The plaintiff had attempted to fix gates at the entrance to the square, in which he had been resisted by the parish'authorities, hence the present action. At the suggestion of the Learned Judge, it was arranged that it should be turned into a special case. UROWNE W. SMITA. In this running down case, which did not terminate till after 11 o'clock last night, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 150 L BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A person, who gave his name as Taylor, made an ap plication to Mr. Henry for advice, as to the mode of re covering the sum of 15i., the value of a parcel lost by the Parcel Mail Company. The parcel had been posted at the chief office, but had never been heard of by the person to whom it was directed. The chief clerk had admitted the receipt of the parcel, and had given him a letter to Mr. Slay, the cashier, desiring him to pay the 155., and giving him the authority of a member of the company, a Mr. F. (the initial only was given), for the payment. Applicant had presented this letter to Mr. Slay, but he. refused to pay it, saying that Mr. F. was not now a member of the company, though he had been. Applicant wished to know whether the magistrate could not grant a summons. The Usher said, that before bringing the applicant into Court he had told him it was useless, but he thought if the magistrate saw it he would grant a summons. Mr. HENRY said he was very sorry that he must give the applicant the same answer that he had given to hun dreds of applicants who had lost property by sending it by the same, conveyance. He had no power to grant a summons ; and the only remedy was by an action against the Parcel Mail Company. Tho applicant discontentedly left the Court, saying that he would enter an action immediately. MARLB . ,II,O I -STREET.—(THIS DAY.) William Crisp was charged with leaping up behind the carriage of Mrs. Jacobson yesterday, and annoying the nurse-miid. Mrs. Jacobson said she and her son, and the nurse maid wish the child, were in the phtmon yesterday, about half-past two o'clock, passing round the corner of Green street into Leicester-square, when she heard a scream from the nurse-maid, she looked round and saw the pri soner hanging on the phaeton behind, pulling back the nurse-maid's head and scratching her mouth till the lips bled, and a child six weeks old was in danger of be ing tossed out of her arms. It was not till they reached St. Martin's-lane that they could get the man down. Complainant had never seen the man before. Emma Summerfield, nurse-maid to Mrs. Jacobson, said the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to her, leaped up and pulled round her bonnet, and scratched her lips till they bled. Mr. Jacobson, who was driving, on hearing a scream, turned round and cut the prisoner down with his whip. The prisoner made use of the most abusive and obscene language, and would not leave the phaeton, so that they were obliged to give him into custody. The prisoner was quite sober at the time. 'The defendant denied the accusation. Mr. LONG sentenced him to a fine of 20i., or 14 days' imprisonment. The following gentlemen were brought up, charged with been found in a suspected gambling house Charles Hamilton, Morris Albert, Robert Johnson, Frederick Wilson, William Hemmings, Henry Smith Hallam, John Smith, and the doorkeeper, James Townsend. Superintendent Beresford said he had orders and authority from the Commissioners of Police to enter the house No. 2, Rupert-street, St. James's, and went a quarter before two o'clock this morning, with two other constables. He rang the front door bell, the door was opened by the poiter Townsend, whom he seized imme diately, as Townsend knew him.well, and would suspect his object, and gave him over to the custody of the other constables. The gas was immediately put out. He then entered, and found in the centre of the passage a door covered with green - baize and lined underneath with iron. After knocking at this to gain admission, without success, they made use of the sledge-hammer and crow-bars, and with much labour succeeded in fore . ing the doer 'off the hinges and one of the bolts which secured it, but failed still to remove the door. Some one opened the door from within, and the witness found it had been secured by an iron bar, which turned on a centre, fastened to the door itself, and fell into sockets in the door-posts. The witness was met by another door at the foot of' the stair, fitted in a similar manner, and having a small hole in it as a "look out;" this was open also. Half Way up" the stairs he found such another door, also optn. He passed into the first-floor room, and found the defendants, but no implements of gaming in the room, or on their persons. The stairs which led to the upper part of the house was guarded by a similar door at the foot, and at the top was a trap door which fell down over the stair• case and bolted on the lower side, and over all an iron gate, so that any one coming from above could not get down to the first floor. Mr. LONG said, as no implements of gaming had been found the case failed against the defendants, and they were discharged. Sixteen gentlemen were brought up on a similar charge from the house No. 64, St. James's-street, usually known as the Cocoa-tree Club. Superintendent Beresford said the evidence in this case was similar to that in the former ; he found a great many iron doors, bolts and bars, and the defendants within, but no implements of gaming. He said they had ample time, while he was forcing the doors, to maks aw t ay ::: w iL i l t ou h Nd a tio nthing suspicious. also tt, n discharged d t a h s e defendantseeunse and in Mr R case. o bertson as solicitor for the defendants, in both cases: CLERKEN WELL.---(THIS DAY.) Anne Nebors was charged, before Mr. Combe,_ with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Thomas Hornsby, boot and shoe maker of No. 15, Northern buildings, Somers-town. Elizabeth Hornsby, the prosecutor's wife, said the prisoner came into the shop yesterday evening, and asked to look at a pair of boots. Witness took down two pair, sad laid them upon the counter, when the pri soner asked to be shown some other articles, which were down at the end of the shop, and during witness's tempo rary absence one pair of the boots were removed from the counter, but the prisoner managed to effect her escape before the theft was discovered. The next day she was taken into custody, close to the prosecutor's shop, with the boots on her feet. Mr. COMBE committed her for trial. A little urchin named Good, was charged with rob bing his employer, Mrs. Susannah Baker, of the Lower road, Islington, under the following rather peculiar cir cumstances :—The prosecutrix stated that she carried on business as a .dyer, and the prisoner had been in her employment for some time as an errand-boy. Yester day evening she gave him a parcel to deliver at a house in Red Lion-square, ai,d in about an hour afterwards he returned, and pretending to cry, said he met three men opposite New St. Pancras Church, one of whom knocked him down and robbed him of the bundle, when they ran away in the d,irection of Paddington. Considering the story very improbable , owing to the publicity thefspot, and coupling his statement with the fact that on a previous occasion she bad given him money to pay a bill, which he said . he had lost, she sent for a poiceman, and gave him into custody. A witness here came forward, and said that he met the boy last evening crying in Maiden-lane, and that he made the same statement to him. Mr. COMER put several questions to the witness as to the motives which induced him to come forward, which the worthy magistrate considered him to have answered so upsatistactorily, that he adjourned the case, in order to give time for further inquiries.

