Its Comrareial Conse rnee and Political Power bear equal testime7,,y to the Industry, ore'dependence, and Union of its Populat,', o n.

It s ants knew their Rights, demanded, and obtained them. as lthi n Parliament and without, it was denounced by the Prophets 51;, Toryism as unworthy of political power, whilst a Eiberal Ad -I.linistration advocated and insisted upon its admission within the P b eo the Constitution. The Referm . Bill conferred upon it the e „ - "ege of Parliamentary Representation, and the Municipal Bill 1- , - need to its Inhabitants the benefits of a responsible Local Go ent. In the exercise of their high Prerogatives, the be' foes. of Gateshead have nobly justified their friends, and belied foes. Whilst on all sides, Corruption has been busied, in los a e cases too successfully, in its odious work—the Independence a ,he Borough has remained unshaken—defying alike the open 4. 4 ' the secret foe—the assailant from without, and the assassin cntivithin. Such a result will gladden, but certainly not surprise a true Re rner. The friend of popular rights will only view the pictu7 verification o f hi s own predictions—as the " consummation ' " devoutl y w i shed.

The effects of oft itpati7 and uncontradieted falsehoods have been already felt.

A Second Edition of Vol. 1., illustrated with 120 Wood-cuts, uniformly bound, has also been recently issued, price 7s. Of this volume, the Foreign Medical Review speaks in the following terms : " No person of education can peruse the volume already pub lished without gratification, and we think it will go far to make a natomy and physiology what they surely ought to be—popular studies. No author within our range of reading has so strongly placed before his readers the great ends to be attained by the pr,•- servation of health, or those general views which give importance to the object of hygiene. * # * We have seldom read anything surpassing in precision, both as to matter and lan guage; and the real difficulty in quoting consists in this, that we should not know where to leave off. Familiar as many circum stances mentioned are to all medical readers, they are presented even to them in a form which gives them almost the air of novelty. The structure and functions of the human body are explained with a fulness that obviates any accusation of the description being superficial, and yet with a brevity which must prevent any intelli gent reader from charging the author with being tedious.

GORDON'S SPECIFIC MIXTURE. Thu most speedy and effectual Cure for all Affections of the ' Urethra. It never fails to allay irritation in a few hours; and, if wed in confor mity with the directions contained in the wrapper on each bottle, it will effectually and immediately remove all diseases of the Urethra, without inducing the Nausea and loss of appetite attendant upon the use of other medicines. It requires no c'ange in the habits and diet o f the patient, nor need it in the slightest degree interfere with his usual occupations. The ingredients comprising it ate perfectly harmless, acing only ma the parts affected, and not, as is too frequently the case, spreading their bane. ful influence over the whole constitution.

THE ROYAL STUD.—" Put on your bonnet and come along with me, mother," said her Majesty to the Duchess of Kent. " They make such a fuss about my selling the Royal stud, that e will go into the stable and have a look at it." Her Majesty and her mother conse quently entered the stable, where they found a regular San; Weller in charge of the stud. " What hots , is that ?" inquired Victoria. "We calls him Lyndhurst," said the groom, " for he's such a regular devil for going from side to side." The Queen condescended to smile. " But," asked her Majesty, " What is that creature that will not rise "We calls that great black beast Phillpott,' sa id the man," for come in ven you will it's always a lying, just as you sees it naw." Her Majesty was a little bit astonish e 1 at these home truths. " But what is the name of that poor animal ?" inquired her Majesty, pointing to a horse sadly out of condition. " That's Londonderry," replied the man, " and a most capital name it is for the poor creature. Come up, Londonderry. Come over, you warmint. We calls him Londonderry, because he's so precious weak in the understanding." " Oh, ' fie!" said the Queen, " I mustn't hear that. Take care, mother, that other creature will kick you." " Don't mind him, your old Ladyship," said the groom. " That poor beast is quite harmless. It's particular /vicious, but too old to hurt any one. We name him Wynford." The Queen and her mother began to think the groom almost one too many for them, but Victoria with her usual quickness resolved on saying something brilliant before she left the stable. " What arc those thin animals at the other end?" inquired she, with a tone of surpassing sweetness. " Them thin ones is thorough bred, Ma'am," replied the stable-man, civilly. " Oh, tho rough bread, are they ? I think thorough bone would be more appropriate. Come along, mother." And the Queen tripped out followed by the Duchess of Kent, leaving the • groom in an hysteric of laughter at the Royal pleasantry.— Fiyaro. The ordinary meeting of the Zoological Society for scientific business was held on Tuesday evening, Richard Owen, Esq. F.L.S., in the chair. Dr. Andrew Smith read some observations on the necessity of making altera tions in the distinctions of the Linnwan genus of squalus, as he had seen several sharks which did not belong to any of the groups of F. Cuvior, whilst several of his sub-genera had received such alterations as to constitute them sub families. About a month ago Professor Muller, of Berlin, had altered these sub-genera into groups, a circumstance which was not at the time known to Dr. Smith, who had adopted his arrangement, classifying the different species in nine groups. Professor Muller, who was present, sup ported this alteration in some lengthened observations. Mr. Gould, on behalf of Mr. Burton, of Fort Pitt, described several rare birds contained in that collection. Of these were a species of Haleionida2, a three-toed genus of the king-fisher, and a native of Africa ; and a new goldfinch, from the Himalaya Mountains. He likewise exhibited two aew species of platycerus, from Australia, and several o b iNa i ft r ae d til s ,uyi orh f a r zial o edil m wai sns N tpoe e rc p yi a ea u st l, io w a hich he proposed to describe at a future opp o rt un ity.

