 head o f h orned cattle. This ar rival pres?nts two distinct f ea t ures of novelty, it being the first importation into % th e port of London of live cattle in a sailing-packet from this distant Hanseatic port, and the first time also, we believe, that a vessel has entered av of the dock establishments having a con signment of Iwo horned stook ou board. DREADFUL MURDER. The following melancholy narrative of the murder of John Baptist Epaille, Bishop of Sion, Vicar Apostolic of Milanesie and Muronisie, at the Lle of Ysable, is taken from the Sidney journals, communicated by Cap tain Richards of the schooner Maria Watson, fi (me Astrolabe harbour, December. 1345:—" On the morning that the melancholy circumstance oocurred, his Lord ship, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Fremont, the Rev. Mr. Chauraine and two lay brothers, put off from the vessel in the boat, with the second mate and four seamen, in order to find a place to form a settlement; they had been five days making excursions for the same purpose. When the boat left the vessel, the second mate inquired of his Lordship, to which place they should go, and was directed to proceed to the " Un friendly Tribe," a name which the inhabitants of that part of Ysable had got on board the vessel from all the natives who had previously visited them. A missionary had told them that if they went there they would be killed; brit, in consequence of the different tribes being at war with each other, little attention was paid to his statement. As the party approached the beach they ob served a number of objects on the island, apparently motionless, and scarcely distinguishable from the ground; they at length observed a convenient and proper place for landing, and as they approached the shore same of the party said the objects they saw were posts, and others said they were not men, but gray stones. As the boat came nearer to the shore they observed a body of about 100 natives, some of whom left the beach and went into the bush, apparently afraid. Signs were made to them not to be afraid, and an old man with long white hair, in a state of trepidation, went alongside, and examined the boat very minutely, no doubt to ascertain whether there were any arms in it. He had two mangroves in his hand which he gave to the second mate, who presented him in return with a piece of iron. The party then left the boat, two seamen remaining with it, and the natives attempted to pull it to the beach. Contrary to their usual custom, the seamen were unarmed, saying they were ashamed to go armed while the Bishop and the priests were unarmed. Ilia Lordship, with the Rev. Mr. Chauraine, one lay brother, and a seaman, walked on one side ; the R. Mr. Fre mont, the other lay brother, the second mate, and the other seaman, on the other side. Mr. Fremont, by signs, asked the natives where their houses were, but received no answer ; he then asked who was their chief, when a great number of them, proudly lifting up their heads, intimated that they were chief's. One of the lay brothers, by signs, intimated to one of them that the club he held in his hand was a very fine one, to which he in the same manner haughtily an swered,. that it was. A boy, apparently about thirteen years old, observed the ring on the bishop's finger, and offered him two mangroves for it ; his Lordship merely smiled, and the seamen observed that they )et a great value upon those mangroves. One of the lay brothers saw an axe in the hands of one of the natives, which he pointed out to Mr. Chauraine, who said that he had also seen one. These axes were not on the short handles they usually are, but had handles four or fire feet long, and the axes themselves were very bright. Mr. Chauraine directed his Lordship's attention to the circumstance, and said the natives appeared ready to attack them. He said that was true, and asked if the sailors were armed. He then began to return towards the boat, but it was too late, as he had scarcely taken two steps when the native came behind him with an axe, which he raised with both hands, and struck the Bishop a violent blow on the head. His Lordship raised both his hands to his head and cried out. All the natives then yelled, and attacked each of the party individually. The whites were separated, and could not help each other ; the only thing they could do was to try to reach the boat ; on their flight thither, Mr. Fremont received two cuts on the head, and the second mate one; Mr. Chauraine received a blow on the head, and another on the leg, but not severe. A pistol was fired from the boat, and all the natives, except three, ran off to the bush. These three were trying to strip the Bishop of his clothes, when Mr. Chauraine seized a cutlass and ran to protect his Lordship; as he laid his hand upon him a musket was fired, and the natives ran off yelling. Mr. Chauraine carried the body some dis tance; but, being unable to carry it far, he called for assistance, but to no purpose; he called , again, when Mr. Fremont, and one of the lay brothers, went to his assistance and carried the Bishop to the boat, the natives shouting fiercely, and screaming all the time. His Lordship was insensible and bleeding profusely from wounds ; when he was washed and his head shaved, four large wounds, each three inches in length were disco yered. His Lordship lived for three days aad a half, during the whole of which time he remained insensible, and departed this life at about a quarter to one o'clock on the fourth day." On the 20th of December the re mains of the Bishop were interred close to the place marked on the French charts " Debarcadere," the outer point of Astrolabe harbour, and the highest peak near Cape Prieto, on the same island. On one of the small stones along the grave is a mark of a cross to indicate the spot.