A waterman of the name of Freeman immediately went to his assistance, and succeeded in getting him into his boat in less than two minutes from the time of his immersion. He was con veyed to a public-house near Vauxhall-gardens, where every attention was paid to him, and in less than two hours he was enabled to return to his home. USE OF TOBACCO.—I find that a sure mode of driving all animals out of a hole is to smoke tobacco into it.

The usual weekly meeting of the guardians of this parish took place yesterday in the board-room of the workhouse, in the New-road. Sir James Hamilton was the chairman. Some of e minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed, when that relative to the communication from the Poor-law Commissioners, was read for confirmation, a discussion ensued relative to it. _ _ HI asked what was to be done with that com munication. He apprehended that it should be an swered in the way that all such communications to that board from the Poor-law Commissioners had hitherto been answered—in a way to show them that no direct interference on their part in the affairs of that parish would be sanctioned by that board. The Commissioners asked to be furnished, amongst other information, with the books, registers, diaries, and documents used by that board, which was a stretch of authority he would not yield to. He had no objection for the Commissioners to see such books as would enable them to judge of the general management of the parish; but he would not accede to their request to be furnished with what they had no•right to ask for. The CHAIRMAN—That is something like throwing de fiance at the Commissioners. Mr. MECHI—Just se. I, for one, as a guardian of this parish, will never consent to be governed by the Poor law Commissioners, and if they should ever attain the power in this parish at which they are aiming, I shad cease to be a guardian or director. Mr. POTTER said ,t he hoped the Commissioners would be now rot !I the same spirit that had been hitherto opposed • t • isi. He begged to move, there fore, that the lett u_ question be referred to a com mittee, and they be viqp.e.,ted to prepare an answer to it. Mr. MECHI seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. A committee was then appointed, consisting of the following gentlemen :—Sir Wniter Stirling, Mr. Ander son, Mr. Mechi, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Potter. After the transaction of much local business the board separated. MEETING ot , MIDDLESEX MAGISTRA ES.-FRIDAY. The report of the visiting justices of the Westminster Bridewell was read. It appeared that in the cases of cer tain juvenile criminals who were too young, or in other respects unfitted for Parkhurst, a sentence of imprisonment had been substituted for a sentence of transportation. A warrant had been transmitted from the Home-office for their reception into this prison, which it was intimated in the communication from the Home-office would not cause any augmentation in the county-rate, as the addi tional expenditure occasioned by their maintenance would be defrayed by Government out of a sum voted by Parliament last session for such purposes. If this system is acted upon it will virtually put a stop to the transportation of certain classes of young offenders. The report gave some detail of the increased duties devolving upon the officers of this establishment, and especially upon the governor, since the demolition of the new prison, which gave rise to the necessity ad interim of constituting it a reception prison ; and concluded by stating that the Governor (Lieutenant Tracy) had dis charged his arduous superintendence of the two depart ments of the prison in a manner which entitled him to augmented confidence and the highest commendation. The visiting justices had spontaneously, in the Gover eor's absence, deemed it their duty to record this fact, and to recommend the court to present him with the sum of 1001. Mr. WILKE; then moved that the court concur with the visiting justices of the Westminster Bridewell, in the expressions of approval of the manner in which Lientenant Tracy, the governor, had superintended that prison during the past year, and ably and discreetly met the extraordinary duties imposed on him, in consequence of the vast number of 6,300 prisoners, who would have gone to the new prison, having been committed to that gaol, and under circumstances that required special vi gilance and prudence in him, and that as a proof of the particular approval of the court he be presented with a gratuity of 1001. The motion was seconded and agreed to. A vote of 1001., under similar circnmstances, was carried to John Levis, Esq., the surgeon; of 501. to the chief warder, Mr. Cree; and'of 201. each to the gate porters. TLe salary of Mr. George Hoare, the chief warder of the Middlesex House of Correction, was augmented from 2001. to 2501. per annum, after some debate. There were nearly 60 magistrates present, and only three dissentients. GRAND JURIES. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE moved, pursuant to notice, that several presentments of the grand juries with re spect to their duties be referred to a committee to report upon to the court. He briefly referred to some facts which had come under his notice while presiding in that court to show that grand juries were often a mode by which villains escaped. A short time ago he had impounded a document, which was a written agreement between certain parties that a sum of money should be paid to a witness, in the event of his varying his evidence before the grand jury, so as to obtain the acquittal of the accused. In another case there was a notorious offender, a woman who had been five times indicted before-the grand jury, and every time the bill had been ignored. This was certainly un accountable, and it was equally strange that in other cases they not unfrequently found a true bill when there was no evidence at all.—(Bear, hear.) After animad verting upon some of the City authorities, to whom he had written upon the subject, and who had not had the courtesy to answer his communication, he moved the appointment of a committee, and expressed a hope that the legal members of the bench would afford their assistance. Mr. LAURIE threw out some practical suggestions on the subject. He had made a motion in that Court some years ago, that a clerk should attend the grand juries, which had been carried, but it was singular that it had never been acted upon. Since that course had been adopted at the Central Criminal Court the number of bills thrown out had decreased from twelve per cent. to five per cent. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE feared that that plan would not be of the same value in the small cases tried in that court as it was in the cases of greater magnitude tried at the Old Bailey. The motion was agreed to nem. con., and a committee nominated.—Adjourned. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last Night's Gazette.)