We have made inquiries on the subject, and are happy to state that the report is unfounded. There is not more sickness than usual in that part of the metropolis, and, with the exception of some few parishes in the cast end, London was never more free from disease at this season of the year than it is at present. Itolit, Atid. 3l 1- - - , . , The present tipearance of this city is not without interest, and - tbougb tue.sffahget travelling in search of pleasure is scarcely likely to find his account just now in celiiiiig here; yet the daily occurrences, and the unharmonious composition of the Whiild fabrie of so ciety, will be sure to command his most lively attention. Nor indeed has nature failed to contribute her share to the stock of enjoyments ; for a long s6tins of years Rome has not known so beautiful and mild a summer. Our gardens and the Compagna arc still adorned with all the verdant beauty of. Spring, and the heat, which in June and July generally rises to 30 deg. of Reaumur (99 deg. of Fahren heit) was scarcely ever above 24 deg. (87 deg. of Fahren heit) during the first half of Augast, and has only once reached 28 deg. The nights are, as usually, refreshing, and the thunder storms have in general fallen in the vicinity of the city, so that they cooled the air without raising the detestable earthy vapours from the Roman streets. Of strangers there have been scarcely any, and the few that have been here have resided chiefly in Albano, Frascati, and other places in the neighbourhood ; but severely as this must have been felt by individuals, upon the whole, Rome ap peared to live unconcerned, undisturbed even by ivhat was going on in Naples and Palermo, and fully convinced that, what with their cordon and the especial protection of the Madonna, they were perfectly safe from those evils by which less favoured nations were so unhappily visited. Suddenly the cholera broke out in a small frontier town, and even in Rome some suspicious cases occurred. To have any idea of the commotion that ensued you must have seen a stick thrust into an ant's nest. The sick and all that bad been in communication with them were placed under quarantine, and Vie simultaneous appearance of the disorder in the most opposite quarters was a circumstance to which no attention was paid. The belief was still entertained that Rome would be spared. The Pope invited all the faithful to repair to the churches, under the promise of dis pensations and indulgencies for a hundred years and up wards, and in his invitation he expressed his confidence that the Angel of the Lord, armed with the sword of destruc tion, would, as once before Jerusalem, now pause before the city which was recognised as the centre of the Christian Church, and for whose welfare there were so many media tors in heaven. The churches were thronged, and the population full of confidence. The cases of sickness and death were mean while increasing. Ignorance, or some other motive, how ever, induced the police, formally and officially, to deny the presence of the cholera. The public joy was great, and found Yen t in thank-offerings to the Madonna, her images, so numerous in the streets of Rome, being splendidly lighted at night. In many quarters of the city you might have fancied you saw a general illumination in honour of some great national event. The conduct of the people re minded one of some of their most solemn festivals. It became necessary, however, to assign some cause for the numerous sudden deaths that occurred, and the fatal infatuation that they were the result of poison spread ra pidly among the lower classes ; the keepers of eating-houses no longer placed salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, &c., indifferently upon their tables as formerly, and the mere vociferations of an old beldame were sufficient to cause the mob to murder an Englishman who had given a biscuit to a beg gar's child in:the streets ; at all events, the severe injuries he received were such as to occasion his death within a few days afterwards. . Prudent people, whom no imperative necessity retained in Rome, hastened to leave the city. A second clerical • ordinance commanded eight days' prayers before a miracu lous image of the virgin, which was carried in procession from Mary's Church to Jesus Church, the Pope and Car dinals themselves joining in the solemnity ; the conversion of the whole city into a church, by the general and solemn illuminations ; separate processions, chiefly composed of women and young girls, who, with crucifixes and Madonnas at their heads went barefooted through the streets at night, praying and lamenting—all these were unceasing proofs of the increasing violence of the disorder. With tenfold force the cholera now broke forth in every quarter, aggravated no doubt by the crowded state of the , churches, and the numerous colds that must have been caught by the women, while wandering barefooted through the streets at night. It became impossible either to deny or conceal the presence of the dreaded distemper. A sud den and complete change ensued. Dread and consterna tion took the place of the confidence so lately felt in the