REPORT. ag, • • • subm.tting to the proprietors a concise but correct ae 4°°,' t of the Company's position, it is satisfactory to the directors, after the lapse of several months of aggravated commercial diffi culty, bearing with peculiar pressure on every undertaking depen dantt n the application of surplus capital, to be enabled to state s n , , with the exception of such a retarded payment of the last in stalment, as is necessarily consequent on the period, they have not `sitigle fact to communicate which can otherwise than strengthen Br entire confid ence i n th e u lti m ate distinguished success of the •sri tol a n d E xeter R a il way, hi t h erto en t er t a ined by all who are ac quainted with its cheapness, its facilities, its security, and its r esource e . • fully Part i cular facts establishi n g these a d van t ages h ave b e e n so ref t ra .ydemonstrated in their two former reports that the directors vai la from repeating them ; merely remarking on the additional S e !! they derive from the defeat and abandonment, during the last the of Parlia men t, o f e v ery competing line,betwixt London and s 7 a , l v yestern Counties, and a moral certainty, arising both from phy -3.lolpediments an d th e new requirements of the Legislature, that introduction of any ether is effectually precluded. Since the last report two additional contracts, extending to the h igh ro a d t o B r i dgewater, i n t h e v ill age o f Ly m p s ham, have been ca tered into on t erms a d van tageous to the Company, arising from the The nature o f th e gr ound. greater portion of the land is purchased on the 11 miles OtoPnsed in the two first contracts ; and the contractor is availing 'imself of the favourable state of the weather to expedite the pro- L'rcss of the works. 4. " 8 -re, however, of the large amount of capital at present em ployed, on the numerous and extensive railroads in progress through .the kingdom, and desirous of giving the greatest effect to the preface means of the Company, by not operating on too large a at a time, the directors—though fully determined to corn ti the line to Exeter—have resolved to finish and open such par 2tis of it, cominenoing with Bristol, as will enable them to secure i, ? actual remuneration on the eapital expended on its progress to Paton and Uphill in the first instance, Bridgwater in the second, an d Taunton in the third, so that investment and return may, in a Ft ) ( deg ree , k eep pace w ith e a c h other. They purpose, therefore, '° limit the scope of this report chiefly to an exposition of such cir :u!nitariees as will best enable the proprietors to form a c orrect loion of th e requ i re d o utlay and ascertainable proceeds on these portions of their expenditure. aisfTah! estimates of their engineer, which have been hitherto so sa t, ' 11 :)rily borne out by the contracts entered into for upwards of land already 0 -thirds y ofthe distance to Bridgwater, and by the actual cost of purchased, warrant the directors in assuming that the ~,," Ito f opening the line to that port, including the stations, loco engines, and every other expense, will, at the outside, not exceed thirty-five pounds per share. hi stating the dividend to be reasonably anticiputed from this ex- Pe u diture, they are so fully sensible of the exten t of p re j udice the y Pve to encounter, arising less from the misrepresentations of the 14t erested, than from the inconsiderate assumptions of a few who -r .w,enitequai n t e d with the facts of the question, and the credence „s fielded by the many to assertions to which they have never exa "nod the proof, th a t the directors would feel the declara tion of tr uth itself to be unavailing, unless supported by that species and mount of evidence which they well know must remain uns haken b y iste severest scrutiny. to hey subjoin, therefore, as an appendix, an abstract , c orrected present time, of the traffic, proved before the Parliamentary ramittee under the investigation of adverse counsel, and illus trated b such references as can lea ve little room for doubt in ends aecessible to the influence of t estimo ny . To those who, raytled by th e ce l e brity which our great manufacturing towns e obtained from the magnitude and productions, rather than the travelling wants and habits of their population, conclude that these must of necessity create an extent of intercourse, for which it will b e va i n to seek a parallel in the other districts of the king dote, it will appear remarkable that the coaches at this time daily runnin g betevixt London, Bristol, and Exeter, considerably exceed , t he entire number plying between London and Birmingham, ',,irerpool, and Manchester, before the opening of the Grand 'uncti o n Railroad. Yet such is the incontrovertible fact, as will , , seen by any one who takes the trouble to