In the portion which he has yet given to the public, through the medium of this Magazine, no extra ordinary incident is narrated, no monstrous character is introduced, no trick is played off to electrify or galvanise the spectator. A rakish, suspicious looking craft, com manded by a regular sea-dog of a captain, is highly de scribed working out to sea in a manner to keep clear of an impertinent revenue steamer; and yet such is the art with which the manoeuvres on board are related, that even the most determined landsman is excited, despite of himself, and feels an unaccountable interest in the fate of the impudent Molly Swarth, her Captain, and her crew.

From the closing scenes of the present Number, we may an ticipate a change in the fortunes of the principal characters, a removal of the Darcys from their seclu sion, and in the end a retribution upon those de plorable parvenu; the O'Reillys. If the person described as Counsello r O'H a ll oran b e, as we very strongly suspect, an intended satire upon a great living statesman and patriot, it is a most monstrous caricature and a most ungenerous and flagitious libel. We hope sincerely that our conjectures as to the in tentions of Mr. Lever in delineating this character are mistaken; if not, w e wou ld te ll hi m th a t h e i s playing with dangerous tools, that he is traducing under a mask, and morally stiletoing in the dark. The interview in which Mr. Dempsey's newspaper " creates a sensation," is humourously described and excellently illustrated by Hablot Knight Browne. NEWTON'S REPERTORY OF ARTS, SCIENCES, AND MANUFACTURES. No. CLXXX. The enterprising and industrious conductor of this periodical, Mr. W. Newton, continues his labours with unabated zeal. In neatness of arrangement, in clearness of illustration, and in excellence of ty pography, it still claims our commendation. The specifications or descriptions o f new pa t en t inven tions are givenin their completest form. Besides this, the " Scientific Notices " are superintended with much discrimination ; they are copious only when copiousness would be most desirable, and condensed whenever there should b e condensation. Th e publi cation must necessarily command a circulation in " This patent age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls;" and it merits all patronage. THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. The December Number lacks a biographical notice and an accompanying port ra it . I n t h a t par ti cu l ar alone it is inferior to it s pre d ecessors. A mong th e most interesting and important of the many interest ing and important contributions is the one upon the " Improvement of the Cottages of the Agricultural Labourers." The subject itself demands the most earnest consideration—it demands the consideration of the patriot and the philanthropist, equally—for in it is comprised the health, the happiness,_ the morality, and the enlightenment of the chief glory of a country —its peasantry. The writer insists with some emphasis and very great reason upon the necessity of elevation in the cottages, so as to insure good drainage and a wholesome circulation of uncontami nated air. The aspect of the cottage again he regards as a matter of no little importance, and strongly recommends a southerly aspect as the warmest. This valuable article is to be continued, and we shall watch for that continuation with interest. According to the Farmer's Magazine, the season for preparing the ground for the reception of the seed has been most favourable, and " a larger breadth of land has already been sown than is usual at this period of the year." With a divine blessing, therefore, we may hope for the prevention of a spread of the vege table murrain, and the infusion of fresh enterprise into our agriculturists. THE ECLEC7 IC REVIEW. Nos. V:, VI. In the November and December numbers of this intelligent monthly review, now lying b es id e us, there are eighteen distinct contributions. Among so many papers; and papers, moreover, exhibiting such general ability, it is difficult, . not even invidious, to make any selection. In morality and ethics, there are disquisitions upon Tayler's " Retrospect of the Reli gious Life in England," upon " A Report of Discus sion in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church," upon the " Wycliffe and Hanserd Knolly's Societies," upon Dr. Fletcher's " Memoirs and select Works," upon Brown's " Philosophy," upon Alexander's " Switzerland and the Swiss Churches," and upon the " Evangelical . Alliance." In history there are articles upon " Civilization struggling with Barbarism," upon Carrel's " Counter-Revolution in England," upon Miss Strickland's " Lives of the Queens of England," and upon—we smile at the recollection of many guffaws—Gilbert A'Beckett's " Comic History of England." In biography there are memoirs of Thomas Wilson and •Dr. Heugh. Besides these there are divers miscellaneous contri butions of various merit. We would, however, particularise a very charming analytical and synthetical article (it is both by turns) upon the poems of Elizabeth Barrett Barrett—a poetess whose writings only appeared some two years back, but who is already a familiar favourite with a large portion of the public. She deserves to be the favourite of a still larger circle. While we coincide, however, with the reviewer in regarding