S , .oth to say, we prefer the dramatic to 1 h ! operatic version of this plot. Haleq's music is r. e47Y and i nexpressive, and in those situations in which apidit b u t ts the life and soul of the play, the opera hangs fire; Q„,, Mr, pia.en Mary's Bower, such is the title which versi on r er'i, the adapter of the piece has chosen for his latter the e, the bustle, incident, and character; in which opera. is sadly deficient. With that unerring I.3alhatic tact for which Mr. Plsrarl é is so eminently listinguished, he has accowpli.hed in this play all that ,Ile.purposed. In every instance he has hit exactly the Point at which he aimed. The scene is laid at Hampton j-",; )( t, i n t h e year 1685, and the Mousquetair, sde la th e of the original are transformed into the officers of tri o Queens Life Guards (the queen b e i ng M ar i a Bea fi, queen of James These officers are Captain 11 4c° ,tor ODonoghue (Mr. Hudson) Capt a i n Norris (Mr. Lieutenant H enr y O rmon d (M r. Howe), and eutenant Wentworth (Mr. Brindal). There is, more over, an old Major of Scotch Dragoons, the Laird of ' i llierankie, admirably acted and most picturesquely m ade up by Webster—a punctilious old soldier learned in all that appertains to the duello, and willing at all times to Put his theory into practice—in a word—an honourable and chivalrous I)ugnld Dalgutty, wh o i s th e f rien d o f henry Ormond. These are the principal characters of the pi ece . There i s, o f course, a heroine, the Lady .Arabella Mordaunt (M rs . S e y mour ), L a d y in Waiting to the Queen, and h er con fid ant , Mi ss Lucy liesberough (Miss Fortescue), and nlbeit they had but little to do, they' did that little excellently well. The Lady Ara. Bella is in love with Orm ,, nd,. and she confesses her love to Miss Desborough, adding, at the same time, that that officer is not aware of her attachment. O'Donoghue Partially overhearing this conbssdon, takes it for granted that h e is the only man with a horn it is possible for any pY to fall in love, and immrdiitely opens a corres• ar deuce with the lady tinder a feigned name, who, u'l`eYing her eorresponde nt must be Ormond, consents, irithout much hesqatie n, to meet hici at night in Qu e e n T 4ra rY's Lower, being thereunto advised by her confidante, ' 4l e.Y ; who would, no doubt, had she known the real , Bt ate of th e case, have persuaded h er f r i en d to l et her 4 een the appointment for her, s, eing that she (Miss Lucy Desborough) was as much suaitten by the chsrms of Captain O'Donoghue as the Lady Arabella was by those of Captain Ormond. The interview takes Place, and Olionogliue, who behaves with great rudeness, is speedily dismissed by the lady in great anger, but still she believes that it i s to Ormondshe h as grante d th e interview. This i, truly an event ful night, for, while this interview is going on in the bower, Ormond, by the death of an uncle, inherits the title of Marquis of Carabas, with an estate of 15,0001. a-year to support it, whi c h h e determines to lay at the feet of Lady A ra b e ll a, with whom lie has lon been secretly in love, an d gets b y the punctilious absurdity of old Killicrankie hitched into a duel which is to come off in the morning. His adversary is assassinated on his way home, and Ormonde is arrested as the mur derer. To his great astonishment, however, the Lady Arabella proves an alibi for him, and swears distinctly that at the very time the murder was coin witted Ormonde and herself were enjoying a tete-a-tete in the Queen's B ower. Her testimony being corrobo libratedrt by that of Mi ss D es b orough. Ormonde is set at hus ey b , and of course i s received as the affianced and of Lady Arabella. He is full of gratitude to her for the manner in which she has sacrificed her repu tation to save his life, but when he discovers that there r ea e lly has b een a meet i ng with a supposed Ormonde in th T Bower, he vows v ance against flies the intrader. T he first .person to whom he for advice i is the culprit himself, O'Donoghue, who, if h e h a d n 2 egined that it was for his friend Ormond that the assig nation was intended, would have suffered himself to have b een hanged ere he had kept it. He dares not tell Or lbond the truth, for he would not like to be forced to di spatched him, but h e wr it es hi m t h e truth, and having " 4 -patched the letter, proceeds to provoke old Killi erankie to a duel by abusing Ormond, in order that he 17 "7 get killed. The sc ene b etween Ki ll i crankie and L Y Donoghu e i s a d m i ra b le. The old Major has vowed to St. Andrew never again to fight in a personal quarrel, and his ebullitions of temper, goaded almost beyond en durance on the one hand by the taunts of O'Donoghue, and restrained on the other by recollection of his vow, Were admirably delineated by Webster. At length he r econcih s fighting to hi s conscience in this way. His t il v, O %v was never to fight i n a personal quarrel. Now ls with O'Donoghue is not a personal quarrel, because Personally he has nothing to do with it ; it is the quarrel of his friend Ormonde, and, therefore, he may fight. , 4 , 11, 7 fight accordingly, and Killicrankie, after wounding " D onoghue, finding the latter does not defend himself, i re uses to continue the combat, as being contrary to the 7we of the duello. The letter is delivered to Ormonde— ery thing is explained. Ormonde weds the Lady (Z isab elle, and O'Donoghue and Miss Lucy follow their -3carePle. Henderson, as O'Donoghue