refer to the appendix ; and it i s y on this plain ground, together with the acknowledged cheapness which natural facilities give to the construction of the Bristol and Exeter line, that the directors feel justified in holding out to the shareholders the expectation of a dividend of 13 per cent. the autly before-mentioned to Bridgwater. To this it may be r o tted that it is the peculiar advantage of this line to open up new e it 4ve " of profit in its progress, at such short successive distances as tio than D resented by any similar undertaking. The comple pr/°' loss ten miles will enable the company, at an ample uet " not included in the present or any estimate, to bring the pro shie°f a vast coal-field into the city of Bristol, at a charge of one per ton • twelve additional miles, which bring the line v c ii s i c e to the mouth. of the Ax, and the natural harbour at Uphill stattlish a line of communication betwixt the whole of the of Ireland (including of course, the southern coast of es!, and Bristol, and London, of which the most sanguin e can scarcely calculate the advantages ; and eleven miles more, by car rying the line to Bridgwater, will necessarily render it the medium °•,„' intercourse between the Western Counties, and London, and the Although, a s the subjoined accounts will shew , th e outla y on I % b , " e works is b ecom i ng heavy, the directors expect that t h e balance hand, aided by the instalment now in coucse of receipt, will r r°lBl it the necessity, for some months , of a further call on the hareholders. Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub- Pet, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole line auld be si mu lt an eously in operation—and, under the feeling that 1,- feasible economy should be exercised—the directors have ear- Y. applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re i,"°,eti several branches of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a fi rst of the compensation, so libera ll y voted for their services at geoet•al meeting. Cerefully weighing, therefore, every consideration, whether of IPublie or priv ste nature, which relates to this undertaking, the pith feel its"vq„-orous prosecution to be their highest duty, and with a steadfast deteinsination to fulfil it, cheerfully appeal to the "'deuce and sun port sif all who are interested in its com p letion.

They have also discovered a NEW COMPOSITION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally im pervious to aids. ARTIFICIAL 'I EETH have hitherto been foun t ob. tectienablit by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency t• DISCOLOUR there, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs.

SIR, —Perceiving that in one of your bills my name is mentioned in union with that of my late patient Mr. I..atchfield, I beg leave to confirm his tostimony, and state the great benefit derived by the use of your ex. cellent herbaceous eye-snuff in Ills case, which ho cornea was one of obstinate chronic ophthalmia, ac com p anied by opacity of t, and a varicose state of the conjunctional vessels. Ilis ease ties the first snider my notice in which the preparation was used ; but, being struck by the a d_ vantageous results, I resolved to lay aelde prtrdices, and advise It s use in some cases in nay practice at this hospital. 'ltio benefit was great, and bee led ate still further to recommend it, but, unfoftumstely, the funds of the hospital are low, and our patients ton often cannot afrof4 the purchase of your snuff, it being, from its ;nice, almost as unattainable to the poor as patent jnedicine would be. If it be not asking too much, could you form any arrangement by which the really indigent patients of valueittn io could be supplied with the ey e-snuff at a lower pried, on pug a re. commendation to that effect, signed by me. If you could, I would ask you to be so kind as to write to me here on the subject; in doing so you would perform a great act of charity, and the obligation b wou ie ld nt serva be felt, not only by the poor whom you would relieve, but b sf y your oednt, , G.

Extract from the Standard, of Sept. 26 : " We have been much pleased at the manner in which this perio dical is invariably noticed by the provincial papers, and we need scarcely remark that we entirely concur in the praise bestowed on it by our brethren of the Press. There are now before us the Ply mouth Herald and the Leicester Journal. The first.says, This well-conducted and talented periodical stands exceedingly high, having acquired, in a few years, that extensive public support which many publications have been ages endeavouring to obtain.' Flie Leicester Journal is equally lavish in its praise, when it says, ' The varied merits which have exalted this invaluable periodical into a potent rival of Blackwood, abound in the present Number.