the similarity of tone which is discernible among contemporary poets, as attributable in a greater measure to the character of the generation in which they flourish, we think Miss Barrett's mind is manifestly imbued with the individualities not only of Tennyson, but also of Carlyle. She unconsciously in terpolates here and there distinct peculiarities of those eminent men. With all her i ndisputabl e originality and genius, she has inadvertently culled from the beauties which the perusal of their works had im printed upon her memory. When, in her "Drama of Exile," she speaks of the archangels as sweeping out into the universe " ivine, With thund'rous movements, earnDest looks of gods, And silver-solemn clash of cymbal wings," we lire at once reminded of the composite words of the author of " Teufelsdrocht," and recur to that l i ne in Tennyson' s "M ar ia na i n the Moated G range, " de scriptive of the poplar tree, " All silver-g reen , w i t h gnarled b ar k." The terminati on o f t h e criticism graceful. is singularly THE POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIETY. Last evening a puLlic meeting was held at the Literary and Scientific Institution, John-street, Fitzroy square, for the purpose of forming a St. Pancras Auxiliary "Poor Man's Guardian Society," "in conse quence," to quote the words of the advertisment conven ing the meeting, " of the cruelties and - oppressive treat ment to which the poor are exposed in their adversity, when applying for relief from the Board of Guardians, and the deep sympathy awakened in their behalf in the breasts of the parishioners of St. Pancras. The attend ance was not numerous. Mr. C. COCHRAN said, the Rev. Mr. Stoddart had consented to take the chair, and availed himself of the opportunity to state, that the principal reason of the paucity of attendance was the holding of another meet ing in the neighbourhood for an equally good object— namely, the abolition of the punishment of death. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting. He said the poor-law, and the practices adopted in the various unions formed in accordance with that law, wore a blot on the escutcheon of this country, and that it was a wonder that, ere now, the people had not arisen, en masse, and demanded its entire abrogation.—(Cheers.) The system dealt in the grossest barbarities—child murder, forced divorce, and numerous other cruelties. Instead of the present system, the aged and indigent, and all who could produce a good character, should re ceive out-door relief, instead of being hurried into bas tiles which were worse than prisons. The poor had a a perfect right to have more relief than the law now allowed them to receive. Now, the relief was on a mini mum scale; the whole expense being only one hundredth part of the taxation of the eountry.—(Cheers.) After stating that he should use his utmost exertions to bring about an alteration of the system, he intimated that Mr. Cochrane would address the meeting. Mr. C. COCHRANE, who was warmly received, proposed the first resolution, which was to the following effect : " That this meeting is of opinion that the sufferings and privations now endured by the labouring population on account of the high prices of all kinds of provisions, must be greatly aggravated during the present inclement winter season, and being thereby inevitably compelled to seek parochial relief, to which by law they are entitled, it is the bounden duty of all boards of guardians and re lieving officers (more especially as it is strictly enforced by the Saviour of mankind) to dispense their relief kindly, readily, and liberally, and in accordance with the Christian principles of the good Samaritan, and not to make such relief to the necessitous and deserving de pendent on their abandoning their homes, and entering the precincts of a cheerless and harshly regulated work house or union." He referred at some length to the way in which the poor were tteated by the parochial authorities of St. Pancras and Marylebone parishes, and stigmatised it as most unchristian and barbarously inhuman. The case of the unfortunate young girlwho destroyed herself rather than return and subject herself to the cruelties prac tised in the "shed" was a painful illustration of this, and the case of the child Joseph Woodward, who died from sheer starvation and neglect, also exemplified the rights s sity of oftii'ea poor. — ty (H w e h a i r c , h h •a e -o a u r l , d a e n n d for e c h e eer t s h . e ) It wastr dadueethe, and offeredcameguardiansto supply totphpelymhoetrhweritah money rh ey er child was and bread, she having only been supplied with bread before, as a gentleman, whose name was not mentioned, called upon her twice, and left two shillings and two loaves of bread, and told her that the guardians wished to see her. But these atrocities were not confined to St. Pancras, as the " shed" system was adopted in Peckham. There 70 to 80 poor were crammed into a shed not larger than the space allowed for three persons in the London Fever Hospital.—(Shame.) And, in Marylebone, a young woman, named Mordaunt, was so neglected by the parish authorities that she died from the want of food and neglect, and she and her sister were blamed by Mr. Messer, the assistant overseer, for " want of energy." He said " the sooner they were tested with the work house the better." The one that died was in ill health, and they had to pay half-a-crown a week for their lodg ings, and to support an aged mother. Such an unmiti gated and heartless insult was never offered. The board. in order to shield themselves, dismissed Mr. Messer, but they were to blame for not issuing proper and humane orders to their assistants. No one under sixty, however good his character might be, could obtain out-door relief. A coachman named Carter, who was nearly blind, committed suicide because they would net admit him into the workhouse, as he was under 60 years of age, and because he would not bring his wife and family, who were earning a few shillings a-week, and whose earnings he told the guardians he could not bear to consume, into the house with him. But he Pleaded in vain, for they refused, and he hung himself.