was exactly .ttede and he rattled through the part in the most 4 , 1 ,1° 11 e manner imaginable. It is, perhaps, the best ft ," -I ng he has yet dcne. Howe, as Ormonde, exhibited ' re at Pathos where the exhibition of feeling was neces ' ; ' tt rY. and was easy and gentlemanly throughput. Be , mellowing into a first-rate actor. Of Webster 's icrankie it is iossible to s too hihly. In t he t leli neation of such impossible quaint and peak eccentric ch g arac ters, that of the old Scotch Major no one on the stage can vtli°t:e near him. Th e piece was , admirably mounted, and views of Hampton Court, its gardens and its grounds, which • pictures, and so accocun r s a u t t e ut t e h d at the scenery, were perfect "Each path and every alley green, coLli b e Dingle and b us h y dell, " at once recognised. _ There is no-truth in the statement copied from a thefthton paper, that the Queen Dowager was in treaty Nn h .

My report to-day will be comparatively uninteresting. The springs have now passed, and the opportunity of getting the Great Britain off has been lost. Last night's tide was accompanied with a heavy gale, and the Great Britain this morning appears to have forged some fifteen yards further up the beach, with her head pointing N.N.W. She is not now afloat, but high tide will again make in about half an hour, and she may possibly then more. It cannot, however, be for the better. The wind is now blowing almost a gale from the south; the sea setting right into the bay lashes violently under the ship's stern, and the salt spray is bursting in clouds over half the length of her decks. The scene is grand and impressive in the extreme. The bight of the bay ')n the ncrth and west from the coast-guard station house, where I now write, presents, from the rolling of a terrific and rapid succession of waves, a most sublime appearance, as, indeed, does the whole of this rocky and stony coast, extending from St. John's Point lighthouse to Annalong Point to the south, where the lofty Mourne Mountains terminate in the sea. The distance between these two points, forming the outer boundaries of the bay, is perhaps twenty miles. The rudder of the ship has disappeared for some days, and the screw-propeller appears to be considerably in jurel. There can be no question that the vessel is thumping on the shore, and she has made from time to time during the last few days an immense quantity of water. The country peg ple are still engaged in removing the (ilicharged coals from the beach, but some still, I learn, r..main on board. OIIF O'CLOCK, P.M. • The storm keeps increasing as the tide becomes nearly full, and it is now accompanied by a heavy b-ating rain and spendrift, which dashes against the look-out win dows of the station-house. The surf continues to wash over the ship more and more violently, and she presents a truly std spectacle. The great probability is, that her whole frame is strained and her bottom injured; but the real facts cannot be ascertained until low water. She has still several chain cables and anchors out astern. but they appear to be slack; and as the ship has all the morning had her forward gaffsail or spanker set. I think it likely that all hopes of getting her off are abandoned, and that the object now is to forge her on as far as pos sib!e upon the beach, in orti, , r that her position may be rendered secure, or that if she be broken up the mate rials may be better secured. The ship rolls slightly, and has apparently altered her position. Her bow lies to the north. Her larboard quarter is most exposed to the sea. Fouß O'CLOCK. P.M. The tide has fallen but little, if anything, from the ship. She has shifted her stern to about N.W. I fear she must have sustained deplorable damage; and should the gale continue, I cannot but apprehend that the tide will be forced beyond its proper bounds;and that the sea• way may prove still more disastrous to the noble but ill 'fated vessel. We annex the following from the No, thern Wlt g : WEDNESDAY MORNING, NINE O'CLOCK, A.X. Last night's weather has given a more severe trial to the unrortunate Great Britain than she has had to en counter since she came ashore here. The wind is now about due south, blowing stiffly, and the seaway in the bay is absolutely terrific. There is not, except the Great Britain herself, a single craft of any dimensions within view, nor is there the slightest chance that any can, during this, the last of the Ilicth tides, approach her. The war of the waves dashing themselves into minute particles of foam upon the rocks at the edge of the coast, borders on the sublime, and the spray which beats against the larboard side of the Great Britain, which lies to seaward, falls in a shower into the tide on the starboard side ; the waves, at intervals, rising over her stern, and washing her so far fore as her main mast. The country people are still engaged carting off the coals, a considerable heap of which lie on the beach yet. That she can never leave the spot she now occupies amounts to all but an absolute certainty. The captain is still in charge of her, and continues on board. One of the crew just now informed me that a number of the hands leave her to-day ; but Ido not pledge myself to the accuracy of the statement. I have heard rumours also respecting handing her over to the insurance com pany's agents, but as I had no opportunity of informing myself in authentic sources, I do not feel myself at liberty to state them. Two O'CLOCK, P.M. The