Madonna, who, but a few days before, was said to have given proofs of her interest in the fate of the city, by the winking of the eyes of several of her statues. The church goings, the illuminations, the processions, and the ovations, seemed completely to have exhausted the whole rock of Roman piety. The Vatican and the Capitol were closed, as well as all public colleges, galleries, tribunals, &c. Car dinals, nobles, and whoever believed it in his power to do so, cut off all communication between his house and the city. The police, meanwhile, continued to issue clean bills of health, and even to demand them from strangers ar riving from the country. No public notice was taken of the presence of the cholera. The people in the neigh bouring towns now took the law into their own hands, with the exception of Frascati, the inhabitants of which are un bounded in their reliance on St. Roch. In other places they armed themselves, and drove back all diligences, couriers, and private travellers arriving from Rome, so that we suddenly found ourselves in a singular state of blockade, which the Government has till now wanted either the power or the will to raise. Nobody dreams of abstaining from unripe fruit, water melons, salads, the lying on the bare ground, and other habits that in ordinary times may he perfectly harmless. Negative precautions arc not thought of, but they seem determined on a positive attack on the disorder, and the lights having proved ineffectual, they are now trying fire. For some days past innumerable piles of fuel are blazing away even in the nirrowest streets ; but nobody seems to inquire whether the experiments of burn ing the cholera out have been attended with any result ; it is a precaution that fur many years people have very inno cently- been taking against the aria catlive, regardless of the intolerable heat which it occasions, driving smoke and stink into our windows, instead of the delightful refresh ment of the evening breeze. Camphor and chlorine of lime are the defensive arms in general use, and the Ro man ladies, usually so sensitive to every odour, even that of flowers, are content now to inhale the most disgusting and injurious stinks. With all these precautions, the disorder continues to in crease in virulence, surpassing in intensity even that of Naples. In addition to the hospitals originally prepared, further means of obtaining succour have been provided. Ten houses (not many, by-the by, for Rome) have been named where medical and spiritual assistance may at all times be had at a moment's notice. Among the Clergy, the Capuchins and Jesuits distinguish themselves by the indefatigable zeal with which they afford every succour in their power. The carabineers are likewise resolute and regardless of fatigue. The physicians are divided in opi nion, and in general have too little experience to be of much use. Dr. Dietz, attached to the Austrian embassy, has been indefatigable and most successful in his method of e s d a y t an. women r sa. n d T s h . o e u h n i g gh p e e r o p c l l e a s a s r e e s are by no means exemp t e d t nlbnco - iolo e oonni a crgy t ekpe m alarsefy( e rit n eteehe t ql wy . exu tiefalerinbnetssell Strange y a t ta e t k o How long our state of absurd v s cre t (oi m i i t enn. iff i f s aeute d nut iffi lctoai c not u ino l t ntcho t ei n o s t n s nr a oui v ctees:sot a oo s bf ep y prt e eri t lovo‘a i ,ui t i had l that thsions. e cholera i s icin,cl e s rg t be clergyman, n ke , or a rt otherna- y personb yqn a h r i anti ne regular attendance NotN ot one p l phy sician, sick has been attacked, and yet the dread of contact continues undiminished ; but if one of these people were to be involved in the fate of so many hundreds of their fellow citizens, the contagious nature of the malady would at once be looked on as a settled point. —II/gen/eine Zeitung. In the burial ground belonging to the chapel at Box lane, nn ear Hemel H em p s t ea d, severa l i n t er e s ting Roman antiquities were recently discovered. They comprise a globular vase of glass, nearly three feet in circumference, and of a beautiful emerald colour ; an earthen vessel of ele gant proporti ons ; an d a b ronze stan d o f grea t solidity,in tended, as its construction indicated, for the support of a vase or vessel of some description. Since the first disco veries were made the ground has been further excavated, and the liberal and intelligent curiosity which directed this to be done has been rewarded by finding a square vase of blueish g reen g l ass , t h e t o t a l h e i g ht of which is 12 inches, and, exclusive of the neck, about six inches. A handle, of the same material as the vase, is attached to the neck and shoulder of the vessel. The vases contain human bones. Mr. Gi r t on , w h o i s th e possessor of these interest ing antiquitie s , h as ki n dl y o ff ere d t o s h ow th em t o th e curious. There can be no doubt of their being coeval with the Roman period of our history, and consequently they aro' above 14 centuries old. The Romans burned their dead, and deposited the ashes in urns and vases ; this circum stance accounts for the vases found at Hemel Hempstead