— (Shame.) He concluded by passing a glowing eulogy on Mr. Walter, of the Times, tor his exertions to remodel the poor-laws, and concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. ROPER, honorary secretary to the Distressed Needlewomen Society, seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. ELLits proposed the next resolution, which was to the effect—" That taking into consideration the frightful circumstances connected with the death by destitution of two of the parishioners of St. Pancras, namely, Mary Ann Jones and Joseph Woodward, this meeting is of opinion that they are to be traced to the cruel manner in which the suffering poor are treated by the parochial au thorities ; that in the preceding cases of death, the one _ . from suicide from apprehended punishment within the " shed" of the St. Pancras workhouse, the other from the want of the necessaries of life, this meeting is of opinion that murder has been com mitted, and that the parochial authorities are morally responsible for the same, and that the best protection the poor can have against future tyranny and oppression is in the formation of a St. Pancras Poor Man's Guardian Society. It was seconded by Mr. POYNTER, and carried unani mously. The following resolution was also adopted :—" That, taking into consideration the fearful disclosures relating to the death of Louisa Mordaunt on account of the harsh administration of the Poor-law by the parochial authorities in Marylebone, as also the published decla ration, of the disgusting rules practised withinthe Mary lebone Workhouse, in connexion with the wasting of the persons of the poor inmates, a public meeting be convened on Monday, the 14th inst., at Hall's Riding School, for the purpose of further investigating the dis , closures and practices referred to, with the object of pro viding such remedies as will guard against their future repetition ; and that the members of the borough be in vited to attend, and one of them invited to preside, and that notice be given to the Vestry and Board of Guar dians of the parish. A motion, approving of the appointment of the Auxi liary Society, was also adopted, and a vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman, the meeting se perated. THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY. There is a greater number of candidates for the Pre sidency at present than there ever has been at any former period. Unless the names be cast into a hat, and a selection be made at random, we know not how any satisfactory adjustment of the opposing claims can be made. A day or two ago we gave the names of a batch of candidates, but we did not give half the number of aspirants. We will now give them in tabular form : Names. States. Politics. Daniel Webster ... Massachusets ... Whig. Lewis Cass ... ... Michigan ... ... Democrat. Silas Wright .. ... New York ... ... Democrat. John M. Clayton ... Delaware ... ... Whig. John C. Calhoun ... South Carolina ... Democrat. ,Samuel Houston ... Texas ... ... Democrat. Henry Clay .. Kentucky ... Whig. J. J. Crittenden ... Kentucky ... Whig. John M‘Lane ... Ohio ... ... Whig. Winfield Scott ... U.S.A. ... ... Whig. Of the two first we have hitherto spoken. Of Silas Wright it may be said that his chances were much greater before .the late election than now. There is no sort of doubt that Mr. Wright possesses talent. It is most unfortunate for him that he was ever allied with the faction known by the name of the " Albany Re gincy." That faction now hangs like a millstone round his neck. Could he escape from its influence, his pro spects would 'perhaps be far better than at present. John M. Clayton is a man of talent, and would run well for the vice-presidency. We do not think there is any serious idea of running him for the presidency. Mr. Calhoun's claims are of no ordinary character. He has been now more than 20 years before the people, and is withall a man of powerful intellect and great pur'lty of character. He has many friends, who will doubtless make a hard push to secure his election. Sam Hous ton's chances are by no means to be over looked. He has a great many warm friends, and the romantic character of his life throws a good deal of in terest around his name. He is a different man from the Sam Houston of 20 years ago, and his popularity in some sections of the country is unbounded. He would command a strong vote in Tennessee, of which he was once the governor; and the war party all over the coip try, remembering his conduct at San Jacinto, would give him strong support. We need scarcely say that Henry Clay is still looked to by a large portion of the Whig party, as an available candidat e. T he old man still possesses the affections of the progressive portion of the Whigs, and should he not decline a nomination, would, in all probability , d istance all com p etitors of his own party. But it is rumoured that he will decline in favour of dr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, than whom there is not a m ore pure, able, or honest Whig in the Union. Mr. Crittenden has intellect of the highest order, and though a strong party man he is not narrow-mindel. He would command a strong vote. Of Mr. M'Lane we have spoken in a former article. General Scott is still the candidate of a section of the party. He once stood very fair with the people, but his letters at the commence ment of the present war damaged him considerably in t h e e stimation of his fellow-citizens. We fear his pros pects are at present gloomy, but he may yet retrieve his lost ground and make atonement for his error. Thus, it will lbe seen there are already eleven candidates for the next presidency. They certainly cannot all reach the consummation of their wishes, and we therefore wish the best man success. It may happen that the people's choice will not fall on any of these above named. There are doubtless others who will become prominent in the list of candidates before the next conventions of both parties. The manoeuvring at the next session of Con gress will fully develope the designs of both parties, and will serve to indicate those who stand the best chances of , success.