tide has been now something better than an hour on ebb ; but it has not receded the length of the Great Britain's bow. Her stern is shifted north-west, or in the direction of the coast-guard station-house, from the window of which we have been taking observations for the last two hours, as the rain is falling heavily. The water does not, from this, appear to have made any im pression on her works ; but, as I mentioned before, there no point on shore whence one can see her larboard quarter, the part exposed, in the greatest degree, to the violence of the waves. A portion of the gangway, used for the purpose of getting on board at ebb tide, was loosened, and drifted on shore last night. This, of course, is not a fact of any great importance, inasmuch as it may not have been secured very strongly to its berth. She cannot, however, were she every inch of steel, stand much longer, in such a sea. The captain keeps up the foregaffsail still ; but it can not well be imagined that she can drift much nearer the beach than she is at present. It is blowing nearly a gale now, and the rain is falling in torrents. The only cir cumstance which could make any of the succeeding tides at all high enough for the purpose of floating her off, namely, a stiff breeze to the land, would render it a task of impossibility for any craft to come near her ; so that, viewed as it may be, there is not the slightest chance left for it. FOUR O'CLOCK, P.M. The tide has now receded about half-way, and leaves the Great Britain much the worse for the beating of the heavy s ea t o w hi c h she has been exposed. She is evi dently in a very bad and leaky condition ; some of the sailors stated to me to-day that water was nearly as high within her as it rose on h er outs i de. One of the sails on her foremast has been set during the day, at least since ten o'clock ; and the effect of this has been to put her as far as she can be expected to come upon the shore. The wind has settled considerably ; but the idea of endea vouring to get her off seems to have been entirely given up. The only course now left is to get what she con tains as expeditiously ashore as possible. The following is an extract from a private letter with which we have been favoured by a gentleman residing in town. The letter was written a t Dundrum, on Monday; and we may mention, th a t i ts author i 3 an experienced seaman :—" The gale of the last two days has decided her fate ; all sail is now set to harden her higher up on the beach. She sprung a leak last night, and makrs now two feet water per hour. I b e li eve they intend to let her remainhere until next summer?' T HE NAILS.-- SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 2. The Madrid, Captain Bingham, arrived here at four p and landed the Peninsular and other mails. Her dates ' are—Gibraltar, Sept. 28, Cadiz, 29, Lisbon, Oct. 2. Sh e has 24 passengers, and good cargo. The Madrid has experienced very bad weather, both out and home. The Royal Tar, Captain Hamilton, with Peninsular and other mails, and 30 passenv,ers, left the dock at three P.M , on Wednesday, but, from the severity of the gale, she was compelled to anchor for the'night in Yarmouth roads, in the course of which she broke from her moor ings, losing two anchors and cables. The Royal Tar returned to this port, and procured new anchors, & e ., and proceeded at noon en route for Gibraltar. Th e storm of wind and rain with which this port has been visited without intermission since Friday last has been most tremendous, and at present does not seem likely to abate. The Lady de Saumarez, Guernsey mail-packet, left the pier on Tuesday evening, with the mails and 53 passengers, but was obliged, in consequence of the. weather, to come-to off Calshot Castle. She returned to Southampton on Wednesday night, and lef.t again at seven P.M. yesterday. The Achilles, Captain Wilson, is due to-morrow from Alexandria, with East India and China mails. It can hardly be expected she can be here to time. The Transit steam-vessel, belonging to the New South-Western Company, is daily expected from Vigo, with a cargo of cattle. The railways in course of construction in Ireland afford employment to 40,000 labourers, to whom 26,0001 are paid weekly in wages. A loan from the Govern ment to those railway companies that have got Acts of Parliament would double the above return iu men and labour.—Limerick Chronicle. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND YOltK.-At the last meeting of the Lin coln municipality, a memorial to the London and York board, praying thorn to commence with the loop part of the line, received assent, the corporate seal was affixed, and the document was ordered to be transmitted in time for the imp rEant meeting of the directors oa Tuesday, the 6tS instant. A committee vas then appointed to watch the proceedings of railways ; and to report to the council, with a view of preventing two crossings over the High-street—the present impression being that the Lon don and York and Great Grimsby and Lincoln purpose to have separate crossings. The navvies engaged on the Lincoln lines during the excavating of the drains leading to l'odehole, have had some luxurious rne3ls from the large quantity of eels that have be en captured, some of them weighing slbs each. Hundreds of atones have been taken. Nearly 300 persons went from Lincoln on Tuesday last by railway to Derby races. A Scarborough correspondent, alluding to the fright ful accident recorded in these columns the other day, when a shovyer of sparks from the chimney of the engine seriously burnt the apparel of several of the passengers, suggests that all third-class carriages should not only be protected, but made fire-proof. TERMINUS OF THE LYNN AND ELY.