PROSPECTUS OF A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, TO BE PUBLISHED IN GATESHEAD, Under the Title.of T HE GATESHEAD OBSERVER, AND NEWCASTLE, DURHAM, AND NORTHUMBERLAND ADVERTISER. The Borough of Gateshead is one of the most flourishing Mu nicipalities of the North of England. Its Commercial Conse quence and Political Power lwar equal testimony to the Industry, Independence, and Union of its Population. A few short years of honourable exertion have achieved its emancipation from a state of suburban Inferiority, and placed it amongst England's most in dependent Communities. lts northern Neighbour —once its op pressor—now stretches forth the hand of equality and alliance, an d the spirit of a common interest animates the population of " both sides of the Tyne." The genial influences of -mutual confidence, succeeding the cold jealousies of a by-gone age, have fostered and matured the wholesome fruits of liberal legislation. That " know ledge is power," Gateshead is an evidence. That power m a y be safely vested in an educated people, Gateshead is an instance. Its Inhabitants knew their Rights, demanded, and obtained them. Within Parliament and without, it was denounced by the Prophets of Toryism as unworthy of 'political lo wer, whilst a L iberal Ad ministration advocated and insisted upon its admission within th e pale of the Constitution. The Reform Bill c o n f erred upon it the privilege of Parliamentary Representation , a nd the Municipal Bill secured to its Inhabitants the benefits of a resp onsi b le Local Go vernment. In the exercise of their high P rero gatives, the People of Gateshead have nobly justified their friends, and belied their foes. Whilst on all sides, Corruption has been busied, in some cases too successfully, in its odious work—the Independence of the Borough has remained unshaken—defying alike the open and the secret foe—the assailant fiorn without, and the assassin from within. ...... Such a result will gladden, but certainly not surprise a true Re former. The friend of popular rights will only view the picture as a verifieation of his own predictions—as the "consummation" he so " devoutly wished." But surprize will be felt that a popu lation closely verging upon 20,000 and contributing to taxation upon an annual rental of 30,0001., should not be able, at this period of intellectual advancement., to boast of a Newspaper published amongst themselves, for the purpose of advocating and disseminating those political opini‘ ns by which they have been distinguished. The virulence of their political enemies—the total disregard for truth—the shameless calumnies—the invasions of domestic pri vacy—the attacks upon Commercial Credit—exhibited by degraded hirelings of the Tory party—have at length awakened a spirit of just resistanre in this insulted community. The effects of oft repeated and uncontradicted falsehoods have been already felt. Th e apathy of the injured has been represented to the ignorant with malicious ingenuity, as an evidence of guilt ; and the liar, availing himself of his vantage ground, has spread the curses of his political ' poison over many a deluded district. Such a state of things will exist no longer. The public will have the means of viewing and examining Both Sides of the question. The bane n ill be accom panied with the antidote, and the majesty of a Free Press, of which Truth is the most glorious attribute, will be no longer in sulted and degraded by combinations of disgusting hypocrisy and insolent imposture. The Reformers of Gateshead and the surrounding populous Dis tricts have resolved to publish a Weekly Newspaper, under the Title of " The Gateshead Observer, and Newcastle, Durham, and Northumberland Advertiser." The intended Editors and Conduc tors of the " Observer" are men of well known political consis tency. No degraded Apostate,—however great his talent, or servile his submission—will be permitted to labour in the poli tical vineyard, or poison the pure fountain of popular Information. Household Suffrage—Triennial Parliaments—Vote by Ballot— Abolition of Church-rates and of every political Disability on ac count of religious Differences of opinion—the Right of Parliament to appropriate the Surplus of the Church Revenues to purposes of the State, and the necessity of immediately acting upon this prin ciple—a large and efficient System of National Education—a thorough Reform of the Law, by which its Severities may be softened, its Imperfections abolished, and its Expenses diminished —Perfect Equality of Munich al and all other Rights in every divi sion of the Empire—the Restriction of the Bishops to their Reli gious Duties—and a Reform of the House of Lords, enabling it to harmonize with the Constitution, instead of endangering its Existence :—these are the great Principles upon which the "Gates head Observer" will be conducted. A wide and glorious field lies before it. The deluded Tenant—the besotted Freeman—Victims rather than Supporters of a wicked Policy—need but to be enlight ened to be reformed, The Mast must be torn from the Op pressor's Front—and the False Prophet stripped of l i ls titaPPPOYe Clothing. The test of public Rectitude must be applied to die Parliamentary Pretender, and the forces of political Reason made to bear upon every Champion of popular Deception. The day of reckoning is at hand. " The Gateshead Observer" must so or ganize and jmprosg the Electoral Phalanx, that on that day a more than ever kr,lorious Balange maike fotrid in favour of Constitutional Reform. Her Majesty's Liberal Ministry will be honestly—not slavishly— supported. The same freedom vtith which praise will be bestovvee l , where praise is due, will denounce every appearance of hesitation, every symptom of compromise with the People's Adversaries. The " pressure from without" will be constantly but temperately re commended, not less as the best Bulwark of a Reforming Mi nistry than as the dearest privilege of a free People. The local Interests of Gateshead anu of the Immense Popula tion by which it is surrounded will be in every Instance zealously advocated and promoted. No Rivalry—No Party Differences can operate in this respect upon honest Journalists. The spirit of Im provement, as exhibited in the splendid Railway enterprizes of the Neighbeerbond will 4991} trite the Northern Cotioties into one commercial family, with it common aim stns} interest. Every species of Information, Agricultural, Comnlereial, Literary and Scientific, will be liberally and ably supplied—in short, no exer tion will be wanting to render the Gateshead Newspaper not era ) the able 4dygpVp of the People's Rights, but the faithful Chroni cler of their procet*lgs, and the inelnstriqus contributor to their ivants and pleasures.