Almost all " its lovely companions are faded and gone," but the Forget-me-not still lives; as it pre ceded, so it survives them. The present is truly a most beautiful volume ; but, beautiful as it is, for us it has rather a retrospective than an intrinsic value. We welcome it, we gladly welcome it—not so much for what it is, as f o r th e th oug ht s w hich ill inspires. l Accustomed to encounter it y e a r after year, we look on it as an old f r i en d, " appealing "—to quote the beautiful lines of L. E. L.. i nscr ibed on the ttle page : i " Appealing, by the magic of its name r To gentle feelings and affections kept Within the heart like gold." Of the individual merits of the present volume we need say little. The days of the annuals; are gone by. An elegant volume of fanciful illustrations and improbable tales is valuable rather as a vestige , of what has been ; it possesses an hereditary claim to our regard. Indeed we might almost co mpare this very volume to some ancient aristocrat, remarkable only for his former celebrity and his glittering a, iornments, really insignificant among our humbler ariztocrats of mind, and yet nevertheless, an object of interest and attention. Perhaps we are speaking too cevsoriously of our old friend —let us briefly consider its attrac tions. The tales, and the poetry, and the engravings, for the most part resemble the tales, poetry, and en gravings of most annuals ; as such they will 130 doubt find many admirers. A story by Mless Pardee, " Matilda Mortimer," and anoth er by Eli za beth Gonatt, " Th e Good Angel," are greatly superior to their companions ; both are beautiful tales- —the first is rendered attractive by the noble character of its heroine ; the second by the good moral and good ad vice which it contains. One of the engravi ags "The Two Suitors," represents twe ladies in a g :arden ex amining a letter; the expression of the cou, atenances, more especially the roguish smile beaming in that of the younger one, is very felicitously convey ed. The binding of the " Forget-me-not for 1847," is of ex ceeding beauty, we might almost say th a t it s outwar d appearance littleattraction,as sertion,thoughgeneral co nplimer i tary t o a work, would not in this case be necessaril deroga tory to its inward merits. The green mor acco bind ing is of the most delicate hue, and on it i s entwined a graceful alt and ti e p o e luxuriante nten t it l ed e w d re , a , t ih wreath of Ilunti ag o f thef garde] flowers. From Lady Maude," we transcribe a verse, the latt kr lines of which convey a beautiful idea— " 01 scare not from his green recess The shy and graceful deer! Break not the forest silentness With sounds of strife and fear! The joy of every living thing In river, field, or grove, Is Nature's glad thank-offering Unto the God of love!" It is yotfo hhoenrour the smith- Mtge, ,ty and his field Club Cattle show with their p res ence. THE FIRE IN THE NEW-CUT.--On Thursda,3 r after osatla Highnessted to be pthreinienetentn Albert after noon several men belonging to the Fire Brigat le were busy searching among the ruins for the remainder rof the sovereigns alleged to have been lost in the fire. During their search they found a cat which had escap( td from the flames by creeping into an empty cistern. T hey also found upwards of 45 sovereigns. Mr. Fergus . had in sured the life of the poor little dwarf, but not G o a large amount. Morris, one of the firemen, met wi• a severe accident, by a piece of burning material fallir g upon his head and severely burning him. He was tt %ken to the hospital.

RlM—There has been a fair demand for Bengal, home consumption by private contract this week, but exporters have operated with caution, and the tendency of prices is downwards. There are sellers of Madras at 13s 6d to I ss, but few buyers are to be met with. Of Java there is still none here. Patna is little wanted, and prices are going down, 19s to 23s having been taken, and there is a plentiful supply. For Carolina the market is in a dull state at 34s to 40s.