—The terminus for the Lynn and Ely, at the former place, is fast ap proaching completion. The building, which is exceed ingly light and graceful in app arance, has been erected under the superintendence of Mr. Sugars. The covered way for the carriages is upwards of 150 feet long, while the platform for general purposes extends to a much greater length. Convenient and spacious waiting rooms have also been added. It is not intended that the !cm sent structure shoal I be the permanent ter minus. The rapidity with which the structure was erected is almost incredible, as scarcely a month since not a hammer was heard to resound where now an extensive range of buildings rice. When the line will be opened the entire distance to Ely, which the forward state of the works indicates will take place within a very short period, the port of Lynn can be attained in something about four hours, making a saving of more than three hours. The hitherto total absence of raiLvay communication to Lynn and its neighbourhood has had a very injurious effect upon the trade of the wort; but judging from the increased traffic on the Yarmouth line, it may be reasonably conjectured that Norfolk's second seaport will share in the prosperity which a cheap, safe, and rapid mode of conveyance is sure to bring in its wake. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON—THE WORCESTER STATION.— WORCESTER, FRIDAY.—A great deal of anxiety is displayed on the part of the inhabit ants of this city with reference to the Worcester station of the Oxf o rd, Worcester, an i Wolverhampton Railway. At present the site fixed on by the company is half a mile (or rather more) from the cross, to the east, and is not very ea s ily access ibl e , t h e roads being narrow, and a steep hill intervening. Numerous suggestions have been made for bringing the line into the centre of the city, near to the cross, and making this locality the station also of all future lines of railway brought into Worcester. Yes terday there were held meetings of the Worcester Town council and Chamber of Commerce, at which this subject was mooted. At the Chamber of Commerce meet ing it was resolved that a deputation should wait upon the directors of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, and demonstrate to them the conve nience which would be afforded to the Worcester traffic, both in passengers and goods, by having a station in the city instead of suburbs. At the Town-council meet ing there was a similar feeling exhibited, but all active measures in promoting the object in view were deferred until the next meeting, in order to comply with the ne cessary forms required. GREAT NORTHERN OF FRANCE.—From the returns ma de of the receipts of this line, which opened only in July last, the amount received for the week ending the 25th of September shows a retnarkaqe decrease in the sums received the previous week ; this decrease having been 28,512 f. 71c , or more than 4,000 f. per day (1601.), the whole am mut received for the week for passenger,' conveyance of goods, &c., having been only 259.4281. 89c., or 37,0751 per day ; 1,403 L, or a total of 9,8211. for the week. This decrease in the traffic of one of the most important lines in France cannot be accounted for, as it joins Paris, running through Beauvais, Amiens, Arras, Lille, Tourney, Valenciennes, Mers d'Auzin, to the Belgian frontier, and the Brussels line, pas s i ng through a very commercial, agricultural, and mineral portion of the northern part of the kingdom. We are happy to announce, on excellent authority, that no obstacle of a legal kind is opposed to the laying down of the broad gauge to the contemplated station at Je.sop's Garden. The work will be commenced as soon as Mr. Brunel and Mr. Stephenson have agreed upon the manner in which the alteration shall be made. The former, we believe, is not satisfied with the addition of a single new rail to those already in use; but wishes ~For the sake of security, to have the whole re laid, and the permanent way repaired where necessary. We under stand the only cause of delay is Mr. Stephenson's in ability to give the requi&ite attendance for adjusting this matter—a hindrance which we hope will soon be re moved.—Cheltenham Chronicle. LARGE ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN FLOUR.—The New York packet-ship, Northumberland, R. H. Gris wold, commander, arrived on Thursday in the London Dock with 5.000 barrels of flour, each weighing one hundred weight and thr'e quarters, a large quantity of cheese, and 3,000 kegs of turpentne. THE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—On Friday, at two o'clock, the quarterly court of the Seamen's Hos pital S.,ciety for sick and itis-ased seamen on board the Dreadnought, was held at the office, No. 74. King William-street. at which were present the Earl of Wa'- &grave, Mr. J. Labouchere, Mr. A. Young, &c. Mr. Sanders read the report, which showed the receipts to amount to 2,1801 10s. 4d., including 6301. Is. 2d. balance, 5111. 153. donations, 1141. 6s. 6d. annual subscriptions, 5851. dividend, 1201. 16s. from the Merchant Fund, &c. ; and that after paying the expenses, there was in hand 447/. 