cintaining human relics. Vend= (St. Alban's) being a great seat of R oman power d ur i ng t h e per i o d o f Britain being in subjection to it, we may easily account for the fre quent discoveries of Roman remains in this county. a. t, d 7 71 9 71 7 $ 7 8 81 9 At the recent meeting of the British Scientific Asso ciation, Professor EvaNs being called on for his paper Ott " A critical Analysis of the different Methods adopted for determining the ' Functions of the Brain," said—He meant to confine himself very strictly to what the title 'of his paper announced. The proposition was—" What are the uses of the brain ?" There was this important viscus in the body—what were its uses, or was it of no use what ever ? This question had naturally. attracted the attention of the moot distinguished physiologists. One of the first methods was to anatomize the brain. They said "We will dissect it, and find out its uses thereby." But this was Soon found to be ineffectual. Mere anatomy would not re veal its use, or that of any organ. The -mere examination of a structure would not show the functions of which that' structure was capable.—(Hear.) The mere anatomy of the brain was insufficient. " Oh, but,' said some physiolo gists, "we have found out a method by which the ques tion can be determined ; we will not rest satisfied by dis secting it in the dead subject, but we will dissect in the living." This was one step in the advance of inquiry. But was this measure adequate to the object proposed, and had it been attended with success? That method was unable to solve the proposition it pretended to. To cut out the parts of the brain and then determine its functions, implied that they knew what part to cut out. It implied also that they knew how to take neither more nor less than the function, lest they should commit an injury on surrounding parts. They were as badly off as Shylock, when he had to take of pound of flesh, but to take neither more nor less. Had it been satisfactory ? Certainly not. The same investigators had differed from themselves at different times as to the re sults. The principal result had been a conviction that cer tain emotions appertain to certain' parts of the brain ; it ap pearing to be ascertained on investigation that an abstrac tion of particular parts of the brain--of the cerebellum— was invariably attended with disturbance of peculiar emo tions. Injury to the ea; a cerebelli was said to be attended with certain rotatory motions. It Appeared strange enough, that making wounds in the cars of birds was attended with disturbed rotatory motions. It was therefore as legitimate a conclusion, that a particular part of the brain had the function of motion as that the canal of the ears of birds had a similar function. This was an arguntentuni ad absurdum sufficient without going any further. But so far as this had gone in the hands of another investigator, Boileau, he seemed to have established this fact, that the removal of the anterior lobes of the brain was always followed by a loss of perception. This seemed to be so universal as to give a general assent. And so far as this rude examination went, this method had proved the use of the anterior lobes. There were some facts stated with respect to injury of the human brain, which were puzzling, but they were puzzling to all classes of philosophers. It would appear from some of them that man was different to animals ; that he could afford to lose a part of his brain, and not miss it—that brain was of more necessity to a rabbit than to a man.—(A laugh.) This might be a consolation. Another class of inquirers then came forward, and said, " We have now the best me thod : we will not depend on merely dissecting the brain in the dead, nor in cutting it up in the living ; we see the disadvantage in that as the investigation could never be applied to man." " We," said the pathologists, " will wait till nature, or rather disease, does for us what the dis secting anatomist does for himself ; we will wait till parti cular parts of the brain are affected ; we will see the cause of disturbance, and infer therefrom." No one could feel more than he did the great assistance that had been derived from pathological observations of the brain ; but he was not One of those who thought pathology was a sort of Alexan drian sword, with which they were to cut every Gordian knot. He would read to them some of the results which had followed these observations. Looking at the effect of the diseaies of the brain, they would find that investigation had proceeded a very small way indeed. So far as these investigations had gone, it had been agreed on by investi gators that the loss of the power of utterance seemed to de pend on the loss of the anterior lobes of the ce..-cbrunt. Little light had been thrown on the subject. He would suggest to different izvestieators, that they should. qualify themselves to do more than they had done.