There is, however, a good supply of all kinds. For Rape Cakes little inquiry has existed. FIVATIT.—There continues the same activity in this market as usual at this period of the year. Of Valentia Raisins there has been offered at public sale this week 10,309 boxes, and 4,123 half-boxes, being mostly out of condition and in ferior quality, a :great part sold from 40eto 41s; good and fine, which are scarce, fully maintain the highest quotation, 465; of old Valentias, 1,240 boxes, 887 half-boxes. all sold at 325.

For Currants there is still a good demand but the buyers take their chief supplies from the damaged parcels, of which there is a considerable quan tity by the late arrivals. SPrurrs.—Jamaica generally has sustained the previous currency, but only a limited business has been transacted. Leeward Island is wanted, and the rates offered are fully equal to those previously current. In Calcutta purchases to a fair extent have been made at fully previous rates. Demerara is held with firmness, but only a small business has been transacted, strong qualities at 3s 3d to 3s 8d per gallon. Brandy has been only in limited request for home consump tion or exportation, but holders are firm, and insist upon fully previous rates.

British Corn Spirits have been in excellent request. SALTPETRE.—Rough has attracted attention, and the parcels disposed of privately were at rather higher prices— common to fine Calcutta yielding 25s to 27s 6d per cwt. The supply at market is less than it was, and which is not to be wondered at, prices being under those of last year, the deli veries greater, and the stock less. OlLS.—This afternoon at public sale 70 casks Palm Oil were sold at 33s to 38s, 20 tuns of Seal 261 5s to 341 15s, 20 tuns of Cod 261 15s to 27/, and 30 tuns of Southern at 28/ to 29/.

PARIS.—We have to record another of those too fre quent cases of murder, followed by the suicide of the perpetrator. Rose Lamurie, the wife of a h orse b reaker at Chaillot, about twenty-five years R f age, had lived separate from her husband for about two years with their mutual consent, and has since lived in adultery , with a coachman at Vaugirard, named Leal. Leal, how ever, was jealous and brutal, and viol6it quarrels re peatedly arose between them. On Thursday night Leal returned. home drunk, and the neighbours above their apartment soon afterwards heard the usual sounds of high dispute, but were so accustomed to them that . they did not interfere. At four o'clock on Friday morning, Rose came down stairs and went out, telling the portress that she should never return. The whole of Friday passed without her re appearance, nor was Leal seen to leave his lodgings. On Saturday morning . the commis sary of police wa s inf o rmed of the mysterious circum stances, and had the door of the apartment forced open. Leal was found dead on the floor, with his skull frac tured, and other wounds in different parts of his body, inflicted with a crow-bar. The bottom of 'the door had been carefully stopped so as to prevent his blood from flowing out ben ea th i t on to the sta i rcase. On endea vouring to trace Rose L amur i e , w h ose gu il t cou ld no t be doubted , it was asc er t a i ne d t h at a b out e i g h t on Fri day morning she went to h er h us b an d , w h om, notwith standing their separation, she frequently visited, and took her breakfast with him. During the meal she talked of her miserable condition and her disgust of life, and of the most eas y means of self-destruction , expres sing her opinion that it was by strangulatio n . He re plied that he could not t e ll, f or h e had never tried any one of them. On leaving her house, Rose Lamurie went to Montmartre, where one of her sisters lives, but did not see her, going instead to one of her neighbours and saying that she would be absent several days, as she was obliged to travel forty leagues from Paris to get some money, requested her to take charge of a little favourite dog. In the evening of the same day Rose's sister went into her friend's lodgings, saw the little dog, and re ceived an account of what had passed on its being left. Astonished at Rose's not calling upon her, and sus picious that all was not right, she went to their father and mother at Vaugirard, where she arrived at the moment the murder of Leal was discovered. As Rose could nowhere be heard of, her father and sister went to the Morgue, and there they found her lifeless corpse, brought in under the name of Louise Rousseau, which she had assumed on taking a small room in the Rue du Rocher, where she had put an end to her life by suffo cation from the fumes of charcoal. She had left a note taking leave of her family, asking pardon of her land lord for the trouble she would give him, and confessing that she had murdered Leal, but protesting that it was done unpremeditatedly in the madness of passion, ex cited by his brutal treatment of her. After having lighted the brazier of charcoal, she hung herself on the rod which supported the curtains of her bed, in order to render assurance doubly sure.—Galignani. SEIZURE OF TOBACCO. WEYMOUTH, DEC. 3.