14s. I Id. The total sick had been 750, the out patients being 474. There were now 149 sick. The report was unanimously received and adopted. Among the life governors is the Emperor of China. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the court broke up. MELANCIGLY OCCURRENCE.—On the morning of Wednesday, the 23d ult., whilst a number of men, em ployed at the repairs of the road between Tomdown Inn and Glenquoich, were engaged in excavating a gravel pit, the bank suddenly tea in, in consequence of which a young man, named Angus Macmaster, was killed on the spot„and a younger brother so seriously injured that he expired on the second day after the accident. Such was the consternation and confusion of the whole party, that for a length of time doubts existed of the elder brother's fate, and nearly a quarter of an hour had elapsed before his maneled remains were dug out of the gravel. Dr. Gwynne of Fort Augustus was immediately summoned to the spot, and rendered every assistance in his power to the survivor; but his friends being desirous to remove him to his father's house, near Fort William, a spring cart was procured, and he was conveyed to Letterfinlay, where tie breathed his last early on &Aut.• day morning. They were both young men of excellent character, and a third brother (the overseer of the party) was within a few feet of the fatal spot at the time the accident happened.—lnverness Courier. 5,589,082 1,336,648 254 867,780 98,073 563,882 550,000 9,005,719 4,815,955 13,821,674 6,260,508 5,762,370 5,540,730 1,329,492 705,118 98,282 460,955 472,500 8,598,077 5,762,370 14.360,447 229,344 498,138 727,482 ADDITIONS TO' THE METRO POLIS WESTWARD. It is instructive to observe how rapidly the progress of centralisation is advancing, and it may be by the aid of railroads, civilisation also. According to the city records at Guildhall, it appears that on the 7th of July, 1580, by a proclamation, dated at Nonsuch, by Queen Elizabeth, all persons were prohibited from building houses within three miles of any of the city gates of London, and va rious other regulations were ordered to be enforced to prevent any further resort of the people to the capital from distant parts of the country.• In the year 1602. jut one year before Elizabeth expired at Richmond, ac cording to th e F m l era , vo l. xvi., p. 448, another procla mation was made for restraining the increase of buildings in the metropolis, by which she commands all persons to desist from any new building of any house or tenement within three miles of London, only one family to live in any house ; empty houses erected within seven years not to be let, and unfinished buildings on new foundations to be pulled down.t In the following month another pro clamation was made for restraining the increase of build ings, and for the " voyding of inmates" in the cities of London and Westminster, and for the space of three miles distant.t Immediately after the demise of the Queen, her suc cessor, James 1., issued a proclamation, whereby " mul titudes of dwellers in straight roomes" were prohibited and newly erected houses commanded to be pulled down.§ Several other proclamations were made in this reign, James remarking that the growth of the capital resembled the head of a rickety child, in which an ex cessive influx of humour drained and impoverished the extremities, and at the same time generated distemper in the overloaded part. _ _ Soon after the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot (1605-6) another proclamation was issued regarding the increase of new buildings in and about the metropolis ; and from this time t 3 the accession of the house of Hanover but little mention is made of Government in terference. The prophecy of old Mother Shipton, whose effigy still adorns a road-side public house, near Hampstead, has not yet been consummated. The old Sybil said, that " when London reached Hampstead, the former would decline and fall." Notwithstanding this, Somers Town, Camden Town, Pentonville, Finsbury and Islington, Hoxton and Holloway, have all, by a persevering spirit of building, joined Hampstead and Highgate, and it is impossible to breathe freely until we got still further north. Eastward from Aldgate Pump, through Mile-end to Stratford•at-Bow, there is not a sqnare foot of vantage ground ; and southward, from the Elephant and Castle, a goodly ten miles may be traversed from any point of the compass, without meeting with a single untenanted spot. To the westward, the overgrown wen of London bids fair to shake hands with Windsor, from Albert Gate, where Hudson's mansion stands. To Hammersmith all is continuation of brick and mor tar ; new churches, new hospitals,ll and other public buildings, Hie up in rapid succession. But there is an other gate from which we may diverge, that of Tyburn, and heavy indeed would be the task of counting the end less rows of newly-built mansions ; whether we pro gress towards Bayswater, or to Harrow, we may find about a dozen new churches, and yet another new hos- pital in the course of ertction, St. Mary's, Paddington, of which that excellent friend of humanity, the member for St. Alban., Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., is a warm advocate and supporter. The princely manificmce of Westbourne-terrace, Hyde Park, is almost incredible—each mansion has a splendid conservatory, stabling for four horses, harness-rooms, double coach-house, with loft and sleeping rooms. It is built on a gravelly soil, and is half a mile in