Yesterday informationwas received at the various station-houses and police offices of the committal of the following robberies :—Between eight and ten o'clock yes terday morning some thief entered the house of Mr. Frazer, No. 6, Morris's-walk, Southwark-bridge-road, and stole from the first-floor a rosewood workbox, containing a 101. Bank of England note, between 20/. and 301. in gold, a number of gold bracelets, ear-rings, and rings, and a variety of other articles. The thief obtained access to the pre mises'by means of the street door, which had been left open by the servant, the family being at breakfast at the time. Also, between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a man, about 24 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or nine inches high, dressed In a blue jacket and trousers, entered the shop of Mr. Marks, silversmith and jeweller, Jermyn-street, St. James's, and asked to look at some gold rings. A tray of gold rings, hall-marked, was accordingly shown him, and while Mr. Marks's attention was drawn by him to ano ther WM of tho shop, ho contrived to abstract nearly the whole contents of the tray, and, darting out of the shop, effected his escape, although immediately pureued by a number of persons, • • Yesterday morning, as one of the Paddington om nibuses was proceeding along Holborn to the City, one of the fore wheels came off, and the ponderous vehicle, canting forward, was only prevented from falling flat on its side by resting on the end of the axletrce. A young woman named Sarah Thomas, who was sitting in front of the rad, was thrown off, and sustained very soyerp injury. She was car ried to St. 1 3artholntriewls hospital, and her life is at present considered to be in very great danger, The General Steam Navigation Company's packet the Caledonia, from Hamburg, arrived off the Custom-house yesterday at noon. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held qt the Plasterer Arms t Tottp*R-equtt-rocl i ha l ve Mr. Stir ling and a respeptuble jury, on view of the body of Thomft! Howell, aged 22, late barman at the above louse : 7 ..0 committed su i c id e b y cutt i ng hi s throat ti a very dreadful manner. The jury returned a verdict of " Teurrary insanity." The half-pay of the undermentioned Officers has b?en cancelh d from the Ist instant, inclusive, they having a commutml allowance for their commissions:— Deputy Purveyor J. Mould, half.pay of the H tspit 11 Staff. Captain J. L. Pleyardt, half-pay Wattcville's Regi ncnt. Lieut. H. Ruttan, half-pay Battalion of Incorporated Mi!itia cf Upper Canada. Captain A. Maclean, half-pay Battalion of In3orpo:atel Ali of Upper Canada. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 2. "HELL AND DAMNATION TO LORD MULGRAVE. AND ALL OF HIS RADICAL FEELING!" The Orangemen begin to be a little alarmed at the ad scription to them of a toast so blasphemous and brutal. with which nothing short of the stern duty imposed ono.) us as public journalists would induce us to stain our pages, and accordingly their organs are actively employed in neu tralizing the effect, and repairing, as well as they can, the mischief done by their employers. The Mail of this after noon protests that the blood-thirsty toast was not drunk on the occasion referred to, and, moreover, that no toast whatsoever was given or drunk during the entire evening. But how does the advocate of the Orange faction support the assertion. of his client's innocence ? What evidence does he produce? An anonymous letter, with the following vague assertion made by " William Caulfield," who says " I never drank either of the toasts imparted to me ; and on referring to the Tralee Mercury and Kerry Evening Pala of Wednesday last, you will find a letter from me, in which, in a most distinct and implicit manner, I denied having drank either of the toasts." We are of course bound to believe the truth of this in dividual's declaration ; and for the honour of human nature we sincerely hope that Mr. Caulfield, as well as all the other parties implicated in this revolting transaction, are entirely free from blame ; but if the Mad can produce no more complete evidence of the innocency of Orange orgies than it has got up to-day, we apprehend that some of its patrons must be found guilty of the crime with which more (Inn one of thtm now stand arraigned at the bar of public opinion. INAUGURATION or THE LORD MAYOR.—On Saturday Alderman Warren was (Morn in Lord Mayor, and Messrs. Jcnes and Quintin High Sheriffs of the City of Dublin, for the ensuing year. The Freeman's Journal has the following sir% ationa on the Lord Mayor's dinner : " THE Loan MAYOR'S DINNEL—The corporation, though still alive and kicking, begins to feel the pangs of approaching dissolution. Mr. Recorder Shaw—who used to spout rampant Toryism in the presence chamber, and dilate, in good set phrase, on the uses of close corporations as a means of upholding Protestant ascendancy—was tame as a sucking dove on Saturday. There was but a half sentence in his oration—and that vaguely thrown out—in .which Lord Mulg,rave could no share. The Lori Mayor, too, forgot the hint of the Moil, anent " the battle of the Diamond?' • The toast which our esteemed cotemporary hoped the Lord Mayor elect . would propose at his inauguration dinner, and which every body expected would he the toast of the evening, was neither given nor drank. Tire proceedings altogether, with the exception of the unseemly and unmannerly inter ruption of the out-and-outers, whilst the Archbishop of Dublin was speakin g —reflected much credit on the good 'sense and discretion of the Chief Magistrate and his guests. The Charter toast, " the glorious and immortal memory," was drank as a matter of course ; but on this occasion, " when the cheering had subsided," the national air was substituted for the Boyne Water—" Most musical most melancholy."