—lnformation having been re ceived here some short time ago, from the officers con nected with the Custom-house at Guernsey, that a noted French smuggler was waiting an opportunity to load with a cargo of unmanufactured tobacco, the inspecting commander of the coast guard district of this station, Captain Kerr, R.N., immediately gave orders to her Majesty's revenue cruiser, the Adelaide, commanded by Mr. Miller, to proceed thither with all dispatch, and watch. The Adelaide had orders to cruise off the island, and neither to land or enter the harbour, excepting under circumstances of emergency ; besides which, the crews of all revenue cutters are forbid to purchase at any time either spirits, tea, sugar, or tobacco. But some on board the Adelaide, determined to do some business for themselves, smuggled on board nearly 500Ibs. weight of foreign manufactured tobacco. Shortly after the Adelaide was ordered to proceed to Jersey, and on arriving off that port, Mr. Miller, either from suspicion or information, 'immediately landed and waited upon the custom officers, stated his suspicions, and desired them to make a thorough overhaul on board, the result of which was the discovery of 5001bs. weight of tobacco secreted in the cabins and hammocks of many of the crew. Upon this the commander immediately left for this port (Weymouth), and arrived here from the Channel Islands in the afternoon of Monday last, when Mr. Miller lost no time in reporting to Captain Kerr, the inspecting commander, what had brought him hither. Captain Kerr then proceeded on board the Adelaide,and endeavoured, by questioning the crew, to find out the guilty parties; but he could elicit nothing satisfactory; when he gave the crew until the following day, at twelve o'clock, to consider his proposal, that of at once admit ting who were the smugglers. On going on board at the appointed time, all declared they knew nothing of how the tobacco got on board, or to whom it belonged. The case has been fully reported by Captain Kerr to the comptroller-general of the coast guard, and the officers and crew must await the result of a strict and impartial inquiry. To SMOKEES.—A knight of the plough, not fifty miles from the farm of Ingliston, after receiving h " dear won penny fee " at last term, resolved on having a spree with his comrades. In the height of his merri ment, sorrow took the place of joy, when he discovered. that he had lighted his pipe with a 51. note ! The note was utterly useless before the blunder was discovered.— Edinburgh Weekly Register. ATROCIOUS ACT OF CRUELTY. —An act of the most diabolical cruelty was perpetrated on the night of Friday, or Saturday morning last, in a stable belonging to Mr. White, of the Anchor Inn, Combehay, by which a valuable horse was destroyed, under horrible suffer- ing. The malicious perpetr;tor - of the deed inflicted a wound on the animal's head with an instrument, sup posed to be a pickaxe, of which the animal died. On being dissected, a spike nail, seven - inches in length, was found in its stomach. A large reward was announced; for information leading to a discovery of the barbarous offender.—Bath Chronicle. THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER AND THE REV. IL BITTLESTONE.—Some few weeks ago we stated that the Rev. IL Bittlestone, the curate of Leamington, had been. charged with holding doctrines and exhibiting practice ' s having a tendency to the Church of Rome, especially on the question of Transubstantiation, and in inducing a young female to come to the confessional. The Bishop of Worceseer having put himself in communieation with the reverend gentleman on the subject, the latter re quested a few weeks' time to consider of his reply, and at length the correspondence between him and the Bishop is published. Mr. Bittlestone denies the alleged heresy in all points, and says he has no Thought, 'purpose, or intention of leaving the Church of England for that of Rome, or of beguiling any soul away from 'the fold of the Established Church. The Bishop, in reply, acquits Mr. Bittlestone of heresy, but ccnvicts him of great in discretion ; and in regard to the doctrine.! questions which were the subject of controversy, says that many points might be adduced in which a clergyman, under cover of certain doubtful phrases, purposely perhaps retained in our Prayer-book with a view to conciliate Roman Catholic converts, at the time it was prepared or revised, may insensibly create Romanising tendenc ies in the minds of his people, and yet keep within the strict letter of the articles and formularies of the Church. The Bishop consents to countersign Mr.Bittlestone's testimo nials ; but, in taking leave of him, expresses 'a hope that he will pursue elsewhere his ministerial laborers with like zeal, but with somewhat more of discretion than he ma nifested under his Lordship's episcopal superintendence. —Worcestershire Chronicle. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—MR. ARMTEK'S BENEFIT. Mr. Archer, the attentive and civil box-book-keeper of the Haymarket Theatre, takes his benefit on Tqesday even ing next, and puts forward a most tempting and attrac tive bill-of-fare. In addition to the appearance of all the members of the Haymarket company (confessfedly the first comedy company in the world), Madame Celeste will, on this occasion, resume the popular character of Suzanne. Mr. Archer has catered so as to snit all tastes. The lovers of our old comedies will be delighted with the revival of Secrets Worth Knowing—(young Lester appears in the character of Rostrum for the first time). The seekers after novelty will find the new farce, enti tled Story Telling, in which Fatten, Buckstone, raid Mrs. llumby sustain the principal characters ; while the lovers of music will be delighted with the last .new and successful musical drama, the Young Pretender. Mr. Archer's merits, however, are sufficient to ensure him a bumper, without these adventitious aids ; una when we remember that he is a member of the honow:able frater nity of the Freemasons, whose peculiar cburacteris;ic it is invariably to come forward to aid a brother, we cannot but feel convinced that on Tuesday night " the little theatre in the Haymarket " will be crammed to over flowing. BOULOGKE, DEC. 2.—The Emerald steamer is now being laden with between 300 and 400 sheep and about a score of cattle for the English markets. A large body of gendarmes are on the spot to preserve order, and the troops of the line are in readiness to act should their services be required. A number of sailors and fisher men are looking an, and there is no doubt the shipment will take place without any outbreak. General Negrier and several troops of the line have arrived from Ardres.