length, ter minated by the new parish church (St. John's.) Another church has been recently erected at the north end, near the contemplated private entrance for her Majesty to the Great Western Railway. Westbourne-terracelr is forty feet wider than Portland-place," and seventy feet above high water mark, the ground floors being on a level with the attics of Eaton and Belgrave-squares. The ground owner of this immense estate is William Kingdom, Esq. The rentals of these princely residences vary, the lowest being 3501. per annum, and the highest 5501. Gloucester-terrace, parallel to Westbourne-terrace, presents another noble range of houses, of which the rentals each average 1301 Oxford and Cambridge-ter races are all of recent construction, as are Sussex-gar dens, Sussex-square, Gloucester•terrace, St. Phillip's Church, Westbourne-street, and Kensington Garden terrace, leading into the Uxbridge-road. We have said nothing of St. John's Wood or Pimlico, and, their exten sions; enough has been stated to startle the tire or reflecting mind. It may be added that there - are nearly fort) different building societies in London, form ing a sort of joint-stock partnership for the erection of houses in the suburbs of the •netropohs• * Maitland, i., 264. t Foadera, vol. xvi.

On the Brompton-road, opposite the York-terrace, arises the western wing and princip a l en t ran ce of the new Hospital for Consumption and Di seases o f th e Chest, which, when finally completed, will rank among the first of our metropoli tan charities. A sum of nearly 14,0001. has already been expended in its erection. The architect is Frederick J. Francis, Esq., of Cork-street, Burlington-gardens, and the builders Messrs. Bird, of Hammersmith. When completed, accommodation will be afforded to 200 indoor patients. ¶ The ground on which these modern palaces are erected is church property, and leased for a period of ninety-eight years, granted by the Bishop of London and trustees. of the Paddington estate.

GORE'S NEW-NOVEL, " ME N OF CAPITAL." --The fashionable novel may be regarded as the nux vomica of parvenus.

The title of .. m en o f Capital" leads us to believe that the Ten of Mrs. Gore has been tilting against certain theories and dominions which have arisen out of the golden mud of railway speculation. Great curiosity prevails in the moneyed world concerning the announced work. IMPORTATION OF TORACCO.—The revenue autho rities having had under their consideration an applica tion referring to the 14th section of the Warehousing Act, 8 and 9 Vic. cap. 91, by which it is enacted, that " within one month after any tobacco shall have been warehoused, the proper offi :ors of Customs shall take a particular account of the s ame ;" and request i ng, as to bacco cannot be sampled in warm weather, without, in jury to the article, that t he weighing thereof may be deferred to a future period in certain cases ; and being of opinion that when parties are desiro us o deferring the a r t k e e dr tare, is no objection to the weighing of the tobacco , not for an ind e fi n it e per i o d, until it suit their convenience either t o samp l e or ig kages of unmanufactured tobacco b e i ng weighed gross if any, or an esti mated tare allowed th e r e on , in the same manner as i s directed to be observed by their order of J u l y , 1826, with regard to package s of cigars. Orders h ave b een upon pwaee h importation, the same for and d h u e t he issued to the principal officers of th e several departments, to permit the same in tuture accordingly. This order will be a source of great convenience to the importers and dealers in tobacco, and will be of interest and im portance to the trade. DEATH OF A CONVICT BY DROWNING. —Oll Thurs day afternoon, about tao o'clock, a convict of the War rior hulk, named Turner, while at work unloading timber from a London trading vessel, overbalanced himself and fell into the river. A waterman's boat was promptly on the spot, and every exertion made to save him, but he disappeared almost instantaneously at the stern of the vessel. The same convict fell into the river about twelvemonth: ago in a nearly similar manner as the pre sent, which has proved fatal, and it was with the greatest difficulty he was saved the first time.

There are no less than 46 races on paper for the week, the majority being matches, as is usual at the close of the Newmarket season ; neverthe less we may reasonably expect a lar ger su ppy of quad rupeds and bipeds than Newmarket has ever seen in its October gatherings. The ball opens with the 50 soya. Plate, for all ages, to close and name the evening bef,,re running. For the 50 soya. Stakes a field of four will Show, but nothing likely to compete with Wilderness, who will win in a canter. The Duke of Bedford's Taurina will easily beat Lord Chesterfield's Hollowback. The Industry colt must succumb to Mermillo. Paragone against Lebanon over the D. M. will be an easy victor. Garryowen will beat Wood Pigeon, and Eothen will repeat the dose to Dr. Goodall. Alarm, with Bst 81b, against the Bishop of Romford's Cob, with Bst 21b, in a T.Y.C. scurry, will stand but little chance. Two sweepstakes, to close and name the evening be,ore running, will complete this day's fare. On Tuesday, the day of the week all important to the ring. will usher in the noble gift of the Grand Duke Cesarewitch. For this stake above a moiety will appear at the post, and will probably be the following : age. st. lb., age. st. lb.