—Maeritian, July 24. SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR TAUNTON. A well-known inhabitant of Taunton, named Thomas Cross, thirty years of age, came by his death on the night of Monday last in a somewhat mysterious manner. The particulars are as fellow :—For some time past, the deceased, who was a stone-mason, had been working in connexion with his father and a younger brother, who were also masons, in the erection of a bridge at llalbertnn. On leaving work on Monday night, the father and brother repaired to their lodgings, a short distance from their work, after having received a pro mise from deceased that he would follow them imme diately afterwards. A considerable time having elapsed and the deceased not appearing, the father returned in pursuit of him, when he found him at an inn near the bridge, and lie again reached his lodgings without him. Shortly afterwards a man with whom deceased had been working, named Joseph Bailey, was proceeding to the house of deceased's father, where he also lodged, when he was attacked by three men, who severely kicked and beat him, so as to render him almost insensible, at the same time uttering the most blasphemous imprecations on the next person they should meet with. It is sup posed that about this time, it being then between eleven and tweke o'clock at night, the deceased came up, as he was seen on the road shortly before, and either that hearing the threatenings of the villains who were but a short distance from him, he took shelter under the Taunton and Tiverton canal bridge, and thus fell into the river, or else he was brutally murdered and thrown into the river, although the latter rumour is generally supposed to be correct. The deceased not arriving at his lodgings for the night, early on Tuesday morning his mate, Joseph Bailey, and James Sheppard went in search of him, when, after an hour's search, they found hint in the canal. On examination several severe bruises and wounds were discovered about the head, especially under the ears. An inquest was heldcoornleVr ; edn:,hn mr. sd e ayit . t g ll u a i l e b k e , rton before Leigh, Esq., on sur geon, of Tiverton, attended and examined the body, but from not having made a post mortem examination, could not state the direct cause of death, and no evidence being adduced to implicate any particular parties, a verdict of " Found drowned" was recorded. It has since been ascertained that three men have left their employ at Halberton under rather suspicious cir cumstances ; this, coupled with a report that a cry of murder was heard near the bridge about the time the deceased was passing it, together with the bruises about the head, makes it generally believed in the neighbour hood where the melancholy circumstance occurred, that the deceased came by his death by foul means.—Somerset County Herald.

LIONEL DEERIIURST ; Olt, FASHIONABLE LIFE UNDER THE REGENCY. EDITED BY THE COUNTESS OF 13LESSINGTON.—If the editorship be a fiction, it is an un necessary one, for this is a novel of which the Countess of Blessington need not be ashamed ; if it be not, and her Ladyship is but the chaperone of a younger hand, the promise is very great indeed. Not that Lionel Deerhurst must hope to escape criticism from the cri tical, and that of the sharpest ; one may question its morals, another the propriety of its second title, a third the homogeneousness of its characters. and there may he something in all this ; but still the book possesses evidences of power which will sustain it ; once started, there is no flagging in the interest of the story ; and malgre some improbability, few readers will consent to relinquish it until they have perused the whole.— Weekly Chronicle. REFORM AT THE POLICE COURTS.—A circular order from Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, has been received at the different Police Courts, directing attention to a clause in the Police Courts' Act, which specifies ten o'clock in the morning as the time for commencing business, and intimating that in future the magistrates, clerks, and officers would be expected to attend punctually at that hour. The order has, no doubt, been issued in consequence of well-founded complaints that some of the magistrates are in the habit of keeping the suitors and others waitinr , " for their pre sence an hour or two aft ‘ r t h e appointed time. Two convicts, some days since, made their escape in disguise from the Gironde hulk, at Brest, and have not yet been recaptured. • NRAUPIMINIMOMIMPOTINIMMIPPOOPMP' _ , - A411111111P 71.