—( Hear.) A great number of pathological cases were brought forward to prove by indivi dual cases the power of connecting signs with sense, when dis ease existed in that part of the brain which was demonstrated the organ of language. He would take the liberty to incul cate on the junior part of his audience the necessity of their making inquiry for themselves. A gentleman became possessed of a case, and he wrote an account of it, either for or against phrenology, without having a full knowledge of the subject. The pathologigal method for determining the functions of the brain was r eally not fully sufficient, and be passed from it. A wholly different investigation was now taken up. It was said,—" We will take the brain as it is, in its natural living state, wed institute an investigation, and compare it, and make out why it was that man was the moat intelligent animal in the world." " Oh, it was be cause he has the largest brain in the world ; no animal has so large a brain." Now, there were larger brains in the world ; therefore that theory was overturned. Then it was—" He has not the largest brain, but he has the largest brain compared with the size of his body." That was not the fact. The wren and the sparrow had larger brains compared to the size of their bodies. Then it was -" He has a larger brain in comparison with his spinal marrow than any animal." He had not the largest brain in comparison to his spinal marrow ; so there was an end of that statement. It was remarkable that great names were attached to each of these theories, whilst the statements of others deserving respect had not been so well and properly treated. One 'said—" 1 will compare the brain to the face, and then I will make it out. The reason that man is the bead of the crea tion in his intellectual powers is, that man has the greatest brain in comparison to his face." This was not correct. Campier's facial line was next introduced. Accordingly rs the angle, showing the comparative prominence of the fore. head with the jaws, used in his plan, was greater or less, the intellect was to be greater or less. This appeared quite successful at first. Now, it appeared so from an accidental circumstance. It was accidentally right as it happened to take in the anterior part of the brain, which was the part of intellect ; but when investigated it was not true in prin ciple nor in fact ; for in the young child you beve a larger anterior brain than in man. And again, according to their method, the most intelligent negro must Le inferior to the most stupid European the angle being altered as the jaws or face protruded. All these methods failed in b ing ree sonable methods of inquiry ; and he had shown that they failed in being irreconcilcable with matters of fact. They took the whole brain to be a single organ, which it was not ; and the measure of the brain to be the measure of the intellect, which it was not. A man's brain was fixed. What mattered it whether another part of his body grew small or great ; that would not alter his intel lect. If they changed the shape of the bones of his face, that would not alter his intellect. Yet, accord ing to these methods, the alteration of any one of them would alter the man's intellectual powers. These methods would seem not to be adequate to this investigation ; they had been tried and found wanting. Another investigation now appeared in the field :—A man possessed of the power of original thought—of the power of observing nature with the greatest accuracy—(and he particularly mentioned this because he was represented in an opposite light)—as a physiologist coming out with so perfect a theory that its very perfection was an argument against it.—( Loud ap plause.) Dr. Gall proceeded to investigate the brain and put his facts together ; and he put down nothing but what he believed to be a fact ; and to this day Dr. G.s own system was infinitely behind all others as to fact. He had given in his adhesion to the power of the organs being determined more than any other person, showing the slowness with which he gave in his verdict to what, was not fully settled. He looked 'on the brain as a plurality of organs ; and his method was not to compare it with anything else, or any other brain, but to compare each part of it with another. This had been ridiculed ; but what there was in it ridiculous he could not discover. The result of his observations was, to come to the conclusion that, where the anterior part of the brain predominated, the intellect held sway ; where the sopa-_ riot part preponderated the moral powers were more ex alted, and where the posterior and inferior, the animal proe pensities. If they came to look into this rationally, what more rational than this, that the brain, the organ of the mind, and the organ of the feelings, as one part of it pre dominated, so' in that the function predominated ? - if the anterior lobes preponderated, and it be supposed to be the part of intellect, so would the intellectual part preponderate.. They might be here met by an opinion which was very generally adopted, diet the feelings and sentiments did not belong to the brain. They all knew that the sympathetic affections between the brain and other parts of the body were very remarkable ' • and that certain feelings or pas sions were accompanied with sensations in different parts of the body, from which it had been inferred that the pas sion