In various parts of the metropolis notices have been given by different gin-palace keepers of their intention not to carry on business until past one o'clock on the afternoon of Sundays. This example was first set by Mr. Whittel, of the London Spa public-house, in Rosamond -street, Clerken well, one of the most extensive wine and spirit vaults in the metropolis, in consequence of a motion carried at the last Middlesex Meeting of Magistrates, " That, in the opinion of this Court, it would greatly conduce to the comfort of the inhabitants if the publicans of London would not exercise their calling during the morning of the sabbath-day," The alteration will no doubt give satisfaction, as it will olear the streets of many of the blackguards who havo been in the habit of reeliog about it during church hours. THE DUNMORE FLITCH OF BACON.—On the 25th ult. the far-famed Dunmow flitch was awarded to Mary Bloomfield to hor husband also was adjudged the first prize to deserving labourers, given by the Agricultural Society. They were a hale old pair, and Mrs. Bloomfield had on the gown in which *he was married forty years ago, and its freshness spoke loudly for her careful habits.. Most of their children were gathered round them. After a speech fi , om Mr. Player, late Mayor of Saffron Walden, who much to his credit revived this incitement to virtuous conduct, the bacon was delivered to the good old pair, and as the " head of the household," looked round on his superiors who were thus endeavouring to draw others into his honottrahie path, one of the sons volunteered to earq the gammon to his parent's cottage, and at the ocinclusion of the proceedings the family burg it off the ground amid, t nig ohc 491 th gsgemllly: . . Thomas Henn §1 years of age, an inmate of Bedlin►rtn„ workhouse, and who had been completely blind for 12 years, had his sight suddenly restored whilst at dinner about ten days ago, and he is now going his rounds in the village, recognizing his old acquaintances and haunts. — Newcastle C4ronick. . • ; ;;'P;,, ;. AI POLICE INTELLI „ • 8:%* ,4 • MANSION- 0U S (k\ A young Frenchwoman, of very respe • and address, appeared before Sir CHAP. A SHALL and the LORD MAYOR elect, upon an information, charging her, together with her husband, with having smuggled some worked muslin collars and other French goods, ly mean; of a trunk containing 4 false bottom. The Solicito for the CtlatQMs a peared to supa t tht informations, And stated that the () .0041 WAS ';i~tmttßai to August lad. On the Nth of that ttonth the Wit* wft searched, and found to ctltttain iq k ttoilr 4 worked collars to the value of 84L without pattleilt of duty. The defendant and her lileuantl, who walk `.got ye's in custody, had cotfi over with the trunk from 1 -30ulogii4 4 The defendant said her moo was Cecilia 'Hyo3, She declared that she was wholly ignorant of tk o l a ms of E n g, land, and h a d un l uc kily f o ll owed the adv'.ce of a fri en d, to whom she expressed a wish, without. the knowledge ut her husband, to bring over some collars, As she had pd vately conveyed the goods, altlaougb she was not aware of the in jury she was inflicting upon trade, she pleaded guilty, and threw herself upon the mercy of the Court. The Solicitor for the Customs said that the penalty was considerable, but it was in the power of the Magistrates, if they saw any cause, to mitigate it. Two gentlemen, who appeared on behalf of the defen• dant, represented her desolate condition. The husband was, they knew; a very poor man. The Solicitor for the Customs —That may be, but be most certainly is a smuggler, • Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL —We should wish to be as mild as possible, but the case is unquestionably a most fla grant one, and our judgment is that the defendant do pay a penalty of 401. Her friends *fired to bail the defendant, but the Alder man said that nothing but the payment of the money could be received for her liberation from custody. The lady wept, but the solicitor for the Customs said . he had not the slightest doubt as to the payment of the amount by some party behind the curtain. A seaman named John Campbell, one of the most com plete naval characters that has lately appeared before the public, walked into the Mansion House. He had been some days, ago hocuised in one of the low neighb, u hoods into which sailors are sure to go when they have got money, and he had been afterwards, to a certain extent, protected by a poor fellow, who saw that he was drunk and stupid, and incurred the suspicion .of having robbed him by that act of kindness. When first Campbell was b/ought up the Lord Mayor directed that he should be taken care of in the Compter, and that his papers, which declared him to be entitled to considerable prize -money, should be locked up until until the effect of the narcotic which had been administefed to him should disappear. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Campbell, what do you in tend to do ? Campbell—To go to sea, as soon as I have spent- all my money ; and I hope that won't be The LORD MAYOR—How much more had you about 1 vou on the day you were served this trick ? Campbell— had ten sovereigns about m e , an d I was offered 80/. for those pap ers y our Lordship has of mine t and I'd thank you for' them. I never-yet was happy till 1 had spent every sixpence. The Lona) Mavon=—But you may be murdered as well as robbed if you carry money about you in this Manner. Campbell —Ay e , aye ; and if I h a d no money at all they would not either rob or murder ins ; so, you see, I'm rigibt after all. The police said that they were informed at several pUb lie-houses where the seaman called to have a drop of grog that, upon being offered :halfpence in change, he said he never dirtied his fing'rs with' copper. It was impossible to get him to walk too ; nothing'Would do but a cal y; and the driver not only bad his fare, but es much grog as he could carry.---( A laugh.) Campbell—l den% know how people can walk la the streets; stones were made for horses to walk upon —not for men ; and I an't going to begin now, except yea haninicr me up in iron. The LORD MAYOR—You said that the poor man who took you home acted well to you ? Is that true ? Campbell—As true as the Book of Genesis; not a word thlt aint as clear as a marling-spike from beginning to end. Tile LORD MAYOR—I - low did you becotne entitled 'to this prize -money ?—Cainpbeil—By hard Work, in poking at the slavers. As soon as I have got through the cash I'll bid hot you all ill,farewe for I'm , going off to Afrikay, - a pl ace as as he.—(Aagh.) The Loan MAYOR—You are not yet recovered frOns the dose that was given to you, and Mr. Hobler cannot give you the papers yet. Campbell—All I want is a small matter (10/.) more, just to treat a few messmates, and then Pit go abroad, as sure as the Psalms of David. The LORD MAYOR_I'm surprised that a man of such an education as you possess should give himself up to drink, and the rabble and the scum of the town. Campbell—lts all because I wish to get back to sea again ; money is the greatest torment I know. I'm never myself till I haven't got a shot in the locker. The police said they were convinced that if the seaman had. a sum of money he would fling it aboUt to the winds, rather than keep it jn his pocket. They had never beheld such an instance of ‘eontempt.for that - whicli the rest of man kind were cOntending:for perpetually. - - • The LORD MAYOR said he could not think of restoring the papers to so extraordinary a fellow until he should make further inquiries. Campbell—Well, if you ain't a good fellow I'm —., lIATT ON GARDEN.

For several clays past a considerable degree of excite ment has prevailed at Brixton, in consequence of disputed claims to property called " The Angell estate," in that neighbourhood, and two men, of respectable appearance, named William Angell and James Sturt, were charged at this office with taking forcible possession of it, and assault ing the tenant in possession. The defendant, Angell, contended that he had a legal right to the property in question, and complained that he had been kept out of it, nearly to the ruin of his family, for forty years. Evidence was called to prove that the defendant, with others, took possession of the estate by forcible means, in doing which they broke down the fence, and erected tents all over the 'grounds. When warned off they refused to go, and to co►npel them the present proceedings were adopted. Mr. Ludh - arn had pureksed a lease of the estate, and three years of it were still unexpired. An offer was made by the Counsel employed for the com plainant that if the defendant consented to withdraw from the estate, and pitch their tents elsewhere, no further pro ceedings would he taken. The defendant, Angell, having refused to enter into any comp ac t of the kind, still contending his right to the estate, after a lengthened discussion on the point between the Ma gist rat es, they held the defendant to bail.