The Steppingley Stakes will be decided as follows •. War Eagle 1 Queen of the May Bridle. 3 As-you-like-it will find itself no match for Idas. Physalis over his Course (T. Y.

On Wednesday Fistiana and the Gladiator filly will have a spar for the 200 sous. stakes, which will te de cided in favour of the former. On Thursday War Eagle will make water gruel of the Cana!etti Stakes. The Bre tby Slakes to Devil-mo-care or Vert-Vert. The Sweepstakes of 200 toys. to Freegift. Miles' Boy will lead the Bishop's Cob a dance to so Le purpose. Oakley will not be alarmed by his opponent. Humdrum will receive from Tom Tulloch. On Friday the Prendergast Stakes, like the Clearivtll Stakes, will go to either Mes rs. Payne or Martyn. Mr. Merton's Mouse!ing will easily cook Paragone. Eothen will beat the Retriever filly. Lady Lurewell will have too much Vanity to succeed. Collingwood, strange to say, will be conquered by a Conspiracy. Mr. Greville's Apricot will not make a Jumble of his match.

Our read ers will recollect the case of one Philip Lempriere, a person, who for many years past, has held the religious se n ti ments o f the Societ.y of Friends. His name appears in our books, on the laws of Jersey, as one of those who has suffered for conscience sake, owing to the refusal of the Bailly and Jurats to recognise the laws of the Empire, and to conform themselves to the lawful orders of their Sovereign in Council. He has been several times summoned before the Court to give evidence, when he has demanded to be heard on his solemn affirmation, which the Court has generally re fused, and on twe or three occasions has committed him to prison, for not taking oath. The first time that he appeared, 1835, was in the case of Sinel v. Guilmoto, when the party who had called him to depose, seeing him about to be committed to prison, dispensed with his evidence. The second time was in 1837, the case of Shave v. Roussel, when Philip Lempriere and George Payn, two witnesses in the cause, objected to take the customary oath, and claimed to be heard OR their solemn affirma tion, conformably to the 3d and 4th, Will. IV., c. 49, which runs as follows: " Whereas it is expedient and reasonable that the solemn affirmation of persons of the persuasion of the people called Quakers, and of Moravians, should be allowed in all cases where an oath is required," be it enacted that " every person of the persuasion called Quakers and every Moravian, be permitted to make his or her solemn affirmation or declaration instead of taking an oath, in all places and for all purposes whatsoever, where an oath is, or shall be required either by the common law or by an Act of Parliament already made or hereafter to be made, which said affirmation or decla ration shall be of the same force and effect, as if he or she hath taken an oath in the usual form." A false affirmation to be punished as perjury. This Act does net mention the colonies and possessions abroad, but from the very comprehensive terms employed in it, the rule as to statutes of universal application must be deemed to operate upon it, and to give effect in all the British dominions. The 2 and 4, Wm. IV., c. 12, is a separate Act relative to Separatists. The demand of Lempriere and Payn having been overruled, they were committed to prison for contempt, and an appeal was made to the full bench, when the Jurats, by a majority of one, decided that the affirma tion of the witnesses should be received, provided they first proved they were Quakers. The plaintiff, after wards conceding that point, the Jurats withdrew the condition, alleg ing the consent of the plaintiff as their motives for so doing, and amended their judgment as follows:-- " On the difficulty which has arisen touching the ob jection of George Payn and Philip Lempriere, witnesses called by the said Guardian to take oath prescribed by the code of laws of 1771, alleging that they were of the S , cioty of Quakers, as appears by the Act of the Court, hearing date the 16th ofJanuary, 1837. The said George l'ayn and Philip Lempriere in the cause. The parties havii:g recognised that the said Payn and Lempriere are if the society called Quakers, and declared their consent that they be heard on their affirmation, to speak the truth without the oath being administered to them, the Court has ordered, that they shall be received accord ingly: therefore the cause is sent back to the inferior number." The third time was in 1839, the case of Guiknoto v. Halfyard, when the Court, refusing to recognise the judgment of the full bench, as a precedent, condemned Lempriere to take oath, and in default, to be imprisoned until he complied. He was accordingly sent to gaol, where he remained ten weeks, suffering greatly from his weak state of health, until the Secretary of State took cognizance of the matter, through the kind solicitude of the committee for sufferings, belonging to the Society of Friends, in London, a dei utation of whom waited upon him, for that purpose. The Secretary of State commu nicated with the