lived in the place where it was felt —as, for instance, some of the finer feelings in the heart, and some of the less :amiable in the liver. The same reason, if this were well founded, should make them place grief in the tacit , ymal glands, because they shed tears. Such an idea was an-ab surd one. The system that Gall had pursued in bis investi- cations, he h, . endeavoured to show was a rational system. Ha did not fall into the error of calling the brain a singl' organ, or comparing it with other brains with which it nothing to do ; but he compared one part of the sam brain with other parts, and by observing the difference in the shapes of heads and the difference in individuals, he was able to come to a conclusion. Many objected that size was a pleasure of power. Phrenologists did not say that mere size was criterion of power. If they came to compare the heads of different individual", they would find that such was not the case. His system was equally tested by comparison with the same head and with the same part of another. Now, the only question re specting this science was, was it true, or was it not ? As to the question that injurious results arose from such opi nions, he thought it was ant wortity o physologic:<l investi gation. It was a great oversight not to recoiiecL that the works of nature were the works of the Creator, and that every fact ascertained in nature was really but a line written .by the Lord in his own book:--(Hear.) To determine then, whether these facts be true or not., there were two orders of testimony—the testimony of others and of ourselves. The testimony of others, of scientific authors, was long against this science ; but so far from that being the case now, it was extraordinary the number of scientific men that had given in to these opinions—of men who had attained . a certain age, and yet received a new science. He weak? say, if one distinguished man, and that man before an opponent, came round to an adhesion to the theory, it overcame the opposition of one hundred other men who bad not investigated it, and knew nothing about it, and would know nothing about it. He would appeal to the junior part of the audience, to think and examine for the nuelves. When they came to think of and ex amine into this science, be would venture to say, they would find in it some of the most physiological truths of any which had yet been presented to their notice. But they must go to the trouble of studying and inquiring into the subject. He should conclude by a reference simply to the character of the opposition which bad been offered to phrenology, and the character of the actual evidence in its favour. A man undertook to speak or write against phre nology ; put a skull into that man's hand, and ask him to point out the phrenological characters and name than ; atk an opponent to do this, and they would not find a sin gle opponent who could point out six organs in the head. He undertook to decide that a thing was wrong, without knowing what it wa§4hat was wreng, 7 —(Hear.) When a gentleman gave him proofthat he really knew the subject, he should listen to him with great deference, but not other wise. Again on the nature of the evidence, and he would conclude. Cases were recorded against this science of in dividual failure by persons of incompetent skill to decide. He contended that the affirmative evidence outweighed a thousand times the evidence of their opponents. THE CACHUCHA AT RIO JANEIRO. Little more than two months ago a marriage was much talked of in the upper circles of Rio Janeiro—thatof Count Alphonso de Zumiga, a youth of 23, with the Marchioness d'Ossara, a widow, who still retained some vestiges of de parted beauty. The Marchioness' great affection for the Count was generally acknowledged, but it was not less uni versally known that he sought but to secure her large fortune, and all his precautions had been unable to conceal his violent attachment to Riccardina Snares, a young and beautiful Por tuguese dancer, whom the enthusiastic frequenters of the Brazilian Opera proclaimed a match for the combined ac complishments of Taglioni and Fanny Elsler. On the 17th of Juiy last a new opera, in which Riccar dina was to dance the Cita Ilea, attracted an overwhelming house. Riccardina appeared, and was received with tu multuous applause. The acclamations became louder still when, on concluding the Cachuc I, she advanred striking her castanets towards the orchestra. But at the moment she saluted the admiring audience poor Riccardina shrieked and fell backwards. She was carried off the stage in hor ribit: convulsions and uttering fearful shrieks, and the curtain dropped. The report soon spread all over the house that a,:;tiafortis had been cast upon her, and that she was dreadfully burnt. The whole house were trans ported With rage ant indignation. The instinct of the multitude immediately p,;_inted out the Marchioness d'Ossara as the perpetrator of the deed. She at tended to the performance. The cro ;yd rushcd to the box ; it was deserted, but on the red veiv.:t that orna mented some part of it yellowish stains were dete:ted, de noting the action of a corrosive liquid. All doubt 'X" now removed. The infuriated spectators devasted the box. The curtain rose ; the manager came forward and confirmed the fatal news. " Signora Riccardina," said he, "is in tilt.; most deplorable condition. Her arms, her face, and her bosom are fearfully burnt ; it is to be feared tl;at she will be disfigured for life." The yell; became tremendous ; deafening shouts of " Revenge !" " Down with the wretch 1" " Viva la Republica!" were uttered from all quarters. In the meantime a young man, who had precipitately left the theatre, entered the Marchioness' house, and was soon in her presence. Moved at his sudden appearane, but striving to dissemble her agitation ; " Dear Alphonse," said she, " to what circumstance am I iodel,ted for this happy , visit. :-"Tie Count looked at her with fury, but could not utter a word. " You are untvell, Sir ?" added the Marchioness. " And Riccardina Soares r said he, gnashing his teeth. " Riccardina !" replied the Marchio ness, smiling ; " Riecardina is a person of so much talent that the public never can admire her as much as she de serves." The Count, after examining her for some seconds in silence, broke out kith fearful violence. " How came those stains on your dress, Senora? Why is that gown burnt ? . . In vain would you deny the crime ; y m that have done the deed." " Well. then," returned the terrified Marchioness, " it is I ; bit if it be a crime it is the crime of love," and, extending her hinds, she endeavoured to appease him. The Count seizad a cushion and violently forced it over her face and head. As :11? struggled she upset a table, and the noise brought up her attendants. The Count rushed out, a doctor was called in, but the Marchioness had expired. On the same day the Count iris seized in his house and taken to prison. As for Riccar dina Soares, slight hopes are entertained of her recovery. The corrosive liquid had attacked the jugular artery, and no thing could save her life but an operation of the most dan gerous nature, which was about to be attempted. Tuesday the ballot, as appointed at the Vestry meeting of the parish of Stepney on Saturday last, to decide the question of a Church-rate, took place at the parish Church, commencing at nine o'clock in the morning, and finally closing at six in the afternoon. The most perfect arrangements had been made by the churchwardens for taking the bal'ot fairly. The parish was divided into three districts, Mile-end Old Town, Mile-end New Town, and Ratcliffe. To these were appropriated five ballot boxes ; each presided over by a competent person appointed by the churchwardens, and two influential persons, chosen by the respective parties to act as scrutineers. It is impossible t o describe the intense anxiety and excitement which prevailed throughout this highly populous district during the de v. Committee-rooms had been formed in different parts of the parish, and the several avenues leading to the Church pre sented a scene only to be equalled by .Stepney-,green a contested election for the Tower Hamlets. Hundreds of individuals were employed in distributing slips of pavr with the words, " For the Rate," " Against the Rite," each party anxiously endeavoured to thrust .into the hands of the several vot:e . s as they arrived. Those who rxet led themselves against the rate were evidently acting- on the voluntary principle,' whilst the opposite party appeared to have been hired for the occasion. N)twithstaring the immense n umber of individuals who had asembled, the most perfect ham mony was preserved. At eight o'clock Mr. Hall, the Chairman, declared the motion for the rate to be lost by a majority of 185. The Tory party, by some species of trickery, endeavoured to claim a majority in their favour, which only excited the laughter of the r opponents. Chc meeting afterwards quietly separated, after giving three cheers, for their success. DEAL, SEPT. 24.—1 t has blown very strong from the eastward the last three days, and still continues, which has prevented arrivals from the westward. This morning a brig was observed at the off part of Goodwin Sands, and front the course she was then steering, it was evident to our boatmen, if she did not alter that course, she must run on shore on the sand, and I regret to add their appre hensions were soon realised , w hich caused a great many of our boats to be launched, and proceed off immediately to render her assistance. On their approach to the vessel they observed a boat bottom upwards, in which it appears seven of the crew left the vessel after she struck. Ttie chief mate, carpenter, steward, and a seaman were drowned by the boat upsetting. The boatswain and two seamen have been picked up by our boatmen, and landed here. in a very exhausted condition. The brig proves to be the Konig der 21rederlanden, of and from Amsterdam for Bata via. it is reported that the remainder of the crew are saved, and carried into Ramsgate ; also that the female passengers that were on hoard were unfortunately drowned. The vessel has gone to pieces ; several boats have brought onshore different articles from the wreck. WITCITCRAFT. 7 —At the Town-hall, Abergavennv, on Wednesday, Sybil .