Li eu tenan t-G overnor, and the latter, with the Reilly, upon which a full Court was summoned, who instead of deciding upon the merits of the question, libe rated Lempriere, on bail, that he would be forthcoming whenever wanted. The action was subsequently aban doned, by which his evidence was not required. The fourth and last case, is the present one, that of Crown v. Halfyard and M'Grath, charged with having stolen certai❑ property, belonging to Lempnere, who was summoned to give evidence in support of the prose cution. Halfyard, having been liberated on bail of 51., did not appear, but forfeited his recognisance. It is said he has left the island. When the witnesses were about to depose, it was observed, that Lempriere did not hold up his right hand towards the heavens, which is the form of taking an oath in Jersey, upon which the bailiff asked witness the reason. He said, that it was on account of scruples of conscience, being of the religious persuasion of the people called Quakers. M`Grath's advocate, Mr. Godfrey, observed, that Lempriere could not be a Quaker, because he did use the words thee and thou, to which he replied, he could soon satisfy him upon that point. The bailly asked Lempriere what proof he could adduce that he was of that persuasion ? He replied, that he had furnished the proof to the full court, on appeal, in the case of Shave v. Roussel, who decided, that he should be heard on his solemn affirma tion. The Act was sent for, and the Court took the subject into consideration. Lempriere could not engage an advocate to speak in his behalf, as Messrs. Ham mond, Godfrey, and Marrett were engaged for the pri soners, and Mr. Le Sueur as constable had entered the report. The two others were absent. Lempriere re minded the bailiff of the Act of Parliament, 3 and 4, Wm. IV., e. 49, which allowed him to give evidence on his solemn affirmation, and of the Order in Counoil, which required it to be registered. The bailiff, hew ever, refused to take any cognizance of this. Lempriere urged him to refer the matter to the full court, as before, but in vain. The following is a translation of the judgment of the Court, so far as Lempriere is concerned:— * * * "After which, when proceeding against the said Thomas 111`Grath, and to swear in the witnesses, the said Philip Lempriere pretended, that he is of the per suasion called Quakers, and that consequently he cannot be compelled to take oath, but must be heard upon affir mation, conformably to an Act of Parliament. Consider ing, 'that the said Act of Parliament had net been regis tered in this island and cannot have force of law: Con sidering, that the project of law passed by the States on the 7th March, 1842, in order to assimilate the law in this Island to that now existing in England respecting Quakers and Moravians, has not obtained the Royal sanction, and that therefore if Philip Lempriere was to make a false declaration, there exists no law - by virtue of which he would be punishable, as a witness would be, who should falsify his oath. The Court has judged, that the said Philip Lempriere is bound to tyke the custom arythes " t to take theaisa i d Philip l oath p i,e a m s p c r o i n e t r a e in h e a d ri i n n g th p e o C s i o ti d v e el o y f re l f 7 u 7 s l e , d said oath, the Court, conformably to the conclusions of the said Queen's Procureur; has sent him to gaol until he obtem perates' to the judgment of the Court. " mpriere was then committed to the House of Cor rection and incarcerated in the same dungeon as that in which Mr. C. C. Wilson was confined, for an alleged con tempt. The next day he applied to tke gaoler, for a copy of the warrant of committal, and received a piece of paper, purporting to be a memorandum, of the following tenor:- 1846. Philip Lempriere having refused to take oath Sept. 28 1 as a witness at the suit of the Crown, sen tenced by the Court to be detained in pri son until he complies. JOHN I'. DE STE. CROIX.. Lempriere then sent for the editor of this journal, to draw up a memorial to her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Horn- Department, and also to write on his behalf to the Committee for Sufferings belonging to the Society of Friends, to implore their interposition with the Government. which he did ; but proious to doing so, it was deemed necessary to obtain copit s of the Orders' in Council which had commanded the authori- ties in Jersey to register and observe the Acts of Par liament passed for the relief of Quakers, Moravians, and other dissenters. Mr. Le Cras, therefore, applied to the Greflier for copies, and was informed that they could not be obtained, because the documents had, not been recorded. Upon this, he addressed the following letter to the bailiff " Alderbury Lodge, Les Vans, " Jersey, Oct. 1,.1846. " Sir,--I applied yesterday to Mr. Greffier Godfrey for a copy of the Order in Council, addressed to the Go vernor, Bailiff and Jurats, commanding them to register as Act of Parliament, the 3d 40 4th Will. IV